Being the Do-er | "I" is Superfluous

What we seem to be
when we believe we are being "the do-er"
is actually a four-fold force complex
of memory, attention, intention, and imagination.

The sense of being a do-er is a kind of tension sense, a presence of sorts, a center of experience.

The sense of being is a resonant feeling of moving in some way, of holding in some way, of noticing, of attending expectantly.

It is TetraSeed,
soma,
self
alive.

That isn't the true do-er.

The true sense of the do-er
is the true sense of the doing,
the direct experience of doing,
and this direct experience of doing
does not come from the sense of the self.

Rather, the sense of the self comes from the doing.

It is the doing that is the self.
The other is a resonant, conditioned memory
mutating in the moment.

The "do-er" corresponds to the concept, in physics,
of "space"
and the "do-ing"
is the sense of time.

Time is movement in space, nothing more.

The 4th dimension, time, is movement.
So, the 4th dimension of the self is change:
the modulating of

1. memory
2. attention
3. intention
4. imagination

These are the fundamental movements of existence: The Four, the TetraSeed.

They all occur, together, modulating and vibrating like jello of the mind. It is their modulating, combined with the ongoing memory, the notion of, "I", that constitute a living self.

The notion of "I" is unnecessary. It is only a marker of the persistence, location, activity, and sense of direction of self. It's a marker. It's not the actual self.
