Greetings Frank, Anand

the upanishadic idea of

in the Cabala as Ain

Soph; as in the Tao

that cannot be named; as

in the Zen no-mind;

as in the Toltec shaman

Nagual. their purpose

is strategic: to release

the ego-mind from its

pet attachents [to

philosophic notions].

 

Yes indeed, Frank. I think perhaps the

only difference between us is one of

emphasis. I am a rationalist and not a

mystic

so I persist in maintaining that Advaita

actually does make rational sense

(despite the protestations to contrary

of some

of its most illustrious exponents!)
