Hi Mayka,

And, so what if your mind gets confused? You may not be able to
satisfactorily explain the difference between illusion and reality - but
then neither can anyone else. However, I believe that, in living your
life, you have no problem telling the difference.

Wouldn't be another illusion to make distinctions between illusions and

As Suzuki Roshi has pointed out, the Zen Mind is like the Beginner's
Mind, with many, many possibilities. Perhaps, Mayka, you are developing
a Zen mind. I had wrongly judged you as having the mind of an expert
-with very, very few possiblities in it. ;-)
