Who is it that is aware? Who is it that is enlightened? If it is a man, then what happens when the man dies knowing there is no death?

nature is without flaw
for there to be flaw
man has to conceive it
and suffer his creation apart from his nature |

Yes because he is now living life, not what he think he was living in his thoughts.

nature was never absent , and cannot be contained in the meagerness of mans thinking.
if mans data base was correct, after 5,000 years of trying to attain a peaceful civilization, we would today not need locks on our doors.
his presumption of what he and nature are vergers on the comically naive |

That is so nice when you sit so far away and high on your mighty horse .... hahaha
But, the truth of nature is that it was never simple nor ideal for man
Only man's idea of nature was to be suffered by man ... just like your concepts
"When awareness is lacking, you will do much to protect your beliefs"
And so the story goes on .... hahaha

The One is a your center. Yielding is water where your center is transcended. Be like water. |

Words are like the expression of a living reality - they have to be lived in order to be understood.

What is interdependent is eternal, only form changes. The recognition of nothingness is not cessation, it is completion. The only thing that dies is the attachment to form. |

Presence does not pass.
Paradoxically, when attempting to speak truth, one speaks words about truth. |

Not really, just be kind to your attachments. Even if the attachment is to the concept, that it is complicated. I agree I get attached to my attachments, that is why they are attachments. Being kind to my attachments helps them to loosen. |
