If you think you understand the nature of self.........you don't.
If you believe that you have a handle on reality.........you haven't.
If you cling to the idea that your mind is able to know anything concerning any spiritual matter.......you are mistaken.
If you think that any human being..........at any time in history......has been capable of grasping what's going on.........you are deluded.

No matter how much we search, or how long we study, no amount of learning will ever bring us closer to understanding the nature of self.
It says so in the following article ......

However, it doesn't stop the restless mind from it's futile quest..
I love talking about nothing ...
it is the only thing i know anything about.

You are a persona whose totality is composed of nothing but swirling mnemonic debris......empty in the center.
You are not the "oneness out of which everything emerges".
That is merely one more mind map.

For "a mind map" there has to be "a mind" and "someone who owns that mind", otherwise you're talking bollocks...
but for the rest, nevermind the bollocks...
Re: If you think you have it...........
Do you believe that there is only the one (please try to resist 'advaita speak' by saying there is not even one etc.) 'instance' of the persona that is composed of swirling mnemonic debris i.e. the one that is evident right now. Or is it the case that this persona arises with each apparent organism?toombaru wrote:

If there is one, that amounts to solipsism.
If there are many, are they separate, discreet and self-originating...
Or part of a whole?

Not/Is not, oneness/separateness, everything/nothing, emerge/fade.You are not the "oneness out of which everything emerges".
The difference is no difference.
