What is your relationship to independence?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 04, 2009:
I believe in interdependence rather than independence.....we exist in and as this nexus of physical, emotional and morphogenic finely-grained goop and not as this little island of figure in a ground of separate otherness.....seeing life in this latter way as you vs 'the world' will likely have you carrying fear and angst and anomic desparation and smothering this trembling emotional mess with all sorts of inauthentic personnae....whilst to view yourself as connected to and as and with this great stream of vomit thrown up out of the mouth of Brahma as He gags on emptiness will engender neurosomatic rapture as every cell in your heart and mind breathes in constant release....
In another sense, and quite ironically so, this Open Ground in which my world plays out its tragicomic karmascript is Not-Two......it is a seamless unity without edges and therefore no 'outside' and therefore, if independence is about not being connected with anything that is 'other' and there is no other then I 'have' no independence and yet I 'am' independent in that here is no other for me to rely on....bloody curious stuff for a Saurday morning....I'm off for a coffee and game of Ingenious with me son and heir......

I love the way you paint with words … and you use your fingers in it too! ;-D
Satya - Seer… I agree… but does that mean that Jon is a guy who picks his knows? He sure has lots of nuggets of wisdom on his fingertips.
lol
Don't touch that!
Thanx….I appreciate your recent possie strokes Dave thanx…told Lewis and Tam the 'picks his knows” and we all had a good chuckle….I have snots of nuggets on me fingertips actually….fingernails have been known to get lost in my eustachian tubes…John I like a bit of fingering dat true….sandi; I'm not listening….
