That looks very similar to the SS Minnow. 🧐

I would say appearances seem to be appearing, which is therefore 'uncertain'. i know you and tenka spent some days hashing something out, but actually I see your boats as quite similar in many regards. Have you started on the xmas sherry early?

True Self excludes nothing including the ego. If you drink some sugared water it is one experience. You don't separate the sugar from the water even though you can make a distinction between sugar and water. OK, I can essentially agree. But ego in some sense submits, is "tamed", ~sacrifices~ itself.

Ego does not submit, sacrifice itself or recognize it's role. Ego is a pattern of self referencing thoughts. Nothing more.

Wouldn't they both need iPhones though? Or an aeiroplane....✈, perhaps a boat.... 🚢 Or a teleportation machine.

Well, just accept what makes sense to you. Trying to make sense of everything he says is a fools errand, IMHO. Oh...yes. But I like to cross swords every now and then. And I am not left-handed... Then by all means continue..

Oh yeah I have no doubt that that God is psychological only. So there is no Originating Consciousness? You are essentially an atheist? So what is the meaning of Whole? What is the meaning of Source? What is the meaning of Ground? What is the meaning of the Absolute? If this world is merely a dream world (and I'm not sure where you stand on this), What's dreaming the dream? Anybody.

"God" doesn't micromanage. That would defeat the whole purpose of creation, the manifest. Any notion of " control" is a micromanagment 'dusty. The c0ckpit is empty, ain't noone at the wheel, and the state, is quite headless. Or as I like to say, nobody steering the boat.

*Shhhhhhh!* (don't tell that to the professor ...) No need to worry. The Professor ain't here. He and Mary Ann...., well, they're MIA. 🥴 Scandalous!

"One can have numerous experiences of NS--pure awareness beyond any sense of I am--, and still not attain SR." I propose this quote by ZD to be made the masthead of every page on this forum. Self Realization is when the devotee /yogi experiences Krsna (Param Brahman) appearing in Consciousness. Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu says, " O my Lord, when will my eyes be decorated with tears of love flowing constantly when I chant Your holy name? When will my voice choke up, and when will the hairs of my body stand on end at the recitation of Your name?"
