Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 " To even one time mistake the moon for a finger is a million times more costly than visa versa. " Let's play pretend... (yeah right, as if we were doing something else.) Enlightenment is a finger pointing to the moon, and the MOON is a place. Now, I'll tell you where that place is, and if you can step ON that place, you'll be enlightened... otherwise, you'll just keep walking and walking and talking and talking, and mistaking the MOON for a finger. Are you ready to hear WHERE that place - Enlightenment - is? Ok, stand up - are you standing? It's right over there! Now, go stand precisely >>right over there<< and I guarantee you - money-back and all that - you'll be enlightened, THE enlightenment the mystics of old were referring to, when he (ok, they, his followers, and biographers) first pointed... over there...

No. For most people, not even on good days the mind/brain is good. Think of thinking as an internal frantic search; painful, violent even. Most people are identified with this sad and shoddy process - while it appears to be large and powerful, in reality it only emcompasses a small cemented fraction of reality.
