"The assumption of being an individual is our greatest limitation."
Pir Vilayat Khan
It is ... that investment in self-identity that continuously re-creates the illusion of separation from oneness. It is the dream of individuality.
There is no such thing as a person. There are only restrictions and limitations. The sum total of these defines the person. The person merely appears to be, like the space within the pot appears to have the shape and volume and smell of the pot.

Malcolm,
I like to read your blog because you're always challenging my assumptions/beliefs.
Hoping I'm not a shallow person, but I was confused by the quotes you posted.
Kitty
Dear Kitty,
Perhaps you are confused because you are trying to "understand" these sayings with your mind, while they can only be understood by the Heart.
May I suggest that you visit This web page for a clearer hint than I can give?
Malcolm
P.S. I strongly recommend that you read right to the end of that page I liked to in the last comment.
Malcolm
Thanks for the link. I did read it. It's a totally different way of looking at everything, from my point of view, lol!
Kitty
OK Kitty. But it's good that you are open to the possibility of other ways of looking at life being valid and workable, and even, perhaps, more so than you present view? After all, we do evolve in our outlook - hopefully!
