Response
I received a response today from the people who run the sentient.org website:
(My initial email comments are prefixed with “>”)
Hi Steve,

How kind of you to say so. It is a labour of love … sort of a way of
sharing something wonderful…

I will pass your words along.

Yes. But eventually this goes too. All that remains is a sense of
being and of ease. The desire to differentiate sort of fades away
when there is no ‘me’ in there ![]()

There is a small trick to this though. Ramana Maharshi once said that
one must want This like a drowning man struggles to the surface for
air. That is to say, with every ounce of one’s being. Of course after
reaching the surface, there is not much point in struggling any
more
And yes, certainly the search itself is pointless. We all
know were the surface of the water is, to continue the metaphor. We
just out of habit seem to prefer drowning ![]()

Yes, so long as there is no ‘me’ to whom the truth appears to
appear ![]()
All the best,
And thanks again for your kind words.
