Whats so terrible about egoism. Not ego that is undeservedly inflated. It is after all what we know at all - that is direct experience.

Equating the individual self or ahamkara to the Self or Truth, God , Atma is just human egoism and a desire of man to be supreme or God.

I am truly interested in the steps you took to get there. I also appreciate the fact that beyond a certain point you will probably say that words are inadequate to describe the process. However some of the process is probably describable. No? -----Original Message----- From: ashok tewari <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, Jul 7, 2010 9:25 am Subject: Re: [Mind's Eye] Re: Parallel Universes Cannot say much about your chain of thoughts, though commonplace ( for they're the very same that held sway over me not so long ago ), because they have roots and causes within you. The self is not negated but known. Which isn't being superior - inferior but being true, without the least psychology we are all caught up in. On Wed, Jul 7, 2010 at 6:45 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: You are apparently saying that awareness can be pure (free from contaminating subjectivity hence by passing interpretation). Further that the experience of 'pure' awareness enables the experiencer to obtain an assumed pre existing knowledge of everything. In that case I am doomed to experience impure awareness as it makes absolutely no sense to me that what ever I perceive does not necessarily involve something of my personal self added to whatever awareness I have. Further if such pure awareness you claim exists which I think equals the claims of the mystic's assertions of ineffability of such pure direct awareness - then to speak of the unspeakable seems to me to be little more than an expression of spiritual narcissism. To me at my age of 73 - this talk translated into human talk is really saying something like: I know something you don't know and what I know is vastly superior to what you know and don't play word games with me when I say no words can describe it because that is the truth and too bad you don't know it. -----Original Message----- From: Molly <[email protected]> To: "Minds Eye" <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Jul 7, 2010 7:48 am Subject: [Mind's Eye] Re: Parallel Universes Very good!
