Guest guest Posted March 18, 2001 Report Share Posted March 18, 2001 Hi Ed! With regards to the snippet of dialogue below: Sure, who's to know? Any time I offer a commentary about you as if I'm a mirror, although I can only guess about whether or not you find something in it -- it's sure to offer something about " me " and " my experience of my situation " . Otherwise, why choose those words that way, or attempt to point out that aspect of 'someone else' and what 'someone else' is imagined to be doing or imagined to be motivated by? Of course, if I'm comfortable with that view being found to reflect who I am, then I can be okay with the offering. If I am clear that the observed and the observer aren't apart, then what becomes of a mirror? It has no distance from what is reflected. It is this " no distance " that is " love " , " unconditional being " , " stillness " ... Peace, Dan > X: By being involved with what people think of you, or with > any other mechanisms of self-protection, the false personal > identity is reinforced and silent eternal beingness is veiled. E: If one were prone to forming conclusions, one might think your words here come from that very " false personal identity " that cares what people think of you.
