Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 Hi Alton, Hope I'm not on your filter, still having troubles accepting your viewpoint but I think I agree here perfecty with yourself. You wrote I am the first one to admit that I am phisophically challenged, but if anyone can give me a better understanding it would be welcomed. Is Ramana only saying that all of mindville are concepts and therefore just imaginary? Does that not include the concept of the SELF? Yes I am your imagination. Opened the link I sent you about 2 or 3 times and understood. I am your imagination. Don't we have to differentiate here between a brick wall and a blue sky to function? Yes we differentiate. You can imagine yourself as beeing a little cristal, (size doesn't matter) since you ARE the cristal, saidly enough you miss out on all the colors of your beautiful rainbow but get to see only the kind of like "center" of it, which is, not really there, since we live in eternety, again saidly enough I see all black. Sparkling sparkling sparkling ... Well yes, I'm sorry to tell you but that's all you can see of myself, it's just me, was never there forever? Erich Thanks in advance, Love Alton orig message Message: 11 Fri, 15 Jun 2001 15:31:06 -0000 Question: Are the past and future mere imagination? Ramana Maharshi: Yes, even the present is mere imagination, for the sense of time is purely mental. Space is similarly mental. Therefore birth and rebirth, which take place in time and space, cannot be other than imagination. _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
