TOUCHING NIRVANA
Or How I Finally Discovered “The Universal Panacea”
by Ramón Sender Barayón
Welcome to the third in my little booklet series! I’m celebrating
what I believe is a modest contribution to the happiness
of my fellow humans. Am I dreaming? I hope not! Also I offer
brief run-throughs of some past discoveries.
I very rarely remember my dreams, but these two remained
upon awakening:
“What is All?” I asked the Teacher.
“All is detailed attention to nothing,” was the reply.
A presence – an angel appeared and said, “It’s time to die,
Ramón.”
“What?!” I said. “But I’m not ready yet! There so much I’ve
still got to do!”
“No, it’s time,” the angel replied. A pleasant presence, by the
way, not at all scary.
‘Well, this is it,’ I thought. I tried to prepare myself, still
complaining mightily, and waited for some sort of dying
sensation to start.
“I’ll tell you what,” the angel said. “We’ll let you live a while
longer, but we’ll have to put you on a different program.”
At that point I awoke.
What program was the angel talking about, I wondered?
