It was a good, positive feeling. Freeing. Calming. Real.
In honour of Zhen, for whom I have much respect, I decided to call it my Godless Moment, because if I don’t exist, then any question of a transcendent God becomes completely irrelevant.
It passed fairly quickly, of course. Things like that, things I like to think of as flashes of understanding, flit across the line of my sight so quickly that I have to rely on persistence of vision to decide whether or not they really happened.
Feel free to tell me I’m delusional if you like. Is that a first person pronoun in the last sentence? See – gone already.

sounds like Buddhism to me! ;)
Indeed. It's the tradition I'm most comfortable with. I don't use labels, though. I suppose it would be broadly true to say that I TEND to view reality like a Buddhist, but I TEND to approach the business of living more like a Taoist. Whatever suits.
