Avant Garde, I can't even grasp this one
Never mind. Infinity is playing with my mind again! It isn't the first time.

As I see it --- therefore there is no end, no beginning, only infinity (Ben Casey). Time does not exist so how could there be any defining of it?

There you have it. The appearance of endlessness exists solely to understand what it is not. By realizing that the idea of endlessness needs an ending of something in order to exist, one can easily see beyond the duality of the description. When this comes to rest, what is real manifests.

Avant-Garde, I've re-read this several times
and one part still puzzles me, the idea that what appears to be endless really isn't, because I've always understood the concept of no-mind or of God as being infinite and beyond comprehension. How can it be known or comprehended? The need for me to have an ending is an illusion, I believe.
But accepting that I'm in over my head and letting go and floating with that, instead of pushing the stream (or the envelope) is still a daily struggle with me.

I hope all turns out well for you. And, how you interpret it is how it was meant. Thank you, too.

I used to take how I felt when I wrote for granted. Now, I wonder if the feeling is what is truly conveyed.

Your opinion as usual is very balance and you don't generalise matters. It would have been unfair to lump them all together. I have gone round Latin America and think I can understand what you are talking about. Another I have noticed with Latin Americans is that besides degrading others, they are very racist. Or should I say those I have come across. But I try just like two make a difference between the good and the bad onesn. Once again thank you .

A practical interpretation
The washing cycle has just finished. Taggerty my daughter's favourite bear has been through the wool cycle and I've been thinking about him spinning around and around and hope it hasn't damaged him. Better go and hang him up to dry. Fingers crossed.

Food for deep thought.
When there is pain, if you keep focussing your mind on that place where there is pain and feel the pain, it vanishes. Maybe the same here.

Avant -
An ending implies a beginning, but neither truly exists for one who has stepped through the veil. A good post to get me thinking.

"...A true ending carries with it no ashes of that which has gone before it."
This is an amazing verse. And the question you pose has caused me to truly search myself for answers. Thank you for sharing.
