    @Emerald Wilkins thanks.

    I do that aswell, I try to remind myself and ask "who is aware " who is percieving" etc 

    It gets to a point where I think I know in a intellectual level that there is no one percieving, no identity... 

    So when I ask myself those questions, silence follows as a form of answer so I was wondering, what separates that silence being the answer and actually having an insight, a realization, that which we call "becoming enlightened"?

    Any idea, thoughts about it?

     What we call identity, it´s just an activity of the mind. if there is no one having an experience, then what remains is the fact of just awareness being aware of itself.

    But I wonder. let´s say that a man who has lost his family, would thoughts, feelings and sensations related to sadness, lost etc arise in his mind.

    I´m really curious of how the activity in his mind would be... his day to day after his lost.

    These days I find quite difficult to work in self-development, to dive deep into it, to study, to do different techniques etc and at the same time realize that there is no one who is improving, that in fact that one who I believe I am is just an activity in the mind, it´s an illusion.

    Very paradoxical...

     

    Thanks @Khin @Natasha for your answers!

    How would an enlightened person deal with death? someone with a family, with kids etc

    How that process in the mind of an enlightened person would  be? the lost of the lovers one, people close to them. 

    Would they be able to be in the present moment from the moment they know their lovers ones are not longer with them? would they be able to carry on, keep doing all the things they were doing, with their business, their friendships etc. How would they deal with all the memories from the past etc

    How would they deal with all sort of emotions, feelings, sensations, thoughts, that would arise in their minds?

    Would they react as a not "enlightened person" when they realize that they wouldn´t be able to see them again, to touch them, to be with them etc

     

    Thanks for your time

    I was wondering this questions the other day and I thought of posting these questions and see what people would answer. 

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Why does awareness even exist? How does it exist?

    Infinite? ever presence? it had no beginning? How is that even possible? even knowing that time is a illusion, even if we think we know that awareness itself is not a "thing" how can it be ever presence...

    "You are that in which all this experience is happening"

    The universe itself resides in pure consciousness, awareness ( whichever term you want to give it). it is an ondulation of it. Nothing can pop out into existence because that would mean, that "thing,objetc etc" will cause consciousness itself to stop being infinite. as everthing resides in consciousness, from the atoms of "your" body to the universe itself.

    is the universe really a percepction, an ondulation of pure consciousness? how is that possible? the possibility of infinite universes wouldn´t be such a silly thing after all. A universe could "pop out into existence" literally every single second.

    is matter a perception aswell? all this universe is composed mostly of empty space.

    Because there is no perceiver, does that mean that we are in fact a perception? how crazy is to even grasp it in a intellectual way... How can all this be possible?

    How can our finite mind know all that. how is it possible that we have access to that information?

     

    looking forward to know what you have to say about all this :)
