And in the meantime, while Tony is following his system to find that source, we are the lucky targets of Tony's "own illusory ego." Of course, Tony should keep looking until he ultimately finds that Tony's "own illusory ego" never happened. > The mind is ultimately unreal, and everything is mind or thought stuff. Exactly, Tony could not have put it more circulatory... what a nice self referential and convoluted thought from Tony's "own illusory ego!" That kind of mentation is exactly what Tony's "own illusory ego" keeps coming up with, ruminating its self-regenerated fodder. Tony's "own illusory ego" of course hates relinquishing those kind of mentations, as confused, convoluted, circulatory, vicious, self contradictory, self reiterative, reciprocally self-referential and self-regenerative as they are. It is definitely the best thought-recycling system ever :-) Tony's "illusory ego" thrives on that kind of "mind or thought stuff" (stuff?), keeping Tony busy all the while, while Tony is supposed to be finding... the source of "his own illusory ego". While Tony's "illusory ego" holds him back from ultimately realizing that the MIND "never happened," Tony does not realize that reality passes him by. Tony and his ego are busily bouncing their reflections back and forth between each other..., actually it might even be more complex... Tony and his ego's activities are akin to what occurs when one stands in a fully mirrored room, seeing those unending repetitive reflections as though they are bouncing back and forth between the mirrors. > The mind is ultimately unreal, and everything is mind or thought stuff. Tony can of course keep thinking that "everything is mind or thought stuff", until he ultimately finds that "mind, thoughts and thinking" are NOT "stuff", and therefore CAN NOT happen. Only physical "stuff" happens, It just "happens to be" that way, Physical "stuff" takes place, takes time, occurs... It "happens" but... NOT IN THE MIND. Whatever stuff "happens to be" (and luckily Tony happens to be bodily included) is contacted by the sense organs. Stimuli from the senses are send through the nervous system as electric firings and eventually electro-chemical input data to the brain cells (that cholesterol blob of fatty matter in the skull). The mind's job (that good old selfless ego is now in its rightful element) is to be a database manager, an attentive stock room manager. The mind is supposed to process data input, analyzing, catagorizing, cataloguing and storing the data, and... depending on what queries may arise, retrieving the right information as symbolic representations and sending that information to our inner or "mind's eye." This mind-at-the-ready is a servitor of the human being, not the controller (the bad old ego), providing liberating suggestions when "shit happens" (I heard this expression a few times here in Canada, I like it, because... ) and providing liberating suggestions when it does not. Brain data represent stuff. Data IS NOT what it stands for. That is a pathological and fallacious mental conclusion. Tony's "illusory ego" suffers from that condition. Tony's "illusive ego" is like a stock room manager bragging about all that stored material, believing and making you to believe that he manufactured all that by himself and that he has the last say to decide what you need and what you will get. The "good old ego" :-) is an anonymous mind, a nameless stores manager, happily serving the client from rich, well stocked stores, everything readily available as needs be. The "bad old ego" :-( is the emperor-with-the-new-clothes's mind. The emperor thinks that he wears beautiful clothes, but he wears them in his mind, a "pseudo mind" that matches his illusory clothes very well... > I will say again ultimately there is no ...(snip)... ourselves or the world.

Well Tony, ultimately you can check that out, but in the meantime you are very welcome to visit me here. Love Wim. 1 250 479 0001 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
