Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 My realization, if it can be called so, was to realize my life was a quest, a constant search, not for God, or Self, but for entertainment. Reading, writing, talking, meditating about God or Self were high-minded forms of entertainment. Seeking God, or Self is the pretense of searching for what you are fleeing from, because your true Self is the nothingness you are fleeing from, the nothingness you can't abide. So this realization, is not a rejection of entertainment, but an acceptance of nothingness as not a thing to fear. Now, nothingness is my easy chair, the place of rest. Of course, as long as we're alive we must move. Sitting all day long is no good. Entertainment is all right, as long as it's not an escape. And this, was written mainly to entertain.

All spoken from within the delusional assumptions of separate self...separation of cause and effect...volitional action and sequential time.

The funny thing is that when one truly stops fleeing emptiness, One feels absolutely wonderfully full. Emptiness is very filling.
