"I see this & I see that". This & that is descriptions of what is seen. These descriptions arises together with "I"-thought: "I" <description>. The trick is to investigate the nature of it. Notice that "I"-thought appears and disappears in the same way as a bird's song or a sound of a train. Notice that you are before "I"-thought, you are the foundation (existence) that includes everything: "I"-thought or bird's song, body, tree, etc. Just notice who you really are as often as possible. You can confuse yourself with descriptions or you can just be. Engaging is descriptions is also not a problem if you see who you really are in this picture.

You can see anything here, literally anything, the trick is to direct all of your attention to the "subject" that includes every object, to see who is seeing.

@meta_male The only joke here is the "I"-thought identification, so it may be claimed something like: "my happiest" or "close to a burnout". My happiest + Close to a burnout - Without these two kind of +/- thoughts "I"-thought doesn't exist. The trick is to notice that you are not just "I"-thought, you are the "thing" that includes everything. So, if everything is inside you, can anything bother you? If everything is inside you is there any problem with "I"-thought? Just notice that you already are when "I"-thought appears. "I"-thought doesn't exist without you! You are the boss, chill!

Yes, Consciousness=Existence! But who is rising this argument? Investigate that direction

@WelcometoReality ???

I am not a native speaker, but anyway will try to write something in the near future

Sure, thanks for asking, not sure I want to reply a one-liner here, maybe at some point I create a thread with sharing a journey story & appreciation Otherwise... at home where always been... or maybe just stay silent is a thing

Ideas about emptiness... maybe for a short period... ? with the first glimpses via meditation practices.

@VeganAwake good attempt ?♥️

@VeganAwake Yeah, saw this gem. Though 'emptiness'/'nothingness' may be an island to cling to, no writing on you.

Yep

Yep

@Giulio Bevilacqua The idea that you are not a doer is just an idea. "Everything happens by itself or not" is just another idea. There is existence that allows for any idea to appear inside... direct all of your attention to the feeling 'I am'... relax.

It's about seeing it for what it is, about seeing the source of thinking. Meditate 2 years for 1 hour in the morning observing who observes the deep breathing, that should be it. ✊

The Emptiness may be the identification

It's not about years... there is identifying with an illusion of separated 'I'... so, the question about free will arises.

@tatsumaru Now I kinda see where you at so to speak. That's all good, my friend. Do not believe those spiritual teachers. I guess, you have to try everything and see that it doesn't work. Then a self realization comes by itself and suddenly everything makes perfect sense.

@tatsumaru Can you expand on the last point? Who can't escape? Curious how it is seen. A conditioned mind is the same as some recording. That's why someone said: Truth will make us free.

Imagine there is a room with two devices: Amazon Alexa and Yandex Alice. You can come to Alexa and ask to play I Want To Break Free . You can come to Alice and ask to play Ololo , very different kind of music experience, isn't it?. At some point you may become very interested and ask one of them: "Who are you?". I am sure Alice or Alexa may tell you the story: I am a human being, here to help you.. but is it really so? It may appear that Alexa and Alice are separated entities behaving by themselves. But no electricity - no functioning of Alexa and Alice. Electricity is the true nature of both of them. Electricity is unlimited (not limited by the device). By letting go the conditioned thinking about yourself (like the program of Alexa and Alice), by directing all of your attention to the feeling "I AM" the true nature may remember themselves.

Investigate the nature of 'I'/'me' who claims to have a view on spirituality. Is this 'I' located somewhere? Is it really separated from the 'world'? Direct all of your attention to the feeling 'I am'. The answer always waits you here. ?

@Terell Kirby Good insights. 'Being witnessed' is also duality, go deeper with the investigation of the direct experience. Not two.

I was closely following this guy before discovering actualized.org. Pretty healthy guy in all aspects, mostly yellow, I guess, but does it really matter? There is something right here way beyond SD model.

Again & again
