  1. There are no actions in reality, only reactions. The self is a synthetic mental construct. There can be the awareness of your thought, emotion, and sensory inputs, but the "observer" itself (pure awareness) seems to recede infinitely whenever you try to turn your attention back onto it. It is the ultimate subject, making it impossible to objectify. Advaita Vedanta philosophy describes pure awareness as (the silent witness). It posits that awareness requires no other light to be known, and it cannot be seen by the mind because it is the very nature of the mind. Cognitive science often explains this as a result of how our brains process information. The brain cannot run a "meta-analysis" of its own baseline processing in real-time without infinite regress, meaning it can only observe the outputs (thoughts, feelings) rather than the mechanism of observing itself.
  2. You are alone, an only child, and so am I Let’s both yearn together for something that will always be unattainable. 🥹
  3. There are not two separate things ("me" and "the universe") You are the universe experiencing itself from a specific vantage point. You are unable to be attached to yourself because you are never detached from yourself.
  4. The self is a word, all words are labels and all labelled things know nothing of their existence. Existence never knows it exists. The observer is the observed. The Reality is that Consciousness is a single mirror reflecting itself. The mirror is empty fullness, full of emptiness, the mirror is the placeholder of its own empty reflection.
  5. Z E N ( zero energy nullified ) Freedom at zero point.
  6. Infinity never repeats because Infinity doesn’t have a beginning nor an end.
  7. That explains why Socrates couldn’t know himself.
  8. “Real” can only be meaningful in relation to its opposite which is meaningless. So ONE is neither real or unreal. Because there is no one because there’s no other than one. There’s nothing making one real and nothing making one unreal.
  9. How can one everything exist. How could one know it’s one? For one to know it exists this one would have to split into two, into knower and known. This would appear as a knowledge of this one splitting in two. And yet if there is only one and only one, then there would be nothing splitting in two, there would be nothing to divide the one into two. So that which is one must always be changeless. The changeless couldn’t change because there’d be nothing to change it. By changing nothing, nothing changes. That why Einstein said reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
  10. So does that mean, according to your logical reasoning the ultimate, unchanging reality (Brahman) is real? Or, is there no such concept known of an ultimate, unchanging reality (Brahman) existing ? < and that idea is what is the illusion?
  11. @Breakingthewall How can the subject at the centre of consciousness be real if it’s constantly changing?
  12. Love this. 😭 Grief is Love with nowhere to go. 😥😥😥
  13. The conditioning that accumulates since childhood is like coat after coat being put over reality, so that life becomes more and more weighty and confined. Then one day it suddenly dawns on you that you don’t have to keep wearing the heavy coat anymore. Rather, you can just simply take the darn coat off. 😜 How sweet is that!
  14. Yes, that was my initial point, self-referencing. Connection is just this self-recognition of self-referencing.
