Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Dear Jody, Harsha, all -- Yes. You speak myself truthfully!

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Hi Harvey -- > I was surprised to hear your confirmation of Jody's dictum: "The love that only knows itself is who we are." Surprise is good! It comes with clarity that expectations are images, flickering, never providing a match with "what is!" >When I first came on that utterance on this list, I thought of your comments that the ultimate awareness is not aware of itself. I don't believe I said exactly that. But, let's not go backward, treating reality as the image in the rear-view mirror ... What occurs to me "now" to say about the point you raise is this: When there is something to be aware of as self, that image is construct, is "the past" ... *What is* isn't ever found as either the image which is "the past," nor the supposed image-maker, nor the supposed recognition, all of which occur as "the past." The love knowing only itself has no distance from itself. So, it's not an activity that occurs in a temporal way. It doesn't need or involve time or duration. Such love holds no "the past," so no image for any separable being which loves something other ... Love is just a conceptual image being used because we are using words, which are images ... These images don't arise apart from love. It's just love that reveals their insubstantiality ... >(I hope I am not mangling what you actually said.) Well, the concept of "ultimate awareness" is just another mental image that appears, departs. The idea of an idea about something ultimate is really quite humorous! > And assorted comments on > knowing implying a knower and known and therefore a duality. Am I misreading you, or is your word play so fluid that a million flowers can bloom in your garden? Fluidity and rigidity are complementary. But yes, love doesn't depend on structure, so often is metaphorically spoken of as light, as flow ... Blooming flowers are great, but maybe less so if there are allergies :-) Jody's statement expresses no knower separated from what is known, only love in which there is no beloved apart, nor lover apart. What is blooming in this garden? -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
