In As You Like It, Shakespeare has also said that all the world is a stage and we're mere players. Words are what we mortals have as one form of communication, but sometimes something other than words rings true in our heart of hearts, at which time we step off the stage and are no longer players bu...

In the Quiet Room of the Zoofence website, Stefan also has posted a quote from The Cloud of Unknowing, which addresses the simplest way very beautifully, I think. This is a very old text and can be found on the Internet. Here is the quote. Take But A Little Word If you would have a naked intent dire...

I recently saw a movie called Stage Beauty. It take place in England during the reign of Charles II and focuses on an actor who plays the roles of woman in Shakespearean plays and is considered the best in the world. At that time, there was a law that barred women from acting professionally on the s...

Stefan, it's very interesting what you and this article say: Normal humans are good at seeing the big picture but bad at what Grandin calls “all the tiny little details that go into that picture”. For normal humans, the big picture isn’t created by accumulating lots of sensory details. It’s created ...

I like yours and the dictionary's definition of fundamental, Stefan; and I like your description of new age, NewMoonDaughter. For myself, I don't use the words, at least to speak with others, because it seems to me that both words have taken on a sociopolitical context in US culture for the most par...

I too have experienced what Anna calls spiritual expansions of consciousness, especially when I was in college in the early 80s. I was a diligent student and craved to learn everything I possibly could. I isolated myself in my books, and my experiences were frightening and unsettling. I felt like I ...

Work
I hit the post reply button under "Nisagardatta Quote" instead of the new topic button. So the last entry under the Nisagrardatta button is about "Work." Please find my work discussion there. I apologize for this mistake. It's not my first, and it won't be my last when it comes t...

Work
Swami Vivekananda, a disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, brought Vedanta Hinduism to the West. In his talks on karma yoga, her says that work can induce enlightenment as well as anything else in life. He says: You should work like a master and not as a slave. . . . Do you not see how everybody works? Nobod...

http://www.zoofence.com/forum/images/imiei/kathyspig.gif You're right, nothingness, what you have said is your contribution because humans express themselves (consciousness) through words and sensory organs. I also believe that I Am That is not a person but encompasses conscious persons playing wit...
