Johan, 

You say, " Excellent writeup Martin. In short it appears you are saying one
is an 
AWARENESS, not an awareness unit, EXPERIENCING life and the illusion of 
a MEST universe or any other universe of your making. I could agree to that.
Johan

Kind-of! Lol - I think we have to get away from the idea of "Nouns" -
Whatever we are, we are verbing. We are thetaning, or awareing.  Our
language is in the main metaphorical and possibly many don't attach much
importance to this.  However when we think of ourselves we tend to do so in
terms of mental constructs. We project identities which we protect, protest
and defend. We allocate a position in time and mind-space to these
identities.     
Which is why I like TROM!  -  TROM nulls the command power of the mind which
is reinforced by "self" concepts. 
Just seeing this has made things easier.
Martin
Still tromming.
