ha ha ha-- this one makes my head hurt... perhaps a new tactic to derail my mind?! ;-)If we define the 'sense' that it is, as a reaction, a 'feeling', from the senses (via mind), and it IS, as everything, including the 'sense' that it IS. ..or put it another way, What IS may not include a 'sense' that it IS, and still be 'What IS'.
I like this phrasing very much. there is still some mental argument about the organism being subject TO external conditions... but the argument obviously falls into the category of "about." DE says there's just what's here-- all of it, whatever it is, happening right now. that would be life-ing. and the organism Rebecca is certainly an aspect, an expression as you say, of that life-ing.Rebecca is an expression of Life-ing. How can it be any other way ?
the organism is conditioned to protect itself-- i imagine this might get less neurotic but nevertheless does not go away post gate. what must shift post-gate is perspective-- or degree of attachment?Yes, why would life-ing need to protect itself from itself ?
truth is conceptual. but DE is not. i guess a lot of what we're talking about here is still mostly conceptual for me (not DE) and thus I get wrapped up in what's true. fingers typing right now is DE. mind labels the statement "true".Tell me about this concept called Truth. Have you ever seen one ?
I feel like you could say this a million times and it would still be a useful reminder.But choice does happen. It happens at a level of the organism, and is the result of lots of dependent conditions that were in place way before any apparent choice occurs.
