You are absolutely correct, there is no more inside/outside. No more dream either, just awareness of the isness which transcends the dream. Now the question who was the dreamer, Alice or the red king?Best to you,Pat

Who indeed is the dreamer Pat?Is it you or I,or prehaps no one that we know?

I seemed to have been a verb Pat. There was no dreamer, only dreaming. There were no people, only peopling. There was no doer, only doing. No waves in the ocean, only waving. No Alice or looking glass...only reflecting...only the display...

Well action does speak louder than words.( Nouns )

Best to you Not 2too,

The longest jouney starts with the first step,we who have been programmed from birth to
look without have to do an about face and look within!This is a very difficult concept to "get your head around"as everything around you suggests that the answer to all your needs and wants lie without!Just look at the seductiveness of adverts on tv,who if you buy their product your life will become better.

The truth is that as far out that you can go,within you can go farther.

The lock (mind) has only one key (intellect), turn it right (world) it identifies with the external, or turn it towards the left (inward), it is homing towards ‘Reality’---Self. Love & regards.ls
PS, farthest is the nearest.

Hi ls;

Would the nearest then be the farthest?

Best to you,

Pat

Yes sir,if we give full freedom to our senses. We gererally create confusion between the external and the inner. If we look outward, it is the external world, and the within is the inner,then where is the conflict between the two? love&regards.ls.

[Profpat]

Thanks for the quick response. I tend to agree with you on that.
