Is There an Inside, an Outside? (no-me: dreams & understanding)

[Guest guest]

" nothing is really happening... "

..that is all. nothing's ever happened!

 

But those who don't have deep understanding about 'nothingness' can be so

fooled by their senses.

 

Maharaj kept saying, " Understanding is all you need!! Once there is an

understanding, you can do anything!! "

 

I still enjoy dreaming since I've got a lot more control in dreaming than the

waking stage.

 

I think that the only thing that wakes me up from dreaming or sleeping is

hunger...that is consciousness!

 

Great analysis!!

This concept cannot be approached directly.

 

Any intellectualization occurs from within ....and arises from....the milieu of

the identified

entity....the illusion of self.....the occlusion,

 

The self looks out and sees what appears to be a world.....when in fact the

perceived

'world' is merely the content of consciousness.

 

The 'self' is also merely the content of consciousness.......looking for

consciousness itself.

 

If one thinks of his dream last night......all of those

people......mountains....and animals

appeared to be 'outside' of the dream hero.......and in a way.....they were.

 

 

..........but the whole drama swirls within the thought stream.........it is all

electro-chemical

mnemonics...........nothing is really happening.

 

'You' can never find your self within your own dream.....and

yet........everything in your

dream is you.

 

 

Concepts cannot capture this............Understanding can.
