:
: Nothing wrong with being a Christian or a
: Jew or a Daoist or a Buddhist or whatever,
: Butcho. Each tradition--understood through
: the heart--points to the same thing.
:
: The distinctions we draw through our
: individual perspectives are all valid, while
: in the same moment they are total and
: unequivocal bullshit.
:
: The only difference between your metaphysics
: and mine, Butcho, is that I have absolutely
: no problem whatsoever with the status quo.
: I lose no sleep over the issue of whether
: you or I are 'aware' or 'right' on the
: issues we discuss.
:
: I have total faith that there is no problem,
: anywhere, and that there is nothing
: fundamental that needs doing, anywhere or at
: any time.

: Steve

: Steve,
:
: To me the great traditions are all pointing
: at the same thing in different ways also.
:
: I do not believe anything said is totally
: this or that unless of course I happen to
: totally agree with what is being said. That
: is a horse of a different color.
:
: The status quo sucks. But then so does
: gravity.
:
: Chop wood, carry water. The same things that
: need to be done before enlightenment still
: need to be done after. Only from a different
: perspective.
:
: In my opinion it is meaningless to say that
: nothing needs to be done. For me it is only
: half the equation. Meaninglessness needs to
: be balanced by meaningmoreness otherwise
: meaninglessness is meaningless.
:
: Fact is the whole is greater than the sum of
: our parts.
:
: And yes, reification does have its place.
:
: Lian Dao is a curmudgeon. Lian Dao is a
: curmudgeon. Lian Dao is a curmudgeon.

He probably is, but why should that concern you?

Is your truth the same as mine or even Steven's?
