You have been talking as if there is a separately existing knower who can " have a ticket " or " keep their hope " or generally gain something from having a belief of some kind. As if the separable knower isn't an assumption and a belief. Any object that you define and know as an object requires the nonobjectified awareness of that object in order for it to be known as an object. They co-arise, the object and the awareness of it, the unqualifiable and unlocated knowing of object's qualities and location. Because " knowing " is considered as a quality of the human object, one talks about an unqualifiable " awareness " that allows " knowing " to be comprehended as such and attributed to a human object. The awareness of no qualities and the object with assumed and designated qualities - such as location in relation to an observer, qualities of color, or sound, or being perceived at a certain point in time relative to other perceptions. One notices this immediately. It's the " how " of designated qualities and form. Including human qualities and form. Including the designated human quality of having the ability to know something. This is like a step backward from everything - only without having a place to step to. Keeping this fuzzy so as to not have to contend with the fact of the unknown is the only reason it gets treated as if secret or special. Consider that in assuming a human object as knower, there is an assumed knowing of the knower as knower. And it's impossible to say where this knowing of the knower as knowing, is located. If you try to find it, you create an infinite regress: knowing of the knowing of the knowing of the knowing knower, ad infinitum. To try to find it, you have to keep stepping back, to get out of the picture, but each step back makes a new picture. It's where this infinite regress breaks down that there is pure unknown awareness - of no qualities, not even the qualities associated with awareness. The reason for using the term " awareness " is to say that this unknown nothing is not some distant black hole, it is the present moment as is being experienced - one can thus provisionally use the term " awareness. " This has nothing to do with gaining a new belief, or getting some kind of personal ticket to a liberating nirvana or eternity to continue one's existence as. It is as much as step back from personal existence as anything else. There is nothing to gain here, or gain from. - D - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" D: Unless the assumption of separation dissolves, and the center dissolves, it won't matter what is said. It's not unusual for the assumption of separation to be maintained, and all kinds of " nondual truth " to be believed. Those beliefs then become a way to maintain the assumption of separation while denying that it is being held. After all, I know all these things about " nonduality " don't I? -- D -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment the assumption of dividedness drops, sensing, awareness, and non-centered being are the same - there won't be any problem understanding that being aware doesn't constitute a " me " as an add-on, nor a " body-mind object " as an add-on, because there is only sensing. Empty sensing. Nothing sensed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not add that "your" in there. -geo-it doesn't matter that they are beliefs that negate awareness and assume separately existing things, like neurons, that supposedly produce awareness.because awareness is right there, now, as you notice these beliefs, which are thoughts, which are only there as you are aware of them. -d- The same. If you say "you are aware of them" then there is a split as some you and some awareness. Then it becomes similar to the popular way awareness is used: some by-product of the brain. -geo-nisargadatta differentiated consicousness and awareness so he could discuss what neurons and body-minds do, and not assume that awareness could be detached from the picture.again, it's funny to me that you apparently like nisargadatta a lot, yet maintain the kinds of beliefs that his way of discussing things undermined.or in your case, didn't undermine.

Pulling a comment out of context to try to hit me over the head with it and stir up drama. Silly. Of course there's no authority. Yet there can be resonance with words that were given. That's all.

Words can make one feel as though there are " others " (or not), if one's reality is being defined by words. Obviously, there's no verbal formula or suggestion possible about how this could change.

Its really a shame to see how nondualist babblers have lost any commonsense and are caught in a complicated stale web of words themselves.
