In a sense, that's true; I don't haplessly identify with the discriminator as I did before "dying," as THAT or the "Me" or the Self is behind discrimination, behind buddhi. In another sense, that's quite untrue, as you may recall I have "discriminated" into your sloppy thinking here on FFL, which oddly enough appears to be about when you stopped seeing me as a semi- enlightened "friend" whose experiences you claimed to like to read, and started seeing me as a "moodmake-y, unconvincing" asshole. Of course, I am both, or neither. I repeat, "I" can make no claims to enlightenment or ignorance, "I" can make no claims to anything but having "died", and even that from some POVs must be untrue, as here I apparently still am. As to shakti over the internet -- some get it, some don't. I couldn't care less either way. I think it's been pointed out many times on FFL that even the most inveterate "shakti-junkies" *still* manage to avoid "dying". No great suprise there -- who would purposely trade all those great kicks for absolute Nothingness? Only those who have no choice. I am only here to (metaphorically) cut off your head, dance on it, throw your corpse into my fire, consume it utterly, and scatter the sparks to the breeze, and why would you want that unless you *knew* just how much suffering your head was causing you? I do not wonder how or why you so sedulously manage to ignore me. I'll wait. *lol* >
