Joyce-life lifetimes, whose lifetimes, no lifetimes

[Guest guest]

Dear Joyce,

 

i've never much valued agreement or disagreement. To some it seems

very important -- seen here, it simply encourages what's been

called "vain argumentation."

 

It's often "pleasant" to see agreement on the level of the mind...

and "unpleasant" to see disagreement. Going beyond that endless

cycle of clinging to the pleasant and "pushing away" the unpleasant

means simply observing it closely and watching how it operates,

without allowing oneself to get submerged in it.

 

Eventually, the entire mechanism (or "how it works") becomes clear.

That's the value in the Jnana approach (viveka - 'discrimination' and

vairagya - 'unattachment').

 

Namaste,

 

Tim

Thank you for telling me this.

Un attaching from unattachment is

good too. Joyce
