Guest guest Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 There is generally a desire to 'have it both ways'. One wants the reality, while retaining the imaginary. This is actually precisely what is already the case, should this desire exist. There is the reality, obscured by the imaginary. To " gain " the 'real' -- abandon the false, the imaginary. There is nothing more to it. This is nothing more, or less, than total loss. What isn't lost, is the case. What is lost, is already always being lost. One simply stops recreating it.

The imaginary is all that constitutes the " me " . And yes, one does not abandon it -- it drops, or not. That was merely a figure of speech. Why distort words to try and fit the way things really are, unless one is showing off to someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let me know it that is the case. I, for one, post with the hope that someone will add to......refine.....or even deride what comes through me. toombaru toombaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
