Is there a detailed word index on line that I can use to find the quite long passage with the depressed guy when N gave a long example of the direct approach?

Probably go to my thread on Nisargadatta in this forum section and access the PDF 'I Am That' from there. It goes into detail.
PS. May I suggest ceasing the inane bickering. It makes the thread an unpleasant place to be.

Yes anything can happen. I can speak about my experience in the past or present. How I feel about connection in the future does not concern me because the future is never here:) I could imagine it but don't bother as it may be nothing like I imagine:)
You don't have to mention the word "judgement" in order to judge what may be right for another. "In the end you are really just seeking yourself- Iamit" You have no idea about that because you do not share my experience. But anyway never mind. Be well and good luck.

There is an awareness of what the potentials of the future may hold, without the imagination getting in the way. I don't have to imagine what the past and present already shows as potential of what has been is and can be.
Obviously, in your assessment of the future, your more attuned to believing it is about imagining details, where as potentials only require a conscious awareness and observation of how life moves and can be as a seed of itself as open source of potential.
Of course I could be wrong in my assessment of you by saying this.
Perhaps you don't observe the movements of yourself and life as close as others might do?
As for my posting of the quote, it opened you up to show how you might perceive me posting that, which is good, because often what comes through at the subtle level of your relating at times tends to make me curious ..

Ok I'll check it out. Thanks.

Agreed if only B could cease responding to my posts with smears which need to be challenged. We know what happens if totaltarians are not challenged when denying individual choice. You may have noticed that it is it not I who initiate contact with B. It would be better if the moderators would deal with it but alas it doesn't happen.

Yes of course there can be awareness of what the future may potentially hold. For me that occurs in my imagination. It does occur sometimes but I dont give much attention to it because the feeling arises that it might not happen.It is obviously not a reflection on what is or has happened which I do focus on. I like and study history for what it can reveal about what is happening now. What arises now can be seen to have arisen before and the consequenses observed.
Even with that information there is potentially so much hidden in terms of what is happening and why. (see S kierkegaarde's parable of the Highwayman). There is the idea of an infinate balancing system that operates automatically withot which there would be no duality.
Please say what has made you curious and maybe we can discuss it.

Ok, I am pretty fond of that little book and it found it to be a pretty rich piece of work.
Sure, it's ok to say as you please, Iamit - and the vast majority of us appreciate it.
I actually deny individual choice in principle, for this very moment is inevitable and hence choiceless, but it is only proper to allow people to be as they are, think as they think, express themselves as they will - and could only hope to broaden possibilities, deepen and enrich perspectives, and live with the undying wish that this life of mine will result in betterment in the world, at least in some small way.

Yes from a non dual perspective there is no-one choosing including the utterance that the right to choose be respected. That each statement plays a part in maintaining an infinite balance may be the mechanism operating even if that balance is not apparent "locally":)
