Sounds like wishful thinking.
That is very subjective. It sounds to me, and to some other people,
(apparently many), that it looks more like some terrifying thinking.
I agree. But your choice of words gives the opposite impression.
Why "higher"? Why not "lower".
Yes, why not. The standard term is "higher".
Exactly - it is very subjective.
Why not diffused into the infinite threads of the UD?
Why not indeed? Is that a problem? Not sure to see your point.
My point is that you imply we should be happy with the implications
of comp because it implies we really have a "higher self" that we've
merely forgotten and that we are deluded in having a "little ego".
Just consider how different it sounds to say we have forgotten our
real "lower self" and we deluded in thinking our ego is significant.
No, but in some context, I try to explain using such wording, but I
have no clue if we should be happy with it. The happiness is in the
search, not in anything found.
