Ha!... I bet it's for sure that tiger... chomped on the heads... chewed 'em up, swallowed 'em right down... greedy, greedy, fellow. [BURP!]

Wha?... wanted it back? Well no siree, no thanks... it was more trouble than it was worth, so it's just as well to be without it since it weren't doing no body no good no ways. Besides, without it there's now an unobstructed view to the "no-end insight." Kinda funny though how sight is clearer when the eyes (and I's) are gone. |

| Quote: | Whilesover there is any meaning read into what appears as these postings, it is all concepts battling concepts... one idea opposing another... useless.
That to which the concepts: "seeing/colours, hearing/sounds, feeling/feelings, smelling/odours, tasting/flavours and knowing/meaning (collectively called 'consciousness)" points, is the 'reality'... 'self evident'... evident to 'self' (consciousness) ... plain simple clear no argument, no one to argue with.
'Consciousness' has no need of concepts to point to that which is 'consciousness'.
It's play... another idea

Let's hug! 
Most of this post is clear and lovely - I'm stroking your hair now - do you have any? Yes, I'm a little bit creepy
| Quote: |
Forget about David's hand. Look at your own... what do you see? Describe it. Not just the shape but ‘what’ it is. What is a ‘hand’? Impossible to describe in words, yet it is known!
|
Image, shape, colour etc. sensation, concept of 'hand' (subtle sound seemingly creating apparent meaning) There is no 'hand' apart from this.
There is no hand. (funny word that  )
| Quote: |
Turn your hand and look at it. What do you see? Does it appear different to the shape you saw before? Is the 'meaning' 'hand' (not the word, but that which is known) the same... even though the shape appears to be different?
|
Sometimes there is no meaning 'hand' - just image. Meaning comes and goes. It is not constant. When it comes up it is believed to somehow have existed when it didn't! This is the illusion of a continuous, meaningful reality or meaning called 'hand'. There is no such hand. There is no such continuous meaning.
| Quote: |
Close your eyes, what/where is the hand that is no longer seen?
|
There is no hand. Now there is no image. There is sensation - and concept 'hand' - or not.
| Quote: |
Looking at exactly the same appearance, see it from the perspective of a fly.
|
That's a good trick, how d'you do that?!!
| Quote: |
What ‘thing’ does the ‘hand’ now seem to be? Yes, this is just a conceptual game. But it points to that which is beyond concept, to that which knows all concepts/meaning.
|
It doesn't really, I'm afraid. That which is beyond concepts isn't well pointed to by conceptual games. Or by emphasizing the seeming continuity of concepts like 'hand'
There are no such anchors. There only seem to be.
Makes life seem less scary for the seemingly continuous meaning called 'me'.
I'm sure we're on the same side, really.

Actually, after it had gone all quiet, I cautiously peaked in and spied the tiger's lopped-off head rolling on the floor....

Reminds me of an old blind native-Canadian woman I used to 'know'---a first-rate hunter, who would often be the only one in her extended family to bring home the venison!
love,
sara

Hi godindrag, you're more than a bit creepy... you're a real shithead.
So why am I laughing
You know, there is more to 'concepts' than meets the eye.   
You really do know a WHOLE lot more than you think 
Love

hey sara, I reckon you're cheating. ... but you picked "The Zombie Jamboree" in ONE.
I reckon you looked these words up on the world wide web... better watch out for the world wide spider though, or you maya get tangled in a web of deceit.
And what the heck is ROTFLOL? 
Love

Nope, I think a hell of a lot more than I know. I just don't think that what I think is what I know any more... Lay your burden down, man!
Less is more

The thought that thinks it thinks... is thought... it thinks.
Who thinks this? What is thought... "buggered if I know"... thinks thought.
The 'I' that doesn't know, doesn't exist.
Laughs nervously...
Lays burden softly down...
Looking, looking... nope, no burden here
Love
