@Nomad yes Enlightenment is another illusion . It is using one thorn to remove another thorn then throwing both away not keeping anything.. Everything must go...Like @Pinocchio said you are eating the menu instead of the food. Don't confuse the map for the territory don't believe everything you hear , don't believe a single thing have a look!! Once you have your first glimpse you will know its not bullshit!

i hear you ! great explanation !! ?@saitama

God is what you are before and after you realize it . So they say ?

lol the mind wants to get rid of the mind.. that sounds absolutely nuts! its so funny how that the mind thinks it's really important to think. If you think a lot you are super dooooper intelligent says the mind...

This is my inquiry so far.... Can the seer be seen? There is an assumption that there must be a seer since there is seeing. I can clearly see that. There is seeing. Who is aware of the seeing? I am aware of seeing. "Where/who is the I am who is aware of the seeing?" Awareness is aware of seeing Who is aware of that? I am... I truly believe I am a thought "I am "... There is something observing that answer... what is this thing observing the answer? I can't point back at it or see it or look at it ... Silence.... even the answer silence is an answer.... ---------------------------------------------- anybody have any input ?

all good now ! bigg huggggg ! lollers you made me smile!

I asked it because I did need to ask it .... now I don't need anything. @Ayla

@Ayla nothing is coming up . ... then should i do something ? question mark? then more nothing....

@Ayla i sat there in silence .... in this nothingness.. i am it... that it that i am is no-thing... cry cry , laugher laugher, more tears , more crying more joy.. now there is nothing left to do. i know thoughts will be knocking and continue to knock... but this time i don't have to answer or pay attention Going out of my mind soooo happppy!

do this right now!! Observe your breath! ... ok is that a thought observing your breath? or is that you observing the breath? notice how you don't need mind to observe and realize there is this thing called breathing... or.... Notice how you breath without thinking or beat your heart without using mind.... when you say... " Mind is everything " ... that is just more mind saying that the mind is everything... have you asked yourself " What is a thought ?" do you know what a thought is?

smoked some pot and then bam.... My judgemental mind subsided and then actually got some insight by just listening to mindfulness videos....

beautiful videos!

"It sounds scary" This is just a thought ... what makes your thoughts TRUE? Thoughts are just stories aka maps about reality but not the territory. Why do you believe the thoughts you have? thoughts are like stories and these stories are fabricated by the mind. A fiction . The stories are not real. They are just thoughts ... Have you asked yourself what a thought really is? What is a thought? KEY!

If you are tired or need to sleep don't do contemplation at night. Do it while meditation or mindfulness meditation / do nothing .. Leo has a bunch of videos ! Practice mindfulness ! It is so powerful! also.. if you can't fall asleep because your mind is trying to generate an answer or find an answer be ok with not knowing... start embracing not knowing . Big Hug Best of luck Peter

You are REALITY! not in reality or a part of it .. you are it !

SHOW ME YOUR EGO AND I WILL HELP YOU DESTROY IT!

When you are doing anything..... for example ... when you are showering are you story telling (being stuck in stories in the mind?) Are you stuck in thought stories? Stuck in your mind creating false scenarios... if you find yourself stuck in your mind aka storytelling.... you are not doing it conscious... when you are conscious you are aware that you are aware. practice mindfulness it will help you start seeing what they mean when you practice it!. when must you practice mindfulness? always 100% of your day. 24/7 !

Notice that there is someone who is always trying to run away from thoughts or run away from this or that... the mind is always trying . It cannot stand being at rest so it tries to find a solution to "END" this torture... Honestly guys this Torture aka "THOUGHTS" is just your mind purging... its true you are going to want to resist and run away and end it and feel like nothing is working because the mind is going EFFFING NUTS! but this is a really good sign... let it purge / scream / and say all the dirty nasty evil things it wants to say... Your Job is just to be aware , be the background , be the watcher.... hope this helps someone ! <3 you guys!

" I understood suddenly, how thought was just an illusionary thing; and how thought is responsible, if not for all, most of the suffering we experience. And then I suddenly felt like I was looking at these thoughts from another perspective. And I wondered, who is it that's aware that I'm thinking. And suddenly, I was thrown into this expansive, amazing feeling of freedom from myself, from my problems, I saw that I was bigger than what I do. Bigger than my body. I was everything and everyone. " JIM CARREY

When I start meditation I sit still and listen to anything that will arise.. The point of this is my curiosity to see if anyone gets a feeling or hint of "going from being "in" reality to "being" reality.... Throughout the day or my life I've always felt like I was in This reality but to feel like you are it feels different or looks different.... not sure how to word it ...! anyways This whole Enlightment stuff sounds fucken crazy . It really does sound crazy. You really have to be out of your mind hahahhah It almost as crazy as Christianity but the difference is that although they point at the same things the "PASTOR / PREACHER" translates all this funk into more beliefs and ideas ... They teach you to believe without question ... mind boggling! Best Peter... dont respond if you are gonna say " YOU " dont exist... or there is no you to see because there is no you ! blah blah blah i know all this conceptually ... Any direct pointing would be greatly appreciated though ..

i am not a thought.. i think im a thought.. conceptually i understand that the I " thinks it exists and its sounds like total bs though . ... thoughts are sensation that pops up on my radar... i am that radar... whos aware of the radar . I am...whos aware of that response..i get blank moments. Starting to see bigger gaps of no thought when I inquire..

yeah i do realize that there is no thinker of thoughts... thoughts think other thoughts... I don't do any of it.. Im just here ( this here has no location ) The "I AM" that I AM witnesses everything.... every thought, feeling, sensation, ... And this Thing that i am... Is like a blank background that pics up all types of signals / data / thoughts / information/ feelings / sensations.... and this background blank thing is what i am , but it is nothing... and that is what i am... nothing... i know im it but i have no way of proving it , its just always here this knowing ... sounds like crazy talk!

I stopped meditating once for like weeks because i had some crazy MAKYOs and i thought meditation was letting the devil in or demons ... all this bullshit because of FEAR !! thats what religion did to me it freaked me out about demons entering my body and blah blah blah! bull shit bull shit! Thoughts are scary! if you really believe they are scary! Ego defense mechanism.! If you are scared its ok to be scared ... there is a reason why you fear / there are some underlying assumptions , keep inquiring and stay present!

I've literally felt insane a couple of times and definitely have had very much frustration. But now the frustration is mostly gone but there is still lots of weird shit going on in the mind , doubt and confusion have crept in so many times. I think my mind has given up asking who I am or where i am because It noticed " I am " cannot be found / has no location / doesn't exist " i experience that feeling or sensing now. Thats the problem " I Think"... Even if i think I got it sometimes I know i don't have anything. As soon as I have it , immediately I know i don't have anything because it (TRUTH)cannot be grasped . We are the truth and it is nothing... that is insane! Its literally nothing but you know that you exist. I'd like to see that person who knows you exist because i can't !!! I dont know honestly . More Inquiry for sure . I've been at inquiry for one year and realized that i didn't really understand the questions that i was asking at first , so many traps!

Play with this one i got some traction with this inquiry Who is not aware? Im aware that i am not aware. Who is the "I AM " thats aware of that answer? I am .... Who is that I am? ... its kind of like saying think of the NOW .... then you can try to think of the now ... but notice how you can never think of the NOW... You can only think in the NOW.. Because you are in the NOW... "You are a little Soul, carrying around a corpse" Epictetus
