I think there comes a point when you get all the " answers " and have it all intellectually figured out, and you realize any more answers will do nothing for you -- and then you just got to sit and let it stew. I think there are many people like that here. In fact, the answers themselves are blocks IMO... because they really seem to represent some kind of truth, but in fact they do not at all - - they can only point to ways in which you can look, but always at this direct experience right now. In my experience, the verbal " truth " -formulations only distract me, because then I am in the realm of thought and concept... ignoring what is right in front of me.

After a hundred answers or only one, satiety, or futility is felt. And although things might look and feel different, one has to keep eating, aching, getting up to pee at night, and eventually dying. The future isn't what it used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
