  1. Is reality a hallucination, or just you?

    It's easy to say reality is hallucination, but here's the thing... We label our experience as "reality". Notice the problem? We use our ego/thoughts to describe reality. When we say reality is a hallucination, that's an identity. That is your knowledge and that is used to strength your ego by gaining something from that concept/thought.

    Here's a thought, when you're actually lucid dreaming, can you tell if it isn't real or not? Not after the dream but during it? I've never done it myself, would be cool to get some insight on that because I know normal dreams can actually be perceived as "real", to me at least. It just shows that it's possible that what we "see" is not in actuality.

    Whenever we say "yes, reality is this", what we say isn't in actuality, because it's our own construction. It's what you "THINK" it is.

    Silence what you think/know, and really open up to the truth.

    Great insight

    This part needs to be ironed out. Can you explain again?

    So when I say nothing, it's as you said, there is nothing to experience. I think when I said "it's something I need to experience now", I should have said experimented rather than experience. I liked how you said there is nothing to experience, that is the essence of nothing.

    Even the motive to want to experience is the movement of thought/the thinker. This is futile.

    You're right. Literally everything I am doing is part of experience. When I said I want to experiment, again that is still being in the thought/memory. When I do experiment, that experimentation will create a memory, which leads to pleasure...

    There is nothing to experience... I love that (a reaction to this concept, I must be careful)

    This topic is very delicate, and it's something that cannot be understood by text or even understood, because understanding is thinking. Only by ending the movement... Then there is nothing to end

    So, how does this actually play out in our lives? Can we kill duality and still think? Which doesn't make sense, if you end duality, you're ending thinking, but what does this mean? 

    If we end duality, what does this mean?

    When there is no experiencer which is the accumulation of experience “knowledge/memory” then there is no entity to identify. 

    Do you see what that implies??

    Not sure exactly what it implies but here's my guess. It implies that we will see reality, but when I say "see", we don't identify. Nothing is to identify. There no is thought/process. There is no memory of reality? There is no seeing. Meaning...

    There is nothing since there is no movement.

    Clarify in my logic :/ 


  4. So does this mean reality is paradoxical in this manner. We are both reality and not. We can't identify ourselves with reality but at the same time we are reality, or at least, what we call reality, since we're part of it. We can say "we're reality" in the identification manner, but then we can say "we're reality" without thought/process, if that makes sense? The only way we can say we're reality without thought/process is by no-thinking mhmm...


  5. Does even the label "we" exist according to reality? The "we" indicates that we are unified but when I say "we", it only really means the human race...

    I think, personally, we are just more than humans. We shouldn't identify ourselves as humans but as reality (I'm sure you all know this, and yet here I am, thinking I'm human). We put our awareness on ourselves when that awareness is created by the human (agree to disagree but just an insight)? Maybe the awareness/conciseness exist because reality made it exist, but it's like a nightmare because we identify this awareness/consciousness so much that we trick ourselves to being just humans when in actual fact, we are the WHOLE thing. 

    it causes doubt, existential crisis and for some people, be pulled into dogmatic ideologies

    I am both the stars, planets, nothingness, human, literally the whole universe. Being human is only one segment

    It's an important question to ask

    I will tell you how I see it, others can disagree.  

    It's nice to have two sides of the story. This is why I love forums, because I have never really went into my conciseness this deeply without the introductions of these topics. Yeah sure, Leo have made videos about this but I feel like forums really do help you go deeper because you can pinpoint issues by talking about them with somebody directly

    I just don't want wars to happen. What helps me learn is that there are more points of view.

    You can only BE awareness/consciousness and you are always that whether you know it or not.

    As awareness, you are aware OF seeing..... (and hearing, smelling, tasting, touch, thought, etc)

    The limited action figure most think they are can not "see" awareness because it's attributeless.

    Is that more clear for you?

    Yes, thank youu :). Yeah I totally misunderstood. 

    I have to look at the nature of awareness in more details, the way you just described it. thank you. Biggest struggle of that is being constantly aware. Somethings I try to be really aware but my mind slips away. I guess it takes years of dedication to it.

    But most times, I feel like awareness always loops back to the old aged question of why am I aware, or why am I here...

    @B_Naz Were you really born? 

    There was no "me" to be born. I was reality until I identified, then "I" was born. I still am reality, but I can't see it. Or I can see it, but I'm blind to it. Maybe there is nothing to see...

    Who the fuck am I? What the fuck am I? Am I even a thing? Mhmmmm hmmm hmmm

    Fucks with my mind, need more of this

    You are much greater than thought. You are the awareness in which thought arises, and sensations arise. You can walk around this Earth without thoughts once your soul enters your body, once you know yourself as the awareness.

     

    You are right. I am not my ego/thought. I am something more. Or nothing more. We will see. This is a really deep topic. Thank you all


  9. This has cleared up some underlining issues. Thank you

    Great insight on how thoughts uses memory for pleasure. How it uses knowledge and past experiences. I need to explore further into that. Also great insight on being the universe from @NoSelfSelf

    So every past has a beginning, implying we have a beginning. When we were born, we were even unaware of the world. We cannot remember anything. We were just doing our own thing, crying and shit... But how did we learn to become the I, and the center... That is very interesting... Well, the only time we even identify ourselves is when we started remembering stuff...

    Perhaps evolution? Who knows.

    Forgive me if I have understanding your questions clearly enough. 

    I will try and come on later sometime. 

     

    Take your time, I don't mind late replies. Any input is helpful. Thank you both @NoSelfSelf and @Faceless

    @B_Naz you are the univers to experience it you should give up all thoughts giving atention to sensations and remain in the space of yourself to "find" the space you need to get rid of ego/thoughts control neurosis etc you are watching automatically there is no active watcher just attention jumping around giving birth to experience

    I really do want to try this out, giving up no thoughts/sensations but it's so hard when I just want to question everything haha... My mind is constantly trying to understand stuff which is opposing non-duality. It's really hard to kill duality when sensations never really change. Our thoughts change but never our sensations. Well, that's what I think so. The fact that it doesn't change makes it significant because it's indicating that sensation isn't supposed to be ignored. 

    I guess you can say don't try to give up thoughts. Trying = thinking.

    Process of experience/thought/self

    A) Perception 

    C)sensation

     

    These two interest me the most. So sensation is part of this movement/motion of the thoughts and thus identity? I can see that...

    So what you're saying is htat sensation is therefore part of the experience. It is in motion...

    But here's where I get stuck. What if this isn't part of the experience, and that we're only using our ego/thoughts/self to attach to the sensations to create the experience?

    Don't we create the experience by thinking? Because we are allowing the motion to take place. But sensations seem to always be static. Always there, and that we apply meaning to those sensations. Aren't sensations, therefore, objective?
