When I venture out into the philosophical jungle of my thirdself, I quickly encounter the “fundamental questions”. These are the most important existential questions. Kant’s three questions come to mind. The problem with this exercise is that questions are secondary to something more fundamental: every moment I am awake, I want something. Whether I want… Continue reading What is the fundamental question?

I only trust my experience
I am led to believe that the world and my existence are complicated, unfathomable things. I am led to believe that there are brilliant men and women pursuing this truth every day, and who know more about my own life than even I do. I am supposed to sit around and wait for all these… Continue reading I only trust my experience
Visualizing triself
I can momentarily numb the pain of my illness by visualizing and entering triself. I start by repeating, “I am existence”. I feel the words within my secondself; this is me. I can “see” the words reverberating within me, behind my eyes. I am existence. I am existence. I am existence. I trace my inner… Continue reading Visualizing triself
The selfist model
Who am I? I am existence. I am everything. While I conceptually accept that I am existence, I believe and thus behave as if there are things which are not me. This disparity between who I am and who I believe I am is the origin of the illness I experience as awakenings. To heal,… Continue reading The selfist model
My life is my bible
The Bible supposedly reveals the nature of God and his character, expressing his message to the people. I can read the Bible and receive guidance and wisdom of generations before me to confront and overcome any challenge that I face. The notion of a set of characters and events that I can reflect on to… Continue reading My life is my bible
Thirdself emanation
Thirdself emanation is everything that appears to happen “outside of” my familiar physical self. It is the people, places, and things in my environment. It is the chair I am sitting in right now, and the computer I am looking at and typing on. It is the mountains in the horizon, and everything I can… Continue reading Thirdself emanation
I am the marionettist
For so long I have ignored the vast, endless theater in which I sit alone, watching the stage-play in front of me. But I have only to close my eyes to see it stretching outward in all directions. What I have thought, and actively think is me, is just a small point of awareness sitting… Continue reading I am the marionettist
Imaginistic distortion, unfinished…
I started this incantation but have not finished it completely. I lost my way on it and will search for a better way to explain it. I can see the distortion by comparing the following two statements and then reflecting on their actual differences in light of how I perceive their differences. I can imagine… Continue reading Imaginistic distortion, unfinished…
Describing experiential triself
I am in triself as I write this. While secondself thoughts of people, places, and events vie for my attention and awareness, in triself I remain centered in my moment. I experience a constant pressure around the crown of my head, and I both conceive and perceive that my experience divides into three layers. My… Continue reading Describing experiential triself
How selfism relates to thirdself ideologies
My thirdself ideologies are all the philosophies, religions, and perspectives that originate “outside of me” within my secondself imagination. They come to me first as information I can only imagine, but I cannot directly experience without additional second- and- thirdself movement. This includes all beliefs, facts, and pieces of information I have acquired and assembled… Continue reading How selfism relates to thirdself ideologies
