Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Distinction is Illusion That thought is a distinction is an illusion. Thought seems to have the quality of distinction, to embody trasition and change. The " sense " of distinction is not the *source* of illusion. The sense of distinction *is* illusion. Distinction is only a " seeming " . It is not real. There is not distinction anywhere. Never has been. This understanding is hard to grasp... for it cannot be grasped. This understanding *is*. And always has been. It is in the not-seeing that the seeing is seen. It is in the not-knowing that the knowing is known. It is in the not-being that being is. -Bill 9-10-03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
