Or is it the Zen finger pointing to the moon? In which case it's Gutei's finger, and must be chopped off. But by whom? ;)Matthew Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01412672739869399178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-6008372836817027882015-01-31T09:44:51.602-08:002015-01-31T09:44:51.602-08:00Of course there is someone there. You are there, ...Of course there is someone there. You are there, the human witness to Self, which is also Self. It is the human witness that speaks of the Self.<br /><br />When I told Robert that I was frightened because I did not exist, he responded, "Of course you exist, you are talking to me aren't you?"<br /><br />So, the human self does not exist permanently, and in that sense Advaita considers it illusion, and only the eternal subject is unchanging and real. But the human Self certainly exists as a temporary phenomena and is real in that sense.Ed Muzikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214241089861837159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-46601700256074824832015-01-30T19:07:02.191-08:002015-01-30T19:07:02.191-08:00Nice, Steve.

And when I feel you next to me, you take it even deeper. The body is just bathing in Bliss. The world and its antics are just frames in a movie just passing by.<br />Its wonderful when your Total Happiness just spreads out strongly to the devotees-I Love You for sharing your Self. steveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
