Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 You, I, and self are not That, which is. No thing, I can call mine, is It. Is neither Consciousness, Awareness, nor deep sleep. It's even above being, or being not. And yet it can fill consciousness in the same way sunlight fills a mirror transforming it into a blinding sun. Maybe light, and infinity give a sense of the feeling it brings, but not quite. No, it's not you, nor is it me, but we are not excluded, no thing is.

Kinda hard to describe what is when the categorizing mind falls silent. Not because it is such a wierd different *kind* of thing that is so hard to describe (such as the taste of garlic)... It fits no category because it is what is when categorization is not. > And yet it can fill consciousness > in the same way sunlight fills a mirror > transforming it into a blinding sun.

It does my heart good to see it. Bill PS: I've heard that you have Suchness on tap in your living room now, in fact in every room of your house and even in your vehicle (yes, play with the ambiguity there . Is it really true? How pleasant, how cozy, how sumptuously rich! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
