You are awareness, aware you are conscious of existing. Awareness is infinite, infinity now here. You cannot vanish. You are never not here to vanish from here.

So if there's no you, then why is there a body, who knows there is a body that exists? Does a body know it's a body, does a body know it exists as a body?

Who told you that? Did you read that from a book? Or, did your mother or father tell you that? The story of the 'vanishing you' is just another story. And the story is never separated from the book. I read books. Books are everywhere.

You is never lost. I've tried to lose myself once, I tried to disappear, but it was futile, as I just kept popping back aware.

You were the one that asked how you do you, not me.

There is only you because there is no other than you. This is not about Need, Needing, Needy.

Non duality is another form of duality.

That's where you error. You do not need to explain how anything. Everything is functioning perfectly on it's own. The heart never asks how it's beating.

That's obvious, you just hold it up in front of your face and wave it from side to side, that's how.

Leo is right, the nondualists have got it partially wrong.

Your theory is flawed. The hand cannot type words on a computer screen without some conscious participation. You are this conscious participation.

Then stop being a me that thinks it doesn't exist. Try not being.

Do you celebrate Christmas? Do you celebrate Your Birthday or your child's birthday, do you buy your child presents at Christmas and tell it you bought those presents to give to another? Or do you mourn the passing of your loved ones? If the answer is NO to all those questions, then you have stopped believing. And you are nothing more than the living dead, a walking corpse. And the body knows how to regulate it's temperature, there's a built in controller. Just so you know.

A belief disappears, then reappears, eternally as a self sustaining feedback loop. A belief is for eternal life, not just for Christ Mass.

If you cannot know the unknown, did the known ever happen? Is there anything that can be known to be unknown?

You fear the unknown, that's all.

Leo on knowing you have a dinosaur in your back yard, did you at that moment of knowing collide with the infinite?

LOL

Okay what I think is a human being is actually a fictional character I am dreaming into actuality. I don't actually know what I am except what I think I am, in other words, what I imagine I am, so I'm just playing the role of the character I am imagining to be. And that characters only real existence is in an image that I am looking at, I cannot see what is looking, only what is looked upon. But that's just an image of the imageless. I've dreamt the whole story of otherness, of every other character that appears to have a different body, because I can only see bodies, not the animation of those bodies. I had to become aware I was dreaming, to know I'd been dreaming, and not before. I had to wake up from the dream to realise I had only dreamt my entire reality. Or something like that.

What death though? You have never known death. Have you?

Is that like saying.. I am all the rotting corpse of God's body?

I don’t know, that’s the dilemma, I know the concept, but I don’t know what it is.

Does sense make reality? It’s hard to know anything from inside a brain. It’s hard to know anything from outside of a brain. inside, outside, where is that. 😵‍💫 That’s why animals are luckier than humans, because they don’t carry baggage around with them all day. Theres a place of perfect peace, but no human being seems to want to live there.

Yes you do, we are walking on their dust. But what if the asteroid hadn’t hit, humans would never have existed would they. Also, if extinction is a real event, then anything that walks the earth must also be subjected to an extinction event, eventually. This extinction thing has always confused me. I mean what is God until humans wrote about God using words that they invented? I cannot grasp this concept of God only showing up at the same time language speaking humans showed up. I’m still trying to understand what God is, because no person who talks about God hardly ever mentions the millions of years that dinosaurs dominated the earth, and pondering as to the whereabouts or the whatnots of what God was supposably doing during that period. I would appreciate some help with my confusion. Thanks.
