[FairfieldLife] To Archer/ The fallacy is that a *Me* can Gain Realization
Nah, it's more than that. Hitting the thumb with a hammer and reacting is Edg's meat robot reacting. It's a body/mind thing, not the ego per se. Everyone agrees that when we hit a thumb with a hammer we yell, that physical sensation exists after brahman consciousness. The argument is whether there's an individual me that is pure spirit, beyond the body, yet a distinct entity or essence within the universal self. I say there is. Most gurus say there is not.

They are one but they are also two, as a branch can say I am the tree and still be a branch. You can experience being one with the Infinite yet an individual at the same time. And I suspect thats how everyone who experiences it experiences it. Including these people who say there is no longer a me. Hit the thumb with a hammer.

Sattva Purushayoh Atyantasamkirnayoh Pure consciousness and the active intelligence of Buddhi (the Me) have absolutely nothing to do with one another.
