I am also struck by the billions of Asia whose form of religious intuition seems to be just about opposite to the idea of a creative Heaven, which I share to a degree -- the sinking back into nothingness / anonymous bliss of Nirvana.<br /><br />Do you believe in the 'universality' of your way of seeing things based on any theory or grounds other than intuitive ones? I hope this does not sound offensive or negative.<br /><br />durendalnoreply@blogger.com
