From the AlongTheWay list

I subscribed to a small number of additional nonduality lists as catalogued here on Jerry's site. The AlongTheWay site is located here. Anyway, I like how simple the link between spirit and matter is described here. And how eloquently he says that this link gives meaning to matter and expression to spirit. Whoever translated this from Nisargadatta's native language really had their shit together.

Remembering your self is virtue, forgetting your self is sin. It all boils down to the mental or psychological link between the spirit and matter. We may call the link psyche (antahkarana). When the psyche is raw, undeveloped, quite primitive, it is subject to gross illusions. As it grows in breadth and sensitivity, it becomes a perfect link between pure matter and pure spirit and gives meaning to matter and expression to spirit.

(no subject)

I thrive on connecting with people. There appears to be an exchange of energy when two people meet or talk to each other, and that energy flow really resonates when a good connection is established with someone.

(I want to say something here about how important it is to be well-connected to others, but that's not really what I'm trying to say. When I listen carefully and quietly for the words that come from the undifferentiated Self, I find that words disappear, along with traditional thought constructs. The quieter the mind becomes in meditation (and in regular life), the closer one appears to be connected with unmanifest reality; with simple being itself.)
