We never came into existence as we never left existence but we will continue to think we came into existence as long as we are chased by the ghosts of the mind. The big game is to chase to ghosts away from the mind, to see that it is empty and there only is big pack-man seemingly chasing matter, recycling it into little pack-men (who will start being chased) and vice versa.

Whatever... My answer is that there are as many answers as there are moments. Turn them all into one moment and the answer will be there. Everything will be the answer. The answer is the suchness of the question, and the suchness can only be known in the stillness of the moment, which is the one moment. All things merge in that moment, and all things are the answer. At one point for a period of several years I kept asking myself, 'What is the secret of life?' At some point, don't ask me how this happened, everything became the secret of life, and then I just stopped posing the question. It was over. I had known suchness and all things converged in suchness and so all things were the answer. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has addressed the second part of your question, which implies that we Stand Free, which is another answer to your first question. We are Standing Free. We are here to know that we are Standing Free. In the spirit of deep questioning, I invite people (especially newcomers who may not have been exposed to this) to consider The Why Method at <http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/umbada/why.htm> (btw, thanks to the person who graciously pointed out to me that surrounding a URL by a < and a >, makes it readable by more email programs.)
