P: Thanks, my bird of paradise, but you only

scratched the surface, the worm is hidden

deeper than that. You have to work for the

worm, but few want to eat the worm. In other

words, we are fascinated by change and

novelty, and pretend to search for the

immutable. If we can't look at our own

face for more than a few minutes without

losing interest, how are we to see that

that has no qualities and doesn't change?

 

Our bodies and minds are change, the universe

itself is change. The immutable sees itself

as change, and doesn't recognize itself. So

we must deeply understand change to unearth

the immutable worm.

 

Here are some more questions:

 

Can there be space without objects? If there

existed a one particle universe, would space

exist? Only in a two particle universe can

space be said to exist. See? Creation requires

duality. A universe of one God particle is

barren, it needs to explode into multiplicity

and change to give birth. So this universe is

the son of a barren woman, as Maharaj used to

say of seekers.

 

Can you know yourself as change and see what

doesn't change? God is the Multiple One. God

is the unchanging change. The Absolute is the

Multiple None. Ah, there is the worm. Yum!
