Thanks, this was a great summary. I've been trying to realize the sense of self as illusory for quite a while, not conceptually (although I think that can help a little), but more intuitively/experientially. It can be very tricky. I think probably the most well known "technique" for doing this is Douglass Harding's "The Headless Way" which was of course influenced by Buddhism. I know many people have luck with this technique, but for me so far it's been illusive. Some people call the non-conceptual realization of lack of self as "Awakening" or "First Awakening" or "Kensho" (a Zen Buddhist term). It's a fascinating topic and something I'm keenly interested in. Thanks again for this cogent summary of the idea.
7:21 Regarding the modular mind theory: “For she had a great variety of selves to call upon, far more than we have been able to find room for, since a biography is considered complete if it merely accounts for six or seven selves, whereas a person may have many thousand…and these selves of which we are built up, one on top of another, as plates are piled on a waiter's hand, have attachments elsewhere, sympathies, little constitutions and rights of their own, call them what you will (and for many of these things there is no name) so that one will only come if it is raining, another in a room with green curtains, another when Mrs Jones is not there, another if you can promise it a glass of wine -and so on; for everybody can multiply from his own experience the different terms which his different selves have made with him-and some are too wildly ridiculous to be mentioned in print at all.” ― Virginia Woolf, Orlando
If more of us realized this, we would be better understanding of other people, of our cultures. The world will be a better place. As long as these words are seen, there is hope. Do not lose hope.
All the saints and sages experienced this order of cosmic Bliss and they put all the experiences on Holly books. But 99.99% thinks that they will do for us everything to bring peace in our chaotic life instead of observing our own actions and moves of body mind. They repeatedly said that suffering is all over us if we follow our Ego mind. And Listening is the only way. But No one listens. So sad. 🙏
@rockyrai7314 - Listening. People rarely do it, and rarer still, do it right. Ultimately, don't complain, or explain too much. It's just your ego , wanting something.
Only consciousness is real. And living a mind wake. What's another for the mind is itself for consciousness.Differbeing and differ perceiving itself in a mind mood.

Love this attitude. This is the way
