chilli Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Hi Thelema!how could we be the same person?since a person is defined by their limitations and exclusionpersona is Latin for the masks actors wore in dramatic playsmaybe all living things are expressions of the same consciousnessmaybe it's just electric monkey meat spazzing outillusions generated by our biologywhat I don't get isif our brains like all life are products of dualistic processesand we therefore inescapably perceive everything in dualitiesaren't dual/nondual states of mind another duality?at the very least we can say all life emerged from the interplay of oppositesthe bright hot shafts of father sun penetrated the dank primordial mists of mother earthand life emerges at the continuing, fragile meridian of harmonious interplay between the twoour local syzygyparochial expression of the dyadso how could we know anything when these dualities are what our brain is built from?I also want to know if to be 'all one' is to be literally al-one... are all distinctions illusory?

Yeti101 Posted April 8, 2013 It isn't just about us all being one. When you ask " Are you the same person that is asking this?" there is a question as to what or who is doing the 'asking' and if it is in some sense you. Are you an isolated bit of your cognitive processes? Is there any such thing as 'you'? Are you the same person you were 10 years ago? How about last month? Last night? 3 minutes ago whn you first read the question? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thelema Posted April 9, 2013 that's right - is it you asking the question of yourself, or is it me asking the question of you? Far from being random stuff, this is meant to provide a path into advaitic awareness and conveniently also points to some deeply hidden assumptions about questions, language, personhood and information transmittance.

Scarecrow Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) We are all geese and nowhere in this universe does one molecule of dead platypus remain unscathed. If a man puts a gosling into a bottle, and feeds him through the neck of the bottle until he is full-grown, how can the man get the goose out without killing it or breaking the bottle?

Thelema Posted April 11, 2013 If I ask it of you then the answer is no If you ask it of yourself the answer must also be no. therefore posing yourself a question, this question, shows that in asking, a person is dis-associating themselves. Reflexivity therefore unmantles the wholeness And we assume that being reflective is spiritual when what it does is dis-associate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

endorfinder Posted April 11, 2013 Can always rely on a drunk to provide advaitic awareness....just ask chogyam trungpa rinpoche... he never led anyone astray Two former students of Trungpa, John Steinbeck IV and his wife, wrote a sharply critical memoir of their lives with him in which they claim that, in addition to alcohol, Trungpa used $40,000 a year worth of cocaine, and used Seconal to come down from the cocaine. Holy shit that's a lot of cocaine at US prices at the time... like an eight ball a day at a guess, much much more if he bought in bulk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
