: Greetings All,
:
: Today, I heard the saying, "same but
: different". When i first heard these
: words, oh so many years ago, it reminded me
: of the days when i could just see the
: difference, or the commonality of things.
: So, when i ask myself, gar, what is
: enlightenment i think back to the time when,
: 'this and that dissolved into a state where
: duality is lost.
:
: Reality now appeares to me through three
: eyes, one eye fo this, another eye for that,
: and a third eye for neither, this or that.
------------
Beautiful, gar.
The differences are all semantic. I become more convinced of that with each passing day.
