What kind of a word is “I”? To what does it refer?

Welcome back, I’ve missed you. 🙂

The sounds do/not The sounds not/do

Sound heard as words has no existence nor non-existence.

Words are basically sound heard as words believed to be real. we try to attach a real something to what is basically nothing, and we get upset when everybody else doesn’t go along with our make-believe story. What is God to a dog,(woof woof) or to a dolphin, (whistles and squeaks), or to a cat, (meow) It’s all just auditory illusions of light and sound, basically just a blast of sound signifying nothing. What’s that noise?

Is a squirrel awake?

I’ve noticed you’ve said a few times the “chosen one’s” That’s nonsense, it’s not an understanding specifically designed only for the “chosen one’s” to know. It’s is not a personal achievement, it’s either understood or it’s not, and when it is, it is consciousness recognising its own universal interconnected nature. For Human mind there’s a sense of separation that helps them function in the physical world. Beneath the surface of everyday thoughts lies a continuous field of existence where everything is fundamentally connected. Awakening doesn’t mean 'you' awaken. It means that there is only awakening. There is no 'you' who is awake; there is only awakeness. That’s what Ramana is pointing to in the op video.

Anyways, getting back to the original point, dogs don’t know they know. Unlike humans who do not lack metacognition. Metacognition is unique to humans serving as an interpretive story ( fiction ) we tell ourselves after the fact.

Like words inscribed upon a flowing river with watercolour paint.

No, there’s just the raw experience of eating without any thought involvement as to whether it’s a valuable experience. A dog will even eat it’s own vomit, it doesn’t understand value, the vomit is still as good as the food before it was regurgitated. You’re barking up the wrong tree again.

Dear Diary, Today was a very big day. I saw my tail again. It was right behind me. I turned around fast. It ran away. I spun in a circle. It spun too. We played a game. I almost got it. Then I got dizzy. I fell on the rug. The tail stopped moving. I won the game, I think.

Well said. 😎 The thing is, only 1 out of 5 million people ever fully grasp the concept of nonduality. So it’s perfectly normal for the remaining people who don’t grasp its meaning to fully reject it, even fight to the death to defend their defencelessness. That’s why most people choose to stay asleep, it’s more comfortable and familiar.

It’s also important to make up your own mind about what you are listening to within the voice of others as to what you personally find as valuable to you, and not just have them tell you what they think is best for you. What’s best for you is for you to decide, no one else.

There is a lot of grifting about it for sure. No human being does anything for free these days. Talking about Something that’s not for sale really is just a business venture that’s open to anyone willing to pay, nothing wrong with that if one is desperate to pay for knowledge, and where’s there’s muck there’s brass so to speak. And also what I find irritating is when someone else tells you you’re not awake yet because you have not yet reached a certain expansion of awareness that they have reached. I mean how can someone else possibly know the consciousness level of another person is beyond me.
