To answer your question with any insight and accuracy, first one must ask of you, who is this 'me' and 'my' you are referring to?
You see if it is the limited 'you' of boundaries, likes, dislikes, time constraints, height, width, and length constraints , thinking one is the actual doer of things ( artṛtva1) ,of smallness2 that is one conversation. Yet if one views themselves as akhaṇḍākara3 that becomes quite a different conversation.
But yajvan, why even bring up these notions ? I don't get it!
Because of what you have said in your post,
I have been reading the
Śiva Sūtras, and I have been seeing some of the things I revealed in those first posts in the book.
When you are within the śiva sūtras the very first word is:
चैतन्यमात्मा॥१॥
caitanyamātmā||1
this says,
pure Being/pure consciousness (caitanyam) is the true nature or form (ātmā)||1
But of what , the true nature or form of what? Of everything.
So, is your question from the level of fullness , wholeness , without break or pause? ~or~ from a+pūrṇam+manyata – not (a) +wholeness (pūrṇam) ?
It is the ( ontological4) difference between infinite and finite.
इतिशिवं
iti śivaṁ
1. artṛtva - the state of being the performer or author of anything
2. smallness - āṇavamala is the blemish (mala) of smallness (āṇava)
3. akhaṇḍākara = akhaṇḍa – whole, entire, not fragmented + ākara =plenty, a rich source of
4. ontological - dealing with the nature of being ( bhū) ; the study of existence; this is the core of the śiva sūtras. Why so? Existence is predicated on Being, and this within this school of tought is none other than paramaśiva.

यतस्त्वं शिवसमोऽसि
yatastvaṁ śivasamo'si
because you are identical with śiva
