Put up and shut up!
...it is building nicely here...

Yes I think we have shared the same experience but drawn different conclusions. How can experiencing anything become a being?
Whoops...that doesn't make sense...great question!

Of course experiencing something cannot become a being...either you are being or you are not...

The way I see it...the experience helps me remember what I am.

Quote:
It is still you experiencing without thoughts.
Right...the thoughts sorta get in the way...when I think my thoughts are me...I lose my true self and begin to identify myself as my thoughts...the true me never changes...just my perception of who I am.

Quote:
If this was your true being then why is not your true being on the outside?
In reality, there isn't an inside or an outside...but for practical purposes of discussion, my true being IS inside and outside all the time...the little version of me that does mundane things (eats and sleeps), just doesn't have constant awareness of my own deepest truth or self...the real me is always the same.

Quote:
I see this as an indicator of who we can be. A glimpse of us in the future, perhaps?
Let's hope!!

Quote:
That's what we are here to find out. Are you ready to see that what you have come to believe as false is actually true?
Yep...that would be cool.

Quote:
Are we experiencing what you deem to be perceptions. Aren't they are real in the here and now?
No...I don't think they are.

Quote:
The other side (in bold) is escape from reality and helps you sleep. I just might be your worst nightmare.
Could be...but that would mean that I would just have to transmute that fear into presence and release the energy.

Quote:
Oi, I am using you! Don't you know I can't have you ruining my reputation. I show up for me not you. Bugar, why do you make it so difficult for me to be ♥♥♥♥♥?
Best line EVAR!!! So sorry to disappoint...I don't really have much of a position to defend...I just want to keep the discussion moving...I cheat!

Quote:
I'm smiling now. Now you are beginning to see the metaphorical me. I'm not blushing at all with this exposure. I am very happy. I don't hold all the darkness. We all do. The only difference is "I love mine."
I love my darkness and yours as well...remember the darkness is part of the insanity which, again, makes it a perfect system.

Quote:
There you go again. I was being sarcastic. I have never known such a white spirit before.
I'm not attacking or defending any position, just listening and responding...it's fun!

Quote:
There you go again ruining my reputation as I have to concur. You are pushing my humility button. You are beginning to expose my light. I redeem myself by saying, I told you I was using you.............
Remember, you are not your reputation, or your life story...there...I gave you something to rail against...mad now?

I don't think we are using each other...we are enjoying a fun discussion about a topic most people that I run into day to day shy away from completely...I am so glad you showed up...and happy to know you are "using" and or enjoying what I have to say...so, thanks SO MUCH to you too.


CHEERS!
