The 'i' concept is not real. Like Allan Watts said in the quote you discussed on the "Saturday quote podcast."
But the experience of it seems real.
I can see that we are the lifeforce/consciousness but on the other hand my experience from nanosecond to nanosecond differs.. i sometimes really get lost in the stories the i (made of thoughts intangeled in each other) spins. Full of blame, selfpity, anger and fear. Then my body gets contracted, my heart area hurts. I want to have control (to stop it) but that keeps the whole structure intact.
When the "i" gives it up, i notice the story collaps. And i am free!
But there is still a need for control, how can i lossen this? Or is that (the need to lossen it) the problem? What to do?
