Ok, I got the impression that you were angry at me. We often get angry or irritated when discussing things, but that I think is good in a way. When we become bored it is almost worse. Maybe one could use boredom as a practice of self-observation. /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps futilely. :-) The point being that as one doesn't move away from one's experience, as one doesn't detach into thought, as one is the experience of nausea, everything stops, evens out. " Guru-izing " was a term I made up, to refer to giving oneself sermons about the way things are, as if endless explanations and descriptions could avail oneself of truth. Not a term given in anger, but to say that all words come up against a brick wall, just as the self does, and then can only stop and dissolve. And yes, boredom, like nausea, is a great place to look into " what is. " The place where the " resistance " is, is the place to be aware. Trying to evade nausea, disgust, boredom by happy spiritual dialogue about the nature of truth, is evasion. -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dualistic mind, that is. The problem with the dualistic mind is this: it has two categories to wrestle with; (a) the known, and (b) the unknown. The known may not seem to be a problem, but in fact is _THE_ Problem. From the known the dualistic mind creates a future, and while the known contains the " bad " stuff and the " good " stuff, it is in reality " all gone bad " . The known can only be utilized in an imagined future! Oh, see this already! Since the known only can be of some use in an imagined future, _ALL_ knowledge - wether about what is good or what is bad - inevitably creates an automatic conflict between what is and ideas about the future (which is a redundant addition part of what is). If you saw my post about nondual logic, then you might be interested in the following addendum: AXIOM 4: Ideas about uncertainty are parts of what is. This means that uncertainty exists as ideas, not as actual possibilities of variation between what is and what is not. Nondual logic, taken to the heart, can cut through all nasty feelings about uncertainty like a laser sword cutting a man in two. /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 The dualistic mind, that is. The problem with the dualistic mind is this: it has two categories to wrestle with; (a) the known, and (b) the unknown. The known may not seem to be a problem, but in fact is _THE_ Problem. From the known the dualistic mind creates a future, and while the known contains the " bad " stuff and the " good " stuff, it is in reality " all gone bad " . The known can only be utilized in an imagined future! Oh, see this already! Since the known only can be of some use in an imagined future, _ALL_ knowledge - wether about what is good or what is bad - inevitably creates an automatic conflict between what is and ideas about the future (which is a redundant addition part of what is). If you saw my post about nondual logic, then you might be interested in the following addendum: AXIOM 4: Ideas about uncertainty are parts of what is. This means that uncertainty exists as ideas, not as actual possibilities of variation between what is and what is not. Nondual logic, taken to the heart, can cut through all nasty feelings about uncertainty like a laser sword cutting a man in two. /AL -------------------------- I can see why your heavily into the " killing thought " mode. You are perhaps a little unbalanced -- very much in your head at the moment thinking it all out. That's o.k. It's all a part of working itself out and eventually it will. It's all good. That's just the thing. best wishes ~G. ------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps you're looking at experimenting with both at the same time? That could be an interesting experiment. Please report back on your findings if that should be your choice of experimentation. Your honesty about yourself is refreshing to say the least. ~G. ------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The method of most non-dualists (see countless posts on this board) is to focus on the separate by insisting that they are not real. It engages in a " separate-creating process " by it's very act. There is not so much of an embracing but rather a pre-occupation of " pushing " ideas away that do not fit their concept of " non- dualism " . This is why it doesn't surprise me that your past statements in posts consisted of a need to reject and push away/non- acceptance. It's all fine, I mean all roads lead to your destination. There are many roads to lead to your goal. Non-dualism is one of the hardest roads simply because people hide behind cloaks of notions that almost make it impossible for them to question. How can you ever question something that " is not " . And so the merry-go-round goes round and round. It just sounds so fabulous and enlightened though. And so the banging of the head against the illusory wall continues. Same old wall, different name. If enlightenment is your goal it will eventually work for you though. Of that you can be certain regardless of what wall you use to bang your head against. But the hardest part of your quest may be to define what you mean by enlightened? Otherwise you may be searching for something that you already have. Or, you may not even recognize it once you reach it. ~G. ---- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" It " and " you " cannot exist together. One excludes the other........... You are simply never going to become enlightened. No one ever has. This is as close as you are ever going to be.

I'm only assuring him that he will get all the answers he needs or wants, but if he doesn't know what his questions are then he'll really be on a merry go round ride. However, Toombaru, if this is your enlightenment destination then whew!!!! I'm sure glad I've got the prozac at the ready because your definition of enlightenment is my definition of insane. ~G. --------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I have found acceptance a dubious occupation. Why spend energy going around accepting things? True acceptance must come effortlessly, from a state of knowing, I think. /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not mean to never become angry, or not to have different opinions of things, but rather a state of true clarity and peace, to really feel fearless (even when one is being afraid :-). To be able to be angry without any negative feeling. To have anxiety but not feel it as a burden. To have a body and mind that is light, almost as if defying gravity. /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
