Sandi Ego wrote (snipped): witnessing is nothing more than the first glimpses of ceding the individual ego to the cosmic ego. after awhile the cosmic ego predominates and the individual ego disappears. just as you said, it is all a matter of integration. The companion of silence which initially seems foreign is later found to be true identity.
Me (truncated): That is my experience exactly, Sandy. And it also seems to me to be the case that language becomes somewhat of an a priori lie at that point. When I am truly my Self, language that was habitual when I was self is not adequate at all. On the other hand, if I write as Self dictates, the results are often strange. And when I first began witnessing deep sleep, I hated it big time because I was witness to a tired and badly managed physiology in all it's debilitated glory that I still identified with to a degree to great for comfort. However, the individual ego doesn't exactly disappear. It's there as a tool or a "mouthpiece" when needed. a Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
