Sefl - thought - communication

[Guest guest]

When we talk about self - we seem to be talking of different

things.

 

The thing/ " thing " itself is one -- it is the observed. There

is no observer where there is one/ " one " . There is no feeling

or sensation of being inside or outside the world.

 

The feeling/sensation of being outside and inside comes with

thought/thinking.

 

It's via thoughts/thinking that a feeling of being separated

from the world arises.

 

This is the birth of a " me " and voila! there's a seeming gap

between this " me " and " an other " / " the other(s) " .

 

This is what happens in communication between humans - it is

more " me " s talking with " each other " .

 

So far the " self " -- it is an idea comes with thought, comes

with thought-reflection(s).

Can one communicate one? One with no audience -- one without

listeners an speakers, one, merely one communicating itself?

 

Have you ever been all alone and sung a song and at first you

were careful for what if anybody could hear you? And then the

song - the singing - took over and all ideas about others who

might or might not be listening - evaporated?

 

That is one communicating one.

 

---

 

To some people one IS the self. And when the self evaporates

there is noone, no self. One is none, and there is bliss etc.

 

To some people " listening " which they call awareness, is one

- is self.

 

See? We are not talking the same language. How can we expect

to be able to talk with each other then?

 

More important: how can one communicate one - when there are

two or more involved in the conversation? It is a mission im

possible.

 

And that's why these lists are such a great space for some of

us. One can communicate one; there is no audience, no speaker

- just one talking. Not so on Facebook and all the other chit

chat places.

 

Ha! The sec I wrote audience, there was an imagined audience

and an imagined speaker talking to them.

 

Till then - one was simply communicating one. One talks, one

plays the jazz, one sings the blues, one acts out in theatre

s and in movies, one writes crimestories ... and so on.

 

A gentleman once said, one has to be the tree in order to be

able to paint/draw it.
