Re: Help deciding what, if anything, to do with my life.

What good is is entirely dependent on who you are. “entirely.” An absolute term. Simple statements in absolute terms, most appreciated. The first sentence is understandable as a premise for a view. I’ve known people who have the view: hate the sin and not the sinner. This suggests that good and evi...

Love is as empty and impermanent as was Osho.
That describes everything.

The dizzy is from an unbalanced wobble, like a top, which spins faster to be still.

Re: Transcendence

Hi Dan,

What is "you" and what is it "transcending"?

“You” is defined as awareness.

“What” is defined as limitations.

So we can say that transcendence means awareness transcending limitations.
