Nay. No fun for them. Ever.              None are able to be simply,       simply to be for the Being that is.              A myth may say, Being is. Bliss is. And       going further, consciousness is. Sat-chit-ananda.              Once existence exists, devolution occurs.

Existence is.       Then, a cause, causes, a reason, reasons, emerge.       Carving is what carvers carve out of what is, naturally, Uncarved.              To place reason prior to existence, one can.       One cans a can full of worms and may box with a box       of being, being how frogs are and sea-turtles know how to swim.              >In the mean time, I know you as a separate awareness.              Given: Tao Chia, assuming that's a topic among topics.       While the well-frog was astonished at the sea-turtle's domain,       at the same time the sea-turtle remained unable to get       beyond a knee in to where the well-frog dwelled.              > I must deal       >with you in terms of that separateness.              Well, if you must then       then you must then.              > To assume other realities is       >not useful simply because I am ignorant concerning what is really       >going on.              Assuming a really, really is, going on.              - naturally!
