Genesis by Herman de Coninck It was the sixth day. Adam was ready. He saw the oaks firmly rooted in the void. He had seen the mountains, high empty cellars vast storerooms holding nothing but themselves. And deer. With legs as thin as stethoscopes they stood listening to the breast of the earth, and as soon as they heard something, they ran away. And he had seen the sea, the busy swelling and receding that makes one calm. And the empty, provocative gestures of the wind, come along, come along, though no one followed. And the depths, gulfs that make one uneasy. And the bustling because that is what everything was doing. Then God said: and now you. No, said Adam.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 There is no need to challenge my mind in this way. My interest lies in Self Realization, and the Realization of All Others, since All Others when realized become the Self, and the Self All Others. This didn't show up for a reason, it's meaningless to the inquiry of who I am or of who you are or of who anyone else is. That is maybe too mental too much to mind. So wheter you talk about my mirror or your reflection, is irrelevant, as long as no one is there to follow your imagination. You are right , Swamji, as usual. I just thought a little break from that deep stuff we constantly challenge others with on this site would be welcome. No more welcome, than the constant mind masturbation from all other members, but what do I say, I'm just a daily visitor, since my name and location have changed, it lost my interest completely. Awzpso The School of Robots! We are All Eyes in the same Mirror! All Eyes in the same Mirror!! All Eyes in the same MIRROR!!! Tired of spam?

And because you are so diferent your chance for self-realization vastly has increased, hasn't it ?

'you' never had any interest....or anything else.. to lose. it's good that you go.. the weight of carrying that much misunderstanding is heavy. any such lightening of the load is always appreciated. mana a mano that is once that's overcome.. there is no load left. only loading..into 'Fullness'.. yet in Open Free Non-Fillable CAPACITY. Strangest of the Strange.. but as down Home as It gets. that's THAT. ..b b.b. ...................................nnb................................. > Awzpso The School of Robots! > > We are All Eyes in the same Mirror!
