Only a stream of events in consciousness

[Guest guest]

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

What is birth and death but the beginning

and the ending of a stream of events in

consciousness? Because of the idea of

separation and limitation they are painful.

Momentary relief from pain we call pleasure -

and we build castles in the air hoping for

endless pleasure which we call happiness.

It is all misunderstanding and misuse. Wake

up, go beyond, live really.
