A personal blog by a graying (mostly Anglo with light African-American roots) gay left leaning liberal progressive married college-educated Buddhist Baha'i BBC/NPR-listening Professor Emeritus now following the Dharma in Minas Gerais, Brasil.
Have you ever experienced yourself without the world appearing? And have you ever experienced the world appearing without you? Is the boundary between self and world truly there, or is it something artificially created by human concepts like “my” body, “my” feelings, “my” thoughts?
Notice what happens to the sense of self when the usual dividing through language pauses for a moment. What do you perceive when you stop seeing the world and yourself through the lens of language and no longer assume separation?
