Quantum Enlightenment: First Meeting






I am Me,
centred in a Reality that I observe.
...and...
You are You,
the centre of your observation
of Reality.


In different Illusions:
saint and slave, hero and coward,
sage and fool, sensei and saddhu,
lover and pariah, soldier and teacher,
     enlightened
     damned

But for me to predict,
  based upon the Now
   of our shared illusion,
just what I will become to you,
   would be precipitous...
observation affects outcome.

Interesting thought...

I think you are quite right althought I have no idea why.

I've thought of things like these until my head hurt. And when finally I realized I just don't know.

And I'm ok with that.

Quantum Enlightenment...

What does that mean to you?

I ask because it does not matter what it means to me only what it means to you.

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
