Guest guest Posted July 8, 1999 Report Share Posted July 8, 1999 I've had the NOMAIL option set for a year or so. Are Greg Goode and Ram Chandran still here? Thought for today is " because subjects and objects can only be defined reciprocally in relation to each other they will both cease to exist if they can't be clearly distinguished from each other ". Anyone who tries to delineate exactly where their self begins and ends in relation to what is not their self will realize the border was always only assumed. When an exact separation can't be established between them they merge cancelling each other out. Ever read this exact argument before? If so I'd like to know where. thanks... my warmest regards to all ... -A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three writers I like who treat this subject. Atmananda of Tivandrum collapses the subject/object duality from the outside in, by showing how there can't be any objects. Wei Wu Wei collapses the duality from the inside out, by showing how there can't be any subject. Nagarjuna, in his Treatise on the Middle Way, attacks it from both ends. Let me know if you'd like biblio info on these. Regards, --Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 1999 Report Share Posted July 9, 1999 Thanks for the replies from Greg and Frank. BTW Frank, is your book published yet? I think you were going to call it "Automatic Freedom" ? -A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
