Dear Harsha, The possibility of being outside of Reality to speak of "It", and the prior necessity of an assumption to so speak, cannot even exist, for how can anything be outside of Reality. The assumption of being outside Reality, and describing it, is an illusion of self-perception. Any attempt to place anything outside of Reality -is unrealistic, including such attempts. There is no limitation of words per se, but only of their limited interpretation -this resulting from the illusion of self-perception. >That is why anything can be said. Yes, anything can be said...and yet be seen as Truth. A dot "." printed on a piece of paper not only 'speaks' as itself, but of the boundless ALL beyond...the explicit and the implicit. But the lure of reading and writing words sequentially -seeing, generally- very subtly alters the self's perceptual focus and mentation, causing the integral self/Self potential to cling to the finite aspect. Thus, the illusion of self within Self, roughly speaking. Namaste, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2001 Report Share Posted September 17, 2001 Ed, of course you are absolutely right… It is indeed possible to speak and write - communicate - without having to resort to the assumption of an ‘outside’, that is why it is called communicate. When we live in wonder, (Merriam Webster: a : rapt attention or astonishment at something awesomely mysterious or new to one's experience b : a feeling of doubt or uncertainty 10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial">admiration) - ‘wonder’ as in a not bold"> b - we participate in this miracle of directness and immediacy… We only have to ‘wonder’ again, and we do that when we stop ‘wondering why’… that habitual questioning… In my practice I help my clients to stop asking… Asking questions is an obsessive compulsive disorder… that has lead to the “reality of separation“ which is not a reality at all, but an illusion that is treated as though it is more real than reality. Yep, I say this with certainty… Love, Wim Arial;font-weight:bold"> The possibility of being outside of Reality to speak of "It", and the prior necessity of windowtext"> an assumption to so speak, cannot even exist, for how can anything be outside of Reality.
