I know that feeling. I try to use SEP and IEP, but they can be so freakishly dense. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 31/03/2017 05:28:34 PM

I'm currently leaning towards "Was I created with intent?"

The answer, of course, is that "I" is an illusion, and that the real truth is that everything is subject to anicca. Realizing this is the first step to freeing yourself from the Wheel of Time, I mean, er, samsara...

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
