Guest guest Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 Why are we bored? We are bored because we discriminate, because we expect entertainment. Ultimately, we are bored because we concentrate our attention on the contents of consciousness, rather that on awareness itself. The expectator is the show. Look not at the stage, but watch he who watch. If this sounds like duality, ask yourself, Am I ever bored? If the answer is yes, then you live in duality and declaring a premature understanding of unity, won't take you out of it. True unity is not an understanding, but a way of seeing and being.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 I don't accept your definitions, Pete. Boredom isn't bad, wrong, or out of place. Nothing is out of place. There is no division between awareness and contents of awareness. There is no division between someone watching and the show being watched. There aren't people living in duality and other people living in nonduality. Duality is nonduality, known as such when there is not a consideration that someone with its own self-existence can be in it, or out of it. Samsara is nirvana, the relative is not apart in any way from the absolute.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 Who's bored? Conjecture on the nature of boredom: Boredom is lack of inspiration. Inspiration is the inflow of spirit. When the spirit is stifled stagnation sets in. Such is boredom, or even depression. The opposite of boredom is freedom and openness. The opposite of boredom is vitality and life. -Bill pete seesaw [seesaw1us] Tuesday, November 19, 2002 7:39 AM Nisargadatta Boredom Why are we bored? We are bored because we discriminate, because we expect entertainment. Ultimately, we are bored because we concentrate our attention on the contents of consciousness, rather that on awareness itself.

There is no choice. Who has choice? It is called non-action. No-body, no-choice, no-action is What Is -Bill judirhodes [judirhodes] Wednesday, November 20, 2002 8:25 AM Nisargadatta Re: Boredom Nisargadatta, pete seesaw <seesaw1us> wrote: > > > > ******** Separate identity and *suffering* are one > > and the same thing. > > Chew on that by yourself for a while.
