Hi ED. Oh, that doesn't refer to any attempt to persuade, but rather to
communicate. But of course all language is dualistic and second-hand. -Steve

Hi ED. Oh no, of course not. But what I am referring to is the "Being-ness"
of any experience. In my opinion, all phenomena are "Mind-Only". Hence, to
realize the Being-ness of any moment of experience is the same as experiencing
the totality. One need only touch the wetness of any one wave of water in order
to realize the wetness of all waves of water. IMO. -Steve

Hi ED. It released me from anxiously striving for enlightenment.
I'm pretty relaxed now. -Steve
