It's not as if the question, of being, or of the good, or whatever - the original or the final question and its concomitant questioner has any ultimate reality either. To be the being for whom being is in question - well, that clears away a lot of junk, but it is junk too. Who are you to presume entitlement to deep questions? An entity aroused by depth, or at any rate some sort of entity. It used to seem that the desire to be special, to be 'the one who knows' in distinction from all the ignorant was an insurmountable stumbling block, but this was really just a way of giving unquestioned reality to a 'psychology'. What if that simply isn't a problem? The realisation is a weird thing, it doesn't happen in the dimension that you think it does. The idea of separation can't do away with the idea of separation, but that doesn't make it real. Quite the opposite. It's not about your question or anybody else's. It's more like being prepared to surrender the question, surrender the knower and without that surrender being any big thing at all. It's perhaps more like: 'oh, it's gone!'
