dear dansan....

who is the real DB?....would he please step out from behind the

endlessly tedious verbal discriminations of 'neti, neti'....i long to

hear your heart sing DanSan....for me, the way of spiritual denial

unfolds into affirmation....for me, the way of philosophical denial

collapses nihilism enfolding nihilism into absurdity....i hear in

your words a cry of one lost in a wilderness of mental constructs

mirroring one another...i hear a heart filled with the longing of

unrequited love awaiting to arise into love, endless love...beyond

worship and not worship is love....love is an integral embrace of all

that is....it is not a systematic denial of all creation....nothing

created something to arise into something more glorious...."Lazarus,

come forth.".....the ego must be destroyed so that higher

consciousness can arise....the 'forbidden fruit' of higher

consciousness is compassion, i.e., suffering as a bodhisattva suffers

as the son of man suffered on the cross of golgotha.....DanSan...seek

the face of the beloved!.....^^~~~~~

Re: Andrew / Re: Worship

Hi Andrew --

Or, worship can happen afterrecognition that I as I thinkmyself to be

is a 'projection',a creature of reality.D: There is no place for a

projection to exist, there is no creature of reality.

It can be a process of becoming.Jesus repeatedly spoke of himselfas

the "son of (the) man".D: Son of Adam - quite possibly a Qabalistic

statement.referring to the Aleph (A= 1= infinity) in the blood

("dam") ...Also likely refers to Adam Qadmon, or human being "as

infinity" ...Jesus could well be saying that he is the archetypal

human being, represented in individualized form -- that he includes

all human being simultaneously ...

Perhaps he meantthat he, or you or me as identifiedis not the real

human being, but acreature of the real.D: Identified as unreality,

there is no real creature, only the thought of being a creature ---

It could be that all of us worshipsomething, whether we know it or

not.D: Only if we believe there is a real "other" with whom we are

dealing.No "other" in reality -- nothing to be worshipped, and no

one apart to do the worshipping.Empty

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.
