Well, given that this is a "pub rap," it is possible Barry might have been
pushing away and ignoring his thoughts and emotions when writing this through
the activity of mindful bier drinking.

Right - that one would have been my guess. And yes, energetically it is easy to
tell the difference with regard to a person's identity, infinite or localized.
But even beyond that is Brahman, where the identity shifts, yet again, to
infinity, anchored in infinity, vs. UC, which is infinity, anch

Another word that I think some on this forum seem to have an aversion to is
mindfulness.
What, when you saw the Subject line you thought I was going to rap about
"motherfucker?" Or some other colorful but button-pushing term? Nope, just
mindfulness.
The term -- and presumably the practice --
This: "There is no loss of individual self-hood in such a state (of Unity).
Rather, individual self-hood, is simply seen, and lived, in its proper place,
secondary, to our Infinite nature. Our infinite nature, then, takes the primary
place, in terms of what we identify, as ourselves."

I doubt there is another one besides "cunt." The phrase "a couple of" is just

I second Bhairitu's comment about your knack for writing dialogue. Writers who

It seems to be a matter of semantics. "Concentration" in the west seems
