Do Sights, Sounds, Feelings, Tastes, Smells, Thoughts Occur In Any Place, Or Do They Not Occur In Any Place?

[Joseph Maynor]

I'm starting to flatten the illusion out of the Naive Reality paradigm.

Do they occur at any time?  This is getting very counter-intuitive.  

You can kinda appreciate this if you set a radio next to your bed.  Then ask yourself -- is the sound I hear in space or time?  Sound is the sensation of sound that you experience.  You may sense a directionality to the sound, like it is a vector.  Does this mean that sound is directional?  Or is this a belief laid on top of the raw sensation of the sound itself?  Have you tried to unpack this?

The Self can't really be thought of as being distributed across any 3 dimensional space.  I know we often use this model to explain the Self, but it is false.  The camera can't go from a cone shape to a sphere.  That's just going from one finite model to another finite model.

How can we be a self-aware field of sensations outside of space and time?   It seems that this cannot even be conceived of.  This is where theory has to melt into practice right here; where theory ran out of gas.

There is no me that is at the center of the self-aware phenomenal field.  Sensations in the phenomenal field do not connect to a me.  That is a false egoic belief.  This is tricky.
