Balance in all things brings balance for all things connected.
So even thoughts creating ideas about the nature of self and others in my understanding of balance in me over such matters doesn't see that place your mind is thinking. Emptiness in me of such thoughts and balance in my own liberation is simply being myself. When I can't see something in my comparison I know it's my own balance believing in my thoughts that there is no more to open to in self to go deeper into balance and understanding of myself and others. When I freed myself from comparisons in general I felt liberated from comparisons and thoughts believing otherwise. Plus empty space in all thoughts is the arising new seed of potential in that liberation. With balance as always moving in that too.


You don't lose what is important in liberation of self. Everything connects to you and your movements in that becoming. There is no selfless/selfishness in liberation, how can there be?
Yes sure I can also look at this that there no more to open to in myself and therefore I'm really only passing up on an illusion anyway with regards to liberation. In fact I feel quite liberated but the main thing is now I'm genuinely happy where before I was always conflicted and thinking that would lead to a different kind of happiness.
Like I alluded to with Gem. It doesn't really matter to me now what I am or what Self is. What matters is that I am. I don't know what I am but I am and consequently there is you. That works for me.
