Hi Alex The reason I'm suggesting that you visit a Zen Master/Roshi is that I feel you might still have some incorrect understanding of Zen. This is of course just my own biased assessment, and I'm certainly not in any position to judge you, not to mention the many blindspots I still have about Zen. > > Here's a koan: How do you cut with non-cutting? > This is simple -- choose the Middle Way!

Socrates used to go around Athens saying, `You must know yourself.' Once a student of his asked him, `Do you know yourself?' Socrates said, `No, but I understand this not-knowing." Hope you understand this not-knowing too. wai ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads. Yahoo! Companion Toolbar.
