Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 In a sleep without dreams, there is no you, or me. We merge in our sleep. Forgetting we exist, we become the one who transcend being and being not. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should sleep be " my " sleep and also " my " transcendence of being/being not? Why should being/being not to be transcended? 'Who' forgets in sleep, he exits? Have you seen someone forgetting himself while sleeping? I can forget " my " self also reading a newspaper! Or, is this just a poem? .....a bad one? or a joke? .....a good one? fuzzyL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good or bad are just a matter of taste and irrelevant to the discussion. Transcend in this context simply means to go beyond by forgetting being or not being. Nondualists always get snared by the " who " question. They are always trying to disprove a ghostly " who " , and not finding any, conclude there is no one who exists. Funny, that they ignore the obvious, the " who " they search is the brain. After we discard identity as mere memories and concepts, still remains in the brain this persistent feeling of being a subject to its sensations. So the brain is the who that forgets this feeling of being apart. There are no ghosts, just feelings, sensations, perceptions, memories, thoughts flashing on and off inside a brain. Hope this is not too fuzzy. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
