It’s true, nothing is known outside of human-constructed concepts. Words serve only as tools shaping and flavouring representational models of what is ultimately mysterious and unknowable. Nothing knows what is being looked at, or what is looking at what is being looked at.

Non existence is existence.

Very Good 👍 There’s a place of perfect peace. But no one wants to live there. To face yourself without distraction is to come face to face with the faceless, fearless truth of you, that will never leave you.

Real death is the entrance to Nonduality.

Something arising and falling, to me, sounds like I am aware of being and not being both. ( being) is the arising of I am (not being) is the falling away of I am It’s like there’s something that is aware of it’s finite nature of being, while simultaneously aware of its infinite not being. Infinity is just another word for not being. While being is just another word for finite.

Yes, the sense of self feels real. The claim (I am ) devoid of any conceptual overlay, feels real. One doesn’t require a name to be without doubt or error. Existence is already wide awake and unclaimed. So any reclaim of awakening is to turn what is unclaimed into an identity. By claiming (“I am awakened”) and it’s that claim which is the falsehood, not existence itself. Words cannot really touch reality as it actually, and really is, because words are overlaid mental constructs, just models, not the real.

@Breakingthewall okay man. 👍As you see it.

I’d argue differently, in that the idea of awakening, enlightenment etc.. still belongs to the conceptual dream, born of thought. It’s still a form of seeking, whereby there’s a demand to be dissolved of limited impermanence and to get to state that is beyond the conceptual dream of human man-made linguistics, while simultaneously self-perpetuating a strong binding permanent unlimited foothold within the sense of self or I to be one with the absolute. An I or sense of self that believes it can open itself to the totality to be one with the absolute, actually implies twoness, not one. To be with, implies two. The point is, dreamt characters cannot awaken. So it’s meaningless to believe awakening is an actual action. Awakening is just another myth, belonging to the conceptual dream. And there’s nothing but the dream. The dream is all there is, was, and ever will be,infinitely for eternity.

I mean perception, both yours, and our perception is both yours, and our own personal subjective truths.. which are ultimately self-generated, constructed, transitory simulated dreams… To know, or realise you’ve been dreaming requires an awareness of dreaming, which is an awareness of images constructed solely of that which is ultimately imageless. This is only how I perceive reality here, as my personal perception, which of course is just my particular dreamscape experienced here, and it’s just a share, so it doesn’t necessarily mean everyone else is experiencing the exact same perception of reality that I do.

Likened to a dream. Likened.

That which sees has never been seen, or known. The ‘you’s’ reality, exists only within the seen identified images of the imageless.

This is still reinforcing more of the conceptual dream. That which appears to be limited, was,is, never limited. That which appears to awaken, never awoke.

Daffy Duck.

Yes, even himself, Amazing looker looking only at himself. 😂
