Mayka and JM,
If and when I do not respond to your posts, it's not because I am shunning you. It is because we do not appear to be able to communicate with each other - and this is nobody's 'fault.' Nevertheless, please do not hold back from expressing your views on my messages, and I may do likewise as appropriate. I tend to focus on view-points, and attach little significance if any to the specific individual expressing those points of view. --ED --- In [email protected], Maria Lopez <flordeloto@...> wrote: > ED; I'm not sure If I'm understanding well your sayings here but no intention of interfering in any with your way of seeing life etc... I'm under the impression that your confusion here comes due to you doing too much reading and not experiencing in you that. The Buddha stated very clearly not to believe in anything he said, but experience first and then choose to believe or not believe. A bit like Chris pointed out the other day something on this lines: "First experience afterwards think". But you seem to keep doing in other way round: first you do massive reading to stimulate even more your intellectual thinking and then you experience the consequences of that mental intellectual thinking. This is why you are confuse now. In the light interbeing and the heart of prajanaparamitra sutra or Heart Sutra: Emptiness is form, form is emptiness and the same is with perceptions, mental formations, consciousness....Impossible to understand this in the intellectual thinking form. So you have no more choice but to give up and start to do some sitting to start with. Mayka
