Both at the same time, where time doesn't exist. In the limited, individualized form that I and you are, I feel ordinary pain, ordinary hurt feelings, ordinary experience. It's not a matter of belief, it is real, Yes, I can feel insult, put downs, put-ons, depression, illness, disgust, irritation, annoyance etc. At the same time, I am EVERYTHING THAT IS. In writing to you, I am in the individualized state, as well as the infinite state. It's true your insults are an illusion of the relative state, and so is my response of hurt and annoyance, so what are you trying to prove, that because I feel insult, that somehow you have got one up on me, that you have proved something significant, that somehow you see more, are more, and have the superior point of view? What is it that is really bothering you? That someone, me, has seen something, knows something, is something that you are not? Or that you know something I don't or won't understand or know, and you have some kind of moral responsibility to straighten me out, to inform me that I am wrong, that you can see the truth and I cannot? Your last comments were nasty, insulting and mean-spirited. Is that me, or is that you? Take some responsibility for what you are putting out, and stop it.
