Please expand on the idea of “I am projecting another”. As you sit actress from another what do you see? Another person. What does the other see? Not themselves. Only you see that version of another from your view. The other person is a thought or concept formed in the mind to separate your view from all the others when in truth the I am is experiencing only one I am in multiple versions by using thought to project an image that differs from one another.
This distinction then gives the appearance of another separate from I am. Without the thought there is a person across from me, what is there? Each appearance of a body is the same I am. There is no distinction other than the one in your own mind. If you completely understand this you can no longer make a distinction between I am “other than” with the use of thought. Thought creates the illusion of another separate from self but is this actually true? Without the thought chair, where is the defining line between you and it? The word chair separates you from it when in fact there is no separation.
People or persons are reflections of expectation based on memory. What is memory? Thoughts stored. The changing view of experience would suggest what does not change. What is that? I am. Yet everything out there changes, is in constant movement. What is changing and what is remaining? I am. The movie plays on the screen, yet the screen remains the same. Wouldn’t this suggest that there are images being projected and what remains is the space for pictures to emerge? Without a word to describe the moving images, what is left? No thing. Yet here you sit experiencing it. What is it? It just is. Who does it affect? There is no one to affect. If there are no words, there is no other, there is just I am. Others are simply “I am” reflecting back to itself what it thinks
So if this body and all other bodies are a projection, then we are a projection from where? The universal mind. Therefore on one projected planet there are billions of levels of awareness that I am is experiencing. And then there are levels beyond that. Is that where you come in? In a sense yes. For we are all “I am” at varying stages of evolution, which is still a concept for the human mind. This is where understanding must be left alone for it cannot be comprehended.
It is the I that is experiencing a character called Sue. Not a Sue experiencing anything at all. For a thought cannot experience itself can it? No. Can a thought or concept feel, hear, taste or smell? No. Then there is no actual me called Sue, there is I am experiencing a Sue. A character devised for the purpose of experiencing (verbing).
The eyes do not say hey I am seeing, the ears do not say hey I am hearing? The mouth does not say hey this is chocolate I am tasting? What is experiencing these sensations? I am. And thought creates a story around the sensation. Thought describes the sensory perception in order to distinguish and give meaning to the experiences the sensory body is receiving. Without these descriptions what is happening? It’s just this... knowing this how one could take offense to anything anyone ever said. For these are patterns of thought interacting with what appear to be separate selves. When in fact there is one self-interacting with itself.
Verbing is the experience of being. As I sit on this chair the body senses sitting atop the chair which gives the illusion of a thing atop a thing, is this true? Or is it one thing?
