  • Lobster, tis a good one there. I/we/you are right and I/we/you are wrong.
    I/we/you are both right and wrong.

    Maybe you can't give a right answer, but can you ask the right question?
    I don't know if I'm being deep or just silly...

    Well I will leave you to answer the ratio between silliness and depth ...

    However I would suggest the right question at the wrong time can be silly and the wrong answer at the right time can be skilfull.

    How so? To get to the other side?

    Nobody is going to be right about everything but I'd imagine most people are right at least some of the time.

    When it comes to the Buddhist practice/process, I think being wrong is great especially that one point where it clicks in and I know I've been wrong.

    The excitement is blissful!

    I've actually had tears in my eyes from smiling like a lunatic in anticipation for what comes next.

    Just another day.

    Can we answer from beyond the mind?

    Well.. one answer is yes.. through nonverbal communication...or resonance...but unpacking what you mean by each word in your question could be fun...

    Or we can just have a cup of tea...either way the beyond is answering all questions all the time. And its also not because reasons.

    And also...
    As well as...

    I am always wrong.
    Particularly when I am utterly convinced I'm right.
    That's when I am wrong the most.

    On the spiritual path that some of us rightly or wrongly think we are already on, a strong alignment can and does change to its opposite. The Ying Yang symbol of Taoism explains this rather well ...

    Our individual identity is strongly associated with our physical body, its ups and downs, gender, hormones, sexuality, state of repair etc.
