And For My Soul, What Can It Do To That, Being A Thing Immortal As Itself?

Thank you again for the blunt in-your-faceness that you always put forth. I always have to read your posts two or three times, then roam about, mull over them, have heated arguments with a pretend you. Then I go about my business knowing I'm right and the pretend you is wrong. But in the end you always win. Meditation is blissful, but your message is empowering. Not that it matters, but that's my two cents.
Wow Crazy, feel privileged that anything written by these hands on these keys could be stimulating enough to cause you to roam around your home like a nutcase, having heated arguments! Your two cents certainly matters. (What doesn't?) Thank you so much for your comment. In the story that seems to unfold, great pleasure arises!
Hey Suzanne! What a wonderful post. I understand what the Crazy Pianist is saying. I, too, have to read these a couple times myself so that it soaks in. But there's always a smile, like I know a little secret or something. S'good, s'good.

Everything you have ever been looking for is staring you in the face,
Unless a hippo is staring you in the face, which is more than everything you've looking for by a considerable margin.
Hey Gorilla, that's just oneness, hippo-ing. No better or worse than any other apparent happening, but perhaps slightly smellier!
Hey Mike, it's no less than The Secret Of Life! You've know it too, you know. You can't not know it!
Curses! Foiled again.
Pardon typo. "You know it too, you know."
You got it sweetie
the secret to living
is to keep the mood up
and don't make anything important

(not even this)
thank you
Hi Suzanne, do you think that there could be a relationship between meditation and self-realization?
Hey Rhondell, fantastic name. You're welcome!
Hi kiwiyogi, honoured by your visit and question. Well...I suppose there often seems to be some cause and effect around meditation and self-realization. But there is no cause and effect; there is no time; this is wholeness; now. There will never be any future in which realization "will" happen. Awareness is now, always now. Always available, always everything. Meditation may certainly happen, and bring with it a blissful, unfettered state. Yet all states are this. Meditating or practicing other various disciplines to still the mind and unclutter the conditioned being can bring about life-shattering realizations; yet this is a story, the story of realization attained after much work and self-denial. However, all stories depend upon passing time, and there is no time. Just this ever present moment. So, surely there is nothing wrong with meditation towards the goal of self-realization; but liberation is this, now, always already attained.
Whew! Went on a bit there. Thanks for the stimulation kiwi!
Okay, so it seems that the average reader of your blog is well versed in advaita philosophy and despite knowing better is still enmeshed in the story of being someone.
How do they exfiltrate the sticky story and realize the ever present moment?
Hi Kiwi, I'll do my best to answer you - and so many others, "what should I do" seems to be the Big Question - in the next blog entry.
Mind you, I can only spend so much "time" on it. Going shopping today for the Americans back in London - they need their Frito Lay corn chips and Butterfinger candy bars!
