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

on the practical front, it seems to me that a nondualist could reject selfhood yet embrace the metaphor of a cell within an organism, with an immune system that can attack diseased cells.
Mah blastid immyoon syssm evn uhttax NON-dizeezd cellz! :( :( If onlee ah cood shoot 'at ole immyoon syssm dayud with mah shootin' ahrn! Problim iz ahd kiyull the karkuss at the same tahm, so ah gotta fahnd sum uther slooshn! Ewe got inny ahdeez?
(Sorree this ain't the innelekshl typa rspons yew wuz hopin fer. Butchoo know, iss jis li'l ole me...>g<)
Hav fun sparrin at that thar site 'atchoo'z so 'ddictid to. :)
FG, how nice of you to drop by! afraid i'm not qualified to offer medical advice. if i were religious, i'd suggest prayer, and i'm not trying to be funny. that does make me wonder, a few years back, there were government studies that showed prayers made people better; what was your reaction to it?
Nevr feer, MasserMahnd, ah dint ixpeck no meddikl 'dvahss fer mah ole karkiss (tho ah'd nivr hezit8 ta ask fer meddikl dvahss fer the ole laptop! >g<).
Now, YW, donchoo thank Granny'z trahd prayr? Plenny ov it, fer umpteen yeerz! Whut folk don unnerstan izzat prayr ain't sum sorta "push-the-button-n-activ8-the-celestial-slot-machine" deal. It ain't a fancy rabbit's foot, or a amyoolit. First 'n foremoss, iss cummyoonikatin with yer Creaddr.
Prayer kin be praze, thanksgivin, a kweschun, a ixpreshn ov feelinz (happiniss, bewildrmint, fear, angr, sadniss, exc.), innerceshn fer summun or sumpin, n lass but not leess, it kin be a rekwest/puhtishn---fer wizdum er insight, fer help bowt sumpin, or fer healin.
God ain't the hevnlee Santa. He'z the hevnlee Fathr. Thar'z a HYOOOJ differnss.
Az fer "studeez" bowt spurtchull stuff, ah woon't place mah truss in thim (speshlee not if iss the guvmint). The WORD haz the fahnl word bowt 'at relm, n the WORD don say 'at heelin' iz gurnteed (in this life), only that He iz abl.
Bess,
FG
