Anything we say about something says more about ourselves than what we are talking about. How we see the thing, anything, reveals who we are. The Buddhists who say “No Duality!” also talk about taking refuge from suffering. There is refuge and there is suffering. And, they talk about enlightenment and awakening, and they talk about illusion. How is what they say a reflection of who they are? It sounds like a contradiction to me, or a non sequitur. And that says more about me than about them. I want things to flow smoothly from here to there, from this to that, and I am quick to spot things that don’t do that. And I think everybody is that way, or should be that way. And I expose that about me by being the way I am. Which leads me to suppose/project (and this paragraph is all about supposition and projection) “where this comes from about me” to what I think is a probable childhood experience where adults caught me in the act of contradicting myself and created a need to protect myself from criticism by spotting logical fallacies from afar and going after them to take attention away from me, thus calling attention unto me in the act of protesting what I take to be a failure in someone else, the Buddhists, say. We reveal who we are in diverting attention to other people, pointing to our suppositions and projections. Sigh.

Jim, You are who you were called forth to be, in spite of, or because of the cause. Where would we be had you been someone else all your life? You are being you better than anyone else could be! Thank you for being you💕🙏✌️.
