Uba: > Has anyone permanently disidentified ? (Another good one.) Perhaps that-s part of the illusion of the trap. "I must get permanently disidentified." And even then, like J.Krishnamurti said, then that-s what-s there. It feels like, most of the time, the answer is in the question. > perhaps on a...

Uba: > Let's say not ... there is something beyond the mind and body, and WE ARE THAT. Wonderful statement, thank you. And, if That is beyond body and mind, and let-s say "the world", what is the relationship between That and the Rest ? Where does the World, or the Rest begin, and where That ? Where...

> Has anybody experienced anything close to these experiences?
