I am not aware of ever meeting anyone who does not have preferences.
(Even having a preference for not having a preference is a preference.)
I have heard of such people – they are usually in the company
of people looking after them – for they are like children.
Not having a preference, anyone can steal and mistreat them,
so people take care for them.
(Although Loa Tzu says such people will not be abused.)
Here we enter the realm of non-duality.
Not having a preference may not be, not having a preference.
In the world of non-duality (Neti-Neti) is more than: not this, not that,
it may mean: this and that.
So when attempting to talk at such a level, the mind is not only
not helpful, it is a hindrance.
Don’t feel like attempting the details just now, so just let’s say,
it is inclusion. If the mind does has a preference, if there is no
preference, then there is no preference to having a preference.
Tiddly Pom.
This entity we call Paul certainly has some preferences.
I have no idea of what being completely clear is.
What I imagine is that when this happens, the person ascends –
leaves the body. I imagine that is what has happened to Babaji –
not having any desires or preferences, he could no longer stay
in a physical body. The story is that, as he still has a connection
to planet earth, he is still around, and takes a body when needed.
Neat.
As so often mentioned, it is not what, but how. Witnessing.
When in the mind there always seems to be the opposite.
And you do not need to be out of the mind to not have opposites.
(See what I mean? Not easy to explain is it.)
After a certain shift it is realised that the emphasis has shifted
from seeing everything from the dual perspective of the mind,
to being aware that there is also a watcher – that can watch
the process of the mind without being caught up in it.
Another, and more free perspective.
Being with what is, is to be free of the constraints – of being with what is.
Anyway, that is my last bit from my 79th year of being on this planet.
