Nah, it's more than that. Hitting the thumb with a hammer and reacting is Edg's
"meat robot" reacting. It's a body/mind thing, not the ego per se. Everyone
agrees that when we hit a thumb with a hammer we yell, that physical sensation
exists after brahman consciousness. The argument is whether there's an
individual me that is pure spirit, beyond the body, yet a distinct entity or
essence within the universal self. I say there is. Most gurus say there is not.

Christ said "I and the Father are One" where is the two in that?
They are one but they are also two, as a branch can say "I am the tree" and
still be a branch. You can experience being one with the Infinite yet an
individual at the same time.
And I suspect thatÂ’s how everyone who experiences it experiences it.
Including these people who say there is no longer a me. Hit the thumb with a
hammer. Someone or something feels an aversion to that pain.
