> Hi ED. IMO, you have a quite powerful and vigorous analytic,
reductionist, discursive intellect, which must serve you well
when applied in its proper sphere to puzzles amenable to logical
analysis. But when you try to approach Zen in that way you are
like a physically powerful man who wants to solve every problem
by using his great physical strength, even if physical strength
is of no use. The analytic intellect will always try to deconstruct
eveything into component parts or concepts, compare and contrast
those component parts and concepts, and reconstruct those component
parts and concepts in various ways. But this is of no use if ultimate reality
is not composed of component parts and concepts! Even to say "All is One" will
be beside the point. IMO.
