@non_nothing We could not see what the self is and the voices are as long as we never left it.

@Roman Edouard Meaning is a paradigm suspended only by the conceptual support it's given.

@Roman Edouard When winter comes wood is chopped. Threat? No threat. Just the chopping of wood.

@Roman Edouard The answer I gave came from a squirrel and a change in seasons. Do they need a meaning to exist?

@Roman Edouard When the squirrel gathers nuts winter follows. -Just sitting here contemplating

@Strikr Because there is something there that is beyond meaning.

@Roman Edouard Can you see the paradox here between reality and the mind that relentlessly demands answers for it's own satisfaction? Existance has no questions or reasons why. But yet it exists just fine without.

@Pilgrim Nice one!

It's all a dream we dreamed one afternoon.

@Roman Edouard I felt the same way at your age.

@Ampresus Here's something to meditate on. Your heart space. Where exceptance, love and compassion well up from.

@Ampresus So you resort to physical punishment. You gotta back yourself out of that dead end. Don't know how you got in there but that doesn't matter from here on out.

@Ampresus What do you practice?

@Ampresus Stop meditating till you figure out exactly what the root cause of the self destructive behavior is.

@Serotoninluv I'm heading out to the woods now to do exactly that. Allowing the "God consciousness" to emerge. No inside-no outside.

@Ampresus Yes. Do it long enough in deep silence and the perciever will fall away.

@Serotoninluv If humans could exist as one conscious entity the Earth would be a utopia.

@Jack River How could you explain it when there is nothing there. Nothing explainable that is.

@Jack River What were you before this consciousness came upon you? -Nisargadatta

@Gligorije Quote: ‘Why does subjective experience exist?’ is actually an impossible question when viewed from the outside in. We are actually smuggling a ‘view from nowhere’ which uses the senses of our body’s skin and retina but projects them onto an arbitrary point in space. The view from nowhere may be telescopic or microscopic, infrared or X-Ray, but when we use this mode of imagination or optics, we are dramatically limiting our awareness to only the most ‘outward’, exterior-facing modes of sensitivity. This is of course a very powerful way to look at things when you want to use your body to predict and control other objects in the world of the body, however it is becoming more evident to many people that focusing exclusively on that world, and extrapolating a world view from it, actually blinds us from the true nature of ‘existence’.

@Gligorije Subjectivity is an experience based on past memory and pov= duality. The experiences may all differ but it's all happening within the same one consciousness. Subjective experiance/duality is the illusion.

@Igor82 Physical depth? It's not illusion relative to the body/spatial location.

@Gligorije What is consciousness prior to the word consciousness?
