Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 R: your post will only have meaning to those who view themselves to be people. to them you have said something.. to the rest, nothing. P: Exactly. I write for people to read, people who seek. Those who do not seek, do not need meaning. Do you have desires? Nisargadatta , Pete S <pedsie4@e...> wrote: > > There is nothing to gain.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Is there the assumption that there are some here who view themselves as people and some who don't? There seem to be some who pretend not to, but this isn't the same, is it?
