    <<What you describe sounds to me like "realizing that
    you are asleep", one of the cardinal points of the
    4-th way (Gurdjieff). To me it sounds like a fine,
    deep realization at that ;-)>>

    Thanks so much for trying to consolate me <sigh> :-)

    <<Personally I have been thinking about an other side
    of this coin.>>

    Can you tell me how many sides your coins have :-?

    <<Sometimes I find, to use your words, a "nice, sweet,
    mental", not SLEEP but REST. That is, I don't DO
    anything at all. First, I have to *try to not do*
    anything, but after a while, this seems to be a real
    not-doing. It is as if my thoughts, and after a while
    myself, ceased to exist. Life goes on, and I know it,
    but almost without me. Mind you, this state I only
    keep for short periods of time.>>

    Well, I was not talking about *this*. What surfaced
    yesterday was an almost perfect illustration of one of
    the negative sides of the melancholic (and phlegmatic)
    temperaments, meaning idleness.
    I hadn't discovered it before, because I was working
    on specifics, while this problem was filling the
    entire landscape, so to speak.
    Well. Guess I'll have a very large mirror :-)

    Greetings
