Be Nothing

[Arkandeus]

id like more discussion on this, to be no-thing.
to not be a thing, well what is a thing?
an object, a form, a body, a thought, I think what describes a thing is that it can perish.
Temples get destroyed ,bodies age and die, emotions pass, thoughts pass,people come and go...I think the nothingness is what remains unshaken throughout all this.
Our perception, our awareness is the only thing that is persistent. We've never not been aware. It's who we are. 
So to identify with simply being aware of things is to be nothing. To identify is to be content, to feel completely fulfilled just being aware, which requires the emptiness of ideas and desires we think are a part of us, but are not. 
Desires are an outward motions, ideas are expressions of ourselves, both are creations of ourselves,but if one wants to be happy he should not identify with his creations, but with himself, the creator.
The awareness that creates.
Ironically to ascend you have to let go of the creations you love and desire so much. It's sort of counter-intuitive because we want to create, we want to fulfill our desires. 

But perhaps before we can do that, we should first realize our identity as a creator, and that means putting ourselves before any sort of outward desire.
To be nothing.

@Arkandeus That sounds like a great, happy, fulfilling path you are on.  It may serve you well down the road, to keep in mind, that it is one of an infinite number of paths, that are equally happy and fulfilling.
