Bill,
They gave it a name because they knew what they were sensing, and talking about.
But it's the nature of the Buddha Nature, in its various consciousnesses, to
play games (in Hinduism, it's Lila, the Play of God). Otherwise, it's all
"boring", as one the members here reminds us. An undifferentiated blob going
nowhere, doing nothing. Who am I?: nobody, nothing. Mu! Wu!
Oh, well! So, the Chi-noticers among us are at fault, as seen from the
Absolute.
No, not so much "fault"; but, like my cat prompting me when he wants his dinner
(on-TIME): He knows something's gnawing at him! He puts his claws into my arm
as I stubbornly type, here, as I disregard -- to a point -- his very accurate
biological clock, and try to buy for Papa another ten minutes typing-time. '-)
Poor cat... .
Poor me: his claws are sharp and natural.
We humans have the option of noticing, being dualistic, and returning to
samadhi-state. No loss, no gain.
This is just called human nature. I think no other animal does this as well
(as we). I'm not sure WHAT state (other) animals have. Hail!
