The brain itself is another thought. Back in the days in Rome, people believed that the heart is the source of thoughts. People thought that the organ, heart is what thoughts were coming from, and the brain was just some kind of pressure reliever/cooler of the heart. 

Similarly, I also have the belief that thoughts are coming from the 'brain' .. What is the 'brain' in direct experience? A thought.

If a person who was blind his whole life asks you "What does a cloud look like?"

How would you answer this?

"all thoughts are the same: they are temporary appearances that come and go like clouds in the sky"

All my past assumptions, concepts, ideas about what enlightenment is and how it ought to be like are all wrong. 

Now that I have a more accurate concept/idea of what enlightenment is -- -- (jk)

How would saying "I'm not the brain" be any more different than saying "I am the brain"??

Nothing changes.

Confused. Feeling lost. Doubts.

Enlightened or not Enlightened, nothing changes. 

Thoughts will be thoughts. Feelings will be feelings.

That's what I thought at first. I thought I was becoming enlightened and no self and shit. 

Those experiences will come, will go. Sometimes it can even be depressing. Still experiences are experiences. Let them move. 

My mistake was that I kept chasing them, thinking "This is what Enlightenment is! I got to keep myself in this state" 

Your experiences, whether bliss or unbliss, does not get you closer or further from awakening.

Non-Duality suggests that ownership is a story/thought. We tend to say "My body" instead of saying "Body" (body is another thought) We say "My thoughts" instead of "Thoughts" Instead of "Feelings of Bliss" we say "My feelings of bliss" Instead of "Feelings of suffering" we tend to say "My feelings of suffering"

Is there a doer in the doing? Is there a thinker in thinking?

I don't really quite get it. I'm not even sure if I'm in the right track and all. Concepts about enlightenment use to fascinate me, and I kind of like to discuss it with other people in the forum. Now, it seems that every thread that are posted are almost null and irrelevent to Non-duality work. I don't know if I changed or the forum did. I think the forum did. There's just new people, I guess. But something also in me changed. I could see my ego. I also learned that concepts does not get you to awaken, it helps though. 

Most of the threads on Non-duality are becoming more futile and unuseful for me. People be only posting irrelevent stuffs such as their concepts, and wants to hear other peoples' concepts.

Unconditional Love:

When you realize there is no one doing the loving. No one trying to love. Yet there is just loving.. Loving that which cannot love or does not know how to love.

I wonder what would that be like

Words are too subjective. The same word might mean something different to you than the other person.

Conceptualization is a very common trap I see in myself and others.

We should stop trying to find Truth or what is true. They only lead to more concepts traps. Instead focus on looking through what is not true.

I'd love to conceptualize, philosophize, theorize these with you. But I'd rather say you would likely be better off if you just sit the fuck down and face direct experience itself. Rather than getting drowned in thoughts about it.
