Being passive of mind, reactive, reclusive of spirit, just means we are paying attention.
My thoughts would be that truth is subjective and dependant on one's perspective.

Yes... you have made an idol of yourself... as some thing separ
You are not a thing.... you imagine yourself to be a thing... you appear as a thing in mind.... in time and space.
What are you presently?
Aren't you the space that everything (including thought and memory as well as sound and sensation) appears and disappears in?

You fell that weight because life is heavy at the best of times.
My Conclusion would be that people project personality, if you wish to call such energy then fair play, but it is what it is.
People don't need to be loved, they need to be free, or short of that, at least enslaved rather more equally imho.

Yes, this makes sense.
Here's one for ya. When I think of something that happened in the past... when I review the memory... the viewpoint I am reviewing from is ALWAYS from above looking down on the event playing out from memory. I am seeing myself in the memory, which was definitely not my viewpoint DURING the event.
Try it... think of something you were doing yesterday. Look at the memory playing out. Do you see it as if you are viewing from above, or just the regular viewpoint your eyes originally saw?
Mystifying!

Or i would be lonely due to lack of company more lightly.
I do live on an Island through, but our spirits are just fine, especially our Whiskey which is the best in the world.

Hi N_H.
Thanks for the interesting thought.
Perhaps it would make a good thread? (Viewpoints in our dreams).
Personally: remember dreaming viewpoint as-in seeing out through eyes mostly, although not really noticing or feeling this body most of the time.
Could we describe that as 'first-person viewpoint', as compared to your 'third=person viewpoint'?

So following that train of thought, when some poor soul is being raped or murdered, i guess that's ok because it's not really happening and the perp is actually a figment of there imagination?
I understand what you mean. Right here and right now you can't see your head....... but when you see a memory you can see your head.
