Your question itself has built in the assumptions of separation - and then it asks to be free of them. But do you ever truly experience yourself as separate? Do you experience a line or a gap between your subjecthood and an object? Is there a colored marker letting you be certain where the subject stops and the object begins? Are you familiar with Gaudapada and his ajatavada? In that case, a remedy might entail looking into the assumptions and expectations behind your question, and seeing if they make sense. At that point, the expectation that things be different from NOW will have a chance to come to peace. --Greg --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
