Does enjoyment come from the Mind or somewhere else? [Questioner] I like your answers about emotions, they make sense to me... [Oshana] Any relation to "Stop Making Sense?" [Questioner] You can't. But you never will see and act clearly all of the time although you can try and that's a good *idea* if you have a responsibilities to others. This answer is a relief to me, because that`s been my experience and at the same time I have this high (kind of inhuman) expectation to be perfect :-) [Oshana] That sense of relief is an indicator that you are moving towards freedom. [Questioner] The personality does not completely die - otherwise you would not be able to function. Ah, honey, I got ya!!! he,he ;-) [Oshana] I knew this was coming.....I saw the quote at the bottom of your recent email [Questioner] Because the other day you wrote one looses one identity. [Oshana] Aaah, but I still have wriggle room....Identity is not personality. It is what one identifies with in the moment. [Questioner] I think that's just not true. I think actually that the personality is what makes you attractive to others. How one deals with life... [Oshana] When you do not identify with Vicky then who are you? And are you more or less attractive - in that moment? The personality-complex deals with life but who are you? [Questioner] Identification never existed. Only the mind can Identify. It is the Matrix. Yes sure, the mind, the mind our little shop of horrors...but also I enjoy the mind thinking thoughts :-) [Oshana] But does enjoyment come from the Mind or somewhere else? [Questioner] Yes I agree, I already thought if this is mean to you, when I ask you all these questions...on the other hand everything has to come together. I do have many thoughts but I also can laugh about them and especially about myself :-) [Oshana] Finally, the laughter at the thoughts increases to the extent that the thoughts cannot be heard - and they never ever get to come together [Questioner] So, not much more to say for now.
