Hi Samy

No worries Samy, confusion is what I do 🙂

I agree the ego, sense of self has a important role to play in our experiences. That said it helpful to remember that you are not your ego.

Duality – problem of opposites.  Ego consciousness tends to arise through the tension of opposites.  If we only experience warm we could never become conscious of cold or this thing called temperature. Ego consciousness tends to experience the world as either this or that, black or white, either or = duality.  Helpful for survival but it also separates us from each other.

We have become conscious of temperature yet how is it that the same temperature can be experience one moment and cold the next.  Something appears to amiss with ego consciousness breaking down experience as being ‘either or’ – duality. A ego may experience this uncertainty as suffering.

Unitive conscious is able to experience the world without dividing it up into opposites.

With regards to the story; A broken leg could be seen as having been a bad thing OR a good thing depending on perspective (duality) . A Unitive awareness might experience the broken leg as it IS and not a Good or Bad Either Or…

Enough of that confusion..

I like the meaning you found in the story.
