Believable aspects of stories.

Words can only ever be but mere pointers to the actual “experience” of Nonduality, and so the stories serve as mere pointers as well.

Oneness or Noneness? Which word is more believable?

Another story:
Quote:
There is a children’s story about the sky falling, but we do not actually believe that such a thing could happen. The sky turns into a blue pancake and drops on our head – nobody believes that. But in maha ati experience, it actually does happen.

Now I don’t think that the above story is believable, because a well-known Buddhist teacher Trungpa had said it, nor the mention of the maha ati “level”.

But "the sky turning into a blue pancake and dropping on our head", now there’s a recognizable hence believable pointer-expression of the new dimension beyond time and space
And that story can be especially helpful & significant for the Eternal Blue Sky – Tengri believers.
