    I was using a borrowed machine and was editing the Trueself and ego thread in Budhism when the damn machine crashed. When I went back the entire thread was gone.
    Bad Karma again:mad:, I am working on getting it restored.
    Sorry all, a humbled Mod:o

    I hope your Karma´s computer-flue is getting better, Asia. :)
    As far as I can see the thread still exists among the living.

    Regards,

    Since there is no self, neither a true self nor a false self - this lost thread is a blessing in disguise.

    Where did the thread go? Where did the self go? It has got to be here somewhere. Nowhere is a good place, too. Maybe the only place!

    The more we try to define the true self, or the false self, or "here" and "nowhere" for that matter - the further we move away from the truth. Yet the effort and exercise has this great value. But the sooner we lose our definitions, again we return to "what is" - and that - remains to be a most mysterious and precious thing.

    A great teacher/guru/master "accident" losing this thread, Asia :D The master in you did something the moderator would be highly embarrassed about.
