Whose memory? If you can make your mind blank, who is going to make you blank? If you exist as Consciousness Itself are you only a memory in Consciousness that will fade away? Yes. I am failing to see what you are getting at. Are you failing to explain it clearly? Have you ever noticed how one water drop get sucked into or dissolved into another water drop. It's like that at the end of an individual life. Try it, it's beautiful. Or pour some hot water into cold water. It's also like that. Same thing. Two becomes one, yet as both are water, they are never actually two. Or only in form but not in essence. Larry Epston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
