Time as the i seeking security in its own movement. The self doesn’t notice that the idea, and itself, “the i”, are actually one and the same movement of time-(psychological becoming). and you notice that any minute, second? or do you not notice that any minute second?

This is to see through the narrow veil of experience, knowledge, memory, as the i. Which is to see through conditioned eyes. Having a holisic insight into the whole of thought sees all of thought as one unitary movement. read your own thoughts then - who is biased? who controls? who is divided?

The more we are able to identify positive-negative movement of thought-self (fragmented action in movement), the greater awareness to that contradictory movement, the more complete-unlimited actions will be expressed as a result. In seeing-understanding the whole of what is incoherent, there is complete action in which brings about coherent action. To understand that which is disorder, is action in and of itself, in which manifests as ORDER, (INTELLIGENT ACTION). This holistic insight/perception is intelligent action, which is whole, (not influenced by fragmentation). Edited September 4, 2018 by Faceless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes..”the self” fuels that fear by moving away from itself as if the self were seperate from that fear. Movement in any direction by the self implies a movement of fear. “The i” doesn’t see that because it still is acting in accordance to the idea that it is distinct from positive and negative movement.

It goes beyond gender. Any form of escaping, movement away from what-is, security-seeking is this "fear" quality he's referring to. It's any avoidance-escape-resistance in thought. All of thinking is flavoured by fear, male or female, as all thinking is fuelled by this escaping/movement away from what-is action. If you sit down to meditate and the mind immediately goes to think about food or tv, or something you did earlier that day, as an escape from the stillness/boredom/present moment, THAT escaping action of thought is fear-aversion-resistance in operation. Fear is subtle and can disguise itself as mere resistance to boredom/the emptiness of the present moment. This is how fear and desire are so similar and one and the same. Both fear and desire are a movement away from what-is. Desire seeks, and fear escapes, but seeking and escaping are one and the same movement of thought; thought self-perpetuating by invoking the past/imagined future. Thought seeks security in its own movement and will use subtle fear-desires to do so. Edited September 4, 2018 by robdl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed..nice post!! Desire-self in pursuit of satisfaction, self affirmation, self validation, and so on, all being evasion from the fact to the invented abstraction, (idea). To move away from what-is, is to seek psychological security in thought, (what should be) or (the abstraction invented in accordance to its content accumulated from the past). Both the content of accumulation, (thought), and “the self” nourishing its own movement of psychological time. Edited September 4, 2018 by Faceless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This processs of Identification feeds off its own familiarity. Stillness, emptiness, or the silence of what-is is a direct threat to the continuity of this process of identification. Identification depends “things” to identify with. As has been said before, identification is frightened by change. The self is always in movement to capture and maintain a sense of permanence. The dynamic nature of NOW is always changing, which reveals the self the fact of its own actual impermanence. Identification implies attachment and clinging to its own content which is inevitably static in nature. To cling to the static content of thought is to sustain the illusion of security-permanence, which in fact only perpetuates insecurity-impermanence. Without “things” or (thought), which is static, and (familiar), the self feels threatened. The self seeks security by projecting its own pre-conceptions (what is known), or (bias-prejudice), to meet the fact of insecurity that the dynamic nature of the present moment or THE NOW presents.

Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) the urge for life is not fear, it is the urge for love. „Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free Where the world has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic walls Where words come out from the depth of truth Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit Where the mind is led forward by thee Into ever-widening thought and action Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.“ Rabindranath Tagore (written for india) Edited September 5, 2018 by now is forever no one asked me to bring a cross to the witchhounters, i brought a flower instead.

Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) See that what one calls himself/herself as... "I" "me" "myself" ("I"-"me"-"self') is a concept,a thought. Of which is given it's reality by ones conditioned belief of themselves being an individual,personal I-self. The individual,personal "I-self",is only a collection of ideas,beliefs,memories,experiences and thoughts(i.e., the accumulation of memory/time) , that make up ones conditioning,which one then self concludes and reinforces again and again over time, to be "me" or "I" /"my personal self". This mis-identification with the "I" concept/idea/thought,and it's interconnection and intermingling with all the other conditioning of the mind/thoughts (i.e.,the accumulation of ideas,beliefs/experience/time/memory) , gives the illusion that "I am the mind/thoughts" and/or 'I am the I-thought/concept/mind / conditioning" (i.e.,the accumulation of experience/time/memory) . Since the personal "I"/self ,is a conceived thought/idea,and not a real entity, then any psychological movement of thought/fear/desire,to seek security from what is,is the very same movement of that conceived of I-thought concept, seeking security in itself,which is thought. Thus you have only a thought/idea,believed to be a real entity (the "I"/"me"),which is the accumulation of conditioned experience/time/memory ,seeking security in itself (a thought). Realize that what is "you, is not the accumulated thoughts,ideas,concepts/beliefs,likes/dislikes,experiences (i.e.,memory/time) of the mind and/or body. To be free, is to be free of the accumulation of the "I"thought/mind/memory/time/experience(all one). Then the unitary psychological movement of "i-me -self-/"thought/"fear" as one whole movement, will cease. Wholeness and/or Fullness in Emptiness.
