Try to locate the mind in reality. Edited June 17, 2018 by Joseph Maynor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Then why do we proceed in moving dualistically and act according to that divisive movement of self/conditioned mind/thought. Why all this cultivation of mind/thought/time if we see it doesn’t exist? Edited June 17, 2018 by Faceless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why all this cultivation of mind/thought/time if we see it doesn’t exist? Why assume the ‘mind’ is necessarily joined at the hip with thoughts? The mind is a thought-story. Don’t confuse thoughts with necessarily being in a mind. That’s a container metaphor, which is itself a thought-story. Thoughts are independent of mind. When I do Do Nothing Meditation, I sense thoughts but no mind. See? Mind is a cultural construct, where thoughts as thoughts are not. Thought-stories are cultural constructs, whereas the thoughts themselves are not. Edited June 17, 2018 by Joseph Maynor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 17, 2018 @Mikael89 For you and people who have done some self inquiry but as far as i know most people believe thoughts appear IN the mind, thats factually incorrect. Dont look at me! Look inside! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 17, 2018 not talking theoretically here. What I am referring here to mind(consciousness) is all movement of the self. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2018 If the conditioned mind (self) does not exist, why do we continually act in accordance to that illusion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
