100 years ago I was, as I am today. I was nowhere, as I am today.

The sound of one hand clapping I have no answer for.

Where I was 100 years ago can be answered with a kind

of nondual logic.

The sound of one hand clapping is meant to not be

answerable with meaning, including nondual logic.

One inference: even the most clear nondual logic

has a limit. On the other hand, even the most

profound nonanswerable koan has a limit. ;-)

A arises with B,

as B arises with A.

Therefore, A is not-A,

as B is not-B.

A arises because of B.

Therefore, B causes A.

A is not B.

B is not A.

as B arises with A.

Therefore, A is not-A,

as B is not-B.

Because A is greater than A as it is also B?
