The Best Yet: "Theory of Everything."

[melanie]

Who are blockheads Mel?? I am seeing alot of "I" responces here in this thread. I have met many people over the years whose lives just pass along and they are completely unaware of what has been transpiring over the recent past...I would never call them blockheads...that is to be insensitive to another person's life....
Did I misinterpret you?? Could you explain??

Regards Mikal

Stupid is as stupid does.

The ''Blockhead'' comment was quite valid.

Just pointing out the obvious...sorry!

[melanie]

Past and Future
(what has been VS what will be)

Where does one end and the other begin?

PAST AND FUTURE

Which contains which?

Awareness does, that's all there is.

No centre -- No ''I''

Just NO-THING

'NOW'

One without a Second.


from nobody

[melanie]

If you did not have an I at the center...


your psyche would simply be non-existent...go figure!!

'your psyche' ?



The 'I' of manifestation looks neither out nor in.

Looking not... I am looked upon.

The I of All that is looks neither out nor in.

Out and In... where is that?

[melanie]

I can't ....

I does not exist.

and Rumi asks God:

"Why won't you answer my longing?"

and God answers:

"I am the longing."

[melanie]

I would never call them blockheads...that is to be insensitive to another person's life....


Did I misinterpret you?? Could you explain??

I don't even know what i've supposed to have said -- that is insensitive to other peoples lives, ???

I simply posted an image in reply to Drifter's post...regarding the 'me' 'me' 'me' mentality.


geeez sometimes you are so confusing mikal?
what do you want me to explain / what is it that you have misinterpreted in my post ?

There is no 'me' i thought you knew that, there is no 'me' centre, that is just illusion.
Some see through this, others do not, it's those that do not that are the sensitive ones.

blockheads they are unconsciously so- i was once a blockhead too, till i saw with my new no eyes.

Life without a centre.

The word 'nonduality' points to
the non-existence of separation
The illusion of separation is at the root of all suffering.
In reality, there are no separate objects or people.
No 'inside' separate from 'outside'.
No 'me' separate form 'you'.
No 'seeker' separate from what is sought.
There is only Life appearing as everything.
Only no-thing manifesting everywhere.
Only Oneness, playing at being a world.

But there is nobody there pulling the strings.
No person in control.
No 'individual' separate from life itself.
No wave separate from the ocean.

And so there is nothing to find, because nothing was ever lost.
You are already Home, and always have been.
And somewhere beyond thought,
somewhere beyond time,
you have always known this.

Life Without A Centre is life - as it is -
seen with brand new eyes.

The brand new eyes, was what Drifter was referring to, to which i responded with acknowledgement in the image.

Melanie,

To what purpose, this posting, so unlike the kind and patient teacher?

Do not answer me. I am now gone.

Ask and answer yourself....

Respectfully,

Lorrina

What you thought melanie was a kind and patient teacher ...?
don't make me laugh....

I'm more a spontaneous no-body just being what ever spontaneously arises--- as it is

And now for your perusal ... a pretty picture just for you

[melanie]

Do not answer me. I am now gone.

Respect is earned not a given.

There is no self

The relative mind can ask only questions that relate to itself.

Relative questions about the absolute.......are absurd.

I'm not here to be a teacher, i'm here to be a pretentious idiotic know-it all just like everyone else here...

This takes me back to my riding school days....

We are all teachers, Melanie, though we often may not consider ourselves such.

As with the horse example.....

Experience, is the only credential that separates a horse trainer from a student of horsemanship.

From the perspective of the horse, every interaction the horse has with any human, will be a 'learning opportunity', that will either reinforce positive or negative previous learnings.

You have made many very inspirational and beautiful posts, Melanie, and have taught me much, and given me much to contemplate and respect.

So when I see you posting manic smiles, that feel like tears to me, my first nature, like the horse, is to flee....

My second nature, as a forum friend, is to ask 'why'?

I appreciate your comments in response to my question, and I apologize if I have been too forthright or pushy.

Universal love and peace upon you, Melanie.
