Merle, Well, Cousin... Bill! has no intellectual property rights on his assertion, and it's no theory. I say awaken to our true nature, and then let's talk wordlessly. Are you up to it? Of course you are. You just have to make yourself susceptible to being struck by the right kind of lightning. That is our practice, and its sudden piercing of the balloon at some point. But even after lightning strikes, you'd better believe that it's going to have to strike twice, and etc. It's not a one-shot deal. I'm living proof. Yes, my raggedy clothes have been burned off more than once, and I'm grateful. Grateful to what or who, I dunno, but we have ourselves to thank. Our true nature, that is. And the Dharma, and our teachers, enemies, and detractors. Won't you join this vagabond procession? Don't bother to hang on to your hat; the sudden wind is fine. Ours is the "sudden" school, you know. You know that, don't you? Sudden. --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > > > bill...that's your theory...and yours alone!..merle > > Mike, > > Good question and the answer is 'no'. > > Experience does not have to be dualistic (subject/object).
