Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003  That is great! Most excellent. Here's my favorite line: << L: No, not because it's me. That's just a thought I seldom think. I have no idea whatI am so saying everything is ‘I' has no meaning. Seeing feels me with delight for no reason.Like hearing a speeding car fills me with joy for no reason.>> .... "for no reason"... that's the key isn't it...? being "out of your mind" .... -Bill PS: I'm envisioning a book by you of stuff like this called, "Out of My Mind". A title you could roam freely in. I thinjk it suits you admirably... : ) PPS: I too am a worshiper of the Moon Goddess Pedsie2 [Pedsie2]Tuesday, August 26, 2003 4:39 PMAdvaitaToZen Cc: nisargadatta Subject: Interview with a Lunatic Reporter: I understand that you admit that you're mad.
