Agreement, of course, doesn't mean they are 'right' , but it sho feels good to know I am not 'alone' in the way that I see/think/feel/believe and act - your 'company' especially is very much appreciated/valued, HS.

Hi Joe Mc, that's a great quote. I thought you wrote it at first too :) But hey in non-duality we can all share the glory, right? Anyhow while I was reading it I started humming this song and I dedicate to you.

P.S. Check out Roy Orbison around 1:40 ... :)

Excellent ! great song always loved it ! thanks for sharing ..yes i like what you say there, we all share in the glory, great way of putting it ! Ive had a couple of very strong realisations about the concept of unity and how when we sometimes get a glimpse of that unity (shared glory) things make utter and perfect sense. And the other side of that realisation being no matter how hard you may try to find answers to things such as death etc. in a kind of singular individualistic way, it never really computes or equates. When it is felt and seen as a whole ..its kind of an aha moment ..a view into design or intelligence itself, God. Anyway sorry for labouring a probably obvious and simple kind of thing

WE ARE GOING TO THE END OF THE LINE !!!!
BROTHERS AND SISTERS !

PS. I'd like to offer you a song back if i may, this sad and beautiful Roy Orbison song woww, clocked him at 1.40 in the wilburys video :) woww

Hi again and thanks very much for the music links. Listened a few times and it is helping to calm and slow things down and I feel more connected.

[Miss Hepburn]

Inhale and say "I," exhale and say "am." Inhale, say "I," exhale, say "am."
Doesn't that make you feel good?
Just by saying "I-am" to yourself it lifts you up.
So, the thing to do is this. Whenever you have a problem...

-Robert

[Miss Hepburn]

There's only the Self, and you are that, just the way you are right now, this moment.
There's nothing you have to do to make it happen, to make it appear.
You do not have to beseech it, or petition it, or pray to it, or desire it, or want it.
You have to be! Just be! Be that which you always were.

Be that now, this moment, pure unconditioned Self, the Brahman.


Another excerpt of his.

[Miss Hepburn]

Do what is necessary to become totally free and liberated. For I fool you not when I say,
"You are the absolute reality. You are sat-chit-ananda. You are ultimate oneness, nirvana.
You are the Buddha. You are God. You are free. You are that."


Another excerpt of his.

Why would you describe yourself as a Savant, was that a mistake on your behalf ?

Medical Definition of savant. : a person affected with a developmental disorder (as autism or intellectual disability) who exhibits exceptional skill or brilliance in some limited field (as mathematics or music) especially : autistic savant — see savant syndrome.

The above link states :
Definition of savant
1: a person of learning
especially : one with detailed knowledge in some specialized field (as of science or literature)
2: a person affected with a developmental disorder (such as autism or intellectual disability) who exhibits exceptional skill or brilliance in some limited field (such as mathematics or music)
especially : AUTISTIC SAVANT
— see also SAVANT SYNDROME

So you are referring to definition number 1 presumably ? As definition no.2 is the same definition word for word as I used ? So you are a person of learning especially : one with detailed knowledge in some specialised field ( as of science or literature) ? If so, what specialised field may I ask are you accomplished in ?

Sometimes I ,perhaps mistakenly, see your rebuttals and argumentation as quite adversarial but now I understand, and it's no surprise coming from that type of academic background. 'Western Education' kinda prides itself on that type of approach doesn't it ? The cut and thrust of argumentation and point scoring, from the barrister at the bar, or in your own case the lawyer, through to the General living out his wars in a classroom in some well thought out lecture at Camp David. Indeed, Western Civilisation is built upon it i suppose. Anyway thanks for your reply.
