I'll look it out. Again, 'death', in the sense of 'ceasing to exist' simply makes no sense to me now, as I see this physical form called 'Harry' as a gloriously unique expression of the ceaselessly evolving, ever more self aware universe, and the essence of who I am as one magnificent manifestation of everything that is. Harry-flavoured Isness...<br /><br />Sort of;)<br /><br />Great post, Sue.Harry Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14341037712756284832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-57691525119828420512011-07-22T16:31:41.462+10:002011-07-22T16:31:41.462+10:00Erin - it's funny how many things are just suc...Erin - it's funny how many things are just such pure gold and yet they're totally ignored by our stupid moronic culture. We have so many things all arse-about on so many fronts, it boggles your mind.<br /><br />Well, it boggles your mind if you're people like you or I, thinking about the human condition :)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122659239039900398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-79026381337888826532011-07-22T15:07:05.806+10:002011-07-22T15:07:05.806+10:00Sometimes that second paragraph sure feels like me...Sometimes that second paragraph sure feels like me...for sure.

Sogyul Rinpoche talks about the Buddha seeing the universe made up as a net of interconnected jewels, which is what I think you're saying here. <br /><br />But to get to that place requires a whole lotta courage. We live in such a death-denying culture. It encourages us to live in a fantasy land and pretend that one day we're not gonna die.<br /><br />Which is a shame, because facing that, and the impermanence of everything, leads you out the other side to that blissful sorta space you're talking about, where words fall down :)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122659239039900398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-25083928133036673332011-07-21T18:42:41.528+10:002011-07-21T18:42:41.528+10:00I hope you didn't expect me to resist commenti...I hope you didn't expect me to resist commenting on this, Sue;)<br /><br />If the human body-mind is part of the universe - as seems probable - then scientific experiments, meditation and the like are the universe exploring itself, waking up to itself. The universe becoming self-aware, in fact. <br /><br />And as far as I'm, err, aware, the universe doesn't know how to die, to cease to exist. It's only the mind-created little self which is afraid to 'die', but then it doesn't really exist anyway, so it's a no-thing afraid of becoming nothing...<br /><br />Ok... I'll stop there before someone hits me;)Harry Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14341037712756284832noreply@blogger.com
