Yeah, since there's no theology thread, they tend to get dumped here.
As to your question, I can't help.

Well damn. No one else is studying the Pali Canon?

Seems pretty straight-forward to me. What's so confusing about it?

It's the problem of the Tathagata speaking in paradox to instruct his bhikkus. My mind can't wrap around the idea. For example, he describes how he neither moves nor sinks when faced with the currents of samsara. I fail to understand how the Buddha can remain in a place yet not be there.

Clearing the path by Nanavira Thera might help you out desu.

The teachings of Buddha allows you to go beyond the normal realms of experience. Obviously with rewriting the core axioms. Axioms like the no-self and impermanence. Yet during the rewriting of the core axioms, you are still bound by the old axioms of self and permanance.

How can he be talking about two things at same time? Because the framework of the teaching requires you to change yourself in the process. Not just observe and read shit. This means you must meditate to go further up the teaching. If you do not meditate, and are just reading, you're not really a "buddhist" per-se. Or in theravadan words, "stream enterer".
