reality of no self // liberation?

[clyde]

Clyde - One of our friends here pointed out something amusing to me that I thought I would share with you. My name is actually Bonnie.

uh oh! :-) where's the hail of bullets when we're least expecting it?? at least we had a spot of adventure first.

The discontentment with the current state of "enlightenment" - lack of peace, too many automatic reactions, etc. is in itself just an appearance of self. It raises its head where it can- why should it stop just because some insights have been won. All just memes competing.

that's exactly what i've been thinking. thanks for saying it better.

What to do about it? I don't know. Just watch it happening, I guess.

prezactly.

Deepening the liberation is continuous it seems, but now thoughts and emotions, even reactions, still surface. Only they don't have that belief of self to reflect off anymore, so they dissolve away into the void far quicker than the used to. There is no need for things to get out of hand. Nothing is held on to for very long. It's old patterns playing themselves out and dying away. There can even still be sense-of-self residue, even if self if no longer believed in.

okay, maybe that's what's going on. patience young grasshopper.
