Discussing and 'teaching' each other the truth on a forum like this one is a result of hanging on to consciousness by Ego. For even one of the smallest word, which happens to be 'I' (let alone Emptiness) is an illussion, fallacy and the like. That's more than fifty words too many...------------------------Maybe I relate.Another test:Do you consider that these messages we passback and forth on this forum are nothing morethan so much " massaging of each other's brains " ?
