I2 reminds me of a favourite saying of John Lilly’s: “You are not your opinion of yourself.”

brings an interesting perspective to dating. i went on my first blind date ever last saturday and was pleasantly surprised to find myself spending a wonderful evening with a beautiful east indian girl from trinidad. from a projection standpoint i think i impressed myself immesurably……….we spent over five hours talking about everything and nothing.
the question becomes……….was she a real person, seperate from my projection, or was she a tulpa? i have begun exploring this in my blog because of the deep sense of connectedness i felt on the date, to the girl, but also to what she refered to spiritually and religiously as we talked. two days ago i picked up a book called an unlikeley prophet who`s author escapes me for the moment but the book is all about his relationship with a tulpa……………an entity created by thought.

recently all of my writing has been centered on a movie called the secret, which deals with what the buddhists refer to as matter created by thought.

coincedance?

Yeah, I’m not really sure. I’m just putting it out there. It’s not really a fully developed thought. Please pick it apart. Of course I am in favor of 3. Is there even a question about that?

I’m sensing a bit of a bias in favor of I & You #3. Have you ever met I#3? Have you ever seen a You#3? Is what’s behind there really able to fit into whatever you (I? we?) are trying to signify by the words “I” and “You”? or does it need different words? Is #3 any more essential or real or ‘genuine,’ really, than 1 or 2? Would we be better off if we lived and interacted from the #3 space, and if so, what are 1 and 2 doing there?

Hell if I’m going to try to answer any of those questions, but it’s worth examining what your assumptions are about what’s an “image” and what’s “reality” in this case.
