You write, “I followed some of these stories back through the linearity of their unfolding . . .” Can you say more about how you did this “following?” The idea of “tracing” is very important in TSK, and I understand “following” to be like tracing. What matters here is to ‘follow’ experientially, rather than by telling another story. This can be a challenge.<\/p>\n
The conclusions you arrive at (for instance, about being a “representational” being) have a very different weight depending on whether they are based on reflection, or are in some sense directly experienced. And that depends on the nature of your ‘following’. Your statement, “I have caught myself . . .” is one clue, but I would like to hear more.<\/p>\n
