    The trickery of the mind is of no concern. My mind is silent and in bliss for the most part. I call upon it if i need to do something practical. I have gone past the "I-am" state. Alas this is how we communicate in English. 

    To tell someone they are THE SELF and not share about the trickery of mind...you do not see the danger in that? 

    And again, this is not directed at “you”, but “us”..(consciousness).

    @Faceless This is not an idea. This how IT is. I have adopted this language to communicate. Amongst the free there is no need for this communication. 

    To point to the trickery of the mind is essential. Then there is no need to communicate that which is inevitably going to become an idea for another. You see the point here?

    Imagine you have someone that trust you entirely, and that you know for sure he/she has the potential and the will to go through the path.

    In this case trust implies psychological dependence. Dependence, a path, perhaps the greatest hinderance to freedom.

    Also imagine that this person has no conceptual framework for it, that his/her mind is totally blank to spirituality.

     

    Such a person would not be dependent on you, or a path. 

    An actual blank mind is not dependent on anything within the realm of time(thought). 

    Hello by the way @Shin??

    Hahahahaha what you believe is your ego attach in to some ideas or concepts that you hold as truth to decieve yourself ???? 

    Can we watch our own divisive attack patterns in which we have rationalized-justified our own mechanical behavior? 

    Do we see the subtletie of fear seeking security in playing the opposition game?

     Are we aware of the fact of seeking psychological security when we criticize another? 

    And isn’t that another form of illusion? 

    Are we aware of the many subtle ways we derive pleasure in antagonism, which is another form of violence?

    I don't really understand the rest of your writing. 

    :)

    Usually people who are readers of traditional text don’t understand me. Usually people who directly look at themselves understand what I say. But there are exceptions of course. 

    Do you understand my intent in my original post to you? By the way not directed towards “you” but other me’s:)

    Simply to show how freedom is essential to see WHAT IS, WHAT-IS never comes about without that very necessary freedom.

    You = the Self

    Who sees this? 

    The chooser?

    It arises by its own out of the Self, that unknowable who is pure potential energy. It comes forth as dynamic creative energy, which is the one and the same as the Self.

    The question is...Has “the chooser” conformed to this piece of knowledge? 

    And is not this piece of knowledge and the chooser really one and the same movement of self/thought(time)?

    You have a free will and complete control over your life

    Is will free? 

    Is “the i” and this will one and the same movement of fear/psychological becoming?

    You have a choice

    Is choice freedom? 

    Freedom to choose may seem nice, but can we look deeper?

    It’s much more subtle than we tend to see.

    God created us as an autonomous beings as love only exists when there is a choice! 

    Or is it this will-choice(as the chooser), why love is not? 

    If one goes deep enough down to the subtleties one may find that FEAR underlies this choosing-will

    Wasn’t there a spiritual teacher who had to speak your egoic language to get you motivated to become enlightened?

    No...I saw the futility in evading the fact of fear, as it became quite apparent that doing so nourishes that fear. This illusion that I will become secure in time was seen through. Then it was not feed any longer. 

    I communed with suffering without escape. That simple. If I would have been the type to seek guidance from an authority I would perhaps still be caught in my own illusion. 

    Needing motivation, guidance, to me contribute to that very suffering. :)

    The bondage of the conditioned mind,is what keeps them longing for freedom.

    Indeed..

    The action taken in accordance to the notion that there is actually a division between the experiencer and that which it experiences.  

    Seeking psychological security(seeking to make permanent that which is fundamentally impermanent), brings about psychological insecurity, and nourishes the illusion of i, and therefore perpetuates further enslavement. 

    Thought sees the necessity of order, yet every action it takes nourishes disorder.

    @Faceless we meet people where they are. Not because it’s not an illusion, but because of love. You love the people, so you speak to them in their terms. But inside, there’s nothing that anyone can do to make you believe in it.

    Ok:)

    This compulsion to believe or not to believe...that’s what should be discussed.
