Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

When you seek after something, there is only pain. But when the pain is yourself you look at it. But like you work the land and if you keep working at the land the 'right' way, later fruits come back chasing you.

Si, it's interesting that you and I come from two vastly different sets of conditioning. I'm not sure I understand this gate business, but when I perceive bliss or something amazingly beautiful or there is emptiness, I just don't feel the need to stay. Not sure this is explained well at all....am going away to look into it.

I don't think you and I have different basic conditioning. But if you keep collecting knowledge then that knowledge acts in you. You see something new for a moment from that knowledge but soon it becomes memory. Is that not your new conditioning?

Without knowledge, accumulation of memory which dulls the mind, I find that the beauty, the amazing of life is always there, not exhaustible. Sometimes I fall back due to headache for a day or two, but with learning the regain of beauty is always there.

Who is collecting knowledge?

"...but with learning the regain of beauty is always there." Who is regaining?

Yes, thank you.

What is the word I'm thinking of, tree, that means the psychological release that is a catharsis? I have been trying to remember it...
