@Nahm Oh, okay that makes much more sense. Thanks

@Emerald But isn't physical computer allows internet to exist, or should we think them as completely different things? I didn't really understand this analogy. Btw I am subscribed to your channel for a long time. Infact this morning I watched your video called "How to Ground Yourself in Your Subjective Experience" exactly because of this topic and all these fancy mental masturbation I do(as I am very good at that) I Absolutely love your content. You talk a lot about the egoic pitfalls of the path and I feel like this is something we need so much in the spritual community and they've helped me a lot personally. Btw I would be friends with the goth Emerald, just so you know And again if we return to the question, I've started to think of it this way, idk if that's accurate or not: What does even "my brain" mean? I don't have a direct experience of "my brain". I mean I do but just as words not as context. The only think I have is experience. Doesn't matter if it is a "scientific fact" or a dog shit on the road. So what I think of consciousness is a field that these experiences are occuring in. Funnily enough, all the, what we call right or wrong, ideas about consciousness are also occuring in the consciousness without being judged. I know it is not something to be discussed but to be experienced (I don't even know that's the right word) but I would like to hear your opinion. Do you think this is intellectually accurate enough? (ultimately to fulfill my egoic desires to understand)

@Arkandeus Oh, that seems like a great practise. I was doing it in daily life here and there especially when I first started doing the self inquiry (like who is looking at the people walking down the street) but now I am going to make this a homework assignment for myself. And also as I am progressing in this work, my resistance increased massively for question my beliefs about the world. For example at first it was easy to do my mindfulness practise for my thoughts because these thoughts were not so much related to my "self" but now I am facing this self righteous thougts like "Oooh, look at all the people who are unconscious, how can you even think there is a "self", people are idiots" so as Leo talked about I think I am going through a purification process. I am seeing the dark side of myself and I have a resistance to put the label of "oh, that's just a thought" Actually this consciousness topic came from me facing myself because I was learning these cool ideas about consciousness but then I had to accept and say to myself "Wait a second, I actually don't know what the fuck is even consciousness means, I mean what is it actually, can I even "know" it?" So as you said questioning or labeling a thought (which is just a voice in the head) without getting lost in the context and not knowing is a very powerful state and I am going to practise this not knowing more. Tbh right now I have no idea what the fuck consciousness is and if it is on the brain or somewhere else and that's okay. I am going to sit with it.

@Telepresent I will definitely check them out. Thanks so much. Peace

@Arkandeus I meant that I don't feel the sensations that person is feeling, but now I have realised as I started writing this, What is even "I don't feel the sensations that person is feeling" mean. That IS my sensation(as a thought). I actually have no idea what that other person is feeling, I am just assuming. Hell, I don't even know that person is living in the same reality as me, I have 0 proof. I understand a little bit more now. Problem is as you said we have beliefs that ultimately has no ground. Experience itself is what is real. Our ideas about experience cannot be the truth because it is still an experience which appers as a voice in the head. So I am just going to keep practising and see if a get any of the insights that you had. (But these insights itself are not gonna be the truth again, they are gonna be just words) I guess consciousness cannot be communicated or intellectualized which is sad to me because I love discussing abstract concepts. I guess I need to shut up and do my meditation. Btw can you recommend few practises for me to grasp consciousness. Thank you very much.

Basically all Epica's albums are directly about enlightenment here's a couple songs:

Hey guys, I've been practicing mindfulness meditation for 6 months and it has been so amazing. I've even had glimpses of the Truth here and there. But recently I wanted to try this do nothing meditation because I have this intuition that this is going to be more effective for realising the Truth. The problem is when I let go of control, my mind authomatically starts doing the mindfulness technique. It starts to use see, hear and feel labels so my do nothing meditation turns into a mindfulness meditation and it is frustrating considering that Leo said it's the easiest but it fucks me up. I mean sould I just let that be? and if I let that be, how it is do nothing and not a mindfulness meditation?

@Naviy @RossE Wow this was very helpful. Thanks so much. Gotta love Shinzen. Have a nice day

@Max_V @Torkys I get what you are saying guys I guess I was trying to "do" the do nothing meditation which can't be done. I have to let go of control complately. Infact now I have to do it more because this made me realized that I have such a neurotic mind even when it comes to the meditation. I have to learn how to surrender. I get it now, thanks guys.
