Seriosity
Find a mind that becomes serious, attentive to the movement and developing this attention that becomes extreme and, at every moment, then an attention to attention. Every gesture becomes conscious, opens up, enlarges the space and frees itself to move towards another event. A precise training of every moment, every thought, every word, every gesture, every step, every breath.

"So pay attention to your body. That will develop the Primordial Intelligence which is integrated to each one of your cells and your Consciousness can mature.
Without that, it will only be one more intellectual game... a new manner to masturbate more intimately... but your testicles, that you can besides put in feminine, will be in a grandiose delight which will make you believe that you are in a liberating spiritual Way.
Pay a great attention to that. It is essentiel so that the energy is freed from the cells of your body and is channelled in order to make your spirit « serious »...
...very naturally and without effort to cease being this playful monkey which runs after its dreams of kid." ECC 0

"For all those who remain in a general philosophy of life and global behaviors and who believe that these behaviors are sufficient practices, I can say, you are wasting your precious life time. Without serious and organized efforts to stop with a dominant movement that pushes you into a spiral, you will be absorbed by the whirlwind, on the one hand, and on the other hand, you will never be physically able to go up the current to stop with its origin. Impossible ! I’ve often said that the Direct Way is to go back in Time. Not possible without special gasoline. The intention isn’t enough. And this gasoline, it has to be made. A job, an effort, a seriousness. Here is what I can say to them in the first place and I remind you of a piece of advice that I have always repeated : if you are at the crossroads of two paths, one easy, the other difficult, always take the most difficult. Why ? The easy depletes your Fundamental Energy poorer, the difficult tones it. This is already a very heavy stone on all life systems advocating ease, non-effort, non-pressure, spontaneous pleasure, and the accumulation of all sensations, the right to happiness, without regard for their origins and destinations... I’ll let you continue with the list."

"For the CN, it is seriosity and no self-will…
for the NG, enjoyment and individuality."

"He took a long time to discover it. Years of suffering and interrogation to know that there is a right position. Only one.
“It is the one of the Religious Spirit”, my friend, told him the ROSHI when he spoke the evening in summer on the bench of the veranda of the pavilion of the Master.
He did not understand. Then the Master said to him that the religious spirit is only the ordinary spirit which becomes serious.
But that he did not understand it either. It has taken time, much of time.
And he has a grudge against him when he has understood.
Because he has then seen that what prevented the ordinary spirit from being serious, it was quite simply the pleasure of doing evil… And to do evil to oneself !
Then he knew that he was the only and single person in charge of his isolation".
