The Third Degree
Sometimes, the blogosphere gets hit with a blog-culture activity that speads like a virus at a computer newbie convention. One was 200 Things About. I tried to do that on this site and was not successful in posting it. Some HTML thingy happened I couldn't fix. So I'd thought I try another one since it appears so simple on the surface:
Ask me 3 questions about anything. Go ahead. I'll answer them as long as it doesn't ask me to reveal my debit card pin or some other thing I'm not willing to give up. I'll wait a few days to see how many folks submit and then answer a slew of them at one time.
(Bracing myself) Okay, go ahead......3 of 'em.

1) What do you cherish most in your life so far? (If it is hard to identify anything as tops, than answer with something that you cherish very much instead). It could be anything, e.g. an experience, a person, a phenomena, a thing, an ability, a quality or characteristic, a lesson, an idea...
2) What do you think has altered the course of your life most?
3) What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Firstly, hi again, it's been a while eh?
1. How do you want to die?
2. What is the last thing you would want to say to someone, just before you croaked? in other words what's your final valediction? if you haven't thought about this yet, try it from this angle: have you ever written a suicide note, and if so, what was the message?
3. What gives definition, meaning, purpose to your life? i.e. apart from the innate instinct for self-preservation, what keeps you going on?
sorry, but there are a couple more question i really like to ask you:
4. if you had just one wish, what would it be? (and no, you can't ask for multiple wishes - basically i want to know what is the deepest, strongest desire in your life)
5. if you could choose to have complete liberation (enlightenment, awakening, illumination, buddhahood, elysium, heaven, zen, nirvana, whatever you want to call it) but that would mean that the entire universe would be immediately and instantly nullified and obliterated, would you take it?
thanks very much, i appreciate just being able to ask you these questions. i look forward to reading your answers.
addendum: i forgot to mention something important in the last question... you don't 'die' as such, if you choose to be 'awakened' despite the fact that everything goes kaboom. instead you move on to another dimension/plane of existence, or you become and remain a completely fulfilled, ecstatic, desireless consciousness (there is nothing else but you - what some hindus call their conception of god - 'brahman' or the singularity). this universe, so-called 'reality' then disappears because it was just an illusion, your waking dream ('maya') that has been shattered due to your awakening.
Here's some easier ones after you are finished with nonbeing's questions:
1. What is the absolute best show you have ever seen? Was it the music or the company?
2. You seem well traveled. In your opinion, what is the most beautiful place in these states to live?
3. If you could sit down and eat dinner with any historical figure, dead or alive, who would it be? Why?
blog on!
