  Yes Aurora...I agree with you 100% there is absolutly no expereince.

  What I see is that some are having an experience of bliss...without actually "popping" out completly....I don't understand how that is possible.

  To "experience" anything...one has to be separated from it....you then are no longer "it" but the observer of "it". To expereince "it" is not it...but rather to be "it". No experience.... just being.

  Dear Vivian,

  I think I can follow you. There is this question of semantics, but my experience is the same- there is a place where we loose the "I-ness". And it is what we are, it is our own essence. What we call it doesn't really matter.

  Hi Keith,

  Thanks for your comments :)

  A few weeks ago I have written a few essays about the labyrinth on a blog. I mentioned it here on IB a couple of times but no one seemed interested. So I put them off again and have given all the texts to Harb, who wants to make a book of it :

  Dear Grace,

  I have mentioned the labyrinth as a walking meditation quite often in the past here on IB. I even made a 3D virtual labyrinth of peace on my computer based on some of Deepak Chopra's books and many people here have downloaded it.

  It's clear that this race is virtually over. It's all but a mathematical impossibility for Hillary Clinton to come out on top. The only realistic way she could prevail is if she somehow convinced the superdelegates that Obama was so badly damaged he simply could NOT be elected. Of course w

  Igor,

  experience tells me of a place of Beingness. That is not the same as I-ness. Existence doesn't need an "I" to exist. It needs an "I" to participate in a universe, even as an observer, because an observer has already separated from the observed.

  Dear Grace, yes, I think it is time for you to give up. Give up control. Of your feelings. I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but I've felt you've been really unhappy for a while but have had a smile on top of it. So why not ask yourself what exactly is wrong?

  It might have been OK if Hillary kept campaigning without tearing down our nominee. But I guess she just couldn't help herself. USA Today said she made "blunt" comments about race, and that is an act of criminal understatement. She's not even trying to hide it anymore.

  It seems -- in her last desperate act -- Hillary is using the "black guy can NEVER be America's president, at least NOT when I am running for presidency" argument to claim the nomination.
