There's only one urgent question, it's a matter of life and death, the question of what's keeping this loop of my experience, my reality, going? Loop aka " karma " -- what keeps a so-called " personal reality " going. Even on these nondual lists, so few are really looking into it with the urgency and sincerity it deserves. Stock answers seem to be enough -- there is no one to look into it, just accept it - it will die out on its own, and so on. Although there's no one there, the attempt to be a someone there having experiences and knowledge indeed effects reality -- not by making it yours, but by distorting perception and relationship in an ongoing way, called " 'karma' going 'round and coming 'round. " So, the attempt is quite worthwhile to address -- not avoid. It is having repercussions in/as " awareness mistaking itself as an identity. " Bob Dylan had it right: the hour is getting late. -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of these " problems " -- pure imagination. Yet the suffering is real. Joe PS: I remember that time I wrote: I want to wake up from the story of my life. You asked a great question: Then where will you be? It was/is a good koan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
