The apocalypse is here already.
Predicting the future is useless, it's better to try to live in the present

When he was twenty-three years old he studied I-King, the profoundest doctrine of the universe. It was winter at the time and he needed some heavy clothes. He wrote his teacher, who lived a hundred miles away, telling him of his need, and gave the letter to a traveler to deliver. Almost the whole winter passed and neither answer nor clothes arrived. So Kitano resorted to the prescience of I-King, which also teaches the art of divination, to determine whether or not his letter had miscarried. He found that this had been the case. A letter afterwards from his teacher made no mention of clothes.
"If I perform such accurate determinative work with I-King, I may neglect my meditation," felt Kitano. So he gave up this marvelous teaching and never resorted to its powers again.

''People come to no understanding because priests teach only the doctrine of 'No
Mind.' What is called 'No Mind' is a mind that is pure and lacks complication .' This is interesting.
Lord Sanenori said, "In the midst of a single breath, where perversity cannot be held , is the Way. ''
