What are we free to choose in a world of millions of illusions? Not one of

them is true(eternal)?And for all their seeming differences they are still

illusions.I do have my preferences,but isn't the only real choice between

truth and illusion?I am not free to establish what that choice is ,as it is

the only one?And in the end since illusions are not real ,they can only be

believed in,but can not be made into reality ,except in my fantasies, thus

the only"choice"  there is, is to choose the truth, which once chosen makes

clear that all illusions never were at all!What kind of "choice" is

that?Perhaps my only freedom is to choose the moment in the illusion of

time/maya when I remember the eternal,and wake up from the dream of duality

in which choice seems to exist?When Buddha was questioned as to how he was

different from others, he answered,"I am awake!"While we believe

in/experience our dreams,it seems we must make decisions,but in the

end,perhaps there is only the choice to awaken?A frustrated free will fanatic

My thoughts entirely Dave,

 

Never has there been a more appropriate time for man to "wake up"

Often as I was growing up I was told sternly to "wake up to yourself" of course

neither Mother nor I ever knew the reality behind those words...it was just a

saying.

 

But the divine reality behind those words is very clear today. My prayer is that

mankind's full awakening from mind's dream (presently a nightmare) is not far

away. I think when people are having a good dream it's more difficult to wake

up, but when that dream becomes a nightmare the desire to awaken becomes

stronger...more effort is made.

 

Bin Laden is having his dream and it has horrible consequences........
