There is a sense in which when you objectify things in videos and writing that it helps solidify it for you. The same principle applies when you talk to a friend or family member about a problem to find out how you feel about it. Just putting things into words made something stick for you that you didn't possess before. My Journals function the same way for me as I'm sure Leo's videos do for him. It's like a catalyst for growth.

I think you're confusing yourself by needing something to be aware. You're just adding layers of conception over being with your metaphysical beliefs.

Creepy.

What is does not announce that it is. Only mouths announce that something is. Blah blah blah, or maybe some kind of physical gesture like pointing and nodding, but that has to be understood in some kind of communication protocol.

What is that which notes what is and what happens?

What is that which is "conscious" of something?

So God designs Himself into other beings? Where did you pick this belief up? And I know you believe you're God as well.

I would say that all suffering is triggered by the Ego-Mind, which is the Ego and the Mind. The Mind mostly but not entirely serves the Ego, so it's useful to lump them together, but it's also useful to think of them as being separate things too depending on the context.

It's not "not knowing" that's the goal, it's transcendence of the Mind. You will know, but you will see the Mind for what it is and what it serves. Of course transcending the Mind will cause a lot of your beliefs to drop away, but you're not clinging to not knowing, that's just another kind of mental clinging.

You should explain what you meant. That's not an unreasonable request. Then we can have a discussion about it here.

What is that which noticed the screen?

What would be it? Do what? What is Enlightenment?

I love Aeris haha.

Just what you told me.

You've caught yourself in your own snare though. Enlightenment is not about belief or about no belief.

Yeah I know, you told me already.

What do you believe in? Seems like you just traded in one paradigm for another one.

Trying to be aware can easily impede Do Nothing Meditation. Do Nothing is a much less neurotic kind of noticing.

Yes, but not neurotically. It's more like a noticing rather than a staring-down.

Nothing. I think I tried it once and realized it doesn't resonate with me. I meditate by laying down in my bed.

This is the best question I've seen in a long time on here. I've been meaning to address this issue in my own writings for a little while now but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Now. Does what 'being' points to say that it's God? Where are you getting that concept from what 'being points to? What is creating this concept of 'God' -- this meaning, this thought, this talk? Does what 'being' points to need a concept, thought, meaning to hang in an unchanging frame? Or is this like a piece of property that you have in your possession but don't have any use for?

'Being' is not about agreeing or disagreeing. It's the Mind which agrees and disagrees. Being is about locating that which the word 'being' is pointing to.

Being just is. That's why I call it 'being'. Being means that which is. More specifically, being is a pointer to that which is like a finger pointing to the moon. Being has no cognitive content, not would it be appropriate for being to have any cognitive content. Only thoughts have cognitive content, and what 'being' points to is not the conceptual content of any thought.

Is being clinging to talk or to concepts or to thought or to meaning? What is that which talks?
