Everything is Groundless

[SQAAD]

Let's imagine a specific scenario.

Yesterday you went out for a walk in the woods and you saw a bunch of people walking with their dogs and also you had a conversation with Stacey.

Next day you wake up and start thinking about your conversation with Stacey.

Then you ask yourself: "But how do I actually know that this thing actually happened?"

What if you are deluding yourself. What if your mind is making it all up and it never actually happened.

The only genuine answer you can come up with is: "I just know it happened. End of story."

You could call Stacey and ask her if you really had a conversation with her yesterday, but how do you know that you can trust what she is telling you?

There is no proof. There is no process. There are no steps to arrive at this conclusion. It's too direct.

That's why I find it funny when normies make fun of spiritual experiences and God realizations.

They ask for proof, even though their life doesn't run on proofs.

Reality is too direct for it to have a proof.

You can always question everything if you want.

A God Realization is as real and true as you believing you really talked to Stacey, even though you can't prove it.

Scientists are assuming many things they don't know nothing about.

The only thing that is not an assumption is my direct experience.

I can always question everything else if I want.

This is the reason people with OCD go to such extreme lengths. Their mind realizes that everything is groundless but yet they still try to find a ground.

Hm. This is kind of cool.

Good for you.

Except that there is a ground. If you stop thinking about it and just be it.

Thanks. I mentioned though that "the only ground is my direct experience".

Yes, but direct experience isn't exactly ground.

Why not? It's the Only thing that exists right now.

You're imagining a scenario so you already know it's not real.

You know it didn't happen. You imagined it right?

You have to live in reality.

You can only believe if something has happened.

If there is no Stacey, who are you calling?

How it can be direct if there's no proof?

They never do it. It's scientists who do that.

This is what scientists do.

Anything direct has to have a proof.

You don't have to prove something you realized.

Obvious.

It's common human tendency to rationalize abstract experiences.

You don't get it. Assume that you Really had a conversation with Stacey yesterday. Let's pretend it Really Happened. After 1 day you wake up in the morning.

How can you actually know for sure that you really had a conversation with Stacey yesterday?

You cannot prove it. How can you prove that your memories are real and not false? Lol

Even if you are a scientist, you believe in your memories that you actually did study science. None of it can be proven.

Direct experience needs no proof fot it to exist.

There is no direct experience. That's an idea.

You aren't getting my point. If you assume something, aren't you already aware that's it's not real? You have the proof that it's not real. What's there to prove about something that never happened?

Lol. Then how i am reading your comment, if there is no direct experience? 

How can there be even an idea without the experiencing of it?

@Deziree If you want to play that stupid game you can do it all day long.

Ideas can be made up in mind. Direct experiences cannot.

That's why it's called an illusion.

There is only infinite consciousness. Anything else is groundless. Direct experience included.

This makes no sense.

Everything i experience right now (feelings, thoughts, sounds) is Direct Experience.

You could give it any name you want.

It may be an illusion. It may be not. But it definitely Is. It exists.

Existance is the base.

@SQAAD Direct experience = one single thought, one single feeling and the 5 human senses. Nothing more, nothing lese.

And all of that is illusion/delusion.

There is only infinite consciousness.

[Dodo]

@SQAAD complicated. The ground of all experience is Being

Conscious-ness is only a thought in your head bro, it's only a concept, there is only Phil's infinite neo advaita wisdom which is the very fabric of this existence and to which we should all bow down to, there is no "you" to perceive the genius of this post

Now that's just stupid.

Consciousness is precisely the opposite of a thought. And a head is just a thought too. As is Phil and neo advaita.
