The reason I have an enemy is because I have "self."
If I no longer had a "self", I would no longer have an enemy.
Love the whole world as if it were yourself;
Then you will truly care for all things.

Any man not in PRS at eight will spend a night in the box. There is no posting in prone position in bed. To post you must have both legs over the side of your bunk. Anyone caught posting in prone position will spend a night in the box. You get two threads. Every Friday you put the youtube thread on the top, the boobs thread on the bottom and the political thread you turn in to the lawyer, Gil. Any man who turns in the wrong thread spends a night in the box. No one will sit on the PRS with dirty pants on. Any man sitting on PRS with dirty pants will spend a night in the box. Any man who don't bring back his empty beer bottles spends a night in the box.
Any man posting stupid shit spends a night in the box. You got questions you come to me.
I'm nehemiah, the floorwalker. I'm responsible for order in here and any man that don't keep order spends a night in the box. I hope you ain't gonna be a hardcase, JKiG.

What's the difference between saying this:
The reason I have an enemy is because I have "self."
If I no longer had a "self", I would no longer have an enemy.
Love the whole world as if it were yourself;
Then you will truly care for all things.
-Lao Tzu
And saying this:
Love your God with you whole hearet, your whole mind, your whole soul and with your whole strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.

The mental picture of anyone in this forum posting in bed from a prone position creates a need for Maalox.

Who stole from whom (or is it who)?
The only problem with people loving their neighbor as themselves...
There are enough people in the world that really don't like themselves.

Of course, if we're all One, how can any one truly love themself until they love all things?
Funny story, scientists can't find our consciousness, they can't find the "I" that wills myself to make choices in life.
I think it may turn out to be because the "I" is not of this world. The "I" may end up being proven to be immaterial by science.
In a sense we have two heads, the brain that is of this world that carries out the mandates of the "I" which is not of this world, and dicates who it is we will beome in the world.

What if a large number of people don't have an "I" and are just operating on an animal level? It would be impossible to prove and you wouldn't be able to discern one from another... but it sure would explain a lot of things.

self means ego. to defeat the ego you must have true humility.
btw, I think your point is stronger when you consider that the average everyday mode of being for humans is subconscious, almost unconscious.
Ever drive somewhere, and when you get there you have no memory of how you got there?
Perhaps unconsciouness is the foundation of all consciouness?
