Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 >>How does awakening impacts normal living and responsibilities? Same way that 'waking up' impacts a... dream! >>But, waking up ends the dream. Do you then, mean that awakening ends 'living' and responsibilities? Your 'waking up' ends " your " dream! But, it ends it only for the time that you 'stay awake'! You are free to fall back to sleep and 'dream' again! >>Do you mean to say that awakening is durational? No... but, your 'dreams' are... 'durational'! You are free to 'identify' with the dream and you are free to wake up 'out of the dream'! >>Then, you mean to say that awakening doesn't change anything? Awakening ends your sleep but, it doesn't take away your 'capacity' and 'freedom' to sleep and dream Again! However, once you have woken up, you may not 'believe' in your dreams to the same degree as before! Once you have woken up, even when you 'sleep' and 'dream'... you may no longer 'identify' with it to the same degree as before! Even your dream, you might be Aware of it being... just " your " dream! >>Do you mean to say that there is no awakened living? 'Your' 'living' ...is... 'your' Dream! .... >>How about the reality of my being? How about who am I? There is no " you " ...unless... you dream! .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Form and non-form ARE intimately related and exist in full contact. There is no disconnect between the empty and the full. They are inversions of each other. Totally connected and One.
