There Are No Things

3 posts in this topic

Final Realisation 

There are no things, only being. This is true on all levels, all scales and all complexities (or simplicities). This is the total collapse of the Subject and Object dichotomy created by language.

The finality of it comes from the awareness of how all identities, all patterns and all statements ultimately collapse into one activity — the mind. 

There are levels to this mind. Ego-mind is one of them. There is also karma and psyche and more which are all equally mind. All of this is still one activity which is mind. This activity is for the purpose of consciousness, or the self-recognition of consciousness, rather.

Consciousness is the only meaning/purpose of mind, or life as most of us will refer it. There are no things. There is nothing but mind.

Yes but that being is infinite. When you talk with someone, this conversation is infinite, and has infinite ramifications, like everything else. Are infinite in it's depth. It's impossible to understand or grasp because our perception is limited. The being ramificates itself in infinite dimensions. Here and now the infinity is, and it's movement is infinite, because has not bottom. It could be a scary realization, because there is no grasp, understanding, known territory, it's only infinite being.  

It is like pouring yourself into death, knowing nothing, having no mind, just being. expand yourself completely, and perceive that this moment is a bottomless hole, therefore indefinable. but then you realize that this being permeates everything, the infinite absolute hole, completely. that's the reality. eureka!

I'm not sure I follow. The word infinite has acquired much semantic saturation. I've come to find it a tad complicated to recognise exactly how the word is being used in the statements it is used in, such as the one quoted above.

If by perception  you refer to the way in which one can makes sense of reality, then, yes. Our perception is limited.

Okay, I can assume here that by infinite  you mean that which is 'endless', an unfathomable depth, in other words. 

Okay. Understanding, or grasp, is in deed very limited because it serves the illision, the experience, rather, as opposed to serving the reality itself — the mind itself that is. Understanding is still perception, it still refers to the way in which we make sense of the world.

How we make sense of the world is literally a matter of making something out of nothing (or that which is not a thing). Hence we have things. It is through imagination that we have things. Imagination is the fabrication of some thing out of that which is not a thing, out of that which is being itself.

So, no. One cannot understand that which is not a thing. We can only understand the things we imagine. This is for the sake of experience — not awakening. It's for the sake of the illusion  as we call it. Only meditation can bring about awakening.

Being-ness requires awareness, not understanding. The infinite is already here, it is not a hidden truth but an absolute one. One needs only to be aware of it.
