Self-Experience & Conceptual Dominance - A Mindfuck

2 posts in this topic

Just realized that the reason I can’t stop thinking all the time is that all thinking is done through symbols and concepts. 

This became so overwhelming because I’m realizing how EVERYTHING I related to (myself, every thing in my own experience, my very own bodily feeling, my thoughts, my emotions) are entirely and completely dominated by my own concepts. What was more stark was when I realized I couldn’t just drop it (the term “conditioned mind” is so appropriate). 

As I was going through some exercises from The Book of Not Knowing I realized “ALL of these are beliefs! I’m relating to nothing but my own beliefs!” The very fact that I’m laying on what I call a bed is actually just me relating to my own belief that it is a bed! Concept and belief are virtually the same (at least based on my current self-experience).

And belief and existence are the same too. There is no existence, you just believe you do.


All stories and explanations are false.
