One can never know another one. Only One. Only the Lonely. One without a second. It’s lonely at the top. Better among the bottom feeders, the big ass club that absolutely resists having itself as a member.

Outside/ Inside… where is that? The boundaries are nonexistent. There is no gap of non existence.

The river flowing to the ocean source is a constant seamless flux of source to source. There’s no break in symmetry. There’s no ‘I’ getting caught in the eddies or making grinding noises in an effort to resist the flow by means of stopping to find or look for it. Life is already and always is as fluid, never solid, effortlessly carving its way through any obstruction and doesn’t need an ‘I’ to function. There’s no observer named ‘I’ watching itself. There’s simply empty looking upon empty concepts as this artificial conception. There’s no one writing these words. One is writing these words, there’s no other one. No one reading these words, One is reading these words, there is no other one.

The pointer… aka brain mind mechanism can point to everywhere but itself because there is no self at its core base source. The self is an emergent built for predicting (Not Self-Reflection) The primary function of the brain is to predict future events and manage the body (allostasis), using past experiences to create an internal model of the world. It is not designed to understand its own biological mechanisms. A model of the world is not the world it is a representation born of perception, it’s a synthetic simulation, not real. The world isn’t out there, the world is contingent upon consciousness. No consciousness, no world. While consciousness is obviously known to be, consciousness can never know what consciousness is because there’s nothing outside or beyond it to measure or study it. Consciousness can never step outside of its own arena to get a peek up its own skirt. Consciousness remains forever a mystery even to itself…. Every thing else is just the linguistic contents of consciousness. Consciousness doesn’t have any requirement or need to know itself, that would be like the content of consciousness trying to look for consciousness, it’s absurd.

Looking doesn’t know what it’s pointing to or looking at, or looking from, or what’s looking. Looking is an abstract idea pointing to abstract intangible ideals. No thing knows itself. Infinity, or absolute are known abstract ideas that know nothing. An idea is known, but never tangibly seen. “Omniscience” is a relative idea of something it claims is infinite and absolute. Relative ideas are never an omniscient knowing because of the cessation of knowledge problem upon the ultimate, eventual, unavoidable demise of the finite mind and body mechanism. There’s no one here to know anything because infinity is inconceivable… except in this conception, the arising of a known knower that knows nothing. Infinity can never tell itself it’s infinite because it doesn’t have a self, it’s a synthetic construct.

It doesn’t really matter what the term is claimed to mean. The point is perception is required to attribute that meaning. “Is” has no meaning by itself. “Is” is abstract and provides no actual explanation. Existence doesn’t need perception to be, but the term “is” requires perception and consciousness to have meaning.

The path is forged for you to understand yourself not to be understood. Existence doesn’t need us to function. Ocean waves surge whether humans record them or not.

Knowing as being and knowing as linguistic knowledge is an attribute. Not a thing in itself.

Knowing you are conscious is a curse. The curse of knowing suffering, pain, torture , abuse, evil and horror. It’s the price paid for knowledge. For biting the apple.

To speak of these things is to speak to a state of boundless unity (0=♾️)

1. Lao Tzu: The Generative Void For Lao Tzu, "nothing" (Wu) and "everything" (the Ten Thousand Things) are conjoined through mutual birth. He argues that they are not just related, but that "nothingness" is the very thing that makes "everything" useful and possible. The Utility of the Empty: Lao Tzu famously pointed out that while we make a wheel with thirty spokes, it is the hole in the middle that makes it useful. Similarly, we shape clay into a vessel, but it is the emptiness inside that holds the water. A "Pregnant" Nothingness: In Taoism, the "Void" is not a sterile absence but a "primordial generative nothingness". It is the womb of existence, where "Being and non-being give birth to each other". 2. Parmenides: The Impossibility of "Nothing" Parmenides took a more radical, logical stance. He argued that nothing and everything are so inseparable that "nothing" cannot even exist—there is only the "One". Thought requires an Object: He believed that you cannot think of "nothing" because to think of it is to make it "something" in your mind. Therefore, "what-is-not" is literally unthinkable and unspeakable. The Seamless Whole: Because "nothing" (the void) cannot exist, there is no space to separate "everything." Therefore, reality must be a single, continuous, eternal, and unchanging block of Being. For Parmenides, the appearance of separate things is just a "deceitful show" of the senses.

That which is known to live never dies, because the known knows nothing. That which is known to die never lives, because the known knows nothing. It’s elementary.

Consciousness knows without knowing. That goes without saying. Who told you you have a self? Imposter alert ‼️

Consciousness knows itself as consciousness only, which is undefined in a linguistic sense. To know you are conscious is to split into knower and known which demands the conception of a ‘me’ and ‘ other’ the apparent duality is an illusory representation of reality. Linguistic language is not just a tool for expressing your thoughts; it is the very "glue" used to assemble a socially acceptable version of you. While the True Self is often felt as pre-verbal or bodily, the False Self is often built out of the words, labels, and expectations of others.
