A-dvaita means not(a) divided(dvaited). That which is, is not

divided, although it sure as hell seems that way most of the time.

That's called maya. It's also called paradox, to which logic does not

apply.

 

In other words, al, you can't get here from there, computer or no

computer.

 

In other words, al, pack it in, give it up, take a break, enjoy the

mochachino, quit worrying, cause...... " you " ain't gonna get it anyhow.

I can divide myself into three me:s: (1) past me, (2) present me, and

(3) future me. And that's a miracle, because who is doing the

dividing? There must be a fourth (4) me!

 

Me 4 operates in the now because that's where change happens, and that

means me 4 and me 2 (the present me) are the same me. So the present

me is a divider! The present me cannot act in the future and cannot

act in the past. But the present me can divide myself into a future

me, and that futute me can act in the future!

 

Only the present me can worry. But the present me can only about the

future. So the present me is worried that the future me will mess it

up for the present me in the future. The present me can actually never

be in the future but it can pretend, and so it can worry in the

present moment about a future which it will never experience.
