*The existential state underlying
all states is:

If we want to know who we truly
are, we might consider using the
metaphor/thorn of the Abstraction
backtracking process to
deconstruct the various qualities
and belief structures that our
nervous systems took on in our
attempt to ensure or enhance
our survival. Give up all fixed
positions even emptiness."
-- Stephen Wolinsky, The Zen of Advaita
