You are blessed to have a self

To relate to something implies a relationship. 

To respond to something implies a relationship. 

A relationship implies two. 

Without duality there is no relating. That means you need a sense of self to relate. 

Yet this refers to interaction and process, and your nature is a different matter.

If we were to investigate our experience of ourselves, what would we find?

Likely a ton of content: identifications, self-story, attachments, memory, character traits.

Now, those aspects above might turn out to be ideas, powerful ones, and fabricated. Even the self-experience itself might well be based on concept and interpretation. We perceive and experience things, and the process of identifying ourselves with this and that comes after the experiencing. This suggests what we are cannot be any of it, no matter how intricate and complex our self-identity becomes.

To play devil's advocate, the invention of self might be a representation of Lucifer's metaphor: a fallen angel that would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven.

Does the source not happen on its own? Is every action not also its own source, a holon & link within the evolving Self? 

Things manifest only if they have been willed to manifest. And there is only one will. The will of god. Hence all activity is the will of god in the end.

@Salvijus You are getting too dogmatic with this 'Self', and that proves you have not dissolved the sense of self

Blessings.

Blessings Everywhere.

You can't run away from your self. Where ever you go there you are

 How could you exist as a process?

Love is an action and it's what you are. It's an expression of the Self.

I am not anywhere because I don´t exist. That´s why 'I' got liberated. Self removed itself from existence.

Now just some fireworks are being enjoyed before the act comes finally to an end. No purpose in keeping this game for much more time.

When dream comes to the end, you will still be there, free to make another dream.

Hmm, how can intrinsic being be a verb? Wouldn't that allude to something relative?

Would you cease to exist if that activity were to be stopped?

We keep bumping into this confusion between true self (being) and false self.
