Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 Dan, with the Advaita or neti-neti (not this, not that) insight, you can reinterpret the Bible from nondualist view. Now I wander how the 10 Commandments would look like. " I am That. You are That. Thou shalt do nothing (unless otherwise specified by your biological and enviromental conditioning). Thou shalt just be (until a desired response is triggered by the genetical and cultural code)...um...In Beingness there was no separate 'thou' or 'Me' anyway other than what evolved in the bio-chemical software of the brain... " Hmm...somehow this is not as dramatic as the biblical play.

I'm not sure what was harder: you interpreting Moses, or Moses interpreting you. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 I like this, Dan. I'm not sure what was harder: you interpreting Moses, or Moses interpreting you. Jerry Whoeeee, Jerry. Your voice is like a thousand rushing winds. I heard you, and Moses tells me he did, too! Rest always in/as your indivisible self! (Remember the Sabbath, to keep it wholely!)
