Why do we need to explain them cannot contentment even bliss be found in not
knowing what is being imagined or why?

Okay, got that, I was saying something else.

Sure

I have no idea what is true and would suggest my not knowing might be access
to knowing something what you got :)

I don't believe anything to be true though it is obvious what is not true
but I am not calling it the truth

Absolutely none taken and thank you, ultimately the book will be about you

There is no dream only what is happening

And what is there to understand about consciousness?

Does a tree understand (itself falling perhaps)

Or an ocean?

Or a wave?

Only human beings seem intent on caring what is what and the book is not
about that - though I am sure you will find a meaning in it anyway :)

Thanks
