Solving the puzzle that doesn’t exist.
‘Yeah, but if nothing ultimately matters and nobody really exists, I could just as well go out in the street and kill everybody!’
Sure.
And, no chance.
This is a common response in the non-dual or, more generally, spiritual conversation, and a well-known reaction to the radical claims about impersonality.
It’s kinda funny.
The apparent mind that’s obviously insulted by the notion that it doesn’t exist.
Uh?
This battle can be fought in limitless ways, and it WILL be fought.
Until it’s simply seen for what it is (yeah I know that’s a shitty conclusion, but it’s still true).
And even then the fight will not be over, in most cases, because that obviously keeps the stories fresh and amazing.
Questions or opinions about ‘not being responsible’ or ‘life not having an inherent meaning’, mostly have a dense energy of frustration, anger, or despair.
This is, I guess, because the mind is absolutely incapable of (and unwilling to accept) what it truly means to not be caught in itself anymore.
