The I that has never seen a thought; has never been seen either. As these concepts are known never seen. Seeing never sees itself in the same context the sun never shines on itself. The only answer to the question is already contained in the question...a thought is nought but a thought, conceptually known, and never seen.

Therefore knowledge can only point to the illusory nature of reality; the realisation by no one that there is no known knower, except as “thought” thinks so. What attends to “thought” what answers it, what identifies with it? The answer is more thought. Thoughts about thoughts will eventually reveal to themselves that given no attention they will literally cease to exist. If we let a thought be nothing, then that's what it will be ... nothing.

The apparent seeker sees nothing in what is sought, because the sought can know nothing of its reality. So there is never any paradox in reality. “SEEKER” is just another empty principle appearing real in this conception.

My view is that there is nothing beyond the dream of love bliss and ecstasy. In other words the dream is all there is, that can be known. And yet at the same time; what is known can know nothing. So maybe the purpose of the dream is for the dream character to go beyond the dream to the actuality that nothing ever happened or happens in a dream. This is just my opinion though, as I view reality through the lens of my perception here.

Very well said! 👍 The subject/object duality is within the illusory dream of separation where there is none. The ''I AM'' is the direct experience of empty space between the fullness of thought. Here; there is no middle man.

Illusions. An illusion knowing it's illusory. 🤣

Yes, because anything said is basically just sound heard as words. Quite remarkable really, this illusion. Sound, where is that? 🤔

@Orbran Hello!

No body thinks this.

No body knows.

The essence beyond form is like the silhouette of a dream, elusive yet captivating. It resides in the interstices of existence, where the tangible and intangible converge. Essence beyond form is the question within the answer, the pause between breaths. It’s the space between atoms, the void that births creation. It’s the wholeness in emptiness, the stillness in chaos.

The 'thought' (idea) of a 'someone' here is conceived as a thought/ concept; heard as and through the word itself. The word is then seemingly taken to be a literal real entity. What IT IS that does apparently seem to be a 'someone' who can conceive the idea of itself as a 'somebody' in and of itself cannot be conceived of because the only thing known to knowing are temporal finite concepts within infinite beingness or oneness. This sense of knowing seems to be about being other than what is always being infinite being; which is an illusory other As never the twain shall meet.

The realisation of our infinite non-dual nature can be both terrifying and a liberating relief for the ego.

The Am I infinite question can only be answered one way. I Am In- Finite. I Am a finite appearance (in-finite) within infinity, inseparably one and the same no-thing and every-thing.
