Of course, that's my fantasy, perhaps if I met an > enlightened one I'd see him as full of deficiencies and boring as well. You are face to face with the so-called " enlightened one " this moment. Moving one physical body to closer proximity with another physical body will not make anything more clear, nor make truth any closer. The question therefore is, " how am I, through my intention, giving myself the impression of distance between self and 'all that is, as is' " ? The one which is the so-called " enlightened one " isn't a numerical one, and has no qualities. Therefore " enlightenment " doesn't apply, except as a category in the mind of a human being. Nonseparation isn't a quality, but includes all apparent qualities, isn't an experience, but includes all apparent experiences. So, this experience, here now, is 'this' -- how is the separated self coming into apparent being, in a here/now which has no actual separation? That would seem to be the question. To me, the resolution of that question pertains to how the sense of existing objects is contructed, a self in relation to objects, and the sense of qualities with locations in selves or objects. -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
