Edgar,
I asked you if your concept of 'self' was real or an illusion.
You answered:
>BTW to answer your question I have no concept of self.
>If I had one it would be an illusion, though a consistent one for sure!
I find that a queer response, or at an unexpected one. First of all you
seem to have a very persistent concept of everything else, like causation;
and secondly it is not at all consistent with my experience.
I do have a concept of self. In fact I am operating under the concept of
self right now. I also have a concept of causation, time, good/bad,
right/wrong and a whole lot of other things. I know, however, from previous
experiences that these concepts of self and the others I've mentioned are
illusions. I don't always operate under illusions such as the concept of
self, and even when I do the my illusion self is not always exactly the same
- so I would say my concept/illusion of self in inconsistent.
For what it's worth...
...Bill!
