Wonderful! What you are describing is exactly the direction of my "process." The more the integral is the oneness the fuller is the emptiness, and the more radiant the whole, more silent, more beautiful, more perfectly like love. I have never heard anyone else describe the same process that I experience. I always felt I was "out there" on my own. It has taken a lot of trust not to lose my way. Thank you Donald.
I sense intuitively that this oneness is something truly cosmic. Since all things, processes and dimensions of being a completely empty, and in emptiness there is no separation, then all things ultimately must completely interpenetrate. In the end it must be just as the Avatamsaka Sutra describes, with 10, 000 Buddha fields in a grain of sand. I cannot actually know this interpenetration, but I can feel something of it in the process you describe, within my own personal universe. Maybe some day You question on dana parami inspired me. Maybe I will do a video on the subject. I will let you know. Daniel --- In [email protected], Jue Miao Jing Ming - 覺å¦ç²¾æ <chan.jmjm@...> wrote: > > Again Daniel, > > I was in a rush early. Sorry.
