Edgar,<br/><br/>Thank you for sharing that personal experience. It reminds me
of this haiku by Buson :<br/><br/>The thwack of an ax <br/>in the heart of a
thicket <br/>and woodpecker's tat-tats!<br/><br/>Of course, it could be written
about any country where there are woodpeckers, but if you've been to Japan,
then you can understand the feeling of a Japanese summer in the country that it
evokes.<br/><br/>Just one point tho. Your awakening experience was a run of the
mill, garden variety Zen awakening (I don't mean that in a trivial way). It
occurred spontaneously without employing reason or logic (you didn't even
mention "ontological energy" ; )). So why do you now argue that such
break-thru's can only happen after using rationality and intellectual
reasoning?<br/><br/>Mike<br/><br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo! Mail for iPad
