nope but i feel like my heart has opened up, where ever it is. whenever i go to the feeling of i, my being, love instantly comes up, i mean i call it love, but its obviously not

the heart is not located where the "heart" beats! the heart is your very being! we think there is someone who is experiencing love coming from the heart but the love is itself being

yes until there is no distinctions possible

The separation of self comes into effect when there are boundaries created between the existence of things by this i mean that the world of "something" causes you to create distinctions in your being this is what it means by creating a finite self lets use an example it always starts off with "i am" the true self is like a shapeshifter if it has the thought that it is a body, the "i" becomes a body if it has the thought it is a human being , the "i" becomes a human being if it has the thought it is a human being with a car , the "i" becomes a human being with a car if it has the thought that it is awareness , the "i" becomes awareness if it has the thought that it is the witness of thoughts , the "i" becomes a witness of thoughts if it has the thought that it is sad , the "i" becomes sad if it has the thought that it is a human with a past , the "i" becomes a human with a past what can we infer from this ? it 's a cliche term, "what you think you are is not that" if it is anything in the something of reality it will AUTOMATICALLY create a boundary if you think you are standing 3m away from a brick wall with a picture of a goat on it ... the "i" becomes the distance of 3m away to a brick wall however, when everything is eliminated from something what is left? infinity , space, the lack of identification to being human, the lack of identification to anything in something-ness

@clouffy animals still have seperate selves so they're not enlightened however, to even state there is a concept of enlightenment is not true and therefore there is no enlightenment to which an animal could reach vice versa its kinda the same as saying everything is already enlightened :') mindfuck levells 10/10

@ajasatya i'm a little hasty about using the word GOD i prefer not to name it in a way, but yes i would call this gods soul in a way on second thought it feels wrong to call it anything other than it is GOD

@Serotoninluv another identification to the feeling of i hmmmmm , the feeling of I is only words i have spoken the feeling of I in my direct experience is experiencing no attachment to anything as of currently it is just being itself it also does not recognise what you mean by ego anymore

your ego is a concept used to help you find what you truly are with clarity at this point you will realise your ego was never a seperate thing from yourself and that the ego was itself you the whole time so don't take the concept of ego so seriously that it gets you down about having one just use it as a light pointer to understand that it simply means "the thing i am identifying with" and nothing more when you are demonizing the ego and saying it is the worst thing in the world and i want to get rid of it completely just remember that this itself is another thought and that what you really want is more deeper understanding of what the ego actually is the ego is not the enemy, the thought of the ego being the enemy is the enemy having said this i understand how you feel, i wanted to get rid of mines so badly i would do anything, ANYTHING so in a way i used this hatred i had for my ego as fuel to find the true real self even more

There is no winterknight :') Dude i hope you get enlightened too! have you found the feeling of I?

@winterknight Thanks the doubt suddenly dissolved, it's not bothered anymore for now, thanks for your help

it doesn't matter what thought is thought, what things are seen, what questions are asked, what mind activity is used, it all leads back to that feeling of I That feeling of I is the same in everyone and everything.

I ask because i have a psychological need to seek confirmation biased, i am entirely sure that it is "I" i just need you to say it is the I, this feeling of I i'm 100% sure it is the true self because it can not be anything else But my mind is in the way, it is still this feeling of I which is asking the question, because my mind is telling me that i am always deluding myself to no extent but my being is not my being is telling me this is I so as an enlightened person which now sounds ridiculous lol, it actually makes no sense if this feeling of I is the true self

@winterknight Sorry i added it in the end Is this where your self inquiry ended

FEEL that I... hold that I, grasp that I, pursue that I, chase that I. That I is what i'm talking about okay now were moving forward, sorry about this THAT IIIIII THAT FEELING OF IIIII (that feeling of I is the best way to describe it) THAT I THAT IS the ONLY thing that I is. It couldn't be anything else because its the only thing that you can ever know. that is the furtherest my self inquiry has gone AND it is the truth! my whole being is telling me it! IS THIS WHAT IS THE TRUE SELF

but i'm not talking about an individual ego "i" that is "i- thought" i'm talking about the fact everything exists itself the present moment itself exist existence itself My exsistence itself the statement: THE FACT I EXISTS I IS

Fine , but there is one who exists no? that one thinks it is "i", so is it impossible to assign "i" to that one who exists

i see , i agree then only thing that i could do was remain silent as if it just is.

1) do enlightened people hold absolutes as "beliefs" in their mind Absolute goodness, perfection, intelligence etc.. 2) do enlightened people not identify with their thoughts or is it the fact that there is no such thing as thoughts in the first place, its like it doesn't exist This is all i can think of at the moment, ill add as i go along.

I thought is "i" and the I who exists and exists alone "I" the "I" is the ONLY thing that exists the very fact I exist is existence itself "I" is the one who is asking the question

my mind is skeptical, my being is telling me that this is "i" if i am not this then i am nothing, i don't exist

I exist itself existence itself exists is this who i am

My experience has led me to the fact i exist as my "i", my beliefs have left my system, my mind is off I alone exist ,that is the only thing i know entirely because non existance doesn't exist. its existence itself is this the "i"

@Leo Gura so would an absolute be held simply as T ruth not truth so because a belief is relative , that's its classification for belief so lets say hypothetically, i have no beliefs, but i only hold ABSOLUTE TRUTHs this is not considered a person with beliefs

reality is like a blank canvas where everything you know is a belief that belief literally becomes the picture you paint on reality "roses re red, violets are blue terrorist are bad and so is fat food too i am a terrible person i am very kind although it may seem like a harmless poem, if this is what you believe it will become your reality the case is true with traumas and psychological and social dynamics i.e survival and success your beliefs stack ontop of each other, i am human therefore i have two eyes and think with my mind which is inside my brain your beliefs challenge others beliefs, that's their tendencies because each sets of value are true to each other Which means all perspectives are true in the context they are arranged in and at the same time , all partial ones are false except the absolute but here's the thing about the absolute you can only attempt to put it into words, although the theory may hold true in the truest of sense, it cannot begin to describe the one truth and therefore is a belief, even claiming that it is god, is a belief because god itself is a belief , its only a description the better position to stay in, is a position of not knowing anything, but seriously lol, how can one live a life like that, what does it even mean to live a life of not knowing lol

@Serotoninluv i mean like the i-ness to it will go, so it won't be your subjective experience anyway lol, itll just be experience period, so what did you do at this point i'm feeling like just picking the best beliefs out there and chopping and changing once in a while
