Pattern Interruption Non-News has no informational value, just potential experiential value. [Food-for-thought, by definition, comes with indigestion. If food-for-thought goes down easy, it's not food-for-thought but just brain-candy.]
I write this freely, unafraid of self-contradiction. And I encourage you to read this blog with the same attitude of interpretive freedom.

Buddhist monk, atman, brahman, conciousness, mind, mirror, reflection Tuesday, March 2, 2010 I know you’ve been caught too long polishing a mirror you didn’t want to be reflected in.
Been in that mirror myself, the Polisher.

neither I, the slave, nor my master are what the mirror of Nonduality reflects.
We both, I and my master, are free.
I know that much about not-knowing.
slave (n).
c.1290, "person who is the property of another," from O.Fr. esclave, from M.L. Sclavus "slave" (cf. It. schiavo, Fr. esclave, Sp. esclavo), originally "Slav" (see Slav), so called because of the many Slavs sold into slavery by conquering peoples. (source: etymonline)
Slav, Slavic, consciousness, duality, mind, mirror, nonduality, slavery News programming conditions. Non-News Mindstream de-conditions and de-programs.
Do I stand by any of these thoughts? Not when I sit (in meditation).
