Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 P: Stefan, I'm very glad you have come to the clarity you express below, few indeed, are those who disentangle from the bindings of words, and can enjoy just seeing without words. NNB >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. >Larry: There is a problem with words. I do it to communicate in ordinary terms. Dear Larry, all problems are with words. It can be often helpful to look deeper into ones use of language. >I agree with you, but try writing your own idea instead of commenting on mine, and you will see the problem. It's easier to tear down than to build up. Oh, in my life it proved to be much easier to build up than to tear down. To build up I just had to utilize the big conventional pile of terms... until the tower of Babylon became too high. Then the tearing down started. It was sometimes a difficult and painful process. But the whole existence was on my side. And I found: to accept that there is just experiencing is much more exciting than to juggle with all kind of dead terms. They can be exhibited on the shelf of objects that make you a clever person, but they cannot live a life. lilola Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
