And it is not a belief, it is my experience. That is how I experience myself, what I am. Werner: There is noone who sees, there is just seeing. Same with the other senses.There is no one who thinks, there is just thinking. Larry: I agree with this in a sense. Most people think there is someone who sees, but there is not. Yet it seems there is, but there is not. There is just consciousness that sees without seeing, thinks without thinking, is without being. Yet still exists as all. Werner: ....somesthing static which never changes but in which the endless changing world is appering. Larry: It, or I, am not static, I am all, that contains all, that is all, and is change itself, and the root from which change occurs. Not static, but alive. Werner: All that is absolutely wrong. Larry: If this is absolutely wrong, What is absolutely accurate, correct, true? Werner: And you believe this mirror is you and so you are invulnerable and you have eternal life. Larry: No I don't. But it's true that if you die, I am still alive. And you can't kill all the parts, but if you did, I AM still alive, and as the totality of consciousness which includes all substance, I AM invulnerable, infinite, and eternal. HOW GREAT YOU ARE, HOW GREAT I AM. ALL TRUTH, ALL KNOWING INVULNERABLE, INFINITE AND ETERNAL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Dear Larry, you write: >No, not a mirror, nothing is reflected, but a consciousness that is all things and is experiencing all things. And it is not a belief, it is my experience. That is how I experience myself, what I am. >...There is just consciousness that sees without seeing, thinks without >thinking, is without being. Yet still exists as all. --- You understood the process of experiencing. Now, why do you call this process " consciousness " ? Why give it a mentally constructed form? Why not leave it as it is... experiencing whatever " things " are experienced? If you leave it just there: what are you missing? --- >It, or I, am not static, I am all, that contains all, that is all, >and is change itself, and the root from which change occurs. Not static, >but alive. --- What you observe is a process, not a subject or object, there are not even things like roots or screens. Therefor any construct like " consciousness " , which is a static objectification, is meaningless and unnecessary. You just have to find out why you still feel tempted to construct such terms, who it does and how it happens. Just my 2 cents... :-) lilola Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
