If it's your truth, then it's false.

If you don't let the blind down, one is blind as well. The blind must be let down, if one is speaking the truth, because they must put down the false, and so the blind will necessarily be let down.

'tom' - Since you believe that your selfhood, is an 'illusion'; Why even 'worry' about your perceived 'behavior'!?
.. Supposedly, you would regard what others think of you - As merely being, a product of, the impreciseness and unpredictability, of 'Nature' itself! .. Which, even I admit, we're All a part of! o:

That's interesting. You guys are talking about failings. My behaviour isn't perfect and I worry about that
And you are talking about your failings as if it's something partial: failings here and achievements there. It doesn't work like that: if there is one flaw, the whole thing is flawed, the whole thing collapses, perception-wise.

That's precisely because it's 'your view'.

No, you simply assume you have seen it, but there is no direct perception in place, which is why it's still there. Youncannot see an illusion which is there precisesly because seeing was missing to begin with.
Saying something is an illusion(because it is) and seeing it are two different things.
Without a fundamental change in perception, it's the same relative field of suffering. But be clear about it: you are in the same field, and don't bother to end it, for whatever reason--you enjoy it there. Fine, but be clear it's square one.

If your understanding was indeed complete, there would be no OCD in the first place,

It's just a natural result of his things are. We can understand it's an illusion but the illusion persists.

No. you cannot see and not see at the same time.

It's true that at times there is conflict within a person.
For me it's about layers.
So it depends how deeply you want to look.

No. One either looks and sees everything, or they don't and nothing is seen, projections and assumptions not counting(correct or incorrect).
There are no levels, there is no elite.

Precisely because it's a belief and not a direct perception!!

Debates, arguments, beliefs are based on the same lack of perception of facts. And when facts are not seen, the battle of speculations begins.
