This expresses my experience, Justin ! Including the unconcern with what appears, however good or comfortable, miraculous or discordant. Those are meanings. The One meaning is unchanging. IT is not anything that may exist or not, IT is existence itself. IT is not any knowledge I may know or not, IT is knowledge itself. IT is not any joy or bliss I may experience or not, IT is bliss itself. IT is all, supports all, pervades all, rules all. But IT is not this, not that, gross or subtle. I've chosen to bring back to use expressions that have remained unmodified in any way since millenia. May not be of help. But they are exact. My entire effort was to realise what they meant, and not what I wanted them to mean ! The latter habit was the one most difficult for me to become free of. But that was the only way I had to proceed along the way. Best Wishes. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
