Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 OK, so I missed your point El. But rereading your post...yes... Good point! All these individual body-minds trying to be free of anxiety...not even realizing it is their very existence that is the poison. Like ghosts lost in hells of endless torment. Until...the root idea, that holds it all together... is seen as false -Bill el_wells_2003 [elizabethwells8] Thursday, July 24, 2003 8:28 AM Nisargadatta Re: question What if it is not possible for an idea, that has taken shape as an individual body-mind separate from the all, ever to be free from anxiety? El --------------- I would say the idea that it is not possible may be the problem. Further, if I understand this belief system, ideas are supposedly irrelevant. Patricia --------------- Put another way, ----there are no real ideas, starting with the first idea, (knowing)I am, from which all other ideas grow and take shape.---- El --------------- What if what " shawn " is experiencing now has always been there, just beneath the surface of consciousness, and is just now starting to bubble up to the surface? What an opportunity! El ---------------- It appears to me you may have some 'idea' about what shawn is experiencing. Patricia ---------------- Only a memory of my own experience when the rubber first started meeting the road. Which is why I said, " What if " . El ---------------- I don't. I was merely interpreting his response to my question.
