P: I don't think so. I know that is what you believe, and if you need that belief, you can keep it until you are ready to let it go.

It's exactly because an eternal unbroken conscious existence would be intolerable that everything is impermanent, including consciousness, memory, knowing, and I amness. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
