The great web of causality - Indra’s Net - presents us with the consequences of our actions and the actions of those who preceded us - giving us the unasked-for and unwanted gift of karma, the whetstone against which our hearts and our actions might be sharpened. An hour in the chair, drilling down, casts a new light on everything we do, why we do it, what it does to us, what it means to let it go, and what means we have to find release.
