D: This, as you say, is a belief. One of our human tendencies

is to become entranced by beliefs, which we then

use as a guide to reality. The reality we find then

fits with, and reinforces our belief. So it goes.

Until there is a total break with the reality-system

governed by belief.

D: There is no decision, no choice.

There is no walking back to what was never left.

 

What is the net result? Is it just a hide and seek game? I

D: Thought can only construct an image.

Reality is the Image prior to and beyond image.

Reality is not ever an image.

Being is never what it was thought

being would be.

 

It's a new game. It's not just diversion. It is truly growth

D: The greater the doubt, the greater the enlightenment.

However, this is still relative truth.

Ultimate reality, the indescribable, will never

be understandable in relative terms.

Throw out doubt, throw out enlightenment.

Throw out deepr, throw out more.

What is left, the Unpeakable, will never

fit the realm of thought.

Yet, this Unspeakable is fully "there"

with every moment of being, every thought-instant.

It is as fully there with the doubt as with

the awakening.

There is not more nor less to it, so it plays

all the parts in the games of more or less

with equanimity.

No one becomes Self.

There is only Self.

The delusion that there

is anyone else is dropped.

There are no greatest hits.

No one's changes in self

led them to become Self.

There is only "This."

So yes, forgive it all

because there is nothing

to forgive and no one

there to forgive or do

the forgiving.

 

You are peachy all right.

Keen like a knife.

Have to be to cut

through the bullshit ;-)
