Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Hi Ss -- > Let me attempt to sum up what you have offered in a pity manner. I'm not asking for your pity. Just kiddin', know you meant " pithy. " > We are all " it " and nothing that we do or don't do can change that. Sure, except there's not an " it " for us to be. And that's how language reaches a limit, just as you suggested earlier. Breaking through beyond thought, idea, language, sensation *is* truth -- truth not being an it, nor a something, so certainly not " divisionable " -- So, saying " I am this " is to say " there is no division possible 'here' > A breakthrough happens and we then know we are " it " not only > intellectually like most seekers do, but on some > non-phenomenal level. The breakthrough is this " now " as is -- it is simply that avoidance tactics are now dropped. > If I stated it in an acceptable manner then my question is why " Dan' > or some other " It " soul and not Swami Spam aka Alton? The separable soul is only the tactics of avoidance. Drop the attempt to avoid, to have an existence of one's own, and only truth is, as has never not been the case. > Am I inferior > or does God love Dan more than SS? Feelings, reactions, thoughts, sensations involving dualities of separation, such as inferiority/superiority, are what constitutes " the self. " The " I " is the construction around handling dualities in service of a self-being. Not just superiority/inferiority, but weakness, strength, having/losing, etc. " You can't serve two masters, " said the J-man. You can't invest in maintaining the self-center and be the truth that is. The attempt to maintain self, being the investment, being what self is. An attempt to maintain a constructed center. > Hey if a breakthrough happens > then that person knows something that ss does not, right? Not exactly. The " person " is what is broken through. The *knowing* is the timeless divisionless truth that has never not been, never could be divided or separated. > I think after this the dialogue round may be completed on this issue > after you reply. Who knows? > Thanks for the interesting exchange. Yes, thank you as well. > Om Shanti, Peace to you, too, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
