Norio: And we see that this energy is emanating from a single
source, and splits up into infinite patterns. And not only that, this
energy is intelligence itself, it's not like how we imagine electricity
to be. It's intelligence itself. And so one can see that everything
even in the manifest world is this intelligence, regardless of the
form that it takes.
Everything in the manifest world is constantly being, becoming,
becoming, becoming, regardless of how static it may appear to our
everyday human senses. And translating that into the thinking,
which is also constantly coming and coming, I saw that the
phantom self itself is not static, it's something that was constantly
recreating in every thought, this idea of this constant separate
phantom self. And so I call it phantom selfing.
TRIP: And one of the things it does, is my major bugaboo, it's
always judging, right, wrong, good, bad, evil, should, shouldn't.
WIZARD: The brain is a biological bifurcating machine.
NORIO KUSHI: Yes. Exactly.
TRIP: One aspect of that judgment that I see that people often, I
won't say that there's two broad categories of judging, but I'm in
the sort of egotistical judging category where I'm walking around
as an egotistical person at times constantly thinking myself to be
correct, and then others to be incorrect. And then I meet a lot of
people in the spiritual community who don't engage in that kind of
egotistical thinking, but often times it's because they lack selfesteem.
And they're constantly getting on themselves for not
being good enough, or not being enlightened enough, you know
what I'm saying?
NORIO KUSHI: Yes.
