Sure it can. Just look at all of the answers in this thread. They all are different shapes that can be cut out of a knife. They are all true. Even your answer is a knife cutting itself by not cutting itself.

Have you ever tried answering questions by asking questions?

The conclusion is that the premise can necessarily never be clear. The premise can only be clear by inattention to details. By not looking anymore. The moment that something is clear is the moment that you start to solve the problem that you created yourself. Even if a person comes to you for solutions, you can only solve problems of your own mind. Your understanding of their problem. The same reasoning applies to the problem of hierarchy of people. You can only assess worth of your understanding of other person. By saying that you are better than him, you are saying that you are better than your understanding of him. Saying that is to say that you are better than yourself, as you are your understanding of others.

Try doing it in the opposite way. Given your understanding of yourself, try to explain to yourself why ordinary people are that way. If this explanation says that they are better/worse than you - you have the root cause of your fear of rejection. You have to find an explanation that does not rank you in any way. That any differences come with both pros and cons that balance each other evenly. This is when you will be able to speak to other people about your experience freely. If you feel better than them, you will seek rejection in their reactions.

Sanity is a social construct that measures two things: your ability to express your experience to everyday people everyday people's ability to relate to your experience There is no way for you to trust that you are sane, as that requires input from others. You can work on your ability to communicate your experience, so that your questionable sanity becomes normal.

What would you do if somebody came to you with a question like this? Would you try to answer him and 'help', so that he would feel better? Answers serve only one purpose - to forget questions. It is only possible due to the fact that you answer your own understanding of other people's questions. You also ask people questions and answer them yourself by understanding what they tell you in response. You can never be wiser than yourself. You can never be better than others. Humility and pride in this context are a misunderstanding of what is happening.

That's powerful.

My favorite self-inquiry method is spotting things that are obvious.

You, as you piece his words together when you interact with him.

Aren't we actually solving all problems with climate change? Isn't climate change caused by trying to solve all problems?

Judging your mother for hurting you is one thing. The other thing is judging yourself for judging your mother. Yet another thing is me judging you for judging yourself for judging your mother for hurting you. Thinking about your mother is not the same thing as hating her. You simply feel hate and feel hurt. Thoughts relate suffering with other thoughts by inattention to their depth. Your mother is a thought as well. Everything you know about her is you. Hating her is hating yourself. Judging her is judging yourself. I'm not saying anything to you. Everything you know about me is you. There is no me, there is only you. Love that. This is why your mother is, and always will be with you. Try not to turn her into a monster and try not to turn yourself into a monster by trying to turn her into a monster.

For me: an opportunity to introduce my two families to each other to allow my new family to share a unique moment of my life It can go horribly wrong on the both ends, but that's okay. The ceremony is the culmination of our commitment, and not the other way around.

It always struck me in Kahn's videos how he seems to miss to mention the importance of loving hate. The world is beautiful when you love hate and love love. To revolt against it is impossible. I'd love to though.

Why do you think that? You can see that everything ages and dies, but does that mean that you age and die? What evidence of aging do you have? Pictures of your childhood 'self'? In what sense that childhood self is you other than you calling it that? By calling it you, you are it. This is why aging is real. Because you make it real. By calling young you 'you'. Are you perhaps uncomfortable with the void that I left after pressing your assumptions?

That's common knowledge, right? It's common knowledge to follow common knowledge. Did someone tell you that? Or perhaps you were seeing someone saying it to you? Or maybe you just imagined someone telling it to you and you labelled that as a memory (these are always true, aren't they?). Or maybe you are your belief in physical death? I have never experienced any other death than the one that I'm experiencing now. It feels like a dream I've never had.

As you are reading this reply, you are the reply and there is no you. As you are imagining what I'm trying to convey, you are me and there is no you. The dream is not the physical body, the physical body is in the dream. Even the dream is in the dream. You are whatever comes up in the dream. As you look at a pen, there is nothing in the pen that makes it a pen. You are the pen. As you are angry, or infatuated, you are the emotion. There is nothing else that is this emotion. It is you. Your soul is not located somewhere behind your eyes, unless you think that it is there. The next dream is not after physical death. You don't notice death, as the next dream comes when you shift your awareness. You die the moment you are the next you. You are the lack of animals' emotions.

Why are emotions bullshit?

@Mikael89 No. You simply love nothing. ❤️

It screws with you because it is real. When you sit through it, you see what reality is.

Well, something just came to me. You reflect my insanity. The one that screams: WHY WON'T PEOPLE LISTEN TO ME?! I KNOW THE TRUTH, BUT IT CANNOT BE EXPRESSED! IT'S OBVIOUS, COME ON PEOPLE! WAKE UP! JUST LOOK!

You asked me @MarkusSweden comment here, but I honestly see nothing directed towards me. You are having your journey for your own purposes and that's fine. We're similar in this regard. If you need someone to open up to then you can reach out to me, friend.

No option for me in this poll. I'm always either thinking to myself, or talking to other people. I'm also sometimes talking to myself and thinking to other people too. I'm neither alone, nor not alone. I am.

Why questions depend on the notion of cause and effect. That is a mechanism through which Ego manifests itself. It is a duality that is broken once you start to spot circular reasoning in everyday situations. We tend to dismiss such reasonings as 'invalid' and paradoxical, but that dismissal is a manifestation of Ego. We tend to say that there is nothing to be done with such a circular reasoning and that is correct. Once you see through Ego, there is no you to resist it. Ego has a rock by being different from it.

Where would you obtain these from? From the world? Who would you give them back to? The world? Why would the world need them from you if it gave them away? Would it be perhaps that you think that you can make these insights better somehow? Aren't you the one that claims to not know everything? You are the world, but you don't know that yet. If you try to conquer the world, you will only conquer yourself. If you can't see that, then it will always seem like the world is hostile towards you. Because you cannot accept that you are it. The same applies to your family. You are your family. You are its member, but you are also the one that decides that your family is terrible. There is no other family than the one you see as terrible. Your family is terrible because you see it as such. Then - you rebel against it and complain that they don't understand your will for freedom. If you won't care for your family, your family won't care for you. If you fight it, you will be aware of possibility of retaliation. How would you know love from hate in such a situation? Aren't you loving your family through your rebellion? So that they see how rotten they are? Are you willing to accept that they fight back so that you see that you are rotten? That you smear with rot everything that you see by rebelling against it? Tell me this: can you see awareness? Is it perhaps that it is the only thing in existence that is not rotten? isn't that precisely because you cannot see it? What if you are awareness and you cannot see that? It would be a self-fulfilling prophecy, now wouldn't it?

You are the one that stirs yourself up. I have no idea what I'm talking about. It is just like what the signature says - I write these to myself so that I can work through them. When I work through them, I no longer see them as valid. They are an expression of 'I'. They have to go. I do enjoy your compliments, though . I feel like a zen master hahaha. When you're thinking about yourself, it is like putting a box into itself. It doesn't work that way. If you want to do that, you need a magician that will pull the trick off. He will have to show you the same box, but say that it contains itself. You can play along, open it, and be shocked that he lied (suffer), or not play along by saying that you tricked yourself (be ignorant). All I do is show how people are tricking themselves by explicitly stating the self-reference. The moment you say that something is true is the moment that you acknowledge the magician (Ego). The winning move is not to play, but then - nothing is true and there is no you. This knowledge is also completely useless when embodied, but you get to play not playing. It's awesome. Remember, that you are the one that understands these letters .
