<br />
What one really is one already is before anything appeared, would it not be futile to try to become what one already is before anything appeared with that which appeared?<br />
<br />
An appeared body cannot sense the infinite, an appeared mind cannot understand or know the infinite which alone always is, no matter what it comes up with.<br />
<br />
So do not take anything that is ever said as something you think you are must do something with.<br />
<br />
Not any form of meditation or connecting or contemplation will make any difference, you cannot become what you never stopped being. There is just Being, no one to do it.<br />
<br />
There is no self here, in the illusion that once appeared and will go, yet you cannot really ever deny that there is existing, it is existence alone, that which never comes or goes which now and again appears as if becoming all this, it is That which has experienced every waking moment, dream moment and the end of experiences of deep sleep, and your body posture right now, the words your currently reading and the thoughts about them, all the senses that perceive or constitute the world are experienced by You, know this thoughtless Knowledge.<br />
<br />
Only You exist like only the rope exists when you think you see a snake, only sand and heat are there when you think your seeing water if you happen to be in the dessert seeing a mirage.

So you keep walking on without thinking where you are going so after a while you look around and think "where am I?", and you get a little anxious…
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://c.tenor.com/h8YUjC8iUiEAAAAd/lost-in-the-woods-claire-ryann-crosby.gif" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="332" data-original-width="640" src="https://c.tenor.com/h8YUjC8iUiEAAAAd/lost-in-the-woods-claire-ryann-crosby.gif" width="400" /></a></div>
And then you suddenly spot a big scary wolf in the distance coming towards you… So you start pannicking and run away deeper and deeper into the forrest. But after running as long and hard as you could you realize the big scary wolf did not follow you at all but now your even more lost, so in dispair you start looking for your way home and you notice its getting dark.

So after wandering around feeling totally lost you spot a lake with a little house on the side so you decide to see if you can spend the night there, but turns out the door is open, upon entering you see a kitchen with a catle of soup still on the stove and since your very hungry from all of the running you eat until your satisfied. There is also a fire place and your feeling cold so you light it up and decide to sit on the couch to warm up and because you feel tired you dose and dream about finding a map in the same house on the table...<div>
<br />So when you suddenly wake up in the morning you look on the table and indeed there is a map pointing out where you are and how to get out of the forrest so your feeling very happy now and excited you put the map in your pocket and after eating the left over soup you decide to go on your way home, out of the forrest, but when you walk near the lake you trip over a twig and you almost fall into the lake and to your dismay you see that the map fell from your pocket into the lake so without hesitating you jump after it but its too late the map is drenched and unusable you start to cry cause you can't get home now and to make matters even worse the big scary wolf has returned at the side of the lake and this time he has brought his scary friends and you can't swim well enough to swim to the other side so you start screaming for help HELP HEEELP! PLEASE HELP MEEE!!...

And then you wake up in bed at home safe and sound, were you ever lost?</div><div>
<br />Like this your dreaming this life now with all of its ups and downs and troubles and strugles, now reading this and no matter what you do, you can't make yourself wake up, the dream keeps coming back until it doesn't. No matter what you are doing your dreaming of doing it, the question is who is dreaming you?... Are you in it separately or is it just one appearance in the mind, nothing separate, just life happening, no separate controller who is doing? No doer, just doing, no one to liberate? Everything just happening?</div>Xavierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11948677999088597578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281529310440398717.post-62668744127111678462022-03-01T09:02:00.002-08:002022-03-01T09:43:10.135-08:00There is really totally no self right now, look for yourself!So this blog is a part of a blog roll on the premise of no-self for the website: www.liberationunleashed.com I have mostly written about non-duality after seeing happened, one of them is now only writing about food and recipes which is also non-duality if you stretch it very far ;-) Anyway so I did see there is no-self in experience at all when I was staring out of my window, which went like: "So there is no-self let me check that out finally and once and for all right now! So seeing, hearing touching tasting smelling is happening right now whether I choose to or not, so how can eyes, ears, skin, nose actually be me in itself, how amazing! I mean if you are some-thing you should actually have control over it right?
So on I went, I heard and felt my stomach roaring, so in direct experience, I did not control the whole digestion including chewing, after all when you put food in when it's time to eat chewing just starts and you don't control that exactly (check that out). When the food has turned to waste it eventually has to come out and it will whether you like it or not. Filtering the liquids you take in just happening, when the bladder is too full it will come out in the end whether you like it or not.
Are you still with me here? Hairs, fingernails and skin is growing all by itself. Breathing will go on by itself, you don't really decide how the air goes in (deep, shallow, rate) and out and during sleep it just goes on. Thoughts about every experience you have and about others come up spontaneously without consciously doing that, thinking happens... All of that seen to be true in direct experience, do I exist itself behind all that controlling it all? NO, so they are right, totally right, how amazing! And this is true for all those people on their bikes(I live in the (Netherlands) and the drivers of those cars. They have a destination but how they get there is going quite unconsciously and is not really in their hands, it just flows, also they did not decide what they wanted at the time they did, so what is true here is true for others.

But only reading this won't do in this process, it only comes alive when tested and seen in your own direct experience of life. So the only goal of this blog post is to get you to at least thoroughly test this out for yourself at a point in life, another advice is to not read another spiritual or life altering text without actually testing it out for yourself in actual experience without prejudice if it is true. Ciaran Healy, the one who was the start of this process through the precursor site of Liberation Unleashed called Ruthless Truth, always said to really test things out, to figuratively put on a pair of glasses of no-self to have an actual honest look how things would be if they indeed were totally true, taking that perspective, looking at it from all angles, seriously looking true those lenses and then taking them of so to speak and then look if it could really be true already but you just never really looked at it that way. Also good if you are arguing with somebody all the time spent a minute in their shoes, imagine maybe they are right or at least you understand them better.
Do that for a while with this blog post, really walk around with those goggles and in those shoes of no-self, like a scientist… Is it true?

font-size: large;"> A description from the perspective of
the Self, the Brahman, the One without a second: “I am there where
there are no differences, no love, no hate, no peace nor war, no
beauty and no ugliness. Where I am there are no problems and no fear
for pain or desire for pleasure. I am without beginning or end,
without creation, sustenance or destruction. There is no action or
inaction, no will to achieve or lethargy to let everything happen by
itself. There is no doer, neither is there free will or fate. I have
no cause yet I, the Self, the Brahman am the cause of everything. I
am the always non-objective beyond any subject or object, beyond
seer, sight and seen, observer or observed, sense, senser and sensed.
I have no body yet everything is my body. Everything is appearing to
me and in me like a dream and disappears again.</span></p>

</span></span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">First there was nothing beyond the
words nothing and everything and then there was One with the tendency
to become many, from it started to appear and disappear the many, but
what comes and goes is not really the Real, what is Real can only be
something that is Eternal, Unchanging and Undivided which I am. Other
terms for my true nature are Being, Consciousness, Bliss.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Then human beings came into being by me
becoming identified with a body as my own self, also your body
reader. Through identifying as your body and all the bodies I can
experience separation and the many, having all kinds of adventures,
like being a king or a hero saving beautiful girls from villains. I
had all kinds of fantastic dreams and now I am dreaming your exact
circumstance (reading this at this very moment) and every problem or
victory or lack thereof. If you can see or remember that all the time
then that is what is called Self-realization.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">By having the true conviction that I am
Brahman, One without a second this can come to fruition. This is the
only mantra of and beyond all mantras all others are there only to
silence the mind and when the mind becomes still then the real mantra
practice can begin, first in words then in thoughts and then seeing
it's real meaning on the inside of the inside… When this conviction
that I am Brahman One without a second becomes automatic drop it and "become" That alone…
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">You are already That One without a
second when your body is born, then automatically the idea or feeling
that I am this and you are that comes but never is this the Truth,
there is only one Truth and Thou Art That always, birth after birth.
The Knowing of this beyond knower and known is the true Happiness and
Bliss we are all looking for in oh so many things and experiences
outside of Ourselves but that can and will never last or give continuous happiness. As a big example we
look for it in (new) relationships but one or both of you are going
to get sick and die or you do something wrong and you split up and
love mostly turns into hate. When looking at the true center which is
the Self it is Self looking at Self, it is the only Self that there is and it cannot
be seen by the not-Self so discriminate between the Self and the
not-Self, between the Real and the unreal what comes and goes and
what is lasting.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">It has been said shun everything
outside yourself like excretion or poison and go inside to experience
Yourself. This has been said to motivate you to experience and know
your own Self. Ask yourself who am I? What am I? Why try to know all
else without knowing Yourself the one that knows first. There are thoughts
but how do you know that they are there? It is known by me the I so
you are not the thoughts. You know the pleasures and the pains of the
body and the body as a whole so your not the body then who are you?
The I who knows, identifies with this and that? This is not as stable
as you think, where does it go in deep dreamless sleep? Then appears
a dream body and your identified with the dream body, your not even
that, look where has this I itself its resting place? Look, right
when you and the world appear again after sleep and see a minute ago there was no I? How could that be possible? In sleep what I really am
has not ended but this I and the world it sees or is aware of both
disappeared totally for you then who am I really all the time? Cause should I not be the same thing all the time? The Self One without a
second that did not disappear and so does not appear.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Be still and know… Be still and Know
that I am That itself… I am That One without a second and the rest
is superimposed upon it like the snake within a rope or a garden
hose, the water in a mirage or the thief in a post, totally real to
you before you look closer and you become anxious or even terrified but when you look again real close you see the reality and your at peace again.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">I am That, I am Brahman, I am alone the
One without a second! Within me there is nothing but also everything
that came from nothing and what comes from nothing can only be more
of the same…But this nothing is total fullness, radiant of all
encompassing Eternal Love with Bliss as its consequence… Keep That
Eternal flame burning in your Heart beyond time and space, stay aware

I live... I dream... I sleep... I wake... I eat... I drink... I poop and I pee... I cough... I read... I look, listen, I feel and I taste, in short I am aware... I body... I think...<br />

But I also blow as the wind... I shine... I cloud... I drive and I fly and I whistle, I bicycle and I walk... I sport... I grow and I blossom... I die and I am born... I build and I demolish...<br />

I water... I burn... I freeze... I sky... I make... I preserve... I destroy... I...<br />

I am and I am not.... I has never become you... I was there before you... I is the only one that is always already there but before time and space... I am impossible to capture... Not in any word or method whatsoever... I cannot be experienced, all experience appears within me... Everything comes and goes in me the one that never comes or goes...<br />
<br />
What comes and goes is like a dream or illusion that appears, so real... so beautiful or terrible as long as it lasts... But real or unreal to whom does the world appear? The whole universe? To me... But who am I?<br />

What is seen as separate from all else, the convulsion of identification with body and mind, that I when sought has never been found. Thoughts about who, what or how I am, a feeling of being a separated I appear objective to me... One is aware of them, where do they come from? where are they now? Keep looking, you are already that which sees them... Wonder who am I? Wonder who is the one wondering... Can this one be found? Does it exist at all?<br />
<br />
What you think you are is like seeing a scary man in dim light which turns out to be a scarecrow. Has the man ever really existed? Can the man do anything to recognise his true I? All this time there was only the scarecrow.<br />

When this becomes clear beyond thoughts this can be paired with bliss, a feeling of happiness, you'll want to keep repeating this, make it permanent, wonderful for a long time but a trap, nothing and I mean absolutely nothing in the appearance can and shall ever become permanent, it appears within you, nice but who are you to whom does it appear? What is the unchanging you that is neverending beyond bliss, beyond being and non-being?<br />
<br />
I... before I and you, before everything and nothing, before any idea... Only as That alone one can [as a manner of speaking] say I am That and That is All!...<br />
<br />
That pretends it becomes all this, including you, but there is only That having the superimposition that the waking dream is real... Knowing That am I as I is the only end of all misery, all uncertainty...<br />
<br />
And then there was an elephant who blew the story away!<br />

This can be directly experienced by ignoring the show or dream including ourself without falling asleep [which actually means falling back into yourSelf]. We need to know what is I or Self or actually what its not... We think we are this body mind organism but are we?<br />
Is this person always there? Does the body or mind always stay the same? Who am I that can ignore the world and its false identity and fall away in sleep?<br />
<br />
Sitting straight with eyes closed sort of like falling asleep but the instant you feel your dosing of open the eyes and again leave everything to be exactly like it is; the outside world and its noises and attractions, the inside world and its distracting thoughts. When noticing you are getting totally distracted by thoughts then and there look if you can still find those thoughts, did you actually look? Great, could you find any still? Then wonder ''thoughts are gone but I the one that noticed them is still here, then who am I? Look for the one that notices thoughts, dont think about this, look... When the eyes close and right before falling asleep do it all again.<br />
<br />
This I or Self that notices is like a fire which is there but cannot be seen by the smoke or the salt in a glass of water that cannot be seen after a while but is surely there or like the stars during the daytime. But the Self cannot be known objectively at all, not trough any action or practise done by the person cause if it could it should be traceable itself. The perfume of bliss or uncaused happiness is your compas. But be careful, the bliss cannot last, only you who knows of it and itself never comes or goes, the unknown knower of all really lasts. The one that already was before this grand universal illusion started...<br />

Ik ben en ik ben niet.... Ik is niet jou geworden... Ik was er al voor jou... Ik is als enige altijd nu maar voor tijd en ruimte... Ik ben niet te vangen... Niet in welk woord of methode dan ook... Ik kan niet ervaren worden alle ervaring verschijnt in mij... Alles komt en gaat in mij die nooit kwam of zal gaan...<br />
<br />
Wat komt en gaat is als een verschenen droom of illusie, zo echt... Zo mooi of verschrikkelijk zolang het duurt... Maar echt of niet echt aan wie verschijnt de wereld? Het hele universum? Aan mij... Maar wie is ik?<br />

Wat wordt gezien als ik afgescheiden van de rest, de verkramping van identificatie met lichaam en geest, dat ik wanneer gezocht is nooit gevonden... Gedachten over wie, wat of hoe ik ben, een gevoel een afgescheiden ik te zijn verschijnen objectief aan mij... Je bent je bewust ervan, waar komen ze vandaan? Waar zijn ze dan nu? Blijf kijken, je bent al dat wat ze ziet... Vraag je af wie ben ik? Vraag je af wie zich dat afvraagt...<br />
<br />
Wat je denkt te zijn is als je in schemerlicht een enge man denkt te zien die na beter te kijken een vogelverschrikker blijkt te zijn. Heeft de man ooit echt bestaan? Kan de man iets doen om zijn ware ik te herkennen? Al die tijd was er alleen de vogelverschrikker.<br />

Wanneer dit voorbij gedachten duidelijk wordt kan dit gepaard gaan met bliss, een gelukzalig gevoel, dit zal je willen blijven herhalen, permanent maken, prachtig voor een lange tijd maar een val, niets maar dan ook niets in de verschijning kan en zal ooit permanent worden, het verschijnt in jou, mooi maar aan wie verschijnt het, wat is het onveranderlijke nooit stoppende jou voorbij aan bliss, aan zijn en niet zijn?<br />
<br />
Ik... voor ik en jij, voor alles en niets, voor elk idee... Pas als Dat alleen kun je zeggen ik ben Dat en Dat is Alles!...<br />
<br />

One of the great sayings of the upanishads, you are That [one]... All very nice in words but how to have the direct experience of this?<br />
<br />
We all want everlasting happiness without break or end, for this we first need to find who am I? and what is truly lasting and therefore truly real. That everything one notices through the senses is objective to oneself. What is the I prior to everything? To really want to know this more than anything else is number one which cannot be done, but when your truly fed up with the drama of life and realise there is no lasting happiness in it is the time to start this.<br />
<br />
All sense experience is only electrical signals interpreted by the brain, all thoughts are only about this and are observed like the body is known. It is all in the mind like the dream is, all fleeting and unreal like a mirage, real as real can be for the dream character but after waking up where did it go? So meditate on where the mind or brain comes from, who notices it coming and going? In deep sleep where does it go? All senses, body and thoughts or in other words everything one thinks of as I go away but do you stop existing in deep sleep? No, so who am I? Everything, the whole world is in the mind but who knows mind?<br />

<br />
''Meditating'' on this one without a second is a bit like falling asleep, all sense imput and thoughts are ignored until everything disappears. Turning the mind inwards instead of outwards to its source by not giving senses or thoughts or anything else outside of the mind any attention. If there are too many thoughts inquire to who do they come? Thoughts need to stop for some time to see this but not done by you which is also in thought so ingrained that it even feels like a real I but look is this not known?<br />
<br />
Just stay in no-thought and not-knowing with no effort, when thoughts come let them tell their story smile and be silent and realise everything is mind and focus it on its source... If you don't succeed keep it up everytime you remember it cause mind will come up with anything to not turn inwards.<br />

<br />
The instant before realising your awake, before thought [which is ego itself] has risen there is a place without an I to achieve any goal at all, be it spiritual or mental or physical. How much effort does it after all take to silently be yourself and be utterly completely unconditionally happy in sleep? In actuality it also does not take any effort at all to be what you really are while awake were it not we see ourself for a limited body-mind which has risen from you yourself.<br />
<br />
Everything rises from you, your own limitless being, but that which has the concept ''I am this limited body-mind organism'' can never become this or experience it lastingly. Your best bet would be to be silent until you realise first hand that the one trying to be silent first needed to rise before it could try anything, that it itself is not silent to begin with and not lasting, everything is always in motion except the only real silent one which is you for real and always has been. Which cannot be reached by any method or experience whatsoever not even by a non-method or non-experience or anything which has only the slightest to do with a separate individual, let the arisen dream unfold like last nights dream, it just happens like it does leaving no trace at all.<br />

<span style="line-height: 1.38;">But in the end what truly is you is that in which the very mind itself rises and sets... Find the your in the sentence ''your mind''. One instance of true silence of the mind is enough, catch it the instant before falling asleep or when you drop dead :-) or the moment you slowly start to realise your awake or born ;-) Before remembering who you are and what you have to do. Then stopping thoughts, meditating or stari</span><span style="line-height: 1.38;">ng at a wall for twenty years to know thyself will seem like a big joke.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 1.38;">There is no world separate from You the Self at all but to become acquainted to already being the Self anything you can be or become aware of needs to be bypassed or forgotten as irrelevant for realising what is Self. The dream will unfold as it will and end when it will end, You won't... What really is you is the only thing fit to be called real, cause it is the only unchanging and lasting unnamable, which can never be lost or found or gained or experienced in the dream by the dream character.</span></div>

<br />
48 As the fire—brand, when not in motion, is free from all appearances and remains changeless, so Consciousness, when not in motion, is free from all appearances and remains Changeless.<br />
<br />
49 When the fire—brand is set in motion, the appearances that are seen in it do not come from elsewhere. When it is still, the appearances do not leave the motionless fire—brand and go elsewhere, nor do they enter into the fire—brand itself.<br />
<br />
50 The appearances do not emerge from the fire—brand, because their nature is not that of a substance. This applies likewise to Consciousness, because of the similarity of the appearances.<br />
<br />
51—52 When Consciousness is associated with the idea of activity, as in the waking and dream states, the appearances that seem to arise do not come from anywhere else. When Consciousness is non—active, as in deep sleep, the appearances do not leave the non—active Consciousness and go elsewhere, nor do they merge in it. The appearances do not emerge from Consciousness, for their nature is not that of a substance. They are incomprehensible, because they are not subject to the relation of cause and effect.<br />
<br />
53 A substance may be the cause of another substance and a non— substance, the cause of another non—substance. But the individuals cannot possibly be anything like a substance or a non— substance.<br />
<br />
54 Thus external appearances (objects) are not caused by the mind, nor is the mind caused by them. Hence thoughtful people hold to the principle of absolute non—creation.<br />
<br />
55 As long as a person clings to the belief in causality, he will find cause producing effect. But when this attachment to causality wears away, cause and effect become non—existent.<br />

<br />
What did you know then? Pleasure? Pain? Discomfort? Sickness, health? Young, old age, death, life? Not even that you or anything exists at all, right?<br />
<br />
Still there was purely the happiness of being without any condition whatsoever... It is only at birth and after that the whole show of conditions and conditioning for hapiness starts, while actually you already have it! :)<br />
<br />
My first memory was shortly after birth sitting on my moms lap not knowing I was the babies body, no thoughts, only being, just all happenings all movement happening without an intermediary concept ''I'' and this is how things should be.<br />
<br />
Can you remember a time that no matter what happened yesterday waking up from sleep there was no memory of before or of being ''you'' or how things should be? That is the only true happiness and it is right here right now without any movement or effort, unconditionally...<br />

Because you are without quality and all quality at the same time this cannot be experienced or gained like the wave cannot experience or gain the whole ocean it is already a part of and one with. So nothing you as the separate me idea the part of all impermanent quality does or doesn't do changes one bit, you cannot become the qualityless which is the only permanence through life.
It cannot ever be reached cause the one trying to reach is itself impermanent. </span></span><br />

<br />
This what you are cannot ever be described not even by buddha or krishna or christ, it is about where the descriptions come from namely your own Self. So there can be no set teaching, no bible, no doctrine, no dogma, no prescription how to live, no judgement, no battles and no techniques to reach or realise Self, you are it at birth before birth at death and after death.<br />

Like nothing or emptiness folding out of itself as everything conceivable or just form and then folding in on itself leaving no trace. Which is like a castle in the sky, for a while it seems to be there and then *POOF* its gone as if it never existed, which of course is true.

So as long as the play lasts and the stage is set play your alloted role the way you like to, do your duties without or even with complaining if you like ;-) Follow your dreams passionately or silently enjoy the spectacle unfolding knowing its non-selfness, temporariness, emptiness and unsatisfactoriness in the end...<br />

All and everything and all things that can be identified as I have the same source and so it has to be one and connected from the beginning...<br />

Absolutly no concepts of good or bad nor a self (which is also just a concept) which can be this or that, no holding back, totally without control. What is the only difference now? Thoughts that your this or that, also totally without control. Life is, full on now already with or without thought!<br />

No doubt the ''teachers'' said this cause visitors demanded a teaching, a practise, something to do to reach the state of the teacher, but these teachers knew something beyond any state or practise.<br />
<br />
What I want to say is that any practise implies a duality, someone who can do something to get from A to B, looks like duality to me ;) Not because doing it is wrong in any way, doing it feels great, when getting very good at it might even make you feel like your enlightened floating above the rest of humanity, very nice but before you know it your chasing this enlightened state which can only leave you eventually and then you are doing Self-inquiry for the rest of your life.<br />
<br />
So whatever is done is what appears and is what is, but do not think you will ever reach what you think you are looking for. If you can reach it then it will certainly be lost, but still to know all this experientialy, really anything I say here will be too much when even effortless effort is too much effort :) Anyway if in the flow of life when normally meditation or self-inquiry occur you just sit there totally goalless, sensations, feelings and thoughts flowing freely, non-attachment to whatever comes up, to anything at all that is impermanent including body, [I-]thought then this might ''occur'' but can never be your doing, not even as a gradual or fast process, cause even a glimpse is not a lasting knowing of what is without any self, it might be seen but what is meant is that there is no seer left to see there is no self. Although even the terms lasting and knowing don't cut it cause both still imply there is someone to lastingly know...<br />
<br />
A good analogy would be of the dream character, what can it do or not do to wake up?<br />

Looking at this picture for now see the top of the iceberg as the separate individual, the iceberg below the surface as the world and the ocean as the consciousness, the observer/witness or the ''I am'' or what other word you like.<br />
<br />
There is another way to look at this, one can be identified as the top of the iceberg, the whole iceberg or the ocean but... What is underlaying all of this? Isn't it all water?<br />
<br />
One can identify but where is the identifier? Beyond the thought I, beyond the mind?<br />
<br />
What this blogpost is to point out is that in essence there is no differentiation between the seeming separate ego/self, the universe/all form and consciousness, because of their equal underlaying element which everything contains or even is in essence. Like in the Heart Sutra they say: ''Form is emptiness and the very emptiness is form; emptiness does not differ from form, and form does not differ from emptiness.<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
Whatever is form, that is emptiness, and whatever is emptiness, that is form.''</div>

Trying to get rid of oneself is as ridiculous as a salt doll doing all kinds of things and trying all kinds of techniques to merge with the ocean while whether it does something or not soon enough the ocean and the doll are one without any possible difference whatsoever.<br />
<br />
There is no salt doll, just salt formed like a doll. You are not that different are you? Just water, fire, earth, air, flesh and bones forming a body, what are you?<br />
Eventually it will have to merge with the earth.<br />

<br />
<br />
So actually we are like salt dolls doing everything we can to matter, to create permanence from and as something impermanent so that we keep existing. But do we exist as a separate individual in the first place?<br />
<br />
Right now? What is for certain is that there is reading happening, but can you really find a reader? If your listening to music or are gonna watch TV where are the listener and watcher? Which are you? Do you keep changing? If your honest you can find all kinds of things you are impermanently but never something that is really lasting, or maybe you do but what is you, the permanent you?<br />
<br />
What are you really? What is permanent? Non-dualists call it Self, Buddha said non-Self, both are true cause it has both nothing to do with the individual and what it does or doesn't do. Something which isn't a thing with any quality at all is there when all appearances of the mind and the mind itself disappear, when what you consider yourself to be is gone without a trace, one might call this the true Self beyond Self or non-Self, better to be totally silent about it...<br />

<br />
<br />
Any description makes you try to find it and get to it while the you itself that tries to get there is left uninvestigated. Can tell you that there is no self or a Self but you have to find out for yourself in everyday ordinary life. Although it is never about doing anything different than what is already happening but only about observing if there is an individual there doing all that your doing, where is your permanent self? What is it? What is your original face? Before the belief in a self started... Look, when did it begin?<br />

Salt doll pictures: <a href="http://maiawalczak.wordpress.com/2012/07/17/the-salt-doll-by-anthony-de-mello/" target="_blank">Maia Walczak</a>Xavierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11948677999088597578noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281529310440398717.post-55147406371400696712013-06-17T10:51:00.000-07:002013-06-17T10:51:21.811-07:00Impermanent means empty and non-self?Everything is empty of permanence, seeing this is the only so called end destination of the spiritual path or investigation into reality. Both the emptyness and impermanence of phenomena or everyday life needs to be focussed on in the direct experience of right now to be able to see this clearly.<br />
<br />
So wherever this is read, whatever is going on around you right now, focus on the senses one by one, are you involved in the process of seeing and hearing or was seeing and hearing already going on if the focus was there or not?<br />
<br />
Can you control exactly what is seen or heard? Besides the movement or closing of eyes and ears of course, although is this really controlled by you, can you point out the decider?<br />
Notice if when ears or eyes are closed hearing or seeing continues or not.<br />
<br />
Now focus on touch, the but touching where you sit or the feet touching where you stand, the feeling of cold or heat or breeze on the skin, can you decide what is exactly felt? Are you involved in the process of feeling? Smelling? Tasting?<br />
<br />
Emotions, do you have any control when anger, irritation, sadness or laughter comes up and disappears again? If your honest the answer would be no, something happens or something is said that triggers it followed by a thought labeling it your emotion and as good or bad. But are these thoughts true? Are it your emotions or just emotions? Are you involved in the process of emotions at all?<br />
<br />
Then thinking, are you in control of this or can it be seen that this are only thoughts floating by as involuntarily as clouds in a clear sky? Look, where is the last thought that appeared? Thoughts are real but its content is like dreams, seems totally real but did it ever really take place? Is the thought I really justified or just a label? Like the mind is conditioned to do from birth. Can you tell me the next exact thought that is going to appear? When thoughts are there or have just disappeared can you pinpoint where they are other than a vague ''somewhere in the head or brain''?<br />
<br />
When your having negative or depressive thoughts is this your choice? Can you choose not to have them? If the answer is no then consider if you are the thinker, wouldn't you have possitive, happy or briljant thoughts all the time if you were? Again are you really involved in the process of thinking?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOERWIYT5-KHIII9IPE9M_GW8gDwngqpS_WOjQXeWj-T7mzGRECthB-fpVONozclG9tzNK2rDqGl8rL5NCsbGqymlpXlbUuevpkbsl4MGy-LmIGKQoXAOxfHwwpVIQY5XKmxjVSK-x2oNG/s1600/dogen_pool.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOERWIYT5-KHIII9IPE9M_GW8gDwngqpS_WOjQXeWj-T7mzGRECthB-fpVONozclG9tzNK2rDqGl8rL5NCsbGqymlpXlbUuevpkbsl4MGy-LmIGKQoXAOxfHwwpVIQY5XKmxjVSK-x2oNG/s400/dogen_pool.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Now is all of the above ever really permanent or stable? Is it happening every second 24/7? Really? <br />
Isn't it so that every night when falling asleep thought slows down and eventually stops? That senses all stop till there is no consciousness of anything at all?<br />
<br />
Then the mostly used non-dual approach would be to state ''what is left is what you are'', must have heard and read that sentence hundreds of times, but actually this is only clinging to having an identity, an identity beyond and outside and transcending existence, mostly called Self or Consciousness or Awareness. Sounds nice, and maybe even helpful as a beginning stage but despite very few this either leads to some sort of super ego and/or nihilism, ''I am the watcher'' so only watching and survival are left.<br />
<br />
Is there really a consciousness apart from eye-consciousness, ear-consciousness, skin-consciousness, tongue-consciousness and nose-consciousness? Or is it just a label for the assumption of something there combining the processes of the senses? Like weather being the term for all the different environmental conditions and processes?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsCG8gwmETMPQ7hyphenhyphenci1jsATAUTSqIHZzqY5xlYTG2GCX3jj9T-bWk8wm-uyyF3vkreOQniVNhjCm4Zti2rs2TmGJLD1YJ_Fmt2jCC9z9TaKRFBw9-L0-pTVPIj3S5uqLq2NzoxjyzWHE6F/s1600/double+rainbow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsCG8gwmETMPQ7hyphenhyphenci1jsATAUTSqIHZzqY5xlYTG2GCX3jj9T-bWk8wm-uyyF3vkreOQniVNhjCm4Zti2rs2TmGJLD1YJ_Fmt2jCC9z9TaKRFBw9-L0-pTVPIj3S5uqLq2NzoxjyzWHE6F/s400/double+rainbow.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Aren't senses also impermanent and empty and non-self? In other words investigate, is there a you anywhere at all? Anything to cling to or to manipulate into peace or non-suffering if mind and body are just terms for different processes and conditions?<br />
<br />
Anyway if there cannot be found any permanent solid identity and nothing is permanent, do you exist at all? Isn't everything empty and impermanent and non-self as it is and always already was? Coming in existence and disappearing every instance, what is left to manipulate or achieve? Life goes on without the need to look for an identity anywhere. Nothing to improve, nothing to crave or avoid, nothing existing permanently not even beyond or prior to existence, all just as empty. Nothing there to get out of duality into non-duality and keep there...<br />

<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">Just sitting, just looking, just hearing, just sensations, just thoughts in different shapes (judgemental, possitive, negative, funny, anything) passing, just eating, just relaxation, just reading, just typing...

<div class="_wk">
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"></span> </div>
<div class="_wk">
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">So is there separation at all? Isn't there ever only wholeness? Can the label I which is just another thought limit wholeness? Is a self locatable? You are the consciousness behind every experience, sounds great and even feels great, for a while, but it can soon become an identification, it's like putting a glass house around everything and standing outside looking in, but is this really the experience?</span></div>
