The field being totality, there is no awareness of a field as separable. Thus, understanding reaches what can't be reached (because no time involved) and what can't be stated (as words assume duration and location). To be what is, that involves no not, which therefore is neither existent nor nonexistent. > >D: I don't believe awareness is the ground of everything. > > > > How silly. > > P: OK.

Your brain is producing the gibberish and attributing it to a cause it is calling " Dan. " Take this issue up with your brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" What do you call something that is located and has no location? " Work on it. The answer is not: " gibberish " ... And the answer is not " the brain " ...

Hahaha! you're right.. maybe he needs a hippopotamus for Christmas to play with and enjoy. i'll forget about getting him that new sight.. for his Red Ryder cork gun. it's not likely to improve his aim anyway. and he might shoot his eye out if he stops hitting his ass. oh what a " Christmas Story " that would make!

I read a post from some idiot who thinks he is aware and then I realised I am that idiot. I am that I am until I think about it. It's all so simple until YOU think about it.

I'd like to take a few moments to answer what *happened* to me. In the thralls of experiencing nonduality, ironically, it's all I could think and talk about, much like a born-again Christian...and in a very real sense I was reborn with a brand new experience/viewpoint/understanding of life.

Yes. Religare means to connect to - a god or something - or just: here am I connecting to you, but since there is no me and no you - only one, not a me connecting to a you or an other, religion is absent in non-duality. Religion requires for there to be at least two in a relationship - but the fact is, that there is but one in the relationship. One being - one in a relationship with one, is not to be confused with the sensation that often follows identification - this is to say the feeling lonely as in abandonned -- left alone BY somebody.

And so it is. So much so, that no realization is needed. Nor is any realization lacking. So much so, that any thought can freely pass through and pass by. And this is as it is.

There isn't anything in or outside of one to connect. If you say no religion, then by the same token no relationship. As no separate other ever existed to connect with one, feeling lonely or abandoned is a movement of energy and doesn't make there actually be an other who abandoned someone. This is the play, the drama, of human life. Feelings in flux, making it seem as if existing beings were doing things to other existing beings separate from them. - D - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
