Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Sensation (the ability to be aware of stimuli) is a two way street. It discloses both other and self. The hand that touches, reveals, not only, itself but the touch, the pleasure, and that which feels. Normally, we have an outward focus, and sensation becomes a one way street, an arrow pointing to the world. It's when we let sensation lead us inward that we begin to recognize the infinity within. When we begin to dwell in the naked sense of being, we come to apprehend a knowing beyond words, and in this knowing, we get a glimpse of not knowing. An impenetrable darkness revealed only by the end, the lack of all knowing. Mysteriously, we come to sense that lack of all knowledge as our true nature. That this infinite not knowing has been reflected in knowledge somehow satiates our hunger for knowing. A great incomprehensible peace descends on us. Even the certainty that even this knowledge of the unknowable will vanish with death cease to disturb us. Go figure out! Pete Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 Yes, thus touch as conventionally assessed never occurs, as there are never two surfaces that can meet. If self as sensor, and object as sensed are as imaginary as any two interactive surfaces, then sensation is the fluctuating energy of unbounded dimensionless space. It is given dimensions, and a beginning and end, only when a self and other are assumed to have been disclosed.
