It’s never
the idea of the person though the person appears in it. It is like we are in
the ocean and asking for directions to the water, to the ocean, and speaking to
one another. Strange. The entire thing is highly strange. Another strange idea
is that in non-duality, in its purest sense, since everything is IT and nothing
is not IT, one’s virtues, as far as we can say honestly and responsibly, don’t
matter. What an impossible message. They might matter in apparent time, or in
reincarnation and life review, and in many other ways. But, as for pure
non-duality, they don’t matter, because if you walk past a jail and a good man
is walking along the street outside, going to do charity work, and a bad man is
in the yard, non-duality, though it isn’t anything, is nothing less than
everything. Therefore it is in the shirt, the fabric of the shirt of the bad
man and the good man. The way the sun reflects off the button on the bottom of
the sleeve of the bad man and off the button on the bottom of the sleeve of the
good man. Non-duality is that thing that is so impersonal that talking about it
is never it.
