It is not I who remembers the member name and password. Just as breathing happens, the heart beats, the liver and kidneys function, and the memory simply arises in awareness. The “I” that claims, “I remember,” is just a thought. Awareness notices, awareness holds, it is within awareness that the remembering happens in Now.

My brother, actually it has no name. Any name or explanation is not It.

All I can say is: it is that from which everything arises and into which everything falls.

Just simply be, and witness thoughts, feelings, and experiences as they arise from there. 

That's.

But this knowledge is still contingent on the dual nature of awareness manifesting as both subject and object.

This is obvious knowing, knowing itself of which cannot know anything to be existing outside of that arena.

Something knows breathing is happening, this is known, by that which can only know itself, you are that knowing, right?

It is actually the source from which both knowing and not-knowing arise. Just be aware of where all thoughts and experiences arise and fall. There is nothing there and therefore, it cannot be explained.

İt is actually itless, beyond any label, beyond any form, beyond even the idea of “it.” The moment we try to name or grasp it, we lose what it truly is.

You haven't caught on to the game yet?

They explain it and label it in thread after thread yet also claim any name or explanation is not it but if yours is different from them, you are told yours is wrong, theirs is the label 'absolute truth' and they explain how their thought beliefs are the right ones....while simultaneously saying any name or explanation is not it.

Rinse...repeat....but here's the real question, 'who' is rinsing and repeating?

It is the absolute Truth, because every belief, every experience, every thought arises and falls within İt, including both duality and non-duality.

Rising and repeating are just thoughts, they arise and fall within It.

If one believes in them or becomes attached, then a “who” appears that is the ego.

But if the word “who” itself arises and falls within It, and there is no attachment, then the “one” dissolves. That is the Truth.

The one asking. 
 

But many people simply deny what is obvious to them.

Thanks for explaining it cannot be explained.

Thoughts may well come and go, but imagine a reality without ever being aware of thought. That’s just not our experience.

Even during deep sleep we are aware of dreams. 

But many people simply deny what is obvious to them.

 

It’d be likened to “the unexamined life is not worth living” “ The only thing I know is I know nothing”

So what, there’s still a knowing. 

It’s okay to be lucid within our own dreaming. It’s okay to suffer, already knowing nothing was ever born or can die.

Be aware, that the dream is still real, it’s an undeniable experience. It’s realised instantly upon awakening from the dream that my character that I’d imagined to be real and separate was just an apparition. But so what, I am aware I am dreaming, and yes, these are simply empty words, appearing as a story appearing to awareness, and that’s pretty magical how empty words seem to animate a real live living movie show upon the screen of awareness, imagine, starring in your very own movie, being everything imaginable, the lights, the camera, the stage, the props, the actors, and the audience. It’s all you, irrefutably so.

I don’t agree we lose what it is, or fail to grasp it. We’re already it. It is more intimate than the skin on our body.

If it’s beyond form then it’s formless, so that’s irrelevant because only form is known. Why even attempt to know further than the known, as if knowing was unknowable, it’s even more ludicrous to imagine that unknowables exist beyond knowing. There’s simply knowing right here and now.

 

Words are simply the dream that we are intimately familiar with as the story is inseparable from the book. 
Once the book has been written it can be closed forever. It’s fully completed.

 

Open books are for seeking, but ultimately there’s nothing to find that’s not already here anyway.

When thoughts completely cease, not even realization happens, because no universe is here, or nothing has never happened. And that's the ultimate Truth or what some called God Head.

Yes, exactly, we are already it. However, ego is just veil, not even. 

Because, when witnessing of the thoughts, actually them essence is nothing. There is no thoughts there.

This is a pointless point. 
 

If thoughts can be witnessed, they are here to be witnessed. Nothing is still aware of thoughts as they appear, and thoughts that disappear always reappear because thoughts simply exist whether you like it or not.

 

Thoughts appear and nothing can stop thoughts from appearing because nothing is making them appear.

And the grass grows all by itself. Thoughts are not the enemy, they are the creation.

Thoughts are only for body and mind functioning, as heart functioning, heart needs a blood to function. Rest is belief (body is a belief too but I am not going to get in there).

That's it.

Body, mind and the rest is already thought included I am not going to get in there. Thought is already in there, here.
