And that conventional individual "owns" the outcome of the choices, even if s/he has the experiential realization that the gunas made them (i.e., is enlightened). > The unmanifest Self is always "choiceless"; but the > conventional body/mind makes choices, often with an > expectation of results. And theoretically, those expectations are *also* a function of the interaction of the gunas. As I understand it, the gunas are just as responsible for what goes on in the brain (including my understanding of what the gunas are responsible for!) as they are for the external results of brain activity. (If one's intellectual understanding of Advaita doesn't end up in a catch-22, it's inauthentic.) > Judy, thanks for not being a Neo-A.
