Living the contradictions is embracing the contradictions, is experiencing the contradictions, is knowing the contradictions in a way that is more than words can say. Zen is more than words can say. Tao is more than words can say Psyche/Intuition is more than words can say. We have to know what cannot be said, told, explained, defined. All those who know, know more than can be said, know what cannot be said.

And we become those when we step into the full realization of the awfulness, the atrocity, the abomination of how things are and do not turn away from that but also turn to the wonder, the beauty, the sublime nature of which also cannot be said.

These opposites do not cancel each other out but emphasize the contrary nature of the other, and we bear in our own bodies the knowledge of their opposition by honoring the pathos of their deeply undeniable truth.
To do this in a way that enables us to know what I am saying here IS TO KNOW ZEN!!! And Tao, Psyche, Intuition!!! So that we know in our body the truth of what we are saying, knowing that we cannot say what we know.
