Nice try BoarzHead
Spoken like a true person who knows this first-hand. You may as well practice a Jamaican accent and end all of your posts with, "Call me now fa ya free bombaclot readin'!"
Contrary to popular belief, things like this can't be known through simple reading. Especially reading incorrect literature, as you have clearly been doing; if any reading at all. It's hilarious how many of you try to simplify the greatest truth and mysteries of Creation. Do you really believe that a few painfully simple sentences can come within a mile of centuries of thought, contemplation, prayer and meditation? Do you really think that your, "knowledge" is greater than that of the countless thinkers that contemplated these same subjects and were still amazed into utter silence at the endlessness of it all?

"Look at it, but you cannot see it.
Because it is formless, you call it invisible.
Listen to it, but you cannot hear it.
Because it is soundless, you call it inaudible.
Grasp it, but it is beyond your reach.
Because it is subtle, you call it intangible.
These three are indescribable and imperceptible,
but in the mystical moment when you see it, hear it, grasp it, the Unseen, Unheard, Unreachable presents itself as the indefinable essence.
Confront it and you do not see it's face.
Follow it and you do not see it's back.
It does not appear bright when viewed from at the zenith.
Nor does it appear dark when viewed at the nadir.
There is NOTHING that can make this subtle essence of the Universe distinct....." The Tao Te Ching
That's for the people who know wtf I'm talking about. Things like this can only be vaguely described. The most in-depth description is no more than the tip OF the tip of an iceberg. If it was anywhere near as simple as you and a lot of other people would like to believe and have others believe, none of us would be here.
But do what you like. I'll do the same.
"Die before you die."-Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh)
