: Would you then suggest, with what you
: suggest above, that those that take a
: literal view of these ancient metaphysical
: texts, or depend upon anothers
: interpretation of these ancient metaphysical
: texts, are wrong? Wrong, in that, they have
: no self-knowledge of what is written in

: Another great, and difficult, question.
:
: The Really Really Wise Ones suggest that
: there are infinite depths, or degrees, of
: 'getting it.' I may think I 'get it,'
: whether I sense it directly or trust in what
: someone else tells me, but I may be off
: track. Or maybe I get it, but only
: partially. Or maybe I don't get it at all.
:
: Regardless, I have faith that there is no
: fundamental problem in the universe, and
: that all is well. That I am safe.
:
: So, I don't lose sleep at night fretting
: over where I am at the moment on the Great
: Cosmic 'With-it' Scale.

:
:
:
:
: Do i what?
:
: Do i 'get it' or do i not lose any sleep at
: night worrying over whether i do 'get it' or
: not?
:
: In any case the answer to both would be, nah
: not really.
