Tayzer,

You never ever have to thank me for a response, it is always a pleasure.

I can certainly see how having your dreams always contain sensory input would blur the lines without the need of psychedelics, and I think i understand your mind in a mind analogy a bit more clearly now. If I'm understanding you clearly you're saying that your Ego/waking self, is the mind within the greater experience of reality which is in and of itself a mind?

Leo Gura in his spiritual enlightenment videos asks the query of where did reality come from? And ultimately settled on reality is a bubble within an infinite chain of bubbles as his most preferred answer.

I like this answer too. My Ego is a bubble within the reality that is my life, which is a bubble within the greater life of the earth and the universe as we know it, which is a bubble within the irrational infinite universe. Conversely my thought constructs are bubbles within my Ego's bubble, and their thought constructs within them. In that sense a mind by it's very nature can contain many minds, and those minds too can contain minds. The question ultimately is which mind do you identify with.

Freedom comes from not identifying with any of them and learning to just go with the flow. I love the Doctor Strange analogy for this, it may seem like you'll never have control, but by surrendering it I assure you you will gain some. It is an odd concept surrendering control to gain control, but if you agree you don't have control now it makes it pretty easy to surrender what little control you believe you have. Only by completely surrendering can you witness the ebb and flow without you playing with it, that will give you a way to learn it's in's and outs, and ultimately how to navigate it.

And certainly there are more questions than answers! For what are answers but questions in and of themselves?

Enjoying our chat,

No One at all.
