A wild thought appeared:

 In order for someone to talk about enlightenment, It had to be encapsulated into a thought to carry on, so It's all about thoughts. If you're enlightened, that's a thought and when you talk about enlightenment, you're talking about a thought of your experience thus enlightenment being your experience, you are a thought.

Excellent. That is why the sages say that if enlightenment could be transmitted by words alone then all of mankind would be enlightened. All that we talk about is to be treated as signposts, pointing towards the direction of truth but never quite it. The truth is silent - mouna.

So back to you, who's inquiring then? If I am just an illusion, who suffers? Who feels? Who sees? You first begin by identifying everything I experience as thoughts, then you conclude that thoughts are illusion, then I am an illusion. Then your definition of illusion has very real things such as sufferings, feelings, good feelings, experiences. But the definition of illusion is the opposite of reality. Then I ask you, do you really know what you're talking about?

Seeing, suffering, feeling etc. are all thoughts.

You say I have a headache and I suffer. But sit down and really look into this experience. Can you really find the sufferer? 

There is no duality. Your present confusion is due to the beliefs held. 

Empty your head and look into your direct experience. 

There is just reality, and it is not split into parts. That is what the absolute is.

Look no offense at all, If I cut you and make you suffer, I'd bet you can find a sufferer and tell me things to stop. Now who tells things to stop if no sufferer is there?

If there's no one there, who talks about an headache? If there's even no one is here on this forum, how we come have seperate accounts and experiences?

Youre still there in sleep but there are no senses to be aware of therefore there is no time or space and no ”you”. just a blank

Cutting, suffering, sufferer, pain, blood, knife, headache, forum, accounts, experiences. These are all thoughts.

I am this, I am that. Be as you are, without these thoughts ever arising, and you will see for yourself how cutting "me" is really cutting "yourself". 

Really look into your direct experience of life and see if you can find the doer of actions.

Go grab a glass of water and drink it, without there ever being the thought of the glass, the water, the drinking and the drinker.

It's all the Self. Undivided.

The Self is like the cinema screen on which different scenes play out. The mind divides the images into parts and assigns names to them. One of these is the "I".

I feel for all these seekers. It is only mind games. One only has to bow out to realize.

[1] If I cut my hand, I will suffer for physical pain, If I cut you, I won't be suffering from any physical pain, maybe I'd suffer mentally that I cut you and made you suffer but this suffering is not physical suffering as like suffering appears on cut surface. Thus this really is not same thing.

[2] Doer can be identified as body but observer is cannot be known.

[3] I am divided from all. Refer to [1]

[4] I like this, gonna contemplate on it.

Well yes and no. The yes to your question. No as for my stomach. I feel better I experienced for my gut health. I do not fear eating flesh. I did exceptions even once or twice.
