You can only speak for yourself on the issue of dissociation. Do you personally feel disconnected from yourself and all being a self entails? Or are you projecting?

What in your own mind do you personally mean by that statement?

Knowing there’s no you is identical with not knowing. The mind can be a tyrant demanding to know. But all the mind can do is draw knowing from memory which has already passed away. Whereas the immediate present moment, that is neither past or future is forever unwritten. People tend to be bored with the unwritten so they draw from the memory which is knowledge on demand, and all they are doing in that activity is re creating what’s already passed away. Which is also very boring, so then that’s when the future is projected, a future that hasn’t even happened. Such is the nature of knowledge. It’s illusory.

Maybe for some, but not for me, coming from my own direct experience. For me.. It’s the silent presence of others that resonates with me the most, and how they carry themselves without saying a word. What comes out of their mouths is just noise, even hearing the words “I love you” hurts my ears.

There’s a you, but this you is an actor. Yes, the actor can pull off it’s role as a good actor in this movie called I If the actor doesn’t take itself seriously then the audience might lose interest and walk out of the movie theatre.

Because the I is known. The You is the same I known. There’s no requirement to know, to be. Being is unclaimed. If you say you know, that’s just unclaimed being claiming being.

It’s also interesting how the mind is the ever changing mirror. It’s like one minute you’re there, the next minute, poof!

It’s different that’s all. Same difference.

The knower never claims it’s knowing. That doesn’t negate knowing, knowing is one with the knowing. It’s not an I or a “someone “ who knows. There’s only not-knowing knowledge. The I or a “someone” is already this immediate unclaimed known. The knower being equal to the known. This knowing cannot be found / claimed, no more than a beloved pet can be found in a meat market.

You are posting to a shadow. The shadow you are casting and catching in your net.

The knower is equal to the known. There’s no difference between a high vibrational Buddha and a low vibrational Buddha.
