Just wanted to suggest an alternative to Brian's analogy that one's image of self is a balloon. The way I am experiencing it, I feel it as more like a sheet of bubble-wrap with lots of individual cells to pop.

Yes it is interesting Teresa. I don't remember talking about a balloon. One of the actions of self is to bounce this off our own experience. If we fall off a step and twist our ankle we don't put that into analogy. However with psychological things we self reference to possibly avoid the truth. Can I listen to you and get what you are saying? Yes I see how you experience the popping of self. But when you pop the cell the shell remains. Therefore still the center remains. So are we talking about the same thing? I question that. Just because the question must be asked. Nothing personal, just inquiring therefore everything is personal I guess! Lov ya, bri
