Noticing the non-existence of a pink elephant, is the the pink elephant, again. There is no other pink elephant that the thought of it, and both noticing that we are thinking of a pink elephant, and thinking that we are not thinking of a pink elephant is the same pink elephant. It's the same with the seer, or self, noticing its absent is bringing its presence back. There is such thing as seeing, or hearing without a sense of self, but the moment I notice its absence, the self is back. AC wrote something very true the other day, maybe he wrote it as a joke, but it's true: " I have realized often, but it fades away after a while. " This is very true, the sense of self always comes back. Only before realization it was viewed as the real me, and after, it's seen only as a vague bundle of feelings and memories that the brain flashes on and off to navigate the world. The brain uses the self as a computer game about car racing uses the image of a windshield and a steering-wheel to symbolize the car you are driving. This and moving the mouse gives the feeling of racing down a road. It's wonderful seeing without a seer, it's nice remembering it from the perspective of a seer. It's also nice remembering not being conscious at all. It makes death look like a very good thing indeed. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
