Someone here

Had a bad time yesterday with trying to deconstruct my memories.. Any kind of memories is an attempt to create continuity and consistance within you. Think about what happened 1h ago, 1 day ago, 1 month, 1 year etc. It feels as if it happened for mostly one reason, consistance with the present narrative of your experience. If you put the consistance on the side, your past memories are equal to those of your dreams, of the movies you watched, of a book you read, of something someone told you, of what you daydream about your future. Try to see that all those memories are one of the same, just with different stories and characters. It's one big story, not the story of the character who reads this. But stop trying to deconstruct your memories. You might reach a point of confusion where you can't remember what you did a minute ago. This will affect your ability to function. You will think you've gone insane. It's no longer an intellectual game. Stay away from these inquiries unless you are serious about awakening. A half assed awakening is equal to insanity. A Complete awakening is beyond sanity and insanity.

@Tim R That's just how I am reporting it after the fact. But you start the inquiry from scratch. You don't assume anything. And then you investigate your memories... Then you reach that conclusion.

Disproving them. Or proving that your entire past is imaginary. An entity behind the eyes somewhere.

Just stop.

It's pure love and goodness.

the rationale for why the human body dies is simply stated as the body reaching its end of life. You die when the body starts to break down, and its parts no longer function. When we hear that someone's died of natural causes, we tend to think of one of two things: old age or disease. These two things don't always go hand in hand. A young person can die of natural causes before reaching the end of their life span. And, on the other hand, an old person can die of things other than age-related complications.

Obviously.. The Human 'Matrix' of understanding is very necessary for modern Humans to function in a Modern world. But Words are in fact just a part of an 'Identification software reality'?.. That has been 'developed' to make sense of the Modern Psychological/Physical Reality Humans exist in. Human Understanding of 'Everything' is based on Collective agreement of what words mean. If all Humans Disappeared. Everything else would still exist as it always has. But without Human words for Identification, Value and Meaning for the benefit of Humans. As things stand. Everything exists from the 'standpoint' of its own existence. For example: A Tree exists without knowing its a Tree. Its only a Tree because Humans collectively agree to identify it as a Tree. Same goes for just about everything Non human. It is the same for Humans too. Every word a Human Knows. Is the result of Human Collective agreement to the same knowing. So. To understand the Individual reality of all 'things' We need to remove the Human Identification/Meaning Label? We need the ability to temporarily remove the Human Identification and Meaning to understand something from the 'standpoint of its own Individual Existence

You can call it "Dumb Will " if you like. It doesn't matter.

Thank you

Of course "the ego" has no free will because "the ego" itself is an illusion. God?! Not sure what you are talking about

Free will is a total horseshit . If you pay attention to your experience you will notice that. I like this experiment.. Try to stop your thoughts and movements for just few seconds.. And notice how your body will carry on thinking and moving on its own. It can be a very scary experience. You have zero control over your body. I had a hard time with this realization few months ago. I thought Im losing my mind. .

@Gabith In daily life, we have infinite possibilities to take any route any time. But we aren't actually going anywhere as it is always the formless here and now no matter which direction we take, so the term 'free will' collapses on itself. Nor our true Self ever does or becomes anything permanently or even intermittently(). It's like you can go any place in a boundless ocean, but all you are surrounded with all the time is water.

When you remove the words.. It's not that everything will be the same.. It's that you see it for what it is. And of course it can't be Described with words. That's the whole point. It's beyond same vs different.

Thanks for the replies. I think I made my point clear. What you guys should do is.. Either present an argument that we do have free will or try to reconcile our lack of free will with being responsible for our lives.

@Mason Riggle I agree with you.

What do you mean? What are you talking about?

Yes basically. This story about Big Bang and Planet Earth IS JUST ONE OF INFINITE MORE STORIES in infinite more dimensions. There is INFINITE deepness. It goes on forever. In all directions and all dimensions. Every fucking detail of every fucking thing in every single fucking place or time or different dimension...... Exists. Just as a cute example... There are infinite more colors than you can see now in this current dimension..

It's amusing because you can collapse the duality of knowing - not knowing into being or direct manifestation. So literally no one knows a goddamn thing. Because existence is prior to knowing. It's just "it".

What if you know that you don't know? Do you then know or don't know?

My mind at 3 am ?

Yes. Non existence cannot exist. Notice the contradiction. If non existence existed .. It would be existence. Lol Reality can dissappear into a black void or something like that.. But it would still exist as that black void. You can't escape from existence. Whether you exist as a form or as formlessness.

"non-existence" doesn't exist. By definition. What you are confused about is nothing vs something. Form is formlessness. Formlessness is form.

@The0Self ??

Dunno man. Sometimes you just gotta take a deep breath and appreciate life as it appears. Sometimes we get too lost in spiritual nonsense. This whole thing "no me" doesn't always work.
