Do you think dan needs your help? He was pointing out the way that introjection and projection work. The other you are dealing with is mind constructed. The label for the other reveals the " I. " You can reverse the words " I " and " you " in any sentence. Where I see meaning, you see a meaningless word game. I can reverse the words in the above sentence and it works well, also: Where you see meaning, I see a meaningless word game.

So when someone says he is selfless in every life situation that > may present.... it is the opposite. I agree. And I'm not saying that I am selfless in every life situation. I am saying that every life situation arises without involving any separately existing " I " ever. What I've said is that if there is no 'I' center here, there is no 'I' center anywhere. You are making this into a word game, but you don't seem aware that this is what's happening. You are taking statements I make about " no I " then making that a personal quality I am claiming for me. And that is not what is being said. I am saying there is no 'I' center in any body-mind organism. The formation of personality, that seems to produce a center, is formed not because of that center, and never really has produced such a center. There is a lens that can be used, in which an I-center is granted provisional make-believe existence. One can use that lens or not use it. It's like using an orange filter to cover your eye. Everything will look orange. Take away the filter, and everything is the color it was all along. This is an analogy. It is not what is actually taking place. One observes directly what is occurring. This can't be gotten from someone else's words or someone else's presence. I don't know how much more clear I can be about this. - D - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, isn't personality something 'others' observe, in construction of perceived 'other'? Or perceived 'self'? I note no personality here. Thoughts arise. Others may perceive certain automatic habits, which correspond to 'personality'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant " Dan, the perceived personality " . Notice our use of terms like " the person behind the words " . Is not the reader who conceives of this person (imaginarily) positioned directly behind the words themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The self being dealt with is equally imaginary. One can sit here all day and declare this and nobody believes it, which is reasonable enough (as inquiry is called for, not belief). Agreed. If it is taken as a belief that is being proposed, all it generates is contention, a target to be fought against with other beliefs. It is only when inquiry happens, that the assumptions being held are opened to dissolution. -- d -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antibodies dissolve when there isn't any body to be anti. That was a stupid thing to say. Anything you say is right. I lose! - d - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when someone says he is selfless in every life situation > that > may present.... it is the opposite. I agree. And I'm not saying that I am selfless in every life situation. I am saying that every life situation arises without involving any separately existing " I " ever. What I've said is that if there is no 'I' center here, there is no 'I' center anywhere. You are making this into a word game, but you don't seem aware that this is what's happening. You are taking statements I make about " no I " then making that a personal quality I am claiming for me. And that is not what is being said. I am saying there is no 'I' center in any body-mind organism. The formation of personality, that seems to produce a center, is formed not because of that center, and never really has produced such a center. There is a lens that can be used, in which an I-center is granted provisional make-believe existence. One can use that lens or not use it. It's like using an orange filter to cover your eye. Everything will look orange. Take away the filter, and everything is the color it was all along. This is an analogy. It is not what is actually taking place. One observes directly what is occurring. This can't be gotten from someone else's words or someone else's presence. I don't know how much more clear I can be about this. - D - geo> To say that there is no center from a centered situation is theory. It is ignorance. I am not saying that this is the case here, but in general. avast! Antivirus: Inbound message clean.

I meant " Dan, the perceived personality " . Notice our use of terms like " the person behind the words " . Is not the reader who conceives of this person (imaginarily) positioned directly behind the words themselves? geof> Yes it is. As long there is a personality here. avast!

I am not saying that this is the case here, but in general. There is no centered situation. There is centered interpretation. To try to locate who one is into an interpretation, to try to make it an actual centered situation, is folly. Is ignore-ance. You have to ignore the truth of who one is in order to attempt it. To attempt to exist in a centered situation, from which to maintain a theory about how there is no center, is a contradiction. To add a contradiction on top of ignore-ant folly, is ... well, it's about as smart as using a sledge hammer to cut off a pat of butter. ;-) If one notices bars of butter spattered around the room, smeared all over the table, and pieces of the table on the floor, it's time to look into the butter knife one is using... if you get my drift ... - d - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying that this is the case here, but in general. There is no centered situation. There is centered interpretation. geo> No problem. Use the term centered interpretation. If an organism is interpreting a center in itself, interpreting as if there was some inner entity, and says that there is no such interpretation happening....well, what do you call that? I am calling that theory. Why do you object? Let us not make this seem to theoretical...lets face it. 99,9999999% of mankind interpret that inner center. Dont we see the results? === To try to locate who one is into an interpretation, to try to make it an actual centered situation, is folly. Is ignore-ance. You have to ignore the truth of who one is in order to attempt it. geo> What those 99,99999999% do? BTW, not that I care much.... === To attempt to exist in a centered situation, from which to maintain a theory about how there is no center, is a contradiction. geo> What do you mean to attempt? People do it because they cant help it. This river of ignorance was not invented by geo. It is here since...........................................................................\ ..................................This river is concrete and real.... and sucks. People kill, rob, torture, hate..etc...because of it. I am not being some kind of a sentimental monk, just making sure we see its reality. Now you will explain to me how these centers are not...please dont. I know. ==== To add a contradiction on top of ignore-ant folly, is ... well, it's about as smart as using a sledge hammer to cut off a pat of butter. ;-) If one notices bars of butter spattered around the room, smeared all over the table, and pieces of the table on the floor, it's time to look into the butter knife one is using... if you get my drift ... - d - avast!
