One is one is one, is nothing at all ...

[Guest guest]

>>>Am I missing something simple here? At first I read the quote above

to say:

 

As A = B

So B = A

 

Where B here is the word " One " .

 

It occured to me that the first " one " I take to mean

singleness or

whole, and the second " one " I take to mean self or

individual.

 

I guess it suggests that ultimately, the self

(individual) = the Self

(whole). Expressed this way, it seems like pretty basic

Advaita.

 

I guess I'm still having trouble with what, in my concept

at least,

are two different meanings of the word " one " .

 

-- John

 

" One " doesn't have a meaning.

If it did, it wouldn't be " One " , but

would just be one particular meaning

and not other meanings.

 

So " One " is every possible meaning,

and no meaning at all.

" One " is every possible happening,

and nothing happening at all.

 

You, I, and that over there are " One " .

And, nothing is " One " .

 

" One " is One is One, and

" One " is nothing at all.

 

So, this computer I'm typing on is a computer,

is One, is nothing -- and is a computer.

 

Trying to figure this out makes two, the one

figuring it out, and the One being figured

out.

 

Only when One is One is One is there

nothing to figure out, and no one else

there to figure something out.

 

This " One " isn't new knowledge that is

gained. It is before time, not acquired,

only the " one " you are, and the

nothing that is all that is.

 

Namaste,

Dan
