But don’t the first memory come from when a self had formed? I don’t remember before that yea I see the self as a structure too. With no duality between preceptor and perception wouldn’t that be same as nothing

How do you know baby has experience? And ant. We have no memory of being baby could as we’ll have been nothing

The reason you have a sense of having an experience, of something going on is because you have a self. Period. I’ve been in states of near total self dissolution naturally that I barely can talk about with anyone because it’s so strange. And in those states the world has almost no 3D depth, it’s the self that creates that 3D depth that space sense. Sense of time too, sense of continuity, sense of something going on at all. All becuase you have a self, if it was reduced or gone you’d understand

I know we already talked about it but you mean we can’t perceive complete stillness?

I don’t get what u mean by “sourced by”

Yea I’m open to it

Experience is the sense that there is something going on, something existing. And that sense comes about because there’s a sense of a self. So sense of self creates sense of something, of experience Experience of something= sense of something Something along those lines is what I think. It’s based on my own experiences Very deep interesting topic

I wish I could recognize that

It was still good I’m not saying it’s bad. Just pointed a tendency out

Typical separate human to humanize nothingness

Ok

Ok

Yea it varies

I’ve heard he was on it short term

What’s the issue?

Thanks for the elaborate answer! So yes some raw veggies are not ideal. Good thing I enjoy cooking

What do you mean by formalized?

Yea. It’s mind twisting

I heard about this man pretending to be Christ in Africa or something and when the people wanted to crucify him he called the police haha.

Or now during Easter: Are you the Easter bunny? Because where you’ve been hiding all my life (I know it’s the eggs not the bunny that hides but still you could read it as a verb as in the Easter bunny hides the eggs)

Yea I think so It’s like the brain is the first appearance to produce self awareness. Like a self doesn’t appear in a piece of toilet paper. The configuration of the toilet paper doesn’t produce a self Then the question would be if the self awareness is exclusively tied to the brain. If you destroy the brain you can end self awareness, so there seems to be a connection. But then on the other hand we have things like out of body experiences, or when an astral body with self consciousness travels outside the body. Suggesting self awareness might not be exclusive to the physical brain. Maybe there’s other appearances that can produce self awareness. It’s fascinating

Maybe you should describe more elaborately how that state differs from your normal state, to pin point it more specifically. Like is your self different? Is there less insecurity ?

If reality would write a book wouldn’t it be like the non dualists I see on YouTube like Jim Newman. They are speaking from pure reality with no self

I don’t know enough either.

It doesn’t really go together
