Conversations that boil down to semantics can be interesting if we can agree to terminology and conceptual levels. I see what you are saying, "Self" with a big S could mean the ever present awareness that is consciousness that unifies us, and this would be more along the lines of what RP refers to when he quotes the Vedas. Whether pronoun, adjective or noun, "self" in the English language refers to an individual or aspect of individual. Self with a big S in my Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary refers to Supreme self, which gives a capital S to self and is defined:
-- b (1) or Self, Hinduism : atman (2) Buddhism : a dynamic unstable agglomerate of skandhas that in itself possesses no inherent substantiality or enduring quality and that continues in constant flux until final dissolution at death
The very nature of perception is an interesting one and boils down to the nature of reality, usually going back to the idea of consciousness. I think it is all inclusive and all true, and the myriad aspects of experience, others, the organic nature of the earth and universe all integrate to the one pure consciousness. The one and the many.

This puts the Spirit in an obviously separate position from all individuals and because of its omnipotence is worthy of respect , to be worshiped and prayed to.Even though our real essence is the Spirit , it is separate from us and so instead of being called the Self it should be called God and our Father in Heaven.On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 12:37 AM, Allan H <allan...@gmail.com> wrote:My single organic potato is growing quite in my pot Neil, How is your garden going.. it seems that the organic concept has great merit even though the organic substance of the soul I do not understand its essence yet, I know I know that the totality of everything and beyond is all contained within the ying yang of the Allfather.
The physical part of the body ,, the only thing that in=s making any real sense to me is is but a shell (container) in which for the soul to function within this time reality. Duality can exist within time and non-time. The only element of time that exist is the present,, the past has become a record within non-time.
one of the questions that arise is just what is the essence of the Allfather. the organic essence is relatively easy ,, the other essence is of the Allfather is another matter
