Huh. I would have thought it could arise without "me"... but now I'm not sure. Is it inherently subjective... is anything inherently subjective? What about vision, eye-consciousness... that certainly arises without "me"... right? lol I don't understand anything. :) Is this something special about feelings that you are pointing out? Or does this apply to all experience whatsoever? >David > >P.S. I don't really subscribe to the block-of-wood state of enlightenment. >When asked what he was, Buddha responded, "I am awake."
