Love, Wim/join All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. 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.

Luff, Joyce Hi Joyce! By the time I've positioned myself to answer such questions, Ive already "lost" the answer. Prior to such questions arising in such a way that they seem to have merit, I always already *am* the answer. How funny that we position ourselves to answer questions that can defeat us, simply because we've positioned ourselves to ponder them! Yet, this is what we've made of life -- a positioning of "self" so as to encounter "other" ... and to try to generate a response to "other" ...

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 Dear Joyce, Joyce asked:> What is there worth being? What is there worth having? What is there worth gaining?> Luff, Wim wrote: > Hee, hee, hee, Joyce , "For whatever it's worth....: Luff!" > That was too simple, Joyce, you gave it away. Joyce:> GONG! Hee, hee, hee, try again. Wim: > So would the following qualify for your fridge door? <........>Joice: > Surely You gave it away again Joyce, hee hee hee The answer to your question is: "Worth being on your fridge." ------------------------- To be on the serious side: Essentially: The question is always the reversal of the answer. The solution is always that what is hidden by the problem. Questions, problems, riddles are clever mirroring tricks. Just check the riddles from the movie "Life is beautiful." A mirror trick: "When you see yourself in the mirror break it!" Useless questions needs no response, so many times Ramana did not respond. Plato's logo, "Gnoti seouton" is not "Who am I?". His logo is usually translated as "Know thyself", which started to mean "Find out who you are." The first thing we trick new born children with is questions... "Hello!?" tickle, tickle, "How are you?" "Who are you then?" "Can you give me a big smile?" "What's your name?" Of course the child's wonder turns into questions. Questioning a new born is as bad as holding that child upside down after birth and giving it a good smacking on the bum to get it to start breathing... Don't call a child into question! In the face of self evidence there is no question! Love, Wim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 By the time I've positioned myself to answer such questions, Ive already "lost" the answer. Laugh! Yes, hard to walk softly and carry big stick in cyberspace. Or any other space. Give me a slow-motion smack any time. Prior to such questions arising in such a way that they seem to have merit, I always already *am* the answer. O yes? How funny that we position ourselves to answer questions that can defeat us, simply because we've positioned ourselves to ponder them! Toilet paper Dukkha, All positions shitty. Except for the witty. Yet, this is what we've made of life -- a positioning of "self" so as to encounter "other" ... and to try to generate a response to "other" ... 'Tis a slippery slope on the side of the mountain sliding down to the top. Leaping off that fear that you'll drop. Luff, Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
