Wu Hsin


Influences
Roy Melvyn


Wu Hsin is a pseudonym of Roy Melvyn. Although Melvyn presents himself as the "translator" of the supposedly lost writings of Wu Hsin, the character is in reality entirely fictional.

According to his biography, Wu Hsin was a Chinese sage who lived about one hundred years after Confucius, some time between 403 and 221 BCE. His name translates to "no mind", alluding to an important concept of non-duality in Daoism as well as Zen Buddhism.

Quotes by Wu Hsin  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Beliefs are the unquestioned acceptance of an idea in the absence of verification and reason.   Beliefs are not facts; beliefs are the escape from facts. Beliefs are the food of a make-believe world.   Permanent clarity is available to you, but not if you want to cling to your beliefs.   If you insist on believing, believe this:   I am Conscious Life Energy. Because I am, all is. I am vibrant intelligence, by which flowers grow and wounds heal. In my absence, existence as it is known, ceases. The world is my manifest expression and this body is its instrument of perception and action. In this regard, I am the Knowing of every sensation, feeling and thought. I am the Author of every action.”
wu hsin, Solving Yourself: Yuben de Wu Hsin

“One can only know what occurs within the mind, which is the instrument or tool of conscious experience.   There is no such thing as "out there".   There is only our perception as inbound data. Everything is registered, just as it is. It is only via the mind that a selective representation of the data is created.   Thoughts are objects in the mind as things are objects in the world. The mind and the world are two separate dimensions, overlapping during the waking state. When you can so readily create a world when you dream, why do you believe the impossibility of your creating another world when you are awake?”
Yuben de wu hsin

“The mind is the process through which expression comes. The thought "I am" is the expression of being conscious.   It is the bridge from the relative to the Absolute. It is the aperture through which the Absolute perceives its expressions.   But you are neither the field nor its contents.   You are That Light by which light is perceived.   You are That which provides the blank canvas onto which the paint is applied. You provide the space which supports all objects while itself being ignored.   You are the seeing, the hearing, the perceiving, the knowing, and the doing of all that is seen, heard, perceived, known and done.   Like the wind, That that you are is known only by its effects.”
