: Steve,
:
: If what you are trying to say is what J.
: Krishnamurti said about paths, then we may
: actually be in agreement more than either of
: us might suspect.
:
: "Freedom is found in the choiceless
: awareness of our daily existence and
: activity". J. Krishnamurti
:
: From this perspective, our only choice is to
: give up our choices. But even choicelessness
: starts with a choice. The journey of a
: thousand miles begins with the first step.
:
: Freedom is pure observation without
: direction. Freedom is without motive.
: Without a prescribed method. Freedom is the
: destination. The journey is the destination.
: Freedom is wu-wei.
:
: Butch

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

Every declarative sentence--even Krishnamurti's above--is a potential minefield. You and I need to stop talking declaratively, Butch.

But you see, even there I'm speaking declaratively.

So I have three options: Slit my wrists, stop speaking forever, or go to bed.

I think I'll go to bed.
