Guest guest Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 jodyrrr [jodyrrr] An 'abiding presence' is nothing more than a pose. The Self is beyond caring and not caring, but the apparent individual is never beyond these. No matter how much 'abiding' we are doing, we will always be called by life to be human. *************************************************** Beautifully put Jody. It is no one's fault in using such terms like "abiding presence" and all. These seem to have become part of the nondual lingo. To be authentic and natural is simply to be yourself. Physically, mentally, emotionally, etc. There is no point in carrying the additional burden of "abiding presence" or enlightenment, etc. I will pass this on to as well. If wisdom was inconsistent with being human, it would not be true wisdom. The Truth of the Self is both obvious and subtle. It's subtlety lies in its being so obvious that it is overlooked. It is deep, but its depth is not separate from the surface. Love to all Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
