"jb" RE: Soul enters body ?

Discussing soul entering body reminds of the analogy of a vacuum "entering"

a jar by pumping out air.

"At best" an intelligent being can recognize

no-thingness as its core and for a few it will become "more" than a

recognition.

The fundamental "property" of Oneness is unconditional Self-absorbtion. What

goes on in the mind becomes more and more secondary. This will be evidenced

in periods of "worldly" bad luck.
