  1. is selfishness a byproduct of self abandonment?
    is selfishness a byproduct of self abandonment?
    No. Selfishness is hardwired into the organism.
    If you were not selfish you would be dead.
    Selfishness is the precondition for your biological existence.

    It's tied to your life and identity.
    If it reconfigured significantly, you'd be dead or insane.
    To maintain your self and sanity.
    Nothing exists unless it is imagined.
    The notion of a past has to be actively imagined for it to exist.
    Imagination is happening at the physical level. The physical world is imaginary.
    If the physical world was fluid you would feel insane and you could not survive.
    We have mental hospitals full of people who can't survive by themselves without medication and 24/7 assistance. And they have only mild fluidity of mind relative to what is truly possible is the mind was more free.
    You are taking for granted being human. You think this is just a given. But being human requires imagining that you're human every waking minute of the day. If that stopped you would cease to be human, which you would hate.
    Survival shapes imagination to be very specialized and narrow.
    You already know what dreams are like. You cannot live a human life within a dream because it is too fluid.
