Why? I think this is a gross over-generalization. Spiritual growth or understanding does not have an equal sign to struggle unless one conceives it to be so. Seek and you shall find. Find and then give up seeking. Give up seeking before finding and one doesn't find, they only remain deluded. > > It doesn't exist except in concept and imagination. > > Is it still here when concept and imagination cease? No. Where is this without concept. What is this without concept. Please tell me, what can you say about "this" or any other "thing" without the use of concepts? No concept, no THIS. Perhaps it's a matter of definition about what "This" is, but ultimately, where or what is this except a concept? This is dependent upon knowledge. Knowledge is "I Am" but what is "This" without the knowledge of "I Am"? No knowledge, no this. > > Parrots are so cool aren't they :) > Sure parrots are cool, but teachers parroting what they have heard without any real understanding of what they are talking about aren't really helping aspirants to awaken to their true nature. > > The neo-advaita teaching you are giving is a good example of the mind > > imagining many things and believing them to be true. > > It may be neo-advaitic, probably more neo-zen or zen avant garde except I am > not saying what you just said.

Mind is imagination, concepts. I really don't know what zoning in and out over boggling over its lack of substance means. If there is any zoning or boggling, that is mind, that is imagination. What else is doing the boggling or zoning? > Thanks for the dialog Likewise. Thanks for not sending to my email. :O)
