Another thing / Dan

Dan talks:

 

===========

 

I'm not debating Arvind.

 

I'm simply inviting you to look at the one who

holds the belief and why, rather than repeating

the belief over and over.

 

Why the need to believe there is something you have

that is always present, some IS that never changes?

 

What do you get out of that?

 

Obviously, you get security, you get permanence.

 

So, you could, instead of repeatedly saying, " I AM " -

look into the insecurity that wants to hold onto

something permanent and absolute as a means to

have something to count on.

 

And then, you might surprise yourself.

Dear Dan,

 

Please let me clarify Again.

 

There is a VAST difference between ... I am Arvind, I am Dan, I am

enlightened, I am Jnani, I am deluded and

 

---- I AM ---

 

.....

....

..

 

I am this, I am that is ...the identification. Sometimes called ego.

 

It requires maintenance. It requires thinking. It dies as soon

as ...think stops.

 

But,

 

--- I AM --- is known in its pure form for the first time, ONLY after

the thoughts have completely died.

 

After that, even if the image, memory and identification of ....I am

this, I am that gets created again for any purpose it is not confused

for anything other than ...a role, a function, an utility, a

temporary arrangement.

 

 

..

....

......

 

--- I AM --- requires No maintenance, ...NO Repeating, No thinking.

 

As I have mentioned a earlier, it is a `word`, a `symbol',

a `pointer' used to point to the one that EXISTS ...whether ...NOT

thinking or ...Thinking.

 

 

.....

....

..

 

I have explained it many time already in this thread but perhaps, it

is Not yet clear to you. To help you out with it, let me do an

Internet search and see if I can find something that might help you

understand it little better.

 

 

With warm regards and ...love,

ac.

Arvind, let me get this straight - you're gonna do an Internet search

to show Dan what YOU mean by " I AM " ?!

 

doesn't this strike you as a bit strange?
