Another question arrived:
“Another idea just occurred to me, someone has to have a concept of some kind of God.
I just realized as a non-dualist, I can easily track what you are saying, but how many non-dualist are going to be reading your book.”

I sat in meditation, rather tired and sleepy if I remember correctly, waiting for the end so that I could untangle what was left of my legs and go to sleep, when all kinds of funky things started happening to me.
