My point is spirituality is not really about a person, what we think we are, that that idea is an illusion, a practical illusion, but unreal. What are we really? Suppose we were born without an ability to have a thought, but could experience nonetheless. What would life be like if we could experience without the ability to define things by means of thoughts? We could see our body in a mirror but not give the reflection a name. Do animals experience life like this? When one of your horses looks at you, what does it experience? Does it know what a person is? Does a horse think anyone is actually a someone? How do we as human beings actually become a 'person'. What is that, how does it work, what are the steps by which we become fashioned into what we think we are?
If Robin were enlightened, it would not bother him. If Robin had an invulnerable ego, it would not bother him. If however he lacked confidence in his knowledge of what he is, having a certain lack of self-esteem, whatever that might be, then perhaps it might bother him. He does not however seem to show such a characteristic.
