Again relatively speaking. 

An illusion is a fact. That process of illusion is actually taking place. That’s how I’m using it. 

Also if I am seeking psychological security in an idea, that is fact that I am doing so.

If I believe an in Santa Claus, that is a fact. 

If I am clinging to thought (experience, knowledge, memory) that is the fact. 

Thought is fragemted. That is a fact.

You can't speak relatively about facts, that is your mistake. However I see where you are coming from we seem to just be tied up about the correct words.

Seeking psychological security needs someoene to define what seeking is and what it isn't defined as. It can't be objectively true that you are seeking something because each person has a different interpretation of how far you have to go before It could be considered seeking. It's a fact only to you. Facts can't exist only to you because the word fact usually points to an objective truth. The word you are looking for is belief. Understand what I mean?

If it’s a semantics issue, substitute “indisputably the case” for “fact” then.

Now that you say that I don't think it is a semantics issue because it would have to be changed to undisputably the case for me.

Thought seeks movement in its own security. It’s not a thought-self that interprets this/makes this judgment. As the thought movement IS the thought-self. The thought-self is observed.

You’re speaking from within a thought-self loop, and we are speaking on the nature of the thought-self loop itself, total/whole observation of it.  This whole insight then is expressed through thought for the purposes of communication.

There are beliefs of the thought-self, and there are the facts of total observation.

@robdl I don't understand 

 

Is this this ‘I’ the thinker of your thoughts or is it just another thought (‘I’-thought) taking place in the movement of thought-self? I.e. no thinker, just thoughts. This is to be seen with total observation/insight.

I think he's saying you are speaking from being "identified" with ego/thoughts and that they are speaking from "observing" ego/thoughts in action, as a continues movement, when seeking psychological security.

Or I could be totally wrong and I'm sure someone will set me straight, sooner than later!

Indeed. In writing it is just concept - just a pointing though. For thought-self to absorb the concept only perpetuates thought-self.  There is whole insight into all of this that is beyond word/concept.

Yes I understand that now. But there is no other place that you can speak from other than ego. That isn't to say that you are ego of course

In no way am I indentifying with my ego. However when I say anything to you it is always going to come from thought self and not self.

I would say that there is whole insight into all of this. It is then expressed through thought/language later.  These thoughts aren’t the actual thing but just a pointer. That is more like speaking through ego than from ego.
