Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 If you have eyes then the earth, the sky, and the stars will exist, and you will be able to see them. When the eyes die there will be no earth, no sky, no stars, and no world, that doesn't mean they are gone, you are just no longer able to see them. When the mind finally dies you realize that there is no distribution and no everywhere. This realisation is an idea in the dead mind, when the mind dies, there will be no earth, no sky, no everywhere, that doesn't mean they are not here, with a dead mind you are just not able to perceive them. Seeing everything as the Self gives the impression that the Self is equally deluded and disturbed everywhere. That is the right impression of the Self, for the nature of the Self is not to be peaceful and dead, the nature of the Self is to be deluded and disturbed. Lulu perhaps since the ego is imaginary, any apparent death of the ego is also imaginary? -=- BINGO! -=- There is an end to self-grasping, however. -=-let the discussion (which Era suggests) begin. what is the so-called ego-death that many teachers refer to?
