No-self Contemplation

1 post in this topic

Contemplation time!

  • There is no SELF!
  • There is no YOU!
  • There is no I!
  • Self is an illusion
  • Self is a dream, wake up
  • Transformation is possible because there is no fixed self
  • Self is created but it is not true and therefore self creates suffering, just like believing you are the president of the USA is not true. It's a false belief and results in problems and suffering.
  • Self is a habit
  • Think back to a conversation you had yesterday. There was no separate identity, just life talking to life. Life playing a game with itself.
  • What are the illusions you live based on the belief that there is a self? There is no self!
  • There is no YOU!
  • YOU = 0
  • YOU + sensations = sensations
  • YOU + emotions = emotions
  • YOU + thoughts = thoughts
  • Banana-milkshake, potato
  • Relax, you don't exist
  • As yourself a question. E.g. "Who am I?". Who is answering? No one. Thoughts arise. Where do they arise from? Who do they talk to? Where do they disappear into?
  • Knock knock - Who is there? - No one
  • Say your name to yourself in your thoughts. Realise that this process of reading, remembering a name, thinking is just a conditioning! No-self involved here.
  • ThEr iS nO YoU!
  • YOU, Stop! Say your name to yourself in your thoughts. Bring up some childhood memories. Bring up what you did yesterday. Think about what you hate. Think about who you love. Say your name over and over and over. Do it! DO IT! ..... THERE IS NO YOU! It's a misconception. False programming. Fiction. 
  • No-Self is hard business. Ego feeds not only to the bad stuff like fear but also on the good, like your dreams or the idea that there is special someone out there who will make you happy for the rest of your life. It's okay to grief those ideas. But hey, cheer up, it's nothing but the TRUTH.
  • Think about some kittens. They are cute, right?
  • Okay back to business.
  • Thinking there is no self over and over is kind of stupid. 'Cause there is no self! No one is there.
  • "Ding Dong", oh, no one is home
  • Don't think about a pink zebra. You did right? It's a reflex. There is no you
  • Remember when you tried to form a habit or brake one and you couldn't. No-self comes with no free will. Who is there to have one? Look, each part of your body has it's role, interacts, influences and is influenced by other parts of your body. But not part has totalitarian dictatorship over the others. It's an interplay. there is no self at the top of the hierarchy. EVERY TIME you think don't accept what is, because you think there is a YOU who has a say in whatever, you are fooling yourself. STOP FOOLING YOURSELF!
  • There is no SELF!
  • There is no YOU!
  • There is no I!
  • Self is an illusion
  • Self is a dream, wake up
  • ZZZzzZZzzzzzZzzzz

How else could it be put in words?
