Now that looks like Zen. I've been reading about it recently in a
book. It says that distinctions like "exist" and "don't-exist" are
infact only products of our minds and need to be discarded in order to
"acheive oneness"... looks like a ten year project to me, since
everything I know and beleive is based on the idea that these
distinctions /are/ valid. Long journey, but one I think would be worth
while. Anyone want to donate $100000 so that I can take a few years off
and meditate on Zen?
