You are very 'polite' and you speak very sweetly

.... just like many other 'Indians' [myself

included]

Sure...

I will.

Sure...

Possibly in a very 'polite' way ?

I think you " should " indicate that 'plan] [of posting]

in your questions to the " gurus " .

Sure...

 

and, any reason you " shouldn't " be?

That's very nice of you

How do " you " know that?

 

....and, why do you care?

 

Do you want to be in 'deep sleep', all the time?

 

Do you think 'deep sleep' is somehow 'superior'

to 'other' states?

 

Do you think nature/God/Creation/Existence/Evolution

made a 'mistake' by keeping both 'deep sleep', 'dream'

as well as 'awake' state intact for BILLIONS of Years?

 

Why do you think all these 'states' are still there?

 

 

> Pow! without warning it strikes,

" I Am " arises, Awareness looks at

" I Am " wake up and " I " dentifies.

 

 

" Who " is 'Awareness',

if it is NOT " I Am " ?

 

How does it differ from " I Am " ?

 

Who are you when you are NOT?

 

Do " you " know of any instant when " you " are NOT?

Is that possible?

When does it 'begin'?

 

 

Do " you " know of any instant when " you " are NOT?

Is that possible?

'Seems' to continue?

 

or, it 'does' continue?

 

 

 

> The struggle against duality,

 

Why the 'struggle'?

 

What is 'wrong' with 'duality'?

 

Do you think nature/God/Creation made a mistake

by having humans, animals with a sense of 'individuality'?

 

Or, is this the way it " should " be?

And, what is 'wrong' with it?

 

 

Do " you " create it?

 

or, do you think it is just the " natural "

" flow " of what is inside you?

Maybe...

 

Have you tried 'looking'...?

 

What happens then?

 

 

> And all is pure Awareness again.

 

Maybe, if you want to call THAT 'pure Awareness'

and THIS 'impure Awareness'?

 

 

>How can we get off this

> treadmill?

 

Why do " you " want to get off?

 

Don't you like the 'excercise'?

 

Do you think God/Creation/Nature made a 'mistake'

by putting " you " here?

Sure...

 

I tried,

 

but Have 'I'?

PS: I will post it on Niz and NDP too.

 

You might want to join NDP too.

There are many scholars on that site

and many times, there is highly intellectual

discussions there?

 

With warm regards,
