I read different topics this day and it seems to me you use the same words in different contests. So, I'd to know your personal terminologies: mind, awareness, etc. What words for what phenomena?  |

Its tricky, because although some definitely are consistent in their use of those words, others will adapt their meaning to the conversation. For example, I might use 'mind' in three or four different ways depending on the conversation being had. In my experience, about the best I can do is ask what meaning is being used in the current conversation. We are often somewhat fumbling in the dark when trying to understand each other!

Okay, well bearing in mind that I might change my definitions tomorrow reality (small r) is 'what is perceived/experienced' either individually or collectively universe is 'the totality of manifestation' path is 'a direction towards something' ego....lots of different definitions, here are 3. 'The separate/false/conditioned self' or 'the identity' or 'the filter of individuated perception/experience' |

I call it "realization" or "manifestation". Ego in my understanding - is illusion of separate doer |
