ethereal--That's very cool. You're experiencing an important fundamental shift in perspective that represents an important growth stage. The basic pattern is that the subject of the previous stage has become the object of the present stage. In other words, what you were experiencing before (eg attachment) becomes what you observe now. Which means that the experience that arises from this observation will eventually become an object to be observed. So keep observing, but don't get attached to attachment. And I'd worry more about how you live what you have realized than how you articulate it; the deeper realization that will allow you to restate it more succinctly will come through practice of the principle itself.
Royce_aus--Can't say I blame you; I have spent some quality time with the Bible, but at the time it was compiled, it was never intended that the masses would ever get their grimy, peasant hands on a Bible. There is a book out there -- the name escapes me at the moment -- that consists only of the direct quotations directly attributed to Jesus. It's about 25 pages. I still recommend eventually coming around to the big book, but by far the most valuable parts in my opinion are the Sermon on the Mount and the parables, all attributed to him. |
