Suresh,
Well, "obsessed" is too strong -- and wrong -- a word.
On a Zen forum, I don't mind speaking about Zen, however. Your habit seems to
speak about all else but Zen.
Other things enter here from time to time, of course, which relate to our topic.
But in general, I enjoy keeping on-topic, and making the forum a more
concentrated place upon the central topic that it is dedicated to. Here, such
concentration is not "obsession": but it is "keeping on topic", and following
the Terms of Service of the board.
You say you know Naimy: but he passed away 25 years ago. Did you know him
personally, earlier?
I do not agree that argument can lead to what you call pure consciousness.
Neither does it have to do with the "No Mind" of Zen awakening. Argument and
dialectic can only show the futility of using logic and thought to realize
Buddha Mind. Once a person is satisfied -- and exhausted -- that cogitation is
futile, he/she can then get down to actual practice, instead, preferably with a
Zen teacher and a group, and see them regularly, and practice Zazen regularly.
That is, if your interest is in fact really in Zen.
