Enlightenment in a Nutshell

Hi Judi --

 

I agreed with you up until this:

There's no doer.

 

But awareness is a doing.

 

It is a doing that occurs with an object

which is an aspect of the same doing.

The " who " isn't a doer, it's " this. "

The " who " isn't something being done.

The " who " isn't something that is.

 

" This " isn't awareness - since awareness

is something which we cognize, which we

say allows an object to appear.

Hiya Judi,

 

What's happening over at the ranchy

these days ?

Just barged in and noticed you're pretty

active on this list.

Have the horses abandoned ship or what ?

...and your darling Da what's with him lately ?

 

...anyway might be interesting, so tell us 'bout

this " absolute peace " or " awareness " that

you seem to know.

...and are there two categories of peace ?
