Question: You mention that there are forces that hold “things” together. There is impermeability. There are no hard edges or boundaries. At one point, for example, you state there are no surfaces to atoms, it’s all pushes and pulls. Not trying to sound too mystical, but would you expect that as we awaken we would be more aware of the bigger picture and these forces and energies that interconnect us? That everything is just part of the stream? Just wanted to see if I’m understanding this correctly.
Response: Just for the record, the term “impermeability” is not in The Grand Delusion. With full Awakening, there’d be Awareness of Totality—but at this point I would not refer to Awareness as though it came in degrees. Nor would I characterize what is going on as “forces and energies that interconnect us.” (The problem here has to do with the idea “interconnect us.”) As for, “part of the stream,” in view of Totality, it would be obvious that there is only what appears as stream, not “things.” Blue sky, for example, is scattering light. A process, not a thing. Comments are closed.
