The point I seek to convey is that seeking to "make sense of it" with our dualistic mind (we think in an inner "language" and separating mode of descriptive thinking) is bound to make it appear non-sensical, because at that level of description it is non-sensical.
We are dealing with an unresolvable non-dual paradox and the mode of living with it, is livin ever went away . . . the seeker did, to look for it."

Its well to remember that Jesus and those who named him "Christ" are also part of that great multiplicity through which the nondual shines.
The tendency of man to categorise everything, break them apart into opposites or non-related parts is perhaps a natural first step in encountering the world. But the sages of the past of many backgrounds were able to se ...[text shortened]... perfectly functioning unity, balanced and complete.
Thanks Karoly.
Yin Yang is a Gankyil-grounded fractal projection; Gankyil is an awareness-grounded fractal projection; awarness is only You -you are the bond and the bond is strong;
The bond is empty. Nothing Holy

I like all this stuff, like others like football. Remain in simple and straightforward living, when you cut wood, cut wood, when you eat, eat. It is there.
Please, let everything go that I say that brings confusion. It doesn't matter a hoot.
Live now. You are in it and of it, whether you see it or not. Try not to cling to anything too much, it helps.
Cheers.
No hay nada que no es del todo.
Todas las cosas son los aspectos del todo;
todas las figuras/formas son las manifestaciónes del terreno.
Las figuras estan explicito; el terreno esta solo implicito.
El todo consiste de las figuras y del terreno,
sin ninguna separación; no hay el uno sin el otro.
¡No hay nada que no es del todo!

Originally posted by divegeesterIt's just one step above Atheism, which is almost total focus on the self. However, since it is one step above, it is one step further on the evolutionary road to Heaven. It's going in the right direction, so it's worth encouraging, it's just that it might take a bit too long to get there. No wonder they believe in reincarnation.
