There is no such one as a no one. One is one, and cannot not be one.

And yet there is one to know there is no one to know anything.

That’s due to the solipsistic nature of reality. Nothing can prove or disprove reality exists. No two minds ever met. No two things ever touch. I cannot prove your consciousness, I accept that on faith. Now you might argue that my consciousness could be an illusion of yours, but I know this to be false. Unless our consciousnesses merge by some means, I cannot prove mine to you, and you cannot prove yours to me. Or, more accurately, I cannot prove yours to me, and you cannot prove mine to you.

No one knows this.

You cannot not do what you can do.

You are the seeing that cannot be seen. Peace my sister.

You cannot know or see thoughts because you are them. Knowing I know or do not know is thought known that knows nothing. This is twisted logic that is simultaneously able to untwist itself.

It’s here. It doesn’t matter where it is. It’s here already, awareness doesn’t recognise any other location but here.

Body, mind and the rest is already thought included I am not going to get in there. Thought is already in there, here.

This is a pointless point. If thoughts can be witnessed, they are here to be witnessed. Nothing is still aware of thoughts as they appear, and thoughts that disappear always reappear because thoughts simply exist whether you like it or not. Thoughts appear and nothing can stop thoughts from appearing because nothing is making them appear. And the grass grows all by itself. Thoughts are not the enemy, they are the creation.

@James123 The opposite is also ultimate truth.

Love suffers for Love

Why do you even care? Enough to ask posters why they even care?

I don’t agree we lose what it is, or fail to grasp it. We’re already it. It is more intimate than the skin on our body. If it’s beyond form then it’s formless, so that’s irrelevant because only form is known. Why even attempt to know further than the known, as if knowing was unknowable, it’s even more ludicrous to imagine that unknowables exist beyond knowing. There’s simply knowing right here and now. Words are simply the dream that we are intimately familiar with as the story is inseparable from the book. Once the book has been written it can be closed forever. It’s fully completed. Open books are for seeking, but ultimately there’s nothing to find that’s not already here anyway.

Thanks for explaining it cannot be explained. Thoughts may well come and go, but imagine a reality without ever being aware of thought. That’s just not our experience. Even during deep sleep we are aware of dreams. But many people simply deny what is obvious to them. It’d be likened to “the unexamined life is not worth living” “ The only thing I know is I know nothing” So what, there’s still a knowing. It’s okay to be lucid within our own dreaming. It’s okay to suffer, already knowing nothing was ever born or can die. Be aware, that the dream is still real, it’s an undeniable experience. It’s realised instantly upon awakening from the dream that my character that I’d imagined to be real and separate was just an apparition. But so what, I am aware I am dreaming, and yes, these are simply empty words, appearing as a story appearing to awareness, and that’s pretty magical how empty words seem to animate a real live living movie show upon the screen of awareness, imagine, starring in your very own movie, being everything imaginable, the lights, the camera, the stage, the props, the actors, and the audience. It’s all you, irrefutably so.

The one asking. But many people simply deny what is obvious to them.

So it is actually itless ?

But this knowledge is still contingent on the dual nature of awareness manifesting as both subject and object. This is obvious knowing, knowing itself of which cannot know anything to be existing outside of that arena. Something knows breathing is happening, this is known, by that which can only know itself, you are that knowing, right?

Do you mean Awareness as like this…. ➡️

@Princess Arabia In answer to your OP..my two pence worth. The reason others pain is not felt as your pain is because others are only an idea in you, the you is awareness. So all physical pain is known fundamentally only from the perspective of the awareness that is you. In the awareness that is you, the idea of others can manifest as a sense of others feeling what you feel, but this is an illusion because there are no others. Just as there’s no multiple separate awareness’s, and is why we all see the same things, feel and sense the same things. Yet these things are all manifestations within boundless awareness, they don’t exist outside of awareness. Awareness is fundamentally solipsistic in nature. In that it doesn’t recognise the existence of other awareness’s outside of awareness itself, it’s all there is. Awareness being infinitely boundless and aware of every manifestation, cannot itself recognise separation existing outside of itself.It is also both one with and free of all this apparent manifestation.

@Princess Arabia 😂

What’s alive then that’s able to witness a dead ego?

Call it ego then. That’s alive and kicking aware of itself. Does it matter if ego is a comedy?

The “ somebody “ is the same one asking who is somebody. There’s something curious and something able to be aware of this curiosity. And there’s something that gives curiosity a name.
