When you don't react or even respond to the 'outside' reality events, but just observe them, the whole Universe stops. The Observer doesn't react. He illuminates.

Being empty of fullness and simultaneously full of emptiness.

You already belong to what it is you think you want to belong to. "To be human is to belong. Belonging is a circle that embraces everything; if we reject it, we damage our nature." "The hunger to belong is always active and intense because you belonged so totally before you came here."

Becoming more Sane can be very isolating. Isolating can be a kind of Superpower. It's super intelligent. The entire cosmos, or whatever you want to call life, is totally alone, absolutely. Personally, I'd rather be alone in my own aloneness, than be alone in the company of some one else's aloneness.

I didn’t say you did say that. My only game is not to discriminate, because that’s just more reinforcing of the dream. Awakening, is part of the dream story, where there’s an apparent character that wakes up from the dream of separation by identifying that all objects of experience are entirely made from an empty knowing self, it knows that because there is no other frame of reference from which to infer that knowing knowledge from. It’s kind of like an automatic self-sustaining self-referential thought looping mechanism at work here, which is all the same not-knowing knowing , identifying with itself, only. In other words, it’s not a person who awakens, as a person is identified as an object of experience made entirely from emptying knowing, meaning Awakening is another myth that belongs to the dream. Oh never mind.

My feeling is that no one can actually know for certain. I personally for example cannot know another consciousness with the same certainty that I know my own. I can only infer the existence of another consciousness through behavioural observation, and shared circumstantial evidence. The answer to the question of who awakens more would be speculative and blurry at best due to the “problem of other minds” whereby it would only be an assumption that others have awoken, as you can only know for absolute certainty your own awakening.

@Dodo okay thanks. An Awakening is the identification with an object of experience. Agreed. 👍

Consciousness cannot be defined as a word because a word is an auditory illusion of sound and light. There is no consciousness that is brighter or dimmer than another consciousness, similarly, there is no consciousness that is louder or quieter than another consciousness. Consciousness is only ever conscious of consciousness, and never conscious of other consciousnesses. Consciousness doesn't have other consciousnesses as if there was another consciousness existing inside or outside of it. And even if there was another consciousness existing outside or inside of consciousness, the infinite gulf between them both would be impossible to be crossed or closed, simply because a so called boundary of consciousness would be impossible to be detected.

If you are knowing. Why then would you seek knowledge from other sources by asking questions about the knowing that you already are?

The Sun and the Cave One day the sun and a cave struck up a conversation. The sun had trouble understanding what “dark” and “dank” meant and the cave didn’t quite get the hang of “light and clear” so they decided to change places. The cave went up to the sun and said, “Ah, I see, this is beyond wonderful. Now come down and see where I have been living.” The sun went down to the cave and said, “Gee, I don’t see any difference.”

No fear during surrender. Just this pure light love taking over what always is.

Enduring the naked raw groundlessness of being effortlessly. A burden beared without justification.

@James123 🙂

This is confusing. Can you clarify what you mean by dangerous? Confusing because on the one hand Advaita or Neo-repackaged Advaita is stating there is ''no you stuff''. And yet, solipsism is saying there is a you, and the idea that there are other you's is just YOU imagining those other you's. So it's confusing because according to solipsistic knowledge, there is only you, and all other you's are just (P Zombies) that have no consciousness or mind of their own. Which idea out of those two ideas is dangerous, and why?

Consciousness is mind. Mind is conceptual knowing. Conceptual knowing is illusory. The IS NO ... IS identical to there IS Nothing is everything, and everything is nothing, it's all brain state determinism that was determined to be.

It's a synthetic consciousness. It's a known concept that cannot be known, even to itself.

It alters unknowing to knowing, that's all.

Yes, there’s a physical universe. AI is a construction too, made from the same illusory knowledge the human mind is made of. So I agree, not needed, but handy for when the human mind is too lazy to repeat itself, whereby it depends on a machine to do its repeating for it.

There’s no claimer, no we, no wrong or right. Except in this conception, the illusory appearance of mirages believed to be real. A real reality that the mind cannot transcend from. Beyond that fixed ridged mind, lay perfect unborn unconscious freedom, a boundless peace, unlimited and unrestricted.

Okay, but I do my best. I’ll endeavour to try harder to give you the answers you prefer to hear. Keep letting me know I don’t know how to answer your basic questions, and I’ll do my best to auto correct them so you can understand them too.

There’s no “ Your” thoughts. Theres thoughts that are a physical process, the chemistry and physics of life are functioning always on an unconscious level of awareness.

And this is why you suffer, because you think it’s your suffering, when it’s not your suffering, at all. And just as suffering and pain, or pleasure arise and falls away , so too does the thought of ownership of those experiences.

Agreed.👍 How absolutely boundless and free and unlimited is that not you. . ❤️💯 So awesomely beautiful.

This is your belief or knowledge so to speak. Which of course is your prerogative to hold to. I have absolutely no argument with your truth because it’s your own truth which is unique to you personally. However, what is your belief or truth there, is not mine here. My truth here, is that the entire cosmos is unconscious unborn. And that it’s only the mind that is born, which is illusory.
