Nothing important is happening

If someone in real life makes fun of me or insult me or scream disrespectfully on me I experience irritation in my body and I experience an urge to react negatively towards these insults . Yes I can and I do understand that that’s not what I should do but it’s not completely under my control. That’s my experience.

Yes, you experience the urge. The urge comes from you. Say you got angry because I insulted you just now, but I had the wrong person - I meant to call the person behind you an idiot. Are you still angry?

Just a simple exercise.

Don’t you see the contradiction? At least the urge arises because of both me and you in this scenario? Not just me.

Have you ever been angry without apparent external triggers? You can actually do this. 

What does this say about your role in that?

Do you ever get angry?

I would be suspicious of anyone describing reality that way. It would sound like a blind total denial of sorts.

Physical reality is wild and crazy, it's over the top radical and spontaneous.  The human languages can't even come close to doing it justice. An explosion of lights, colors, sounds, smells, crazy looking creatures, amazing plant life, infinite cosmos and the mystery of the unknown.

But simultaneously its empty of certain qualities which humans try to superimpose onto reality like importance or value and purpose.

It's empty and full.

Empty of meaning and purpose. It doesn't have an end goal or agenda to stick to. It doesn't need or require anything to be a certain way. It's already complete in other words. It's already everything and lacks nothing.

Full because it's all encompassing/all inclusive and excludes nothing.

As conditioned humans we attempt to understand and know what reality is. We try to force meaning onto reality by way of our perspectives/prerogatives.

The sense of self is that which experiences suffering and becomes defensive if another body calls it a stupid ass. 

Sit and write an entire page describing yourself in detail minus the physical body..........that's at least what I refer to as the "sense of self" 

Your description is almost just like the descriptions I’ve heard from these people I mentioned, except you didn’t include calling reality “nothing” here, but if I remember correctly I think you’ve said that before too (I might be wrong tho)

It doesn’t matter to me tho, those words don’t do anything to break my sense of self anyways. When I write it’s like I am just exploring some kind of expression, maybe you are too I don’t know. It’s a need. 
 

About the last part about describing your sense of self. lol just my immediate thought is that it would be difficult to fill entire page about it. In a way it’s too “direct” to describe in elaborate ways beyond just something like “it’s this sense of being here located behind the eyes”
