It's not very pleasant for other people to push me hard enough to see how cold I am can be. That's the reason they're dealing with wot's sot before them, and I am is dealing with wot's sot before me. "Thou shalt have no other... "
It's not like I care if any one person dies. We all die and are born again without end. It's always "Once more into the breech..." forever and ever. Screeching bloody murder or no. I'm just not all that emotionally invested in what I'm helpless to change. Charge it to the ground and let the rain settle it. I know perfectly well I can't save him whom I follow. "It's just a fact, Jack!"
That's why I don't tolerate people well who wanna follow using me as their mirror. Why would they play Second-Hand Rose? Why would I not just backhand them into senselessness, if it doesn't make any difference whether I do or not? It didn't.
I can't give them wot I am imbues of it's own making. In this case, I am is not me. The me requires no making. It just is. In this case I am is me. Both cases are always true or not. It doesn't make any difference, because 'you' can't have One without the Other. 'You' are not me. Ever. 'You' can't be-co-me with anything. Only I am is can. Whatta drag, man.

This link leads to a story of how life can be for Aspies. You know, people who behave as if they're possessed by a specific syndrome some guy nay-me-d Asperger (1906-1980) foretold. He pro-spected it, and found gold in his a' priori speculation. If so-me people are not that way, then they can use this way to display their wares as if they did. "Any ol' port in a storm."
If you were to look it up on Google you'd find that the behaviors Asperger defined was basically concerned with a limited number of people who functioned at extremely high levels of focus in such a way that made time fly when they were having fun. After a while, the only way they could have fun was to make ti-me fly. No blame.
One of the problems that Aspies are supposed to have according to Asperger's description is evinced as a difficulty in communicating with other people. They don't seem to know that it's okay to treat other people objectively. Apparently, they can't discern in real time that the other people is a separate entity than themselves. They can't anticipate the intent of the other as if it were not their own intent too.
In my opinion, that's the polar opposite saying "You are not me." I am is me, but 'you're not. The attitude of the other people not being who 'you' are is necessary to remain conscious of the reality in which intent actually matters. It is by denying that 'you' are me that I am can provide itself with a ground-of-being that allows me to participate in a world in which 'you' are not me.
In some world in which you can actually be you, and not part and parcel of what I normally observe as just little ol' me, I can practically guarantee 'you' will not enjoy being treated by my me as just another of it's spawn. If your you ain't got legs, why would my me not persistently slap you silly to keep you in line with all the other children who live in her shoe? She's got so many children, she do not know wot to do!
Does that mean that 'you' have to find your own ground-of-being in order to maintain consciousness in the world in which I am has already established for itself that you are not me? Do 'you' have to deny my me as any other ol' 'you' in order to be persistently conscious of equal footings of subjective denial?
What's fair about me denying who- you-think-you-are in order to individuate as my Self to force your 'you' to reach for what it takes for-you-to-join-me on an equal footing? Shouldn't you make some effort to matriculate to your own ground-of-being without me always having to host your monkey on my back during my magic carpet ride?
Denial is the sa-me as abandonment of the ego. According to the latest cognitive studies in their most believable journals, 'they' say that we all astral travel if we're not focused on "doing" something. I've written about this dozens of times. Astral travel is the same facticity as day-dreaming. If your 'you' daydreams, it astral travels.
The reason I know this about myself is due to speculating on what can happen using the contents of my remembering vision as my source for forecasting. I don't knead double-blind tests to bolt the barn if the gates left open. It's just what people born when the planet Mercury occupied the astrological sign Aries.
This mention of astrology is what brings me full circle to the link I posted about Aspies. They don't appear to readily recognize the run-of-the-mill signals humans pass between each other during face-to-face attempts to communicate little more than the time of the day or a mutual comment about the weather. That's because they astral travel more readily and more frequently than your average bear in Jellybean Park.
Astrology is a map for that, but there are other oracles like the Book of Changes for learning to recognize the social signals homo sapiens pass between each other as a form of communicating amicably. Learning to use oracle to pick up where others left off is not the hardest thing to do. The hardest thing is not to do it and keep on keeping on.
Getting diagnosed as an Aspie might be a real step up for me. I studied all kinds of systems to assist me in being able to stand under the wisdom of the wise domes. The occult systems helped a lot. Eventually. The mother of all the occult systems is astrology. It practically takes an Aspie or a person like me to be able to reach deep enough into this ancient art for it to finally make sense in the sensory realm. Astrology is not about objects in the sky, it's about people.
It's about learning how to give people the wiggle room they need to be their most admirable self. For that to happen one must be able to recognize that they're not you. They ex-is-t because they provided themselves with their own ground-of-being just like you have, and if they're not, if they're hitching a ride on yo' star ya' gotta toss them off as ballast if they won't "see" the light.
According to this research about why humans are smarter than chimpanzees, and the testing and retesting of what humans do when they're not performing accepted rituals that won't start a fight, they're doing what only humans can do, and that's leaving their bodies in the meantime, and going for a spin around the universe looking for the possibilities you once had that somehow got lost along the way.
In other words, we're all always on some spirit quest when we not taking care of monkey business. One of the most comedic scenarios I've ever witnessed was about hordes of cartoonish careactors popping in and out of ex-is tense, and laughing uproariously about what was going on 'back there'.
