In Channel One, all is perfect, unity, One. In Channel Two, we seek to control our negative thoughts, emotions and feelings. As an example of the two channels, the classic Zen Ox-herding pictures. begin with chasing the bull (ox) which from a Channel Two perspective can represent out of control thoughts and feelings, what Buddhists call “dust on the mirror” which the person is trying to change. The final picture is empty, signifying in Channel Two, that the bull has been corralled, the mirror polished of dust. No bull! Some interpret this final empty picture from a Channel One perspective, no negative emotions, no bull, no mirror, no self, all part of the cosmic Isness.. Total acceptance, because all is perfect.
