"Madge," the raincoat, the blind man, and the sunset. (excerpt from post to the newsgroup - alt.meditation) Jeff: There are no short cuts to the Supreme Being because there is no separation from Supreme Being. There is nowhere to go and nothing to do, as every child knows. Michael: Then everybody is a Perfect Saint? Bruce: Potentially, yes. Jeff: You're soaking in it (Madge). Michael: If we are soaking in it, why are we dancing to the tune of the devil, and increasing our load of sins everyday? Bruce: Because we are wearing what amounts to a perceptual raincoat, the occluding and distorting englobement of thought. --- Bruce: Beautiful, Jeff, welcome back to the noisy town square. Michael: What's beautiful about it? Bruce: A blind man cannot see a sunset and asks the same question, there is no effective answer for him or for you.
