Just realized how funny circle the thought creates.

Yesterday I explored what it is that constitutes one's experience and divides it from others'. The grounding for that came from The Direct Path teachings, which I have read from Greg Goode most recently.

It felt like there is a separate perspective that makes an entity. This it has felt almost all the years to me, more or less consciously. But when I explored that 'perspective', it seemed to require an imagined world or dimension to be in, like black requires white for example.

I could easily boil it all down to single thoughts or feelings. Perspective, personality and possessing an experience were all just thoughts - floating freely in the infinite space.

That was a wonderful insight. There wasn't even a particular body for one to have, unless I had a thought implying so.

So I wanted to share a nice little thing for you, it's called full circle I guess? I drew a picture on a paper, where there are two texts "I" and "You" inside their own clouds. Those clouds represent the believed limitations of the mind. But what the limitations actually are, are just two thoughts floating in the infinite space, consciousness. And the content of the thoughts are those "I"- and "You"-clouds. When pictured, it seems like there are just illusory clouds thinking of clouds, constituting of clouds (thought). :D

I've not fully integrated this understanding, but it made me childishly excited.
