From IP_SEC: "poppers and eclipse, I respectfully reply "BOLLOCKS" You speak and read. You have words that define you even if those words are "NOTHING" "NOTHINGNESS" "NO THING". Zero (0) is still a number last I checked." ......... It is the words/ideas that are used to define oneself that trap one in illusion. Who/what would you be without those words and ideas? Find out. The "nothingness" that is found is not a nothingness devoid of meaning, life, or awareness, just of ideas. What is found is pregnant with the possibility for infinite expression - that is true fullness. One of those expressions is the IDEA of SELF, but that idea is just thought; beneath and beyond the thought of "me" remains the reality of what you really are. The limitations of language fail utterly to express "that which is found" to the satisfaction of the mind, hence the appearance of contrary ideas which further confuse the mind. The critical step in finding out what you really are is to drop all limited ideas/words about one's real identity and then simply rest in what is found that never changes.
Good description, eclipse - it's as accurate as "words" can be.

Yes I lived 18 years with mom and dad. They shaped who I am for better or worse.
Of course there is always a greater resolution at which a personality can be viewed. I didnt think board ownership would appreciate taking up a terabyte of hard drive space with my list. So its kind of a "top ten" sort of thing
Me in words
Beautiful
Organic
Luscious
Lady
Orgasmic
Cute
Kranky
Suprised?

poppers I hope you didnt think I was implying that you are nothing (devoid of meaning) I know from your posts what you mean by "nothing" and I have read extensivly on the topic myself. I meditate daily and bask in nothingness.

Is this not an IDEA in itself?
hence the appearance of contrary ideas which further confuse the mind.
I have no contrary ideas. I am completely self-consistant. One reason is I did not stop at the point you now are. I broadened my mine even further.
.Stephen: [speaking heavenward] Him? That can't be William Wallace. I'm prettier than this man. All right Father, I'll ask him.
Stephen: [to William] If I risk my neck for you, will I get a chance to kill Englishmen?
Hamish: Is your father a ghost, or do you converse with the Almighty?
Stephen: In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to God.
From IP_SEC: "poppers I hope you didnt think I was implying that you are nothing (devoid of meaning)" ...... No, I didn't think that. "I know from your posts what you mean by "nothing" and I have read extensivly on the topic myself. I meditate daily and bask in nothingness."........ That's great. "....Is this not an IDEA in itself?" Yup, it sure is. But when we are stuck using words to communicate we bump up against this sort of inconsistency. So, use the words to get beyond the words. "Contrary ideas" can only appear when there is mind functioning; you are that in which mind appears. The point of my posts is to point this out, and to point out the root of suffering: mistaking one's ideas of self for one's true nature, which transcends all ideas.
