Well written as always CT1118 and certainly thought provoking. I originally went looking for the obvious Shakespeare quote but stumbled on this. Pythagoras said that this world was like a stage / Whereon many play their parts; the lookers-on, the sage

We often don't truly know ourselves until we can look at ourselves from the outside which you my friend have been doing a better job than any I can recall. We, your audience can speak from our seats but we ourselves are also on our own stages. There was an interesting discussion lately about us all watching each other's hurricanes which says much the same thing.

I quite liked the discussion about the WAS knowing fake from real which is where I've always struggled with the standard DB philosophy of "acting as if". My W has known me for more than half her life. She's watched me sleep, she's watched me weep. That is where your comments about accepting the changes that we make on our journeys as part of our own soul as I believe you say as I had become the character to the point where we were one in the same.

In my few interactions with my W I think that she has always seen the real AndrewP as I think your W saw the real CT1118.
