I know. This one seemed to bring out the funnies in some people. It's good to laugh.

Avant-Garde,
I am laughing at some of the comments below, Whacky's about the FedEx and UPS guy, and the comment on Deliverance the movie (ick, I don't even want to remember it).
However, on the serious side, yes, I feel that the redoing gave much insight. I stopped struggling for answers and started living.

No, it's not anything really. It's completely original stuff. I think it up and put it down. But, you know, is anything ever original? I have read numerous mystics and have been influenced by Hindu and Buddhist mystics the most.

That's good to hear. I would like to help people help themselves. I think communicating in a clear and coherent manner is part of it. By the way, I love reading your work and you can send it anytime.

So this is middle eastern philosophy?

Nothing to be sorry about. It took me a long time to admit that I didn't understand things to people. It's called courage.
When a problem exists, it is imagined that the thing outside of you is responsible for it being there. Thus, we tend to look outside ourselves for 'solutions'. The problem with this is that we find ourselves entangled in our problems again and again.
What if our problems existed solely because we were looking for solutions? Would they exist at all otherwise? Could we be blaming others out of a frustration of not being able to find our way out of them?
Let's say for whatever 'reason', I am unhappy. I compare myself constantly with others, who have more. No matter how I try, how much knowledge I accumulate, how much money I make, I am still left empty and miserable. The moment I see that my desire for happiness is the 'cause', I discontinue searching and making myself unhappy. It is an undoing of unhappiness.
What we humans have so hard a time with is in thinking that we need be nothing to be perfectly happy, content, and peaceful.

I remember when I first started reading J. Krishnamurti. I would scratch my head and think, 'what the...'? But, when all my analysis would fall silent, the words suddenly made sense.

Yes. We think what causes our undoing is a loss, but it is really the source of rebirth and a change in consciousness on the whole affair.

I keep seeing your comment and it makes me laugh. You know, I watched this movie at work again about a week ago. I don't live too far from these types of people.

Yes, you would indeed be delivered, if you imagined being destroyed. How would the bear behave if you weren't defensive? Absence is indeed situational, and depends on circumstances. Nothingness is the realization that situations do not determine immortality.

Oh dear,
I'll have to change MY name to whacky, but "Squeal like a pig" seems to overrule my serious side tonight. I'm sorry ....... many here are too young to remember "Deliverance," "Dueling Banjos" and all that but they're savvy young ones and I'm getting into trouble the more I say................ Cee ya!

Avant-Garde, now this one I understood perfectly
I have been my own undoing on more than one occasion. However, since coming undone, I've been redone.

A bit on the heavy side. If I am in the clutches of a bear and you rescue me, do you not infact deliver me out of harms way? You did not create the situation. Nothingness is different from absence only absence rather than nothingness is in this is not here. Only the absence of immediate danger in this situation only. You are doing some deep posts lately, nice.
