Uh, duh, is the coffee ready yet? What a dream I was having. I was

the Atman and the jiva at the same time! Holy shit. I wish you had

let me sleep a little while longer. Now what?

 

Oh, the knot and the doorknob thing. Lessee.

 

" A knot is not an object. " Yeah, OK.

 

" A doorknob is not an object. " OK, not bad.

 

" Happiness is neither and object nor a subject. " That's good. So?

 

I'm awake now, but I STILL don't get how you can reach that which is

neither subject nor object, i.e., that which has no apparent or real,

existence. Isn't that sort of like reaching for air and expecting to

find something in your hand? Just asking.

Editor's note: And yet,

 

Caminos:

" Happiness is neither an object neither nor a subject. "

 

Atman/jiva Gary:

 

Forget about Happiness. It's completely unattainable, just

like " enlightenment. "

 

In fact, forget about your self completely and you will be

enlightened by Dogenzenji's Ten Thousand Things.

 

Shhhhh! Here it is:

 

" A snowy heron in the snowfield

Where winter grass is unseen

Hides itself in its own figure. " (Dogen)
