The Buddha was right.  Attachment to the dream is the cause of suffering.  Awakening is the first step to detachment from Ego.  Liberation is realizing there is no little you in there!  But all of this awakening business is part of the dream too.  So, don’t take any of this too seriously.  Just be the watcher.  Be that pillar that is always there at the center of all these changes.  Start to see the fluxing part of reality as a dream.  Detach from it as reality.  Reality is the Soul or unchanging Awareness that is witnessing all of these changes.  Awareness does not control, do, or conceptually-know — all that sh*t is part of the dream.    The Ego thinks it does those things haha.  That’s a very common trap.  The best thing Awareness can do is detach from taking the dream so seriously.  There is no you driving the dream.  You’re just always aware of it.

Buddha seems to have been well aware of psychological time. Seems as though eventually he saw all the futility in various traps being the practice of methods, techniques, and systems to bring about liberation from the self. As though he saw that ‘volition/desire to become’ was in movement with any of those activities and that where there was a continuity being given to the self/time was as a result, and that when Time/thought was moving in a particular direction this would never lead to that which is timelessness. 

Maybe there was an action of perception ‘understanding of the falsness/or truth of that which was false’,, that through the operation of psychological time one could never escape the blockade of being time bound. 

Although we can ever really know for sure what actually took place??‍♂️?

We can never really know for sure as we can not sit down with him and discuss. 

Any attempt is speculation based off assumptions. 

But still interesting to try and piece together right

If one has no control then how does one awaken, liberate, detach, observe and/or be aware at all?
