Truth. Well said 👍

Lovely. So much beauty and genuine pure heart. ♥️ Always a pleasure to read.

No one is denying their humanity, nor giving themselves pole positions in the art of human expression into the actual nature of being a talking head human, Nemra. Expressing this discourse is just the other side of the proverbial coin so to speak. 😐

Aren’t we all though. Aren’t we all just trying to understand the God of our own understanding. 😐 Let it be.

Nicely put. 💯

It’s more to do with surrendering the “doer” by understanding the idea that there’s no “someone” like a little person inside the body who is in full control of its body. There isn’t, even though it kinda feels like there is. This is about surrendering to the illusory belief that there’s a separate little “ someone” called (me)who is the doer, doing everything, when in reality, there’s just everything doing everything. Totally, one without a second. Doing is done, no doer thereof, where actions and events occur through natural, total functioning, but there is no separate, independent ego or “individual agent” behind them. That’s all James is pointing to.

Yes thanks for that, I agree with you, and yes, I’ve already done the surrendering so I know what you mean, in fact I understand everything you ever talk about on this forum. 🙂

It’s also funny how being never gets to choose being or nonbeing.

Thanks Nemra, I’ve heard about how psychedelic usage is a beneficial experience for those seeking to transcend the illusory sense of separation. But I’m not into it, never have been, never will be. I could be missing out on something amazing but I’d rather stay grounded, I have a fear of heights, lol, just kidding. 😊 Thanks for engaging in this kind of discourse.

I exist but I don’t know how I exist or why or what I am. Imagination fills in the not knowing. Imagination is like watercolour paint upon a flowing river.

In my experience it’s just not possible to touch that still state of thought free awareness without causing a ripple to form on contact. It’s like trying to jump ahead and beyond your own shadow. Anyway, that’s just the way I personally feel about it, because one still has to deal with external distraction which predominantly dominates one’s existence. Yes, the still screen of awareness is ultimately what we are, but we’re also the movie inseparable from the screen. I personally experience the movie more than the screen. That’s just the way it makes sense to me.

Who knows? Question the answer. And does an answer even need to be questioned, else all there is are questions with no answers.
