Pacific Daylight Time, inandor writes: geo> The same. ****The imagined is not imagining itself into existence. geo> No. The dreaming program projects the dreamer and its periphery. The program projects the inner illusory fixed entity. You ask what is prior to the imaging...it is the image making program. There is a seemingly paradox but it is not really. This program is " very very old " - way of speaking. ****The analogy of a 'program' doesn't work for me. It's much more immediate than that. Perception, thought, feeling are happening now. The universe is forming as it's perceived. There is an intelligent awareness expressing right now in the form of thought and other 'mind objects', and also experiencing that expression and forming new perception in response. It's all very alive and dynamic and right here and now. This intelligence/Awareness/presence is right here, but it is prior to the imaginary person and common to all. We're not looking for a Big Self, we're just looking for that which is looking. No programs, no imaginary things imagining anything, just this presence forming and experiencing and responding to it's own expression right now. None of the above is the nondualistic Truth of the matter and almost every word can be picked apart and dismissed or sneered at, and that seems to be the goal of this forum, but the result is that nobody is saying anything so that the words can't be challenged. The beginningless endlessness of the empty fullness within the withoutness of the incomplete completeness of..... That's the real BS. The best we can do is try to talk to each other using real words and take a lil peek behind the words and see if there's anything there. geo> Could you say a few word about the nature of that intelligence? Something else.It is not a crticism...but something to understand. There is something with " we're not looking for a Big Self, we're just looking for that which is looking. " . Who could be there looking for the look-er that is prior to all? ****I don't know anything about the nature of that intelligence. Since it is the source of qualities, it is, itself, qualityless. That which is looking for the looker is the looker. That's part of what I've been trying to say with imaginary things doing the imagining. There's just one 'thing', and it's ultimately responsible for everything. Since there is no time, this same non-thing is doing all the doingness now. That intelligence/presence is writing, reading, perceiving, imagining, etc. There isn't anything else. However, between the source of the thought in 'your' head, and the thought itself, is a radical paradigm shift from the nonlinear to the linear. The source of thoughts is not, itself, thinking. The source of time/space is not, itself, operating in time, nor could it be anywhere but here. 'We', of course, are that source rather than the expression. Again, that's just plain language, not intended to keep me out of trouble. Hehe. geo> I think what you write is fact. Yes that intelligence is so far removed from humaninty that.....ther is nothing we cold say about it - nonetheless is here. What you describe, if taken deeply far enough is like being consciusness, is not it? I am all manifestation. I am the world. But the danger here is that one could say so without meditating it. Then is just like saying god is in me, or i am god... and keep on with the show as a separate entity. We found the real 'Hotel California' and the 'Seinfeld' diner. What will you find?

That intelligence is empty of mind objects simply because it is prior to all mind objects; the source of all thoughts and perceptions. This means that everything is made up in the expression and has no relevance to the source of the expression, so nothing we can think has anything to do with the source, not really because the source is inconceivable, but because it is prior to conception.geo> This is interesting really...yes. In the other hand..consider: everything, anything, any no-thing, any -blablabal, all possiblities, even all non-possibilities are there in potencial. So when you say that "has no relevance to the source of the expression"....well it is interesting. There must be some conection for sure. ****Welp, more than a connection when it's infinite potential actualized, but the deal is, everything is made up out of nothing. Dualistic pairs are necessary because nothing has any meaning beyond form, and the polarities are used to define each other. The reference for everything is also made up and is included as one of the dualistic poles. ===Yeah, since Consciousness, Awareness, whatever, is all there is, I/you/we have to be that one 'thingy'. Bye, bye personhood, volition, free will.geo> Are able to say that the world is you and you are the world....I mean...there is only you? Not as a conclusion as when you say "since"...but actually, perceptually? ****It's an extremely odd mix of clarity and ignorance here, the clarity being nearly complete, which is to say absent it's Wholeness. The blind spots are strategically positioned and carefully held in place, and I can see this clearly as well. When I'm ready to shift my gaze and look at what hasn't been seen, then i will. I have nothing at all to do with it. As I say, very odd. We found the real 'Hotel California' and the 'Seinfeld' diner. What will you find? Explore WhereItsAt.com.

So, now according to you there is someone who is supposed to understand and practice. Whereas you've frequently made the point there is no one to understand anything, and nothing to understand. Clearly, this kind of communication can go back and forth ad infinitum between you and you. You can criticize a self you say isn't there for whatever it is you construe that self as doing, while you also say that this self doesn't exist or do anything. I'm not sure if you're working something out by doing this, but if so, good luck. -- D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
