Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 Yes, it's true. All the expounding of concepts can be viewed as preparation for the loss of self and world -- by encouraging flexibility of view, and openness. Yet, the dropping away of all conceptuality can't be prepared for. It's not the effect of a cause, thus not the result of a preparation. The dropping away of conceptuality therefore isn't an occurrence, an event, or an experience. It can be said what it is not, but can't be said what it is. Even saying what it is not, has the limitation of relating " this " to " not " ... As there is no " not " to " this, " calling this the dropping away of conceptuality, is itself conceptuality. What is beyond words and measure, is beyond words and measure.
