: Ok Steve, I agree to debate this topic. I
: have always enjoyed your input. I will get
: started tomorrow. One thing I think you
: are taking issue with is his: "When
: sincerity is unconditional, it unveils
: itself." I think you Steve might say
: "it is always unveiled"? Am I on
: the right track?

I'd say it is omnipresent and always in our line of vision, Raymond. For a variety of reasons we sometimes sense separation from it, but that is (what the Hindu mystics might characterize as) illusion. It is (as Laozi says) THIS! or THAT! or HERE!
No separation. Nothing to unveil. Immediate.
If in this particular moment or that one I don't "feel" the above, there's no problem. My personal chemistry and filters can be fickle at times.
(I've always enjoyed our discussions, rat, and look forward to revisiting this topic.)
