The Gift

[Guest guest]

Whenever anyone believes that they have captured the essence of

non-duality.....someone should step up and kick their crutches down.

 

Sometimes......I think that I almost have it........and then I get a dousing in

cold water.

 

Only then do I see how silly it is to believe that I could ever get anything.

That would certainly give " the kicker " a superior position in capturing the

essense of non-duality.

 

Good for them, eh?

 

They are a positioned entity, kicking the crutches from under a separate

'someone' who's got the nerve to believe they've captured the essence of

nonduality.

Have what?

 

Existence in a position from which to have something?

Indeed.

 

Am I in a fixed, static position somewhere?

 

And... where would that be?

P.S. I don't see 'having the crutches kicked out' so much as a gift, as an

inevitable result of living in a dream world.

 

The 'essence of nonduality' you're chasing, isn't there.

 

It's imaginary.

 

There is no essence of anything.

 

What you're chasing doesn't exist.

 

Can't ya at least go chase a promotion at work, like all the rest? ;-).

 

LOL...
