To be a bit more specific Peter, your dharma cop role assumes most
people are fools. It assumes all people are like woody allen's satire
/ characture of himself as a kid in Annie Hall. As you remember, the
young 10 year old is brought to the psychiatrist by his mother because
Alvie won't do anything other than stare at walls. Alvie explains his
version of existential angst to the shrink, "the universe is
expannding, which means one day it will explode and that
will be the end of everything."
Some funny responses: His mother yells, "What business is it of yours
what the Universe is doing??!!" And the shrink explains in
condescending tones, "Don't worry Alvie, Brooklyn is not expanding."
Your fear appears to be that everyone is an Alvie, that they will be
paralyzed into inaction if they dare recognize a reality that is only
partially, though perhaps not yet eternally recognized. People, their
associated reactive minds, intellects and bodies, are usually not that
dull as to sink into paralysis when realizing conceptually, based on
experience -- even if it is not eternal experience, that there is no
doer. Or at a deeper level, there is no action.
One can learn of how food is assimilated at chemical, quantum
mechanical or even cosmological levels ("it doesn't amout to a hill of
beans" to quote another film) and yet still the body contines to eat
on the surface level. It is not shocked into paralysis knowing its
just quantum soup drinking quantum soup.
So your role playing dharmic high priest, telling people from what and
how they should interpret the world, is ITMBO (in this mind/body's
opinion) more something you are working out internally, and does not
provide much useful real world guidance for others.
But everyone can and will decide on their own. Besides, this is just
all quantum soup made from an insignificant hill of beans.
--- your pal alvie (still crazy, but not paralyzed, after all these
years).
