<<This assumes that one IS his ego self... that one can't differentiate himself from his thoughts.>> Cogito, ergo sum. You are what you think. <<Again, action is painful when one is full identified with it... if one 'sees' his pain is created by the 'anxiety gap' created by the difference between present reality and where one 'wishes' he would be... there would actually be little or no pain.>> You mean don't worry be happy? In fact you are just postponing pain if one thinks like that. Reality has a way to catch up with people. <<Only if one automatically identifies with his thoughts about what he is seeing rather than the seeing.>> I meant that the individual is not actually seeing 'it'. Before his brain see 'it', ('it' being the real picture), his brain does a conversion from the real picture into something his brain can accept. Into something more palatable. <<And hence all the arguing and often total disconnect between posters here :) >> But hammering 'it' day by day, the brain will take 'it' and start making connections with other disparate information and start to align with reality. Want an example? Take the process a person who is informed he's going to die. He goes through: first denial, then despair and finally accepts it. The BBR's purpose is to cause people to go into second stage, hence the disconnect. Who wants to go into despair?
