You seem to have a pretty strong opinion yourself about my subjective experience. And you are denying my insights about knowledge and doubting my POV just as I am yours. I have no need for your pity, I love my life and enjoy questioning statements like this: "Yep unitary is my experience." In what sense? There are ways of understanding that which match my experience of my individual life's connection to the rest of life. I have my share of mystical union with everything awareness. We may just be interpreting this experience differently since I don't view guys like Maharishi as experts in what this means. You are proposing this insight as if you are on a superior level. Why do you make such an assumption? Perhaps you are describing a state of mind with religious terms that I find quite ordinary in my own experience. Perhaps what you are making such a big fuss about and trying to use as a put-down is just another way to express being human, no more or less than the ways I choose. Maybe the specialness you are grasping at with such expressions is really an insecurity about just being another human on the same level as all other humans. In your idea of experiencing unity you behave like a sorority debutant trying to create artificial distinctions between you and me. Your pride in your beliefs reminds me of every other super religious person I have talked to. The terms change but the "I am special and superior" surety remains the same. I don't pity you Doug. I just disagree with your claim of special insight into how life works. I don't believe you, or Maharishi for that matter, has life all figured out. If you are enjoying your POV, fine. But you don't have to be a dick about it. > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, cardemaister <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > IMO, one of the best "proofs" of the fact that individual > > consciousness is subjective experience of some quantum > > mechanical (or possibly "deeper") phenomena is that Erwin thought so? > > > > Wiki: > > > > Schrödinger stayed in Dublin until retiring in 1955.
