Great cartoon in yesterday’s paper… Pearls Before Swine…Goat and rat are seated at a bar.

Goat says… “After a lot of thought I think I’ve figured out something.  That the point of life is learning that there is no ‘I’.  That we are all part of one whole.  Thus, the Golden Rule – ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’ because to harm others is to harm yourself.  And that’s the goal.  To have that understanding that there is no self.  That we, all of us, are one.”

Rat says… “You ate two of my peanuts.”

Goat says… “I think you are missing my point.”

Rat says… “I’m missing my @#$%^@&^ peanuts.”

Sigh!

I exist in a bubble that separates me…

from everything that is not me.

Actually, “I” exist in everything including the I in the bubble.

There is really nothing that is not “me”.

When I am inside the bubble “I” is somewhere out there.

I am unaware that I am separated from who “I” really am.

That is where ‘I’ come in. ‘I’ know I and ‘I’ know “I”.

Puts a whole new perspective on things.
