nondualists

i amused myself composing this little note, which i haven't posted, to a discussion on the objectivity or subjectivity of truth:

i hope no one will object if i attempt a little levity.

[QUOTE]if ___ see a ______ on the ____, kill ___. [/QUOTE]

while the blanks are proportional to the length of the words in the quote as commonly rendered, non-dualists can substitute whatever noun or pronoun suits them. if i were a non-dualist, i'd use mu or tao, they're concise. maybe they'd like to replace the verbs as well, but that might obscure the meaning. if mu mu a mu on the mu, mu mu, seems a bit cryptic.


for the life of me, i can't understand why able2know members haven't rushed over to check out my blog & make comments, since the URL appears as part of all my posts. but just in case they're lurking & not commenting, maybe this post will flush them out.

able2know.com update

i'm afraid i've become addicted to able2know.com. my handle there is yitwail, the same as this blog, for anyone interested. the last couple of days, i've just had a feast demolishing the arguments of a poor conservative fellow who needs to do more homework & critical thinking before committing his thoughts to the internet. he's just tossing me softballs, and i keep knocking them out of the park; it's embarassing almost, i should take it easy on the guy, but what should i do, bunt instead?

idle pursuit

the last couple of days, i've been hanging out at able2know.com, which is the biggest message board i've seen--not that i've seen very many. able2know claims that one could post a question there on any topic and expect a reply from somebody. while i haven't posed a question myself, nor found one i could answer, i have enjoyed playing a few trivia games there. a few minutes ago, i took a stab at the add-a-letter word game, changing unwist into Whitsun. that's allowable under the rules as i understand them, and twould be a bit of a stroke if it wins, ie. no one can make a new word from it. the other games i've played are non-competitive ones, where you can make a new song name or album title from a previous one, so long as the new one has at least one word in common with the old.

[incidentally, i've had to retype this because there was a blogger problem when i tried to publish it. from now on, i ought to select and copy the text with the browser before attempting to publish.]

[[and a good thing i did so, because blogger is broken & wouldn't allow me to create a new entry. btw, i did win a round of add-a-letter with Whitsun. :) ]]
