I am still mad but I couldn't resist.

If there are other paths, why can't we choose them?

I don't think anyone would ask, and it would be rude to tell them something they didn't ask to know...I don't think my foundations are shaking...if I did, I might seek some professional help...not tell my neighbors...I live in LA...I rarely SEE my neighbors let alone talk to them....;-).

Cop out?

I concur...it just so happens that I feel generally pretty good, as long as I keep up my practice, eat right (doh!), limit my beer/wine intake (doh! doh!), use less tobacco (doh! doh! doh!)...get plenty of rest (no doh...Im pretty good here) and exercise (little doh)...then I feel great!!!!

Which part of you is this? So you don't want to go further down the rabbit hole because you feel great?

But of course, you can't see light in a see of white, and how can you conceive of black in a sea of black?...duality! I hope I'm am getting close to graduating to something new...duality is getting old...how about Tri-ality...might that be next?...or perhaps Unity...nah!  |
In humanities' experience, duality is, always was and always will be. It does not age. Only perceptions of them change. To exclude one is to exclude the other. Acceptance of both as equals would naturally create unity, the one you dismissed.
I feel you dismiss me too. You dismiss my negative aspects. Why do you deny my dark side? Why are you being so nice? What are you afraid of? Does the content mean nothing to you? Is it truly just to hone your skills? Do I not know you at all? Maybe not, but one thing I know is this communication has helped me to better know myself.
Insanity is not in the darkness. Insanity is denying it.
Enjoy!
