"Finally, the mechanism that, hitherto, has held Total Work in motion is the seemingly endless drama called “work is a blessing vs. work is a curse.” After both sides of the duality have been deconstructed, then one is able to maintain one’s seat in the throne of equanimity.

Almost trivial. “After Enlightenment,” a famous Zen Buddhist saying goes, “chop wood, carry water.” No mystification, not a single drop of ether, remains."

And, incidentally, if you're interested in an experiential taste of what's written above, then please come to The Stoa tomorrow, where I'll be leading a dialogical meditation: https://pathwaystotao.substack.com/p/pathways-to-the-tao-1-dialogical.
This is a great closing.
