And I hear you saying in this that the " sense-of-separation " is only that, a " sense " . And the same with any sense of " me " . Sense of separation, sense of me, two sides of the same coin really. And the coin is phoney money. When proffered, do not accept. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder once in a while what you were up to. Allow me, to play a little with your post. Since the first four sentences are only an attempt ( not very successful IMO)to prove the last one with some analogies, I won't waste ink on them. Analogy can't be a proof of anything. In the last sentence, it seems you take for granted that the sense of separation is considered by some here 'the actor.' A sense of separation is just a feeling. It's for the part of the brain, which manifest intuitive intelligence to see what causes this feeling of separation. When that is seen, then, there is an opportunity that those actions will come to an end. As I said before, there is an inclination for entification, and personalization, which leads to unnecessary confusion. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
