So it appears. Seen, said, heard. Same. Suchness.

Edgar,
Of course Realisation is not something that happens only inside
monastry walls, but it also doesn't come from understanding words
like "ontological" and "cognitive simulation model" either.

Mike,
There are certainly times it is, but that can happen at any time....
Realization is not just something that occurs inside monastery
walls... It has nothing to do with that... It's just opening to
reality and reality is everywhere...

Edgar,
Wouldn't you say tho, that reality is less obscured during, or just
after, a long retreat of meditation?

Mike,
Well, it's reality either way, but that reality is always changing
as happening continually flows through the present moment. But
however it changes it is still reality....

Edgar,
Would you say that the world (inner/outer) you look at now is the
same as when you're at the end of a sesshin?

Therefore, although each of us is complete, we need to practice
diligently at all times with no objective in mind?
