i'm certainly not knocking the idea of 'process', since events can be

observed to happen 'in succession'

Popping in for a moment - this email arrived in the flow of "process"

-self-habit "I" makes contact with mind object/mental event - memory

occurring which actually happily maintains "I". Events are observed

with mind faculty called 'mindfulness"- if mindfulness can be

maintained, moment to moment, no clinging at point, no "I" (no

karma). With contact, feeling occurs, pulling a mental event to

'self'-pushing an event away or neutral. Mind can be trained to

watch itself as process. Life force flows on - relinquishment of

contact/clinging occurs, relinquishment of "I" and "mine". This in

Buddhism is called arising of 'path consciousness'-alas, can't be

willed. It arises near the end stages of the Vipassana stages of

insight or nanas. "Stages" are every experience of every phenomena,

an unfolding of insight. Cheer up! Aversion to arisings is quite

near the end stages and moving into more interesting bits. Yet,

Samsara and Nirvana are One/Truth/Wholeness, process and appearance

the expression of 'One'.

Couldn't resist. I do seva as a transcriber (enlightened selfishness)

and at the moment I'm working on Dependent Origination for Thai Achan.

Popping out again - J.

(although that requires the use of

memory) -- but is there some "end goal" to this "endless" appearance

of process?

Love,
