Re: Fw: thought
"I " is not a person The is no such thing as a person . You are never the same person as a child infant teen ager older man/
woman=C2
"I" is the awareness in which the so called person arises and su=ides as an intermittent stream of sensations images feelings and thoughts=. These in turn arise in "I" are known in "I"= and are made out of "I"."I" is infinite being (=ormless') having a finite experience as form. The form is an illusion as it is phen=mena - an activity of the formless. All forms are phenomena. All phenome=a arise and subside in every moment of now .The formless is the only reali=y. It is timeless being. You cannot hold on to a time bound phenomenon. It is not a "thing =quot;. Even the "you" that you call "I" is a time=bound phenomenon.
Nothing to hold on to and no one doing the holding on = Freedom in Being =3D

Hugs, Sperry,

A thought about I Am The U=iverse:
There are millions of people, IN THE MAINSTREAM, who =uy, for example, Greg Braden's books about cyclical universes. 1= they feel, accurately, that the universe is on an irreversibly downward s=iral, I don't think they'll be calmed or comforted by a concept claiming what your title claims.
Can you find some way to say what you must while addi=g to it?
Much love,
Suzanne
I cannot in all honesty
I believe that the universe we experience is totally a human construct

Every universe of every being is their own construct. Those with similar DNA agree most on the construct. The universe of a bacterium in a dish is much different than ours, which is close to that of our dog while the bacterium's is closer to a yeast. These are all valid universes changing with the DNA-encoded perception of each species.
DNA , bacteria, brain --anything humans have given names to are huran constructs --the entire universe including what we call "God"=-is human construct. Reality is awareness and its excitations experienced =s observer and observed -classification and description into form and phenomena are human constucts-products of language-- linguist=c, mathematical, scientific --useful but not fundamental

i really like the concept of usefule construct vs us=lss. consruct go going?
Here is my take.
We experience reality in
=he HUMAN UNIVERSE
1 Everyday reality is a human construct .
2 Fundamental reality is the awareness, the excitations of which, are t=e experience of observer & observed in the timeless mom=nt of now .
3 The fundamental experience of both observer and observed is sensations= images, feelings , thoughts . ( SIFT)
4 Systems of thought ( human constructs ) are many --religious, theologi=al, philosophical, scientific, economic, political, primitive.
Sensations, images, feelings, thoughts are entangled modifications =f awareness , and the result of social and cultural conditioning & cur=ent system of education .
5 Therefore no construct has a privileged position over another. <1=>
6 The construct is real for the being embedded in it.
7 Excitations of awareness are on off modulations of fundamental awarene=s.
8 Excitations are in time , awareness is not in time .

9 Birth , death , body, mind , brain , universe, God , stars , galaxies,=Big bang -anything that has been given a name, by humans ( itself a label = are all constructs.
10 Freedom lies in the experience of identity beyond constructs --p=re awareness/ consciousness --prior to subject/object split.
11All human suffering is the result of attachment to a construct includ=ng the fear of the construct we call death. Death happens to an exper=ence not to the awareness in which experience is born and dies in the time=ess moment of now.
12 Freedom is now in --being

I think you need to modify that some constructs =AO are USEFULL. not stepping in front of a t=uck. some are less useful. . my mother=hated me. . the sky is falling. the check is in the mail= and ill only put it in a little
