The boy says you're mind (and everything else) is like an elephant you see in a dream. It doesn't exist, but it appears. It appears, but it doesn't exist.
What do you think, Jack? Well, the mind (and everything else) has got to exist in some kind of a way or you'd be into nihilism. So maybe it exists, just not the way you think it exists.
I'll try that one on the mother in law this afternoon. If she goes for it, I'll try the existing and non-existing at the same time.
I had a fabulous meditation this morning. Stopped after an hour and forty minutes because I'd lost track of the time and didn't want to be late.
Mind doesn't have any characteristics, and is unfindable, but it is is there. You know it's there, don't you? Even when you've lost it, you'll know it's there.
Newmains has been cut back to one night staying there a week. At least for this week. Hurrah!

I like very much the idea of not existing. But yesterday was a really bad day.
Hope your week goes well.
Marie! You bear your troubles with great stoicism!! Hope you're feeling better today!! Hotboy
Your mind may be without characteristics, but speak for yourself. Mine is in jackboots.
Good luck converting the maw outlaw but surely she's suffered enough! Try and let go of the spiritual imperialist urges, I would have thought the timist experience might have put you off.
PS have you heard of the religion based on The Big Lebowski? I can send you a link.
