New morning snipped: And "ME" has always seemed a strained description or metaphor. More apt would be "we", but that still implies many and doesn't feel like that. The well is one. To equate this Oneness Well with this localized apparatus -- which in common language is called "me", doesn't fit my experience (and that is not the possessive form of "me", its the elsewhere form of me). But this experience may be different from others.
TomT: It was my experience for a while that Me had gone away. In retrospect it became obvious that little me was overwhelmed by the immensity of the wholeness that creation Is. As this experience was settled into and more knowledge was forthcoming it became obvious there really was still an I but it was not the same I that seemed to have gotten overwhelmed. Eventually it all filled up as the fullness of I but again that is not the same I that seemed to go away. THis new I, was the understanding of the wholeness and the paradox of being an individual and being cosmic at the same time. Tom
