Terry
Hey Terry, we met at the Apostafest in Dallas last month over at hemplovers. I am Mrs.LennyinBluemont from Virginia. I have not posted on here but one other time. I have been reading the active topics for over a year. I don't think I am smart enough to comment on your thread. After reading, I know this one is way over my head, but I will give it some thought. You are wise beyond your height (& you are a tall one, too.)

I remember you, Trixie! Hi! Welcome to the wonderful world of Terry's expostulations.
Sometimes when I have nothing to say and my thinking is clogged; I'll post a speculative observation for fun and step back to watch the marvellously inventive replies which follow.
By the way, I'm only tall when I'm standing up.

Terry's expostulations
Sounds painful Terry!
I think there's a treatment for that.

Why is it so often problematic to simply sit and investigate into our most immediate and intimate sense of being? Seems it would be the easiest endeavor in the world. What is the obstruction? Perhaps it is revealed in what was casually mentioned:
Thinking is a process our consciousness employs involving ideas. Ideas present objects of thought before the mind. So then, merely thinking about "self" or "existence" isn't possible because a process can't process a process.
A snake swallowing its tail is a good example.

Exactly. Can't get there via the mind.
Problem is we define "self" as the products of the mind, and so there is often inhibition to investigate into that which is not thought: the silent and mysterious consciousness that sees all thought.
