I'm just going to stick with my what are we forum . I think if nirvana exists it's a part of what we are. I did learn I'm being mindful though rather than meditating . Thanks for the contributions . Maybe some folks may have fun here without me . I'll probably read but I'm not gonna post here again . I promise !

Okay read troy . Well I agree we experience a self .
Having said that I experienced my will and my behaviour so I felt as I can observe myself functioning it's fair to say that I am not that functioning .
Then realising this I see even the observation isn't truly me because it can't control whether I observe or not .
It's all just the universe .

Let's move step by step: there is the self. No observation at this point. The only instrument is thinking, memory.
What's next? For most people there is no next. Is there a next? Observation is not happening.
Let's be clear: it's not a matter of will: ok, from right now, I will be observing myself--no such thing, because it's not there to begin with and the will to observe prevents observation from happening.

2 more posts later. Who can trust you? It's time to stop the lies, leave the closet and your life of denial.Step up to the plate and take responsibilty for your actions. The 1st step in dealing with OCD.

I'm starting to feel sorry for Tom. He seems to be floating out there in space, like the embryo in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Hopefully & expectationally - {with 'Higher Power' help}.. When the time comes, when I No longer, have '24-7'/ almost Always available 'Web' access; My 'Higher- Power' connectivity, will/ should, predominate, {if not immediately}, Over my Own 'likes-and-dislikes' acquired preferences! --'CHANGE'! .. Don't you, err.. love it! ..ha!
In any event - I don't doubt that there are Many {Scripture}, confirming verses/ 3rd-person-accounts, to that effect! [ :

I'm not great with friends sa . You know that's another thing with this free will thing .
If you're a failure at something you get to blame yourself . It's not enough that you have to suffer going without in addition you have self condemnation too . Great !!

Be mindful... and bend over for a swift kick on your way out.
Take your imagined problems elsewhere. There are no problems here.
oh BTW .. your choice to not solve your problems is the right one tom. They are imagined.
I'll make it simple. Imagined problems don't exist. By definition there can be no solution. But here is the conundrum.
It is a problem to imagine problems. Solve that.
