Anita: Is there anything that isn’t a matter of perception? That we are all one being. Others might disagree with me but as far as I can tell we are all one being under the illusion that we are separate entities. That is why I say I can not blame my mother because my mother was me. This goes for everything. I am you and you are me. You are also the chair you’re sitting on and the monitor you’re looking into. You are everything. Maybe there are other truths too or maybe others will disagree with my views. I would love to tell you that I’m the all knowing all powerful Whatever but I would be lying to you if I said that. 🙂

Peter: I consider this thread to be open dialog. I started it just to post my feelings on things. I actually never expected this many replies. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that you have also experienced ego death. Were you looking for it or did it hit you on the head like a bolt of lightening like it did to me? As for ego death I do think it’s more of a transformation. I say ego death but I still have an ego. I just don’t let it into the drivers seat anymore. It does seem to be getting smaller with time although it’s only been a couple of months. Yet it is still there and I must keep watch on it lest it try to create a new identity. I’m happy being no one.
