It's difficult to acknowledge that there is no Self that will free a self. There is no self to be made free. One is free of self. The strivings of the self to be free, are avoidance. The wish of the self to make itself free by believing in freedom, is self-deceit. Awareness, although that which never is not, comes at a price: Everything you have believed yourself to be, know, have. In other words, all the unreality that has been taken as real. And the center of it. - Dan - Not that it is relevant - but your " definition " above as " all the unreality that has been taken as real. and the center of it. " is what krishnamurti calls consciousness. -geo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a perspective of non-attachment, it's laughable. The loss of unreality, directly related to " all my problems " , being taken as a " price? " == Yes...its in fact the loosing of weight one had to carry for a long time...Or, burning the contract I thought I had signed but did not. -geo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one took away from the human being everything that was done to avoid being nothing (e.g., not being known, not having status, not having wealth, not be remembered, not having experiences, not having what you want) and everything that was done to avoid being (e.g., wanting to avoid risks, being noticed, experiencing) what would be left? just natural being being which is not in opposition to not-being which has no conflict with any other and the human being would then act without acting, know without knowing, be without existing and life would be ... unknown .... rather than the attempt to have a center in the known of course, one cannot take away from the human being everything that is done to avoid being and to avoid not being. because this is simply a matter of clarity, of awareness one can talk endlessly about this topic, and it will make very little of an impact because transformation (which is not a change of anything) in which avoidance of being drops, does not involve any impact from something outside - including words, religion, spiritual practice, etc. there is no outside of this awareness, which is being, which is neither existing nor not existing. -- Dan -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is saying that without the center-periphery-consciousness there would not be a separate me. " Taking away " does not mean someone taking away..it is an idiomatic expression. It is not possible to desassemble/separte idiomatic expressions into their individual component words - the unit looses its meaning. For example...smart-ass means one thing, but then ass and smart another. -geo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much defensiveness, due to such simple posts (as Dan posts). It's interesting. The same thing happened here the other night -- I posted the following on Nondualitysalon, and was met with so much distractive talk, it was ridiculous.

And yes, " taking away " is very similar to saying " the basis for fragmentation is not. " - Dan - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where all apparently disparate selves and others meet, the meeting place involves no contact, and is simultaneously everywhere and nowhere. Being everywhere and nowhere, with no contact ever having occurred, one is clear that any self co-arises with its other, and vice versa - hence neither self nor other ever has been. - Dan - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
