Thanks Mark, great to hear from you. "Are you guys still on this :) The distinctions in this group are so very muddled up... That 'me' feeling - is conceptual. The me feeling, the ego, the self are all part of the same entity. There is no separation between these objectively they are all the same. Ultimately EVERYTHING is made up out of NOTHING! Mark" Muddled up is probably the best way to describe the Knowing of "EVERYTHING is made up out of NOTHING!" You see, traditionally one would conclude this to be a contradiction yet we know on a deeper level of understanding this apparent contradiction is in fact the best way to explain the unexplainable. The gift is to know this truth and simply dance with the mystery. It's a fool's errant to demand cognitive, logic and reason about a subject like the conscious awareness beyond human ego. We know enough to say that humans are, on the one hand bound by the limitations of logic and reason and yet, psychologically and emotionally very aware of love, elation, revelation and fear. My take on this is simple. As human sentient beings we are the dichotomy of rational and irrational conscious awareness. This balance leads us to perceive duality. Each day we arrive in a condition of rational and irrational conscious awareness. And it is only through this condition that we examine and struggle to understand our arrival. My sincere belief is. We manifest each morning to progress our ability to be. Happiness, enlightenment, revelation and the sartorial elegance of our Universal Unity are all by products of our ability to be. The ego, self and oxygen are only elemental ingredients in a process of progress. We have no right to demand logic and reason, we have no right to demand understanding. We are here and now. This is our "EVERYTHING is made up out of NOTHING! And the nothing, which makes everything. Who is not muddled up ? Surly, muddled up is only, the honest truth of all. Marcus Hughes.
