Likened to a dream. Likened.

That which sees has never been seen, or known. The ‘you’s’ reality, exists only within the seen identified images of the imageless.

This is still reinforcing more of the conceptual dream. That which appears to be limited, was,is, never limited. That which appears to awaken, never awoke.

Daffy Duck.

Yes, even himself, Amazing looker looking only at himself. 😂

Always here, relative to the observer. Where the brightest stars are formed in the presence of darkness. Now you see me, now you don't. Not hiding, always here, ever present.

Reality shimmers beyond a single gaze,
its threads too vast for one mind to trace.
We reach, we grasp, yet the whole slips away,
like stars dissolving at the break of day. We are not meant to master the infinite,
but to dwell within its gentle pulse.
Fragments of truth arrive like whispers,
small sparks guiding us through the dark. To be is enough, to breathe is enough,
to let the river carry us without resistance.
Though effort clings, though striving calls,
the art lies in surrender, in presence, in flow.

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.
