Not at all! I got a lot of pleasure from your clarity in this post; very happy for you....probably annoying for the guide
• What comes up now, when it is suggested that the illusion of self has been seen-through?
'Popping beliefs' will continue, fake-self apparitions will continue; there will still be conditioning and reactivity arising but you have seen through it.
You may forget for a while and feel disturbingly "asleep", but then as soon as you look to see if there is a self at the center of that disturbing experience, you will find no self there (as you just said, "DE is truth and shows no real self," and "a fake self is a fiction, an imagination."
Once a child of a certain age sees his parent take a mask away from their face, he knows that it is his parent who is behind the mask. He can still get disconcerted from the illusion, but he may also laugh, because deep down he gets that it's an illusion. And he will reach over and pull the mask away and reconfirm the truth. In this sense, the illusion of self cannot be 'un-seen', and it can be reconfirmed whenever you get disconcerted.
• Deep down you know there's nothing behind the self 'mask', and you have the skill to reconfirm this at any time. Can you accept this fact? Do you dare? ;-)
Love,
