Many people make the Self / self distinction. But its relevant only if your statement above holds AND if one still experiences (per their interpretation of their own experinces) a sense of ego or individuality. Peter claims absolutely no trace of EGO or Individuality. None. Zip. Fini. Gone. Never Existed. So for him the Self / self distinction is (apparently) not relevant. ------------------------ Yahoo!
