THAT?

[enigma]

Personally, I identify more with the soft tissue anyway.

[seaside]

Thanks, Zendancer.

No bones and no bundle.

[zendancer]

Deliciously understood.

[klaus]

enigma,

It's those wings that take up so much space, sorry two fell off.

seaside,

In response to your question, it does not matter, THAT is prior to bones and no bones. Make no bones about IT.

[seaside]

Klaus,

Of course! THAT is prior to everything.

No bones about it.

No bones about IT.

But, it may matter, in a relative sense.

Although it may not matter absolutely.

I haven't yet read all of your available posts, so I'm curious.

Does it matter to you that I may have talked about something that does not matter?

If so, is there a you that it matters, or not matters, to?

--Thank you for the interaction.

[divinity]

Yes... you are like a living koan... very fun!

[klaus]

seaside,

Yes, it matters in the realative sense,
no it does not matter in the absolute sense.

At that point in time "bones or no bones" engaged the apparent, "I" in the relative sense.

In the absolute sense there was nothing to matter, nor one that it mattered to.

Much ado about nothing!

[seaside]

Klaus,

Could we not say, "Much ado about THAT"?

And even though THAT is perfect and complete,

in and of itself,

and requires no ado, absolutely,

and much ado is not "necessary" for awakening,

and can be an obstacle to awakening,

much ado is what these posts "necessarily" involve,

relatively speaking.


I just read a lot of your posts.

Thank you.

I hope your wife is doing well.

[klaus]

seaside,

Can you share your direct experience of THAT?

Thank you, my wife is slowly recovering from her surgery, everyday is better than the last.

[seaside]

klaus,

It must be your "apparent I" that wants to know.

---------------------------------------------------------

That everything is a direct experience of THAT.

------------------------------------------------------------

Experiencing myself as "sentient presence awareness"

rather than the ego construct that is the "apparent I".

--------------------------------

Realizing that this "sentient presence awareness" is THAT.

-------------------------------

Realizing that this "sentient presence awareness" is one thing.

That is to say, there is only one of them.

One thing manifesting through all sentient beings.

One thing that can not be observed,

cannot be made an object of awareness,

except when IT is aware of ITself

when "sentient presence awareness" manifests.

----------------------------------------------------------

A brief manifestation of "sentient presence awareness"

as THAT realizing itself as perfect, still,

and independent of any concepts, self concepts, or ado.

----------------------------------------------------------

This "apparent I" doesn't want to sound as though it is not still

learning. it has learned a lot from the posts of your "apparent I".

[zendancer]

Seaside: Thinking about an "apparent I" versus "sentient presence awareness" can become a tiresome thing. How is it when all such distinctions are left behind?

[seaside]

Tiresome? Yes.

In answer to your question,

Like the feel of my fingertips on the keyboard.

Like the leaves turning in the breeze outside my window.

"Just like this."

[zendancer]

Seaside: It doesn't get any clearer than that. Cheers!

[peanut]

Seaside..welcome...this "apparent I' sure enjoyed your response to klaus...

Zendancer...appears that this thinking about "apparent I" vs "sentient presence awareness" has just bout worn out this "apparent I" :-)

[klaus]

Seaside,

THAT"S THAT!
