Moral nature (n.) is like a duck's legs or a crane's: what is long in it cannot be cut off, nor what is short be stretched, without pain.
The Old Adam (n.) is the unredeemed sinful man Paul tells us to put off; an author equating him with the Primordial Man contaminates two opposites, a slip that, as in a dream, marks where contrary tendencies cross.
The Old Adam (n.) is what walks into a second marriage and bungles it like the first; external solutions to inner conflicts are no solutions, and a real one comes only from within, from a changed attitude.
Suchness (n.) means this: if you understand, things are as they are; if you do not understand, things are as they are.
Suchness (n.) is void because it teases the mind out of thought and leaves definition dumbfounded — yet it is not literal nothingness.
Suchness (n.) neither becomes nor ceases to become, stands at no place, and is neither past, future nor present.
Suchness (n.) has its root in "tat," "that," perhaps a baby's first word: fathers hear "Dada," but perhaps the child is simply recognizing the world and saying "That!"
Svabhava (n.) means "own-being" — exactly what forms lack: they exist only in relation to one another, as a solid is known only against a space.
