During a routine traffic stop by the U.P.D., (arkent@cdsnet.net
(Raymond Karczewski)), had an open container of the following
goopinol:
}    In human terms the peripheral is the violence borne of ignorance
}and stupidity of living in the confusion of a dualistic mind.  One
}must go through that stage to enter the state of Love, of wisdom, yes,
}the eye of the hurricane.  When they have reached that point of
}safety, they have their peace even though the danger of the peripheral
}violence continues to swirl all around them.  Regardless of the
}destruction going on around them, they are untouched by it all, for
}they are protected by their love. 

      Well Ray, as usual I was with you up to a point, and this of
course is it.  True, we must understand our own stormy natures to find
peace.  However, I don't think it's a matter of finding protection and
simply finding peace, regardless of the chaos around them.  Or us
rather.  I like your hurricane analogy, but it's flaw is simply that
the true perception is acutally, those that storm about in search of
truth and decency, have peace and tranquility at the core.  Those who
are outwardly peaceful in these persuits, are hiding their turmoil.
Thus they create an illusion of tranquility, when the truth is they
hide their true nature.  Thus the bonds of duality are created.
THAT, I believe, is the dualistic nature you so despise.  No?
