Hello Abd, I wanted to offer more re the most important part of your post here yesterday:
"I just finished the Landmark Education Advanced Course, and one of the Landmark "distinctions" is "Life is empty and meaningless and it is empty and meaningless that "life is empty and meaningless." Yet "what happened" is real, it is only our *interpretations* of what happened that leave behind reality. When they say that life is empty and meaningless, they are not claiming that this is "true," but that it is useful as a "distinction" that allows us to leave behind the traps of belief in assumed or created meaning. This is not mere philosophy in Landmark, it's demonstrated and observed and learned as a functional distinction that is liberating. Landmark is considered by some to be a "cult." It's been fascinating for me to explore this, I can easily understand why some would think that. Rich, someone we both know very well has long been involved with Landmark. Were you ever invited to check it out? If so, what happened?" It sounds like you have been quickly guided into direct experience within ordinary identity awareness into the enlightment "level" of "emptiness" as aware presence -- the pearl of great price, waiting to be found within the empty field, as Jesus of Nazarus put it. The first daily lesson of A Course In Miracles, dictated by Jesus, starting in October, 1965, "Nothing I see (perceive, feel, sense, recall, think, imagine) means anything." http://www.nonduality.com/ free info on all aspects of this level of exploration of experience What is, surely, is "ising", so "I sing" Each of us is already always all ways single entire unified creative fractal hyperinfinity So, to each and all, I sing "I accept all of your power I let you all the way in to share spontaneously at every level and aspect for fun and the best service of all open to inspiration and guidance forgiving and leaving behind all previous notions..." The fundamental practice of Buddhism is to cultivate awareness that experience is 1. always changing, with no fundamental causality (codependent coorigination) 2. unable to satisfy 3. unable to confirm the actual existence of any individual self within person, place, process, anything Miracles magically saturate both ordinary and scientific processes In mutual service, Rich
