I talk about being, awareness and consciousness, you talk about thought self ego fear.... what is the focus of your attention? Not subtle it's so obvious. Hah Speaking about Be-ing is fine if that’s what you want to do...but is it subtle?...i think not... It’s fairly easy to accumulate a couple of non-dual lines and throw them here on the forum. It’s obvious when ‘we’ do this? Edited September 19, 2018 by Faceless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) That can be as simple as conforming to some idea, concept, non-dual theory, and then regurgitating it in a thread. Thought loves to do this..it loves it ❤️ Edited September 19, 2018 by Faceless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 19, 2018 30 minutes ago, robdl said: Thought clings-attaches-identifies. Some call this a sticky action, indeed. I have as well. Thought reacts to/within itself mechanically, as an identification-attachment process, as it seeks security in its own movement. This is all true and seen wholly. So you’re characterizing it as separate, conflicting perspectives but they’re unitary. It’s one and the same. @SOUL do you see that the stickyness-identification-clinginess of thought and the self-reacting/identifying movement of thought are one and the same thing? Thinking is a process-movement of reactive attachment-clinging. So thought is sticky but it’s also a self-reactive movement. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

Posted September 19, 2018 to the point about different people having different subjective concepts/ideas about the nature of thought-self/ego — that is worth going into more. 1. Thought is attachment-clinging. Let go of attachment to not suffer. 2. Thought-self is a self-feeding loop. 3. Thought is fragmented, as one thought-fragment takes the form of an “I”-fragment to judge/control/take possession of other thought fragments. Fragmentation is the false division between the thinker and thoughts when in fact thought-self is a unitary process. 4. Thought seeks security in its own movement. 5. The ego is only interested in its own survival. 6. Thought is a movement away from what-is/the dynamic now. 7. There is no self: it’s an illusion. 8. The observer is the observed. Are we understanding that these are all compatible and just different verbal expressions of the one thing, not conflicting beliefs/viewpoints? That the one thing could be called a movement, loop, attachment, illusion, survival mechanism, fragmentation - without any contradiction? That the groking of all these expressions flows from the holistic insight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
