     Death is wrong?  We all die, then we all are
wrong, I guess that's what your saying.

     Sure.

     Guess not?  Cause he died?  You will die, I will
die.  We are all wrong, you say.
     "From the static point of view the whole escape
into Dynamic Quality seems like a death experience.
It's a movement from something to nothing. How can
'nothing' be any different from death? Since a Dynamic
understanding doesn't make the static distinctions
necessary to answer that question, the question goes
unanswered. All the Buddha could say was, 'See for
yourself.'
When early Western investigators first read the
Buddhist texts they too interpreted nirvana as some
kind of suicide. There's a famous poem that goes:

While living,
Be a dead man.
Be completely dead,
And then do as you please.
And all will be well.

It sounds like something from a Hollywood horror-film
but it's about nirvana. The Metaphysics of Quality
translates it:

While sustaining biological and social patterns
Kill all intellectual patterns.
Kill them completely
And then follow Dynamic Quality
And morality will be served."

     (Lila; Ch. 32)

     Death is undefined.  Death is dynamic quality. 
In this sense, life is realization of death.  We find
this out and return home.  Are you saying life and
death are not practical?  I'm not sure where you are
coming from on this, please clarify.

night,
SA
