After Twitter

One thing that I learned is the tendency of some in the nondual world who have accessed some understanding of truth of the absolute without much of a clue of the relative. In other words, it is their understanding (I almost wish to say belief) that the witnessing of the Self and the resting in the Self alone is enough to rid themselves of their previous delusion and illusion. And for those moments that they do I’m sure it is. But because of the path they have “chosen,” they have little understanding of the workings of illusion. For example, they bask in their emotions as something that just happens. True, but it basically comes down to this: emotions rise from thoughts of separation being thoughts of separation. In doing so, such thoughts of separation are free to multiply at will while they luxuriate in their belief of being enlightened. And thus, they’re an easy target for Maya. But of course everything is as it is. (please add scare quotes around any word that may appear too relative for your absolute)
