My answer to Mr.Dylan:


Many, many, many... and many more... and then some... until he doesn't have any more roads to walk down, because he is Home.

If curiosity and subsequent seeking leads one to climb a tree, fall down and break a leg, so be it. If they are afraid when the get to the emergency room, so be it. The only real danger in life is when one chooses to stop asking questions.

Suffering can only be present through resistance. If there is no resistance to what is, there may be intense pain of sorts to endure, but there will be no suffering.

Seeking to uncover the wisdom of ones own heart is a noble journey indeed. If one does not search, they must have all of the answers... and since this is not my reality, I search and remain open to my own discoveries.

At the root of all seeking is a dissatisfaction, a sense of lack, a need to find something, fear and resistance.

Spoken like a true green Phroggy... At the root of all seeking is a dissatisfaction, a sense of lack, a need to find something, fear and resistance.

So says you.

Our differences of perspective are greatly obvious on this subject, I graciously agree to disagree.

How does one end suffering when they are not aware that they are?

Suffering is created in the mind and so it is determined subjectively. There isn't a suffering that an individual is not aware of. However, the nature of dualistic experience is such that joy cannot be known without sorrow, etc, so when an individual claims he does not suffer, either he experiences no love, joy or peace in his life, which for the individual IS suffering, or he's saying he has accomplished the impossible and has created a one-ended stick.

What I mean by Truth is the oneness of Beingness, the realization of which is freedom from suffering, the cause of which is the belief in separation, the function of which is identification with the mind/body.

Realizing we are One comprised of many, is Truth.. preferring either as less or more than the other is a self-imposed limitation of awareness.. the notion of "oneness of Beingness" includes the separation and the mind/bodies that it 'is'.. rather than the "belief in separation" causing suffering, it is the misunderstanding of the 'whole' process of Being..

Be well..

The answer my friend is 'blowin in the wind'... so 'blowin in the wind' is the answer my friend.

Maybe then another path leads to truth and same.

One of these freaking paths must lead to the truth dammit!

Everything in the universe is moving toward Truth because nothing else works. Even the exploration of dead ends is necessary because it tells us what doesn't work.

If everything is seen as perfect the way it is, why seek anything? If you have everything you need, why seek more? There is dissatisfaction and need in seeking.
