im sorry.... i have ADHD or something...
well i feel skeptical but open minded. if its true, i feel that it would be a wierd world we live it, and maybe sad. and i also feel scared at the same time since if i dont exist what does this mean about death and the afterlife? above all else, if i think about it hard, i feel confused...1). how do you feel. Really let it sink, and answer again.
i understand... so there are 6 types of ways of experiencing, got it. so emotions are a byproduct of thought, or the way the ego reacts to thoughts2). yes, it may seem as thought emotions are separate phenomena, but they are really what happens when thoughts and sensations sort of 'collide'. before thought comes in there is just experiencing. when a thought comes in, it can cause a sense of separation / duality, and this produces what we call emotion. but if you look carefully in your direct experience, you can break down all experience in to those 6 sense streams.
I am not trying to get you to believe anything though Nick, however, This is a skillful way for you to break down your in-the-moment experience so we can investigate the illusion further. play with this further. get up look around... see that it is a combination of all 6 of these, at all times. simply put, there is Experience, and we can break this Experience in to 6 sense streams. cool?
