The Train And The Naive Realist

[momo]

if the only reality is experienced by perception, then will the train hit me if i close my eyes and sit on the rails ? Please make some easy explanation to me cause I've been struggling so much to understand the "stuff behind the scenes" thing from leo's naive realism video ! I know that the mind can't grasp that and I need to experience that but please make the concept more easy to me !! you know sometimes we need concepts haha

@momo Be aware of the difference between your direct awareness, and your awareness of a thought. IT"S CRITICAL. Because, you, as in your body and mind, are not seperate from your awareness. Everything outside of you awareness- Saturn, Jupiter, other countries, etc, etc, etc - it's not existing if it's not in your awareness. So, that just brought the scale of what your dealing with way way way down right? Now realize you are the awareness of all that you are aware of. (Not your body and brain). That's a good start, imo. Now, question your own integirty. IT"S CRITICAL. Your inner voice of integrity, self honesty, that's literally what you're experiencing from the "outside world". For example, if you beat your wife, the world to you is full of wife beaters. All things get far more relative to that inner voice. If you have fear, you'll centralize fear in your perspective and dramatically limit your own creativity. Make any sense? Helpful?

@Nahm so if i'm not aware of my house at work for example , then I don't have a house ?

@momo what is within your awareness is all that is. And it is, because it is within your awareness. I'm deducing you have absolutely no idea how powerful you are, and I'm jelly as hell with respect to the revelations you get to experience! 

All else, is simply a thought of yours. I am at a loss of words to express just how dramatically this can change your life. Begin seeing this way. Know it. In a short time, you will readily see how people, by and large, do not make this distinction, and therefore worry themselves into a hurried grave.
