Posted November 13, 2020 Here's a Rupert Spira pointer I just read that I really liked. Just like your thoughts don't have independent existence from your mind, individual minds don't have independent existence either.

The finite is an illusion, so individual minds are blended together to form one infinite Mind. Your mind is infinite, just as your soul is. God: the title suits me well.

Posted November 13, 2020 @Nthnl Un-consciousness is logically impossible. Therefore consciousness is eternal. You cannot experience the opposite of experience. If you're in control of the dream then there's no problem. But if you let the dream control you, then sooner or later you will find yourself in downtown Hiroshima. You can take this seriously, or you can take it flippantly. It doesn't matter, as long as you don't mind having your skinned burned off at some point.

Posted November 13, 2020 @from chaos into self Prior to the thought I am, is awareness aware of “the thought”. Awareness has no I am, because awareness knows not an I am not. Awareness is aware of awareness. Forgive me if I’m just basically ‘talking over you’ / saying the same damn thing.

Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) @Nahm is awareness really aware of awareness? Awareness is aware of direct experience. But is that really what awareness is? You can be conscious of nothing. It’s tricky to pull off but possible. That is as close as you get to being aware of awareness imo. Just a belief but I think awareness is prior to experience. You can only experience experience and cannot experience awareness imo. But again that’s just a thought. Not the truth. At the end of the day, I am as I am. Direct experience is king. Edit: I keep rereading this post to try to spot if I got it wrong but no I really think awareness cannot really be aware of itself for direct experience is not pure awareness. Direct experience carries a meaning that is beyond awareness. Something illusory. Direct experience is fabrication, not awareness. I have never felt myself to be aware of awareness; I have only been aware of direct experience. Edit 2: my being is prior to everything I experience; I cannot experience my being for it is emptiness. Nothing is there to be experienced. Edited November 13, 2020 by from chaos into self Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If a thought, as a label, is taken to be an object labelled, direct experience, or scrutinizing, inspecting, inquiring, is king. If a thought is not taken to be an object, inspection is no longer possible, as awareness is aware of awareness.
