Guest guest Posted February 6, 2000 Report Share Posted February 6, 2000 The thinking mind lives in choice by selecting one or the other of opposites -- good or bad, beauty or ugliness, love or hate, fat or thin, emotional or non-emotional, etc. -- then it vigorously defends it's choices as it's version of reality --which means that reality has been defined by the choices made by this mind. It is not the actual reality -- it's simply an illusory reality. This is the type of reality that 99 and 44/100 percent of the earth's population dwell in. This is the reality vigorously defended by the individual and the community-at-large. This is the cause of all problems, many illnesses, and catastrophes such as war. The non-dual mind is choiceless. An analogy might be that it simply happens on the razor's edge -- that place that is neither this nor that but the place where one experiences what is when there are no opposites. The thinking mind is gone -- what is left is a bright, clear, choiceless awareness -- Reality, if you will. This has been described as a place of infinite peace, a place of connectedness to the true self, etc. It can really only be experienced. It cannot be described accurately. It simply is impossible to talk in non-dual words. Remember words are merely pointers to this condition -- if you get stuck in the words -- you are back in your thinking version of reality. So merely totally relax and allow Reality to unfold. Ahhhhhhh Victor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
