L.E: How are you going to get out of, see through, or respond to, the illusion of the loaded gun that shoots a bullet through the illusion of your head? Talk? Self anaysis? Ego observation? Wouldn't it be better to duck and save the spiritual discourse for later? Of course if you duck and that is an illusion as well,and there is no difference between what you call an illusion and what ordinary less spiritual people call reality. What difference does it make what you call it if you duck or don't duck and take the illusionary bullet in the brain, Then you can have an illusionary funeral and be buried in an illusionary coffin and rot in the illusionary ground. Meanwhile, there's Joe, just walking along, whistling a tune and enjoying the sunny day, lost in his very pleasant illusion which he can't distinguish from what he call reality. Comments please?
