Thanks for responding dude

I always refered to insight as a prior to knowledge/experience-memory seeing/action. From a place of timelessness there can be insight that is whole, not fragmented by the mind-body(images-knower-knowledge). So to me insight is a holistic action that sees holisticly and is born the immeasurable.

Ah. Never heard anyone refer to that as insight

An example of insight that is not in essence born of knowledge anyone?

The ego, the movement of desire pursuing pleasure, the cultivation of psychological evolution or psychological progression through gradual process (practices/systems/formulas-tradition-cultural religious paths) is all one unit in movement of escape-TIME pushing freedom/liberation into “the future”. To procrastinate dying now. This procrastination of death implies freedom is then actually being escaped/resisted right now. After all that is the function of thought, to solve problems in time. Thought is time. In this is implied conflict/suffering/resistance/attachment, and further identification. Conflict/Suffering, being a continuous progressive movement of psychological becoming only sustains duality/conflict/suffering. We think we can cultivate a path to freedom. But the ego/self that cultivates through the means of a path (knowledge/experience-memory) implicitly puts freedom further away in the future. The ego moves within this mechanistic pattern of time and that ego assumes freedom lies at the end of a long road of progress through conflict/suffering.. And that is also food for self. Just as a self resists suffering which strengthens that suffering, so does the self resist freedom. The selfs job/role is to sustain its own continuity, which manifests itself as attachment/resistance/identification... Resistance to what-is fuels the machinery of ego. Resistance/ego is time.

I didn’t watch this video, but ego backlash is common among dudes and dudets. To me it’s simple..a reaction of “cultivating death” via machinery(time-thought). The more this time is nourished as a means to end time the more there is repression/control/subtle conflict taking place. After a while that is revealed we can no longer depend on the content of the past knowledge/experience-memory (where we feel certain) to meet the impermanence of each living moment(uncertainty). Ego backlash is a result of the ego subtly depending on its content (the old-memory/knowledge/experience) to solve new problems that arise from moment to moment. We try and meet the infinite with the finite. We try and meet the dynamic nature of life with a fixed predisposition(the conditioned past).

procrastination to die..and therefore to procrastinate the actualization of FREEDOM/LIBERATION.

Time implies continuity, and continuity maintains divison between “me” and “my” thoughts. This divison sustains inner dialog(complulsive thought chatter). Instead of looking to quiet the mind(motive/cultivation/time), ask ourselves, why is the mind loud/conflicted/divided/compulsive in its thinking?

Pretty crazy how following an established formula subtly implies freedom will be attained in the future. It seems to be missed because there is limited insight into the whole picture of what-is(time). Time limits this insight to only a fragment and not the whole of what-is. Therefore really what we are doing is resisting what-is(insight). Namean dude?

I see dude. Good luck ?

What do we mean by determination? What is implied in that? fixation of will toward a goal, state of mental resolution with regard to something?

What is implied in cultivation?

A self sustaining mechanism. Loop of time? Is that what you mean?

The self loves to depend on a formula. To reach what the formula/map promises. A self will avoid the map as it is actually(self activity) and seems to be more interested in what the map should be(various paths/formulas and such. This shows some of the trickery of a self.

Why does a self feel it needs to accumulate knowledge-experience(experiences) to find freedom?, and how does that project freedom/liberation further in time/future?

What do you mean by cultivation?

Yeah I’ve noticed a few walking around the town I live lately.

Nice gown dude

Cultivated let go?

Fosho? Its not something so abstract that it’s difficult to see or observe, but sometimes the self distorts the obviousness of it. It’s an important thing to talk about. It is a common characteristic among dudes and dudet’s.

Never in relationship. An obsession about keeping a healthy body, fine tuned vehicle and such ok, but when it comes to relationship, as in psychologically with (ourselves/others/environment)..then no this obsession(image imposition) is destructive. Actually the the reason life is the way it is now.

It’s the relationship between images that causes this. My self image seeks comfort/gratification/validation in the image I project on to another persona or a thing. Without the two images (self image and image that strengthens my self image) there can be a sense thinking/feeling “I” am unfulfilled/empty/isolated/lonely. This can be seen directly by observing ourselves.

The self/ego/experience/‘time’ frame are all one unit of psychological momentum(evolution). The ego that cultivates time/thought as a means to die is really resisting death. Death is not based on a moment in the future or the past and doesn’t exsist as a memory. Death means dying to the known/knower(the content of “the me-time”. Real dying is dynamic and not fixed as a point of time(the past). Real dying is from day to day, moment to moment. Then in that death there is ACTUAL living untanted by time. Then there is the NEW.

To me the path and the self go hand and hand. One unit in movement of attachment to thought-(the entity-past/modified present/projected future). A continuous depending to progressively/gradually cultivate its way to freedom through a map/means/its own time bound continuity(thought). The momentum of the self gets its substance from this compulsion to conform too and work progressively chipping away; by applying what the pre-established path has advised(techniques/practices/knowledge). In reality the self has been in one way or another on a path since “it’s beginning”. A continuous movement of cultivating knowledge/experience to end its psychological confusion/suffering. Once it’s seen that the path a self walks nourishes “self”, then that is beginning of freedom. Is it necessary for us to walk a path to get this liberation? Or is it a fact that that is why we are not free? Or does it take looking at the whole picture of how the path and the self are one unit in movement of attachment/resistance/identification(time)? Can there be a seeing that in order for there to be total and complete action there must be a stepping out of the river of time?

He self is such a trickster heh.
