no separation

10/31/2020

 
​Question:  In your book, “Mind” seems rather impersonal.  There is no God, there is awareness.  Buddhists do have compassion.  Do you think that there are forces that connect us all, that really, we ARE that force?  There is no separate “you” and “me” deep down, in reality.  Is that a valid way of picturing it? 
 
Response:  I do not argue that there is no God in The Grand Delusion.  I do not argue that there is.  Compassion comes with not losing sight of the Whole.  And while at first blush this may seem impersonal, in actuality this is thoroughgoing warmheartedness.  There is no need to connect what cannot be separated.
