The grass is green; the sky is blue.
The idea of a society is an idea. The concept of nonduality is an idea. An idea about an idea about an idea is also an idea. The mind is a labyrinthe; if one enters, it may be hard to find the way out. *smile*

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, would be a good start. (Alternative saying, same meaning, Do not do to others what you do not wish done to yourself). The meaning of this is that whatever you do to others you are simultaneously doing to yourself. IOW, Instant Karma gonna get you, John Lennon. Ego can't see this. The very definition of ego is self-centeredness. It can't happen to the masses of men......but it can happen, for you (any one person). It can't happen for everyone but it can happen for anyone.

What if the Bible was shortened to two words?
'Be Nice.'

What if the Bible was shortened to two words? 'Be Nice.' In that event a crusade would be launched to restore the missing 'e' that had been left off by the evil heretics!

Hi All, That's great guys, thanks for playing. Address the question from a few nondual implications:- 1) There would be no separate persons, despite looking like there were, so no-one with choice or responsibility. What would the legal system be like? 2) Would there still be seekers and guru's? 3) Would there still be suffering? If so why? amit 4)

God help his family and friends that are currently smiling through this.

Hi silver, You would need to be more specific about why you have concluded in your opinion the assertions above when you do not know me or my family or friends. If that is not possible I would appreciate it if you would not respond to my posts either directly or indirectly by referring to what you think you know about me personally or my family or friends. amit

Our societies are not based on the concept of nonduality. Take the legal system for example where an individual is regarded as having choice and personal responsibility. amit
