Strange, vague and confusing pointing from Moo;
"sometimes I say,
When one can bear one's own silence,
One is free.
But who is there to bear it even?"
Moo seems to be saying that we are not really there. Although we must be there, if we are 'bearing silence'. Someone is bearing their own silence, it seems?
But Moo asks who that one is. Then he implies that that one is not there at all.
Can anyone, anywhere explain this to me?
Are we here or not?
I believe that I am here! Silence or no silence, I am here.
Moo implies that I am not here. Where am I?
I understand mysticism. I don't have a problem with it. Zen, Advaita, whatever. Be as mystical as you like, but please don't confuse people by suggesting that they don't exist at all. It's not healthy.
We exist. We live our lives. We engage with the world with a healthy scepticism and we engage critical thinking and reason.
