Do you classify "having dementia" a story? That was your "story" or explanation yesterday. Is this story now being dropped? Or is the "story" that MMY is simply an unexplainable paradox being dropped? (Prior "stories"). Is it a "story" -- your evaluation of others as having an unfulfilled father issues in explaining other's behavior towards MMY? Or is that "purely experienced"? > But now you can't then take the counter > position and say that his personality is "perfect." It > is neither flawed nor perfect. If you drop all stories > you just have pure experience left. Is it really possible to "drop all stories" and experiencing someone or something "purely"? Doesn't all experience have some intermediary level of interpretation? I equate interpretation as "story". How are you defining "story"? Is it different from interpretation? If one is to believe the claimants to Brahman on this list, even THAT is an understanding -- which implies to me it is an interpretation of an experience. And doesn't leesha-vidya and "personality" provide a layer of interpreation on "the world" which differentiates the relative views of those who are Blazing Brahman? For example, MMY and SSRS apparently view the UK differently on the surface level. They have different "stories" about it. So, again I am trying ot get to the point of is it really possible to "drop all stories" and experiencing someone or something "purely" -- even in Brahman? > And that > experience varies from person to person. Why does the experience vary from person to person if there is no intermediary level of interpreation or story? >For me MMY is > absolute Brahman and that Brahman moves in profoundly > mysterious ways to awaken to itself.

This is not a critic of your statements. Rather, your posts bring up (some times subtle) distinctions, sometimes apparent contradictions, which if explained, would make your points clearer -- if not profound.
