what do you think ?

I find the whole binary concept of absolute duality to be a very limited and anthropocentric interpretation by beings too tied into their own, necessarily quantised, conception of reality. It's all about differential gradients and probability functions, man.

Why does everything have a name. The purest form of what "it" is lies beyond our conscious senses. Space is different that what "it" is. What is space if we can not perceive depth. He has a calming philosophical approach but lacks the true non-duality approach of nothing=emptiness=form.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
