My bet it is the latter. :) I understand you perfectly well and I still argue that you are confounding consciousness with mind. "Me" is an artifact of consciousness projected into and identified with mind. This creates a "me" or an "I" that is experienced as self. But this "me" or "I" doesn't exist, it appears to exist in waking state, but in CC this disappears and it becomes very clear that there never was an "individual" called Frank, Tom or Bob. In CC there is a perfect duality of "empty-Self" and everything else including all functions of mind. So you get the tax bill and freakout in CC as you would in waking state. However there is no you to freakout or not freakout in CC. Who you are in CC has nothing to do with anything in the relative. When you have a waking state "me" you freakout over the bill. When you don't have a "me" freakout over the bill still occurs, but it has nothing to do with who "you" are. > > > > > To subscribe, send a message to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Or go to: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ > and click 'Join This Group!' > Yahoo!
