I like that I don’t care about labels aimed at me anymore. I arrived without a label. I love that.

No one is forcing you to like my name. I like my name, and so that’s all that matters to me.

Yeah, it was a spontaneous awakening out of the blue, something just clicked, the penny dropped, and I believe my brain was naturally wired for this to happen. I wouldn’t call it mystical, it was very ordinary actually. I remember being 5 years old and thinking how the fuck did I get here, the rest is just a very boring long story.

My name is Bogoftheeternalstench.

Yeah of course, but so what, it’s still a nothing burger. It’s nothing special. Once upon a time I would be offended by words, but now I’m not anymore. I’ve seen through their illusory nature. They are nothing to me now.

It’s possible because I’m living testimony of the possibility. It’s not even pretty or ugly or anything really, I don’t care about labels anymore. I understand the conceptual dream for what it is, and it doesn’t frighten me, or really excite me to be perfectly honest. I’m just completely neutral these days.

I know enough about nothing to understand there was no intention on your part to come across as disrespectful. I have stopped talking labelling personally. So no problem, have a wonderful individual experience. 🙂 it’s all you’ll ever know whilst you’re experiencing this temporal knowing.

Shit happens. And I’m absolutely fine about that. It’s just what it is.

Well I don’t actually care. I’m just happy being a nothing burger.

I’ve only claimed the sense of separation has fallen away. The rest is in the details, which I’m not particularly interested in tbh, labelling this and that is just pointless spiritual jargon, all rather unnecessary. All I know is that there’s absolutely nothing being me, and that’s that, full stop. And how am I supposed to know what 4 random capital letters are supposed to mean?

I don’t think that’s possible to have no sense of self. The sense of self whether it’s impersonal or personal still arises as and through the body. It’s just that I no longer believe there’s a “ someone” who owns these arisings, rather, I understand them to have no author. Neither is there any control of them, they just pop in and out of awareness without any prior warning, unscripted and without restriction or limit.

What does DPDR mean? I function as an ego of course I do, but the difference is I know it’s not my ego, I know no one owns or controls my ego, my ego is simply everything functioning as an ego. That’s all.

What do you mean when you say that the you here are currently not depersonalised?

As for the thread title. I agree. From the perspective of myself here, there’s nothing else is happening. I only experience reality from here. From the perspective of someone else’s I, there’s nothing else happening, there’s only the experience of reality from the I there. I understand that the I is just another word for awareness which is unlocalised everywhere at once, and yet is localised in the knowing. Of course there’s going to be I’s in this writing, how else is it going to make sense to the reader. The I is the story of selfing.

I’ve only just come to read this thread for the first time, so have not been aware of the discussion. I switched off notifications arriving in my email, so I have no awareness of what’s being discussed on this forum unless I intentionally choose to read a thread. I don’t read many threads and definitely not all of them. Just the ones I am particularly interested in, which is not many tbh. I can confirm that my sense of separate self has fallen away permanently. And is why I am able to fully comprehend Jim’s message without any struggle or confusion. Best regards.
