Did anyone noticed that we are all the time "acting"

[abrakamowse]

I mean, like actors... playing our roles. We really don't know what to do, we just reflect on what others do and we respond accordingly with all our processed experiences. But we have to look into us to know what we are going to do next and in others, how others respond, etc...

 

I just had that feeling looking interviews of actors. Everything seems mechanical.

[Nahm]

And now I’m responding. Damn it!

@abrakamowse i‘m not i‘m chaotical. 

acting for me is building s fassade instead of a skin. well some things are routines - that’s more something dogish.

Nice insight. It's fun playing the "observer role" in life. Just observe with no beliefs or attachments. Fascinating.

Thanks @Serotoninluv  I'm going down the rabbit hole, but I think I still didn't even entered in it.

:-P

 

Thanks guys for the comments!

@abrakamowse if you think so.

you’ll know a fassade when you see it. a good start to see true differences between fake and real.

life is a big stage, huh? it’s another nice model, at least there are still real people involved, i like it better than the game model but it’s less accessible.

I know what you are talking about. When we act more in the way our true self would act is not so much as a fassade.

That could be the difference to know who is really faking it (like some religious people that are always happy but they didn't transcend it, or judgmental, etc...) and who is really closer to what he really is. 

Right? I know what you are talking about.

Thanks!

We're acting even to ourselves. We're continuously thinking to make ourself believe that we're persons. 

When I have the monkey mind going, sometimes I just ask myself: "Who are you talking to?" and the act of thinking becomes funny and unnecessary. 

I feel like thinking is superfluous. The space from where the thoughts arise is the same space that listens to the thoughts. I am the space. So it would be more efficient to just skip the thoughts and let the thinker and the listener be one, as it already is. 

Does it make any sense?

If the actor's ultimate existence is investigated nothing can be found. There is no essence of "actor" in either feed or legs or hands, head or other parts of the body. The same applies for that which is allegedly acted upon. So what are the bases for "acting"?

Empirical reality can be funny, right? But it can also be felt as if causing unease or even worse.

Not all of us

I guess god has rules if you want to sleep in the nice parts of his cities.

isn’t it what makes a real good actor, that sh/he doesn’t need to act even while acting?

so is acting not only about the role we are willing to play?

while learning the role, we adapt to the role. we integrate it.

and when we are done with learning the role we look back and think or see, we have become the role (at least partially)

but what really counts for being a good actor is knowing the kernel behind the role.

to reflect that, theater is a better reflector than movies.

A lot of sense... thoughts have to keep creating that idea of a person constantly, there's no person in reality. So nice!!!

We are free!

It caused me a lot of uneasiness, when I didn't know anything about self actualization, enlightenment, etc... It was so scary to be nothing that I ended in the hospital. I had my dark night of the soul really. It was fast but necessary.

I wouldn't be talking about this if I didn't pass for that period. My (the) mind went crazy for sometime.

When you realize that life is an illusion, you really live it fully.

[abrakamowse]

This feeling is getting stronger and more clear. We are really devils.

We act to make our loved ones believe we are victims, we are sad, to manipulate others... OMG.

 

I can see that clearly, in myself of course...

@abrakamowse Great to hear. ??

At the end of Leo's last video he mentions that you can't go forward with him, from here onward unless you really do the work of Observation. He also mentions that it wasn't easy.. Observing is in competition with acting. Our ego's/false personalities get a lot of coin from acting.
