Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Hi Tony -- Namaste! Yes - how long is a lifetime when it is past? How long are all lifetimes when they are all past? How long is the past when there is "only 'this now'"? And what is "this now" when there is nothing else? When there is nothing else, what dreams or non-dreams are there to speak of? Shalom, Dan Namaste Dan et al, All is Nirguna Brahman, everything else is but a dream. I was actually referring to some of the exchanges recently, especially from dwellers on the K List. It was all about comparing apples and oranges, which is usually where most spiritual differences lie, somewhere between advaita and dvaita, with an admixture of visishtadvaita. With regard to time, it is as real as the passing of several lifetimes in a dream. Like Indra living as a pig!

Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self. Welcome all to a. To from this list, go to the ONElist web site, at www., and select the User Center link from the menu bar on the left.
