Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 T: Within the dream......there is only dream food. toombaru P: Would you concede that within the dream, there are also nightmares? And is not wise, to turn nightmares into peaceful dreams? When all is categorized as dream, what is the meaning of awakening? You are listed as a sage by Eric in 'the caterpillar' list. You seem to agree with this characterization, since you provided a pic, and a tale of how clouds awoke you. What do you think Eric meant when he listed most of his posters, and himself as sages? a) Just another poster here, who I want to flatter so he/she keeps posting. A clever trick that seems not to be working since most of those listed are not posting. b) A wise old person. c) One who has realized the Absolute. The word derives from the Latin word 'sapere' = to taste, or to know. Also from the Saxon word 'ausebbian' = to perceive. So, what dream food you tasted which entitles you ( in your opinion) to be called a sage? Clouds? " As clouds illusions I recall, I really don't know clouds.... at all.
