Confusion of identity is common.

Thought is naturally flowing in the natural state.
However, when a reference point ‘me’ is constantly referred to, thoughts about thoughts enters and seeming separation occurs.
The ‘me fixation’ appears to take on a life of its own.
Suffering follows close behind and confusion of identity is as common as leaves on trees.
………………………..
Take a keen interest in understanding thought, without grasping any quick conclusions.
Observe the mind and take note of the various ‘qualities’ of thoughts and their different types.
Let the interest be a private interest, not to be discussed like the weather.
The mind can reveal a great deal and intelligence can come to the fore as belief in thoughts and their accompanying afflictive emotions lose their apparent substance and subside into a new realm of self-knowledge, hither to unheard of and unknown.

What bondage of self – if you don’t think about it?

What if all your efforts to liberate yourself are in vain, simply because you are not actually in bondage?
If you investigate where you are seeing from and if you eliminate any reference points that pop up and keep doing this until there is nothing left for the mind to label……..you might just recognize your true nature.

……………………………….

Why is the simplicity of being ignored so consistently?

Is it because everyone is fixated on an illusion of this infamous ‘bondage of self’?

Do they imagine that a wet piece of rope is a snake?  That they have been bitten and that the poison is driving them insane?

I have never been bitten by a piece of wet rope. Have you?

The obvious clarity of naked cognition

There is an intelligence far beyond the capacity of any intellect – it is the only true intelligence.
One without a second.
Its presence is wordless and silent.
Its activity is the immediate appearance of this universe.  It is only ever immediate.

It has no duration that can possibly be measured.  It has no point or centre and no circumference or boundary.

Look into the night sky and observe this boundless presence.

Seeing is not in time or space.  Seeing is always spontaneously instant.
Wonder and respect rise up spontaneously when the intellect is silenced by the boundless presence of this obvious living intelligence.
It is always present – it is presence – All presence.

How can you possibly be separate from THAT?

What concept can you use to separate yourself from the obvious clarity of naked cognition?

………………..

Nothing can touch the activity of seeing.

Whatever claim is made about some see-er in the seeing can only be conceptual.

There is no entity in the seeing.

There is no one to claim the seeing as a see-er – the seeing is ever fresh.

Mind is time and mind is a transient appearance (eg: as the thought ‘I am the thinker’) and all appearances appear nowhere other than in the seeing.

The bind.

What you truly are is the seeing-knowing.

It appears to be weighed down by beliefs.

If the beliefs are truly seen through, all concepts of ‘process’, ‘becoming’ and ‘the progressive path’ are known to be a complete fiction.

 

 

Oh but one must not mention it because it might upset someone who still believes they are a separate entity.

All inclusiveness is the natural state of consciousness

As a child the livingness is naturally expressing itself without a conceptual overlay.
The longing to return to our natural state is a natural longing.
The burden of believing in a conceptualised image of self feels like a prison with no exit.
Trying to escape this prison through meditation and spiritual practices has a limited effect.
Quietening the mind brings a temporary relief.
However, the slavery to the practice is only a new form of bondage.
The cure eludes the mind simply because the cure is not in the mind.
You have fragmented your self through belief in concepts.
Concepts disturb your natural abidance with spontaneous consciousness.
A thought cannot be aware. A thought cannot control the mind.
Frustration through belief in being something that you are not keeps the mind in a state of restlessness….
and unease in being continually calls forth doubts.
The certitude of natural being is not in any concept.
The silent and wordless natural state, like the child consciousness, cannot be conceived or perceived.
It is spontaneously present before any thought or concept appears.
Being distracted by the conceptual stream is why the sense of ‘not getting there yet’ pervades the mind.
Doubt is only a thought.
Being is not a concept or thought.
Be what you are.
Let the mind be free to rest on nothing. Let thoughts come and go.
In this way the natural state, seeing-knowing, will reveal that emptiness is your true nature…
and the beauty of the entire manifestation will dissolve all boundaries in the mind.
The timeless nature of awareness itself will open (is openness itself ) and reveal its all inclusiveness.
Revelation is the nature of ‘what is’.

Controversy is conflicting points of view.

Controversial points of view ’cause’ conflict with beliefs that are held onto.

Resonance with what is true is an inexplicable ‘phenomena’.

One knows something is true by the resonance that appears in the innate knowing…..appearing as a recognition.  One can only re-cognise something if it has already been cognised.

What purpose does cognition have?  For whom can such a question be addressed to?  Who can answer such a question?

Many times one hears the question ‘What is the purpose of life?’

The various answers that one hears are usually typical answers and quite often they are simply repeated answers that have been heard somewhere and memorized.
For whom can there be a purpose?
Life is Eternal Life-immortality.
The only genuine purpose any individual can have is to realize the immortality of life itself.  I am That.
By believing in being a separate entity, a limited individual, one sets oneself up against Consciousness itself.  Belief in being separate is an arrogant self centered attitude, based on false knowledge.
The more one clings to false knowledge, the more it seems that  consciousness weaves problems for the individual.
This drama is measured out in exact proportions according to the various ways that identification displays itself as ‘my life’.
Belief in erroneous or false knowledge is like an  insult to Consciousness.  One could say that consciousness is obliged to display itself according to your beliefs.  Question the beliefs and the display changes automatically.
What is your understanding?
Truly, what can you say about your understanding?
In the appearance of things, so many so called spiritual people are nothing but a simple, or even a grotesque mask, that is seemingly worn for no other ‘reason’ but for the ingenuous facade of being a ‘person’ which can be nothing other than non-investigation.
it only appears to exist because it has not been investigated thoroughly.
The fact is that the ‘person’ is not reality.   The persona is a mask, worn by whom?
Reality does not need to disguise itself because in reality there is no one to convince or to trick into any realms of belief.
Maya weaves the apparent fabric of the lost seeker’s story of me.  None of it is real.
NONE of it is real.
Attachment to the story of me is a cloak  of ignorance, worn by no one.
This truth is too hard to bare for the identified and fabricated entity.
The fabricated entity is vulnerable simply because of one fact…. it is not real.
Who wants to know about any of this?
The truth is……no one.
Knowing is happening.
There is no individual that can actually know anything or not know anything.  Such talk is sheer nonsense for those not steeped in belief in something that never existed.
The ‘me’ is a complete fiction.  Me is a concept, idea, image and memory.  An unquestioned belief will keep reappearing.
Who would believe that the me is not real?
No one, it seems.  And yet it appears that billions do believe in being separate entities.
Does Consciousness care?
Consciousness is totally impartial.
One without a second.
Consciousness is non dual.   The content of consciousness is duality……  ’me’ and ‘not me’.
Awareness is no dual.  The content of awareness is duality…….  See-er  and the seen.
Reality is non dual.     The manifestation is appearance – duality.

Forever is a long time for mind.

Q: Is it possible to remain an apparent seeker ‘forever’?

A: NO. A seeker is a momentary distraction…….elongated, it is a story of words knitted together with the energy of belief…and so it appears to be a prison.

Q: So it’s not really happening at all.

A: No.  A dream is a dream.  The waking state destroys the dream within moments.

Q: So it’s not really happening at all for whatever I actually am.

A: THAT is already free…there is no MORE freedom or less freedom.

Q: You don’t waste any time.

A: There is NO time. Mind is time and I am not in the mind.
Your prison is that you think you are in the mind. Bound to time constructs.

Q: I think I’m located into the body as a small painful entity.

A: WHO thinks that?
The suffering is due to adhering to that conceptual image called ‘me’.

Stop referring to that image and see what happens.

Q: There’s silence…….and a revelation of subtle joy.

A: All there is is LIFE…..the causeless joyful existence ‘I am’.

Q: So there’s a confusing of an image with a feeling, a claiming of the feeling and imagining an implied self within that feeling.

A: Cut to the core. Are you the concept-less knowing or the thoughts and images?

Q: It feels like I could experientially be anything.

A: Yes…through belief you become a terror of your own self. Stop it.

Q: It’s actually that simple – just stop it.

A: Intelligence will stop the belief….as long as ‘you’ as that believed in entity, joins in with a 100% genuine investigation.
The slightest inclination to protect the false, will keep you from what is true.

Q: Much love my friend, thanks for the persistent consistency of truth telling.

‘The story of me’…. is dimension reduction.

There are 3 or 4 hundred notes on this site.
Here is a recent one.
Why does the feeling, the spirit, remain the same?
Years go by, decades and something stays the same.
We can meet elderly folk who say “I still feel like I am 18″.Here is my new years ‘gift’, for what it is worth.
You have possibly read my comments on the story of me and how it is not reality.
Read this following short passage from a very interesting book.
“Our tendency to perceive – to impose – narrativity and causality are symptoms of the same disease – dimension reduction.
Moreover, like causality, narrativity has chronological dimension and leads to the perception of the flow of time.
Causality makes time flow in a single direction, and so does narrativity.But memory and the arrow of time can get mixed up.
Narrativity can viciously affect the remembrance of past events as follows: we will tend to more easily remember those facts from our past that fit a narrative, while we tend to neglect others that do not appear to play a causal role in the narrative.”
Nassim Nocholas Taleb – Page 70, The Black Swan.   Get the book if you are interested.
……………………………..
There appear to the mind multiple dimensions and each one is an appearance in relativity.  Zero dimension is a point.  A line of points is the first dimension.  A plane of lines laying next to each other is the second dimension.  A block of planes laying next to each other is a cube….the third dimension.  We add dimensions through conceptualised visualisation.
All the dimensions and directions are apparently born out of Zero dimension, a point.
In actuality, all apparent points can be reduced to empty space.   Energy appearing ‘as’ this and that.  It all appears in the mind and the mind appears upon awareness.  You cannot find any thing called mind.  You cannot deny your existence.   Whatever labels we put upon this dimensionless existence are only conceptual.  No concept has any actual dimension or substance.  Ephemeral existence – unfathomable.  ’I am’.
