Hi El,

 

....from which of the " you's " perspective ?

Is there more than one 'you' ?

Can the apparent or relative 'you' be responsible

for anything ?

...and who is this other 'you' that can be responsible

for everything ?

 

:)

This is really funny. I remember there was this guy from Texas I

used to work with at the ashram. I would say...

 

nice day today...

 

and he would say... why thank you!

 

I thought it was pretty funny... but got old after a while. He took

credit for everything in the universe.... really annoying...

Paul, It seems your friend at the

Ashram was " playing God " .

 

In the Krishna story,

Krishna was also " playing God " .

 

But can you see the difference?

Hi Dave,

 

Just as there is no stand alone item, there is no who, no nouns.

Only being behaviour - verbs. All is behaviour-motion, 'a who'

cannot be isolated from it.

Sorry to 'butt in', but that does sound weird. Sounds almost like a

sort of psychosis, actually. " God-complex? "

 

No offense (just joking), but ask him to strike you down and then

bring you back to life <laugh>.

 

Cheers,

 

Tim
