Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 It seems that the stateless state is the original state, before we were born. So unaware of itself. Then, as beingness emerges, it is the child consciousness. Then later, if lucky, it becomes reflected in consciousness as nothingness. Or something like that. Anyway, what I'm getting it is that since we are always in the stateless state, and it is there all the time, if one will only see it, that means it is available to all, at all times, without any precepts or prerequirements. Thus, it appears to me that being " good " or having " love " or any kind or beneficial quality has nothing to do with this state. You could anything. Is it possible that one could be a rapist, a mafia boss or Charles Manson, or some other equally anti-social being? I often wonder about Syd Barret, who died recently, from Pink Floyd. He was perhaps the most famous pop recluse. The story goes that he was an unusual youth, in that he always had the ability to hear colours and see sounds. Later, he took lots of LSD and fell out of his mind. He was changed forever, radically. But as his group later wrote in their Album " Wish you were here " ...he reached for the secret too soon. So, at that very young and immature age, he suddenly came to know what he knows. And his life that followed is an example of that. So, this stateless state sounds like it's not socially desirable unless one first learns to live as a good, socially adjusted person. I think even Niz said once to someone that you can't leave a mess on one level before you move on from it. What do you have to say about that?
