It strikes me that the more absolutely the 'Facts' of existence are stated, the less likely they seem and the less convincing is the person stating them. Insightful folks, in my experience, tend to be a lot more flexible in their thinking, to tolerate ambiguity, and to avoid dogmatic absolutes. 

BTW If there is no self or other then it's all the same right(?), and I'm in need of some financial assistance from "others", and so could you give me all of your money? There's a paypal button on my website - visiblemantra.org. All credit cards accepted.

Thanks.
