Everything that exists is constant change, relationships between different states creating stable patterns that appear and disappear. Buddhists say this demonstrates that reality is empty at its core, since nothing exists in itself; everything is change. For Buddhists, the foundation of reality is sunyata, emptiness, and nirvana is extinguishing yourself. Extinguishing your candle, as they say. I believe they are completely wrong because they haven't grasped the essential quality of what they call emptiness. Emptiness is absolutely full, full of potential. The quality of the unlimited (better that word than emptiness) is that it emanates absolute potentiality. It is the absence of obstacles for the possible to be. The unlimited is absolute life, and the quality of reality is expansion, vitality, creation. What appears is simply possible coherence, but its momentum is total, since nothing holds it back. Nirvana is not extinguishing your candle; it is lighting it and letting it shine in all its potential.

Then when you achieve a kind of living death, do you act hysterically, needing to be the one who's enlightened but unable to hold a coherent conversation? It sounds like an incomplete death. Now seriously, read what I've written and refute a specific point without screaming like a hysterical medieval inquisitor at a heretic, and let's see if you've understood what I've said or if you're just playing your usual power games.

The logical mind can understand logic (if it is well-tuned). Logic is coherent relationships, and the reality that appears is made up of logical relationships. We could also call it mathematics. All of reality that appears can be broken down into formulas and equations, including feelings and consciousness, since they are relationships. Therefore, the mind can basically understand everything. The mind can even understand the source of reality, the absence of limits that lives, and can also formulate it mathematically in a simple formula: zero = infinity. The fact that reality is comprehensible does not negate that it is alive, absolute, divine, or whatever you want to call it. The point is that understanding is just a tool of the mind, not the mind. The mind is over all consciousness, being aware of yourself, that's , of the reality. Then the point is don't get stuck in the logical mind and this is achieved when the logical mind works clear without hindrance and see the relationship everywhere, then it can relax and stop because everything is clear

Then you know that you don't know, and this happen because you are deeply attached to the conceptual learned world but in a negative mode. If you really transcend the learned mental structure, you would know directly. What you are doing is protecting yourself of the conceptual mind constructing a negative conceptual mind and getting stuck in it

Opposite, if you experience the itch without thoughts about it, you will know exactly what it is. You will perceive the reality happening, it's movement and it's vitality. But it's not only stopping your conceptual thinking about it, you need to open yourself to the flow of reality, and that means being open to yourself because you are the reality happening.

Then if nothing appears as something, maybe it's something. Just an idea. Maybe it's creative power developing itself without end. And that creative power is the inevitable consequence of the limitless. That's why reality lives. Just contemplate the fact of existing. I don't mean thinking about it, just seeing it, same than you see the fact of the self is not real, you could see the fact of existing right? Just see it without filter, it's happening now. Remove the barrier of: I'm not real (that is a conceptual idea) and see.

I'm feel very good, anyway I could feel very bad, that's human life. This doesn't mean that I'm trapped in the ego. Trapped in ego suffering is more constantly but if you are more or less free of the mental frame that compares and defines everything you also could suffer. Suffering is a reality being human Anyway, your idea of enlightenment means scaping of human nature denying it. It could work in some extent but it has a cost. Your mind will get limited.

Ah ok, I understand, you are in another level, then it's normal the sarcasm. Honestly I found your message very insulting. Just like this one. A defensive reaction from someone who needs a position of superiority, and whose psyche has managed to construct the mental image of being enlightened. So, when something confronts them, they react in different ways to protect their absolute need. One of them is to ridicule, another is not to listen or engage in real conversation but to repeat a mantra they've created for this purpose. The self is an illusion or whatever. There's another person here broadcasting from the same mental frequency, james123. I'd say there are many in the world of spirituality. Let's see, being superior by being a millionaire, successful and all that is difficult, but making the mental shift of enlightenment is the perfect business. Zero investment, total profit. You're better than Newton, Julius Caesar, and Churchill without even getting up from the sofa. Who'll top that? The only problem is for the people around you. The narcissist can't see it because it's 100% focused in the protection of his history, for him it's a a matter of survival, but for the people around it's unbearable.

Anyway, I'm going to explain some crazy, hippie-ish New Age stuff to you. Look, there's a universe with something like two trillions galaxies that arises from a dimensionless singularity, which is a rupture of the vacuum's symmetry, and it unfolds in a spacetime structure that's essentially a hypercomplex equation with zero deviation and a real energy balance of zero. And in this unfolding of perfectly synchronized mathematical relationships, everything converges in a process of unimaginable complexity that channels all that perpetual synchronic change to repeat over and over: the self doesn't exist. It's an illusion. I'm enlightened. You're not. It's fascinating, don't you think? The point is not understanding this sophisticated truth about the non existent illusory self, or my big bang, it's being open to the source of everything, to the unlimited. It's irrelevant if the self is this or that, what is real is what remains when all the barriers fall. This could sounds very new age to you, but you are not a no self, you are an expression of the absolute, then you are the absolute expressed in a process that is happening right now. This process can perceive itself without filter. But it's not easy at all, in fact it's very difficult game, but if you manage at least some level of openness the change is total Then you will perceive the reality of everything, of the people that you see, it's the opposite of a dream, it's alive, absolutely real. Then silent your mind is easy because the reality of everything is content enough.

Sure you are right, even in that moment you are totally closed to the unlimited it's not the same than if you are absolutely closed in the bubble and you never have broken it. The problem for me is denying the reality of a level of the reality. What I perceive is that it's a barrier, a real one that traps you. If you call dream to the dense level you can't integrate it and use it's power to move yourself to another level. You will stuck, it's very subtle, very Buddhist. The dense level is absolutely real. Maybe feels bad or anything, but you can't scape from it thinking that doesn't exist , doing it would castrate your mind, like a narcissist

Or maybe important or not important are valorations, like saying; reality is boring. Well, it depends of your emotional state I guess. Or saying: the self is not real. It's like saying: being bored is not real, it's an illusion. Really all that stuff comes from Buddhism. It's an attempt to avoid suffering and domesticate the emotional density, but denying what is calling it false, you castrate your mind, then you could become very limited, and the idea is breaking the limits

But the spirit is the mind, there is no other. Not superior self. Let's use "tao". The mind is the tao expressed as a mind. So if you see a higher spirit guiding the mind, you're creating a barrier that closes it off. The Tao isn't someone or something that directs; it's the unlimited being that manifests itself in what is possible. And the manifestation is the mind. That is to say, it's the mind that orients itself toward, for example, clarifying its density to see, not a higher force. Nothing is superior; everything is interconnected realities that ontologically have the same level. As I see it, it's crucial not to categorize anything as false, real, true, or illusion because those are absolute closures. Openness occurs when the mind integrates itself and sees itself seamlessly, as the totality of reality. There is no other reality, no other levels; there is only density that clouds perception.

Id say that I can't interact with my mind because I am the mind. What I am is the process that's happening and it's a mind. What I can do as a mind is point to the direction that is better according my vision, that is what any living being and life itself does, and the mind is a living being. You could say that the essence of that process is the unlimited, the tao, anything, but the process is happening and I'm that. You could say that I'm the tao in the form of a mind, but not that I'm the master of the mind, because there is not an I separated from the mind , the I is a part of the structure of the mind

So animals are pure and do what reality wants, but the mind, on the other hand, doesn't; it's against reality. Is reality sad because the mind thinks? Maybe the problem is that you can't see how the human matrix is the reality expressing itself as a mind

I understand you. You mock what I said because you need to be enlightened, then any deeper sight threaten you, and your defense is ridicule to feel safe. You could keep saying all people around you that of the self doesn't exist and that you are enlightened, and only very few are like you, I'm sure that they will get very impressed. Maybe some of them bit bored.

Ok thanks

The observer is the structure that a human is. Is the fact of perceiving. Perceiving is the reality reflected in itself. The observer and the observed are the same, but exist in an structure that allows the fact of perceiving. I don't know what did you read, but denying what's obvious only will mess your mind

I don't see things that way. I'm not constantly defining myself as a self; I don't care if there is a self or not, nor do I want to be enlightened to get a medal and a diploma. I simply perceive that I exist. It's quite strange if you stop to think about it. Let's see, I exist, and right here, now, the fact of existing is happening. You completely empty your mind of ideas and focus entirely on this reality. Then you perceive an energy that is keeping you isolated. If you focus on that energy, your heart starts beating fast. It's primal fear. Not a silly fear you've learned, but the atavistic terror of destruction. Then you stare at this terror; it's fascinating. You begin to see how you are closed in a kind of bubble. Even with your mind at zero, the bubble is there. Then you want to break it. These aren't mental stories; it's absolutely real, it's your current structure, what reality is now. At a certain point, the door opens, and your nature is revealed. Then your eyes open; it's wild, it's fire, life, creation, the absolute power that springs from the boundless abyss that is reality. It's the fire that makes you exist, interconnected with a web of inconceivable proportions, that makes you who you are. In fact, it is exactly what you are. But over all it's open, it's unlimited. Then you could think: how's this possible? But it's obvious that it's inevitable. There are no limits, then you are, and you are that, the unlimited that emits potential in all directions, the absolute being. This is not a mental history, it's the reality. But then your psyche, created by the human tide of which you are a part, shuts you down again and again. It's a process that starts and moves forward, like anything else that exists

By the way, a reflection on openness to the totality. It's not something you know. If yesterday your openness to the limitless that lives was the case, but today, for whatever reason, the structure of your psyche closes, then you don't know what the limitless was. It's impossible because it's not something concrete, it's not someone, an entity; it's the bottomless, boundless from which reality inevitably springs. If you are open to it, it is total light. If you are closed, you start to think...let's see, so I am the inevitable bottomless flow? That seems impersonal, wild, meaningless, an eternal prison, an infinite machine of equations that creates things because it can't help but. Everything turns gray, sad. The mind finds no foothold, nothing makes sense, not even death is an escape. Relationships with people, work, life...what is the point of this madness? It's what they call the dark night of the soul. So you have to be astute and understand how you close and reopen.

This wasn't intended as a method, but rather an explanation to understand what enlightenment is, its nature, where the closure lies, and how to approach the movement that tends toward enlightenment. It may seem like I'm teaching people, but that's not the case. What I write are reflections, and I share them because doing so helps me... let's say, refine the mental scalpel necessary to understand this game. What I say is based on real experience; I'm not making anything up. But having the experience is one thing, understanding its structure is another. I can't help but focus on this for a considerable amount of time each day, then it's great that there is some people to share, even for argues 😅

What we are is a structure that the synchronicity of reality creates, existing in an interconnected relationship with the rest of reality, like everything else that exists. Given our dual nature, as self-preserving processes that interact with an external world, oriented towards permanence, a process called mind appears, which is a link between the inner and outer universes. This universe, which we call consciousness, can open itself to the totality of nature that is its source and essence. This is the eye of the reality.

The observer doesn't vanishes, the observer opens itself to it's unlimited nature. The observer will vanish when it dies, but there are many observers. Infinite more or less. Then if you die nothing important is lost. But the point is not this, is being open to the source. Understanding is a mean to allow that openess. Human nature is such that closes, then real understanding is needed. If not life is shit because you are closed. It's the same if you have everything, you are in the desert

So you are the observer right? The observer is just a structural point that happens in the experience. Enlightenment happens when the observer open itself to what reality is, becoming an eye that see the absolute and realizing that the eye is the absolute in seeing itself. If you want to open yourself to the absolute you have to start from humility. You always have addressed this work from the need of increase your ego, and this doesn't work

I think that the answer is easy. The "I" of the experience is always the same: the experiencer. That is to say, you and I are exactly the same, without the slightest difference: an experiencer having an experience. Can you feel it? It's the "I am." Take away the content, and the difference between you and me is exactly zero. We are "I am," period. So if you die, don't worry, I'll try dating models or something for you. But the point here isn't to be that boring, empty "I am" that's absolutely always there experiencing different funny experiences like the absolute nihilism and the black depression of the lonely oldhood, but rather for that "I am" to open itself up to "what I am." Then the I, that is a structural construction made by the fact of the experience will be the eye of the reality looking itself. Then the I and the reality will recognize as the same absolute unlimited that is everything, the total fullness, the life, the cosmos, the unfathomable that lives. and they will say: Hallelujah, the prodigal son wandered for a long time in a shitty desert of sadness, lack, misery and madness, but he has returned home, and now his cup is filled to overflowing.

Experience is a expression of the reality, the reality doesn't need experience but as it is a possibility, experience happens. You are the experience, but as the experience is an expression of the reality, you are an expression of the reality, then what you are is the reality expressing itself as an experience. Do you get the logic? It's very simple and surely you did. What is not so simple is breaking the shell of the experience and open yourself to your nature as absolute reality, but if you are interested I can explain you for free how to do it. I guess you would appreciate the gesture that comes from anyone that had to listen all your angry thing 5 years😅
