Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 In the natural state there is no entity who is coordinating the messages from the different senses. Each sense is functioning independently in its own way. When there is no coordinator, there is no linking of sensations, there is no translating of sensations; they stay pure and simple sensations...What functions is a primordial consciousness, untouched by thought. Every time a thought is born, you are born. When the thought is gone, you are gone. But the 'you' does not let the thought go, and what gives continuity to this 'you' is the thinking. Actually there is no permanent entity in you, no totality of all your thoughts and experiences. You think that there is 'somebody' who is thinking your thoughts, 'somebody' who is feeling your feelings --- that's the illusion. I can say it is an illusion; but it is not an illusion to you. -U.
