But what Arvind is describing is very familiar. It is so vivid, so astonishing, yet: * nothing really mattering at all * feeling to communicate about it but *no clue* how to do so It is just perpetual astonishment. One thing is absolutely clear... if you haven't experienced it yourself there is *NO WAY* to imagine it. And it isn't actually an experience... one does not feel that " I am experiencing this " . For example, one goes into a store, makes some purchases, comes back out. There is not a sense of one having an experience of such-and-such a kind when in the store. Experience is no longer " broken up " ... there is no longer " this experience " and " that experience " . All experience is an unbroken whole.

Yes, very much so. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
