@ThatLastTurtle Funny, I've always imagined end of fear would be spontaneous enlightenment.Isn't it fear that thwarts clarity & discernment?

@ThatLastTurtle Or - looking from this angle - we (as self) *are* fear, only the mind, thought, has separated itself from the fear

@SiddhiGal Interesting. This also brings up the question of what experiences stop with radical transformation/clarity & what is still there,

@SiddhiGal but no longer has the same affect on you it used to have. So does fear go away or just no longer causes suffering or stops you?

@ThatLastTurtle Let's get back to that self everyone's talkin' about:). Clinging isn't created by self; self is created by clinging..

@ThatLastTurtle So, while we "seek enlightenment", we are actually brokenly defending from it, resisting. Sweet irony:).

@ThatLastTurtle Basically all our efforts sum up in opening up to fearlessness, non resistance. At least that's (simplified) view of mine:)

@ThatLastTurtle There's a cute story I keep quoting: "What is love?" "Total absence of fear," Master said. "What is it we fear?" "Love."
