@levani Letting go is effortless. If you were watching a movie, and there was a person and a car in the move, it would seem that there are two; person & car. But for you, sitting on the couch watching the movie, it is obvious there is not two (person & car), there is one, (the movie). Then imagine you’re formless and can appear as reality (the movie). Then notice you are imagination, which is formless, which is reality. Try to find ‘you’ in the movie, and you only find movie, movie, movie. You are that which is aware of, the movie...and that which is appearing as, the movie. You’re the screen, which characters ‘in the movie’ can never see, because there aren’t any characters, that’s the movie the screen is appearing to be. If it is found to be challenging, the ‘notice you are imagination’...notice indirectly. Whenever a ‘me’ seems to be, it can be noticed it is being imagined. Try to point to you. If you’re pointing to a body, notice you’re imagining you are the body.

@levani The subtle implication of the op is that there is a you, which can be or stay in / leave or not be in, a now. This is a subject-object thought. Me, and the now. Or, awareness, and the now. Without the thought, there is / was already, not-two. I (subject) don’t get it (object). That there is an I, and that there is an it, is an assumption, from believing the thought. I (subject) staying in the present moment (object). I (subject) brings back awareness (object). ‘Bring awareness back’ is a thought. Letting the thought go, it becomes, or already is, obvious awareness is aware of the thought. Are you aware? Are you aware that you are aware? Now, try to think awareness. Notice ‘you’ is a thought, that you(awareness), are aware, of.

@Conscious life Your question presupposes there is an ego which unifies with God, which is a false supposition. This is why there is the ‘blank’ of the mind, if you will, when attempting to imagine growth beyond the missed assumption. A ‘blank’ similar to thinking awareness.

The attribution of easy come easy go, itself, comes & goes, effortlessly. .

There is the thought that there is that perspective, from the standpoint or point of view of evolution and such that ‘it’ is headed towards. But there is only the thought. There is no actuality of that perspective. It doesn’t actually occur. The meaning of up is not down, and of down is not up. What is the meaning of evolution?

Awareness is a thought. Now is a thought. Awareness is not a thought. Now is not a thought.

I as God knows full well there is not a duality of self & other, and that what is not can not be destroyed. Likewise, God’s fully aware there’s no form.

@Swarnim Sense of self, is the circular thinking, the ‘hijack’ via thought attachment.

@Swarnim That people reach enlightenment is a misnomer of circular thinking. The word enlightenment points to the nonexistence of individual people and things or states they therefore reach. If you can imagine the thought process per se, the activity of the mind while writing the question, were made of sand, and someone just blew it away mid-activity...there would not be a enlightened person nor an un-enlightened person remaining. With the thoughts, or activity of the mind blown away, there would be nothing.

@Cosmin_Visan Can you recognize how the duality ( me & x ) in thinking is circular?

@Dodo I was referencing your post, not telepathy.

Both accounts...not me & you, not ego & consciousness.

@Dodo A thought which resonates, then four which don’t, is like one step forward & four steps back.

Yes. On both accounts.

I got “Voldemort”.

@zeroISinfinity That’s trolling, you devil. You gotta beat around the bush and end up at serious. Can’t straight shot it.

Human being. Categorization is a step away.

@Breakingthewall There are no states. The consciousness is ‘the person’. @zeroISinfinity @electroBeam Hilarious.

@electroBeam Ok, this could go on forever.

@electroBeam If there are people, that is not it. ? ?

@Dodo Create a dreamboard. Write what you really want, then let it go. Let there be no doubt. (I’m not ‘against’ trust or anything.)

@Endangered-EGO Point up, then let the finger naturally relax. It’s like that.

@Endangered-EGO Just as you’re really deeply discovering, the mind is infinitely sneaky....can’t even claim ‘it’ is not nothing or absolute. Maybe it is. Yes, catch it at the seed, or ‘at the root’, at supposition. Notice the activity of the mind as it arises, which is really to say the one thought arising now, and ‘bring it to a rest’. That takes some experience but it’ll ‘click’. As an analogy of sorts, point your finger up, and feel the release / relaxation of ‘letting go’, such that the finger simply goes from the tensing of the muscles involved in pointing up...so relaxed, or ‘sagging’ down. Feel the subtle relief of the letting go of the finger tension. Feel that subtle relief in noticing the thought arising, and letting the mind relax, or ‘sag’, instead.

@Endangered-EGO Super awesome to hear. Sounds like a great breakthrough. On a cautionary note, if there is the question ‘if it’s it’, and or the proclamation that ‘this, or it, is it’, it is not it. That is a substantial recognition however, which I hope you’re feeling wonderful about. Look for the seeds of what used to be self referential thought stories, ‘catch em’ at the seed, and bring it to a rest before the seed is a tree.

An orgasm is a great ‘blissful’ experience. Imagine what the whole of experience must be ‘made of’, such that experience is the apparent limitation of ‘that’. Can’t get ‘there’, but letting limitations go, you already are what ‘there’ is.
