Subject: [K-list] Re: Dr. Trasi's "Basic Tenets of Advaita" Point 4:
From: Christopher Wynter

My perception of this is that the writer is coming from
his head trying to fit into an authority or reference
what he knows ..

trying to describe his ideas of what it should be within
the framework of a mistranslation of the definition of
illusion ..

Illusion is by definition, illusory .. so are the words ..
until they are used as authority.

The moment authority is given to words .. to a particular
perspective, then this authority is the filter through which
all experience is perceived.

Thus, then, the perception becomes prejudiced ..
 and enlightenment is lost ....

I would be more interested if he were to write
from personal experience without trying to justify
his position.

If he cannot to this, then he is no more enlightened
that the paper he has covered with sound to which
there is already ascribed past meaning ..

Dead words from long dead authors ..
to keep consciousness consigned to the realms
of the idealogical conflict of East and West ..

Now .. if the words were alive, they would show the
author had an understanding coming from wisdom,
not a paradigm coming from someone else's mind
into which he is trying to fit his own ideas ..

Wisdom and understanding, within their simplicity,
are immutable .. contain within them both aspects
of S'va as <creator-destroyer> ..

and find their expression equally in all dimensions
of consciousness interpenetrated ...

Just my humble opinion ..
