Knots Are Probably Only Untied at the Worst Moment

What I was originally going to write has to change. This morning at 6 AM, the brother apparently felt things had gone too far and came over on his own initiative for a long talk. Many things were resolved. We exchanged views on the human body very carefully. This ID systematically filled in the gaps where his understanding had not been integrated. Of course, I only discussed worldly dharma with him — some things depend on karmic connections.

I won't go into the mundane details. The issues that nearly caused a rupture probably weighed on his conscience, hence this gesture. For instance, he said everything is one. This ID thought: with such a level of insight, how could he ever break through? So I asked him whether this "one" is not itself the greatest bondage. He said that is the bondage of the soul. This ID said: is that not precisely bondage itself? He had nothing to say.

Enough for now. If there's time tomorrow, I'll come back and talk about the world economy.
