Internal = external

[Pouya]

1. There is no external world and it's all internal world in my mind.

2. There is no internal world and my mind and it's all external world.

 

1=> Only I exist.

2=> Only I don't exist.

 

And both seem true???

Logic can lead to contradictions. 

You have to prove this statements in your own experience. Ask questions like "What is the external/internal?", "How does it come into being?", "What is the mind?", etc.

The same applies for the answers. "What is existence?", "What am 'I'?", "Can 'I' exist?", etc. 

These are tricky cos they question your metaphysical beliefs. Until you start doing that you can be forever lost in logical reasoning.

@EnlightenmentBlogActually I can experience both of these while being mindful or on meditation.

It's like the no mind or the all mind

How? Can you describe that in more detail?

@Pouya I can relate.

1. The 'I don't exist' phase is about dis-identification with whatever I perceive. "I" exists as a thought, but I am not that thought.
2. The 'I am everything' comes from a place of peace and safety of this dis-identification. It is as if the whole world was 'me' and there was nothing to worry about. Everything is familiar, like 'my' hand.

In my experience, this is more of an intuitive/emotional thing, so it's not really something that I expect coherency from.
It doesn't matter that it forms a contradiction.

No internal or external world, no "you". Only God is.

Can you stimulate my internal  ? ?

[Juan Cruz Giusto]

Internal and external is a distinction and there are none in the Absolute.

In the relative world, having a sense of internal vs external is healthy and a necessary condition for a mind to develop. When children are born they cannot distinguish between themselves and their mothers, it's not the case with us and it's not the case with enlightened people.

@EnlightenmentBlog When I become focused and slow down the thought chain I see that I am a "me" thought and without that thought, almost all of the thoughts stop.

Then it's either all me or no me.

Weird, isn't it?
The poles of duality originate from the same source
It is all one, and because it is one, it unfolds in harmony

Where does this ‘inner’ end and the ‘outer’ begin? 

All I see is ?

Cool. I think that these aren't different states but two perspectives of the same thing. You either focus on the external world => all me or you focus inward where you find nothing => no me. Have I gotten it right?

[Pouya]

@EnlightenmentBlog Yeah, more like prespectives on what is.
