When I first read that I was about nineteen or so and quite frankly a lot of it went over my head so fast it whistled. It's been quite a Journey since. All those years ago, was he talking about quantum theory? Because the energy strings that the physical Universe is made up of have no form in themselves, and if you look at the strings from the theory they certainly look as though they're being seen through a heat haze. If you are picking up on the energy and tone - and tone is vibration after all - is that quantum entanglement?
The body is quite dense vibration while the Soul is...... What is the Soul? Is it a single vibration or - like the human voice - a wide range of tones of a range of vibrations?
That's the interesting thing about consciousness, because we can never quite nail it down and the more we become conscious the more there is to be conscious of - and the more we become conscious of what we're not conscious of. But all those parts 'make us tick' and if we take away just one small part we're in deep trouble. Personality is an aspect of the ego, so if we didn't have en ego and therefore no personality? I wonder how much of a dent that would cause our Spiritual Journey if it was based on the Spirituality of loneliness?
Often the question is what are we actually discussing? The Spiritual ego and the psychological ego are two very different beasts and that's where this discussion falls down, because ego is often portrayed as an ideology and forget the psychology. Ironically that brings them right back to their own definition of 'ego'.
I guess we're both in the same place, Moonglow. There's a Spiritual concept that we don't actually move or Journey, we are static while reality moves in front of us like the frames of a movie reel but it happens so fast that we perceive continuity. That I can figure because often while I'm so engrossed in an action movie I's static but there is the perception that I'm moving. Now not so much, there's the feeling more of standing still while reality happens all around. It messes with the head that's been used to thinking it moves and not what's around it, but it's hard to shake the feeling just the same.
Enjoying the wholeness indeedy.

Namaste Greenslade,
Having been visited by loved ones who have departed from this realm of existence, would say souls have thier own quality and tone. I can sense and at times see who it is that is communicating. Whether through nature ( crows for example) or in dreams. These lead me to say yes souls have thier own vibration/tone.
Does form exist outside of our senses or what forms in our mind or nature? Hmm, seems another subject, but quantum entanglement seems to question such and explore the possibilities. As far as I can gather about it at present.
Consciousness does seem to shift and change with what I may become aware of or focus upon. Does lead thoughts into how much in held with I myself through what the individual lives and what is brought into the mix by the soul and ancestry.
Feel all this gives rise to formation of a self and with that the thoughts and psychological makeup.
As far as ego, I don't trip on it much now a days. It is just part of this physical makeup. If one relates to the self, there it is, if not, there it is,
, just not focused upon, suppose.
Could be a trick of the shadows and light playing in the mind. What one makes of it or not seems to vary. Which can make things quite interesting.
Yes, life moves around us and one is with in this, IMO.
I am not quite sure if I am always still in it. Just roll with it as best I can at present.
It is interesting what you share about being still while reality happens around you.
I feel reality happens in its own way regardless whether I jump into the mix or not. How I deal with what is occurring seems to be where my mind and actions may go.
