There are some interesting ideas about awareness but you end up with a negation, what looking within is not. I'm saying that looking within doesn't exist and is just a manner of speaking, a verbal structure that has no reality in it. In the sense of " I AM ALL " there is no inside or outside, without or within. But perhaps this is too much to handle at this time.

Larry Epston I understand what you're saying, Larry, but I can't rationally describe to you a process that isn't rational. I can't give you my thoughts about something that has nothing to do with thoughts. Do you believe in intuition or precognition or anything like that? If so, how would you describe such things or prove that they exist? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
