Your posts do reach through the computer screen. Tremendous.

Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche's answer there, "Neurosis." What if the one asking the questions is the problem? It got me here in the first place, but what good is it, always asking these pesky, unanswerable questions?

EDIT: Is the me that asks questions the "raft" Buddha spoke of, that I'm to float across the river on and then sink?

By the way, I know it's not proper to directly answer such blunt questions. Think of it as rhetorical!

I love thinking about such matters. I'm too attached to thinking. What shall I do?

Thank you again for your teachings.
