LOL.

I think a good test is: how would you feel if it suddenly didn't work anymore? And a more real-world test is: how do you feel when someone makes you wrong about it?

Well, no one has been able to "make me wrong" about "What is, is". Most that could ever happen, I imagine, is that someone tries to prove me wrong, which would mean they would have to say, "What is, isn't", or, "What isn't, is," both of which are simply absurd. I suppose that makes it an Absolute, and if that's the case, I'm okay with that, too.

So, anything you argue about (where there's stress and struggle in the argument, rather than fun and possibility) is a great place to look, I think. What am I making someone wrong about? What am I feeling bad because they're making me wrong about? Or any area of life where you're experiencing struggle rather than possibility -- arguments are just great because they make attachment to belief vivid and easy to see, like diamonds on black velvet.

Indeed, I do this already, which is why I relate very well with the Subjective Reality Consciousness thing (or, rather, what I understand of it).
