3W 44

As long as we are identified with an object: that is bondage.

As long as we think, act, live via an object, or as an object: that is bondage.

As long as we feel ourselves to be an object, or think we are such (and a 'self' is an object): that is bondage.

  1. The solution to this seems to be: not to talk or think yourself our of this subject object split, which would only reinforce it, but to realize that there is no such divide anyway.

  2. Ta-Wan; Are you saying that the simple solution/answer to this is to not talk and think ourselves into it? Then we are suppose to just think/realize there is no divide? Please do not construe this question as arguing. I am just looking at your comment and scratching my head a little.

  3. Seems my phone wrote "our of it" instead of "out of it".

    No thinking is required I'd hope. A standing back from reason should place us back in the state of oneness.

    Any reasoning our way out of subject object simply reinforces the supposed problem that Wei Wu Wei speaks about.

  4. Your phone did not write that; you made a typo.

  5. While things are only the way they are your mistake here moves to your benefit as you can now learn about the new technology called Swype. Phones can indeed write the unexpected. Typo must be Swypo.
