Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 P.S. 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. P: Continuing my efforts to make you peel off the last obscuring specks of meat from the shiny bone of awareness let me note that the last two phrases of the above paragraph negate what you wrote before them. There can not be only sensing, if sensing is qualified as empty vs. distinguishing sensing with content. The fact is, that even the deluded experience only sensing, and qualification about content is an utilitarian afterthought, such as, " there is a big pothole ahead, so I better avoid it. " The last phrase, " nothing sensed " could be taken as a reiteration of empty sensing, or as an assertion that when all divisions drop, nothingness is sensed as the unknown, which is both awareness, and not aware at all. So, which one did you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, which one did you mean? There are no " deludeds " and " in-the-knows. " Just stop living in make-believe. (Regarding your question: I meant that there is no separable object being sensed - it is not like there is something called " nothingness " and this " nothingness-object " is being sensed.) - D - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
