Is the fear of being separated for the known self (not that is more

real, in any way) and leaving the confort of living as a human

individual among other individuals. You can say that is fear to be

alone, to be the only one, to be a completely different " thing " and

not what you have believed to be for so many years.

If it was an expansion it would be desirable (at least for me) but,

again for me, it resulted in the anihilation of what " I " was " before "

the non-dual all encompasing nature. Maybe was too soon, too strong?

Maybe Im not ready?

I understand your words, thank you for them, but for me (me me me, I

hate when I sound this " egomaniac " ) :-( but if it is not with you,

the members of this group, it is not possible to discuss this matters

with anyone else in the world ;-)

Tony, thats precisely the thing. After being aware of " that " for four

months in a row! I was desesperated to become a pig, a small mouse

again. Now, 11 years later, I love to be a " simple " human, I love to

be a being among other beings, a friend, a father, a lover, a son...

I

love things as they are, here and now. I might " return " (as absurd as

this sounds because what is real is " that " ) someday, but Im not in a

hurry.

 

Thank you.
