The appearance is stimulating, fun, and exciting at the "moment"!

Whew!

You had me worried there.

You have a nice ego and I'm pleased that my writing has prompted it to "arise."

Not trying to convince, all in good fun. Who is it that could convince, who could they convince, blah blah blah etc. Obviously my irony is a bit TOO subtle. (My nonduality is better than your nonduality! It's fun to pick that one apart.) Got to go. Dream husband is chomping at bit to watch The Wire, so must cleave, as my ego just wants to be liked!

"Much simpler than all that hoo-hah you're on about!Mike's brain is obviously much bigger and works far better than Suzanne's"

Geez, Suzanne, nothin' personal.

Besides, who are you trying to convince? "Me" or "you"?

And another thing! "The hell of living." In the story of "my" life, been there. Done that. See it as a gift. We never, ever know what twists and turns the story will take, or indeed, never know what will do us "good". Very, very exciting! There's no need to escape "the hell of living." It's all a part of it. The dark with the light, the hell with the heaven, all displayed and lived through us in perfection.

Stuff that comes up, feelings especially, seem super intense. It doesn't seem to be about any kind of dissociation at all. Whatever the character is here, whomever or whatever it is one wants to label it, seems to actually get more singular and eccentric, more "herself", again, very paradoxically. The entire life thingy seems lighter, the intrinsic beauty and wholeness simply obvious. Nothing too dogmatic about nothing. What joy, that anything seems to be at all. The pain that still comes up from "time" to "time" is bearable; life on the front line, really alive. What seems to be missing is the sense that anything is missing; the game plays out and plays on as it must, and what is missing is identification with some separate thingy that is contracted and controlling, that takes what appears terribly seriously. Oh dearie me, very difficult to describe. But wondrous, boundless, and very, very normal and ordinary. Much simpler than all that hoo-hah you're on about! Mike's brain is obviously much bigger and works far better than Suzanne's.
