I like words that begin with the letter "P". I like a certain color blue. I dislike a great many things but I try not to think on them except for when I think that I could benefit from not having a said dislike as a limitation to me involving myself in something. The general interests me, the particular does not. Right now there is fur on my face ( Read more... )

Oh dear David. Still trying to meditate with your eyees closed in the middle of the town square, are we? One of these days I am going to have a really good shot and smack you into actually interacting with us mere mortals. Happened once or twice, by jove I can do it again. The look on your face, priceless.

Mirrors and reflections do not reflect the truth, just an image, they are hollow manifestations of what they portray.
Ah, and yet and yet this is a long disagreement about the proper way of meditation and things such, your kind of people tend to think that 'maya' is bad usually. My kind of people realize that without it, one doesn't have the world, and appreciate it for all its loveliness. One just must be careful not to get lost in it.

Your kind of people tend to meditate for thousands of years on a mountain while my people tend to look at you cockeyed and wonder what exactly is so fascinating on that mountain top that cannot be viewed in other ways in all the myriad souls and experiences down here in the world.

My people also like confront reality head on, although that does hurt quite a bit sometimes.
It has been said that to experience hyper-black, one must run into a wall really hard and the color that occurs right before you die is hyper-black. OK, well, that is taking it a it a bit far, n'est ce pas? But otherwise even though it is quite terrifying, it does get easier.

What do you argue against or for? I wonder if you think I'm a part of any disagreement. Please make a more detailed account of what you think I believe and the manner in which you feel it differs from what you believe.

Thought it quite obvious, actually. No harm no foul, I just wanted to add my perspective to the mix and from discussions we have had before and implications from other discussions we have had. I didn't actually intend to cause any disagreement, just a general continuation of discussion and philosphy. If you look, I put language specifically designed not to have this effect, but, alas and alack, it apparently didn't work as planned.
I've been in a strange country where they don't speak my language for more than a week. I've had lots of fun problems pop up that require a vast resevoir of patience and creativity. And, for a moment, it was nice to think that I could discuss matters of spirit with an old friend who speaks the same language as I. I miss that--and while sitting in this huge cemetary in Marseille I had a yearning to discuss...question....and thought perhaps that was an opening. .Guess not.

I'll just blend back here in the darkness and anonymity blowing apologies your way.
