PS it just occurred to me, too, that AV is DEFINITELY (for once, some conviction is called for :-)) part of Small Mind. You know, the thought of having a drink - or forty - seems to be SUCH a Terribly Important Thing.
As AVRT shows: all an illusion, or should that be de-lusion? Doesn't really matter which, in that moment when It appears. It's puny, small.
More to the point: It prevents us from having access to Big Mind, clarity (i.e. seeing things just as they are. ) No doubt the primary reason why, for thousands of years, Buddhists take one of a number of vows, including not putting intoxicating substances into the body. Not dissimilar to the Big Plan, non?
