Is that the question? To be = not to be. Not to be = to be. " Meness " in that " thing " sense of it fully maintained as something or nothing, existing or nonexisting. The ultimate equation for the infinite never ending of circle of concern or fixation with existence and nonexistence of this or that. Can you ever step out of it? Lewis P: Stepping out is not the problem. Coming to terms with its vacuousness, accepting its perishability is the end of existential anxiety.

Laura i do atma vichara. the " I " of the ego/body/mind is made up of thought, a temporary manifestation of the body. it is that which is aware of the body/mind which is beyond the " I " of the body/mind. it has no dimensions. it is timeless, infinite, etc. i get occasional glimpses of it. all that is manifest is like a dream. only this timeless, spaceless being/awareness remains. om namo bhagavate sri ramanaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
