@mandyjw Now I have popcorn AND a drawing. Beautiful!
This is what non-duality means. There is no duality between duality and non-duality.
You are clinging to one end of a paradox.


Bearing with the conditioned in gentleness, fording the river with resolution, not neglecting what is distant, not regarding one's companions; thus one may manage to walk in the middle. H11L2

Say what you have to say.
What does it mean?

There is no duality between duality and non-duality AND there is duality between duality and non-duality. 

There can also be clinging to one end of this paradox.

You still wouldn't take the apple though. 

I might be clinging to one end of the paradox, but aren't you clinging to the other end? I'm living in my tree house and you're hugging the tree. Don't I have to do one or the other? Especially when you're trying to show someone what you think they may not be seeing?

There is no paradox. This is mind stuff.
Paradox is the sound of a mind that is crumbling.

There is only being. Tao.

Paradoxes are transcended by letting go of the mind.
Neither of their ends are real. This is still mind chatter.
It's better than linearity, but it's still chatter.

This is not being.

There is a deeper level of opposites.

Of course. The mind never lets go until it does.
I bet you had to use lots of fancy psychedelics to get there.
Now you have all the experience in the world to tell other people they're wrong.

Nice drawing!

I also like the below image.

Notice how there is:

1. A young woman

2. An old woman

3. Both an old woman AND a young woman simultaneously.

4. Neither an old woman nor a young wonan simultaneously. 

5. Numbers 1-5 above are all true and false simultaneously.

If we add them all up. . . Drumroll. . . Everything and Nothing ? 

Each step gets progressively harder to “see”.

Haha ? 

I’m not saying you are wrong. I’m saying you are wrong AND right.  

One needs to let go of one to see the other. Then let go of the other to see both and neither.

I am saying you are wrong and right. I am also saying I am wrong and right. The Tao is both wrong and right. Look at the image I attached. I’m cool with agreeing and disagreeing with all of those paradoxical statements. 

It’s not a thinking thing. It’s nonverbal. Yet we often use words and images to help “see it”

Immersion in nature helped me a lot. In some areas, nature is a better teacher than humans.

I like to be. I also like to chatter. :)

I bet you do. And that's the reason you still exist.
It's not about liking or not liking though.

I like how your posts grow with time to be more and more integrated.
Without a trace of being edited.

@ajasatya That's quite a story man.
Was it pre-arranged to let her anger out, or did it happen, ahem, spontaneously?
