So you dismiss my (slightly more advanced) explanations as to why you should look into what a thought is, but wouldn't inspect the actual thoughts? Are you sure you really want to find out what 'no self' is, or, is just something that sounded cool down the pub one evening? It's ok, there's no need to... I could serve you ways of replacing your current thoughts with better feeling thoughts, and maybe that's what you need for a while. When you're ready, tell me what a thought is, with as many details as you can.

You believe thoughts reflect the real world, whatever you think that is. When you see through the nature of thought, the self you believe to be is also seen through. Thoughts are the veil that obscures. Though that's cool if this is not in line with what you wanted from this thread 😌

@Philwhat are thoughts? How do they appear, where are they coming from, where are they going ?

Breathtaking video, especially the second half. The scale of the universe is immense (some might say infinite). This video has the power to remove most self-referential thoughts and small - mindedness.

Oh no, you found the cheat code 😬

No, not "all" of "us". These things you believe are reflecting reality as it really, actually, is... these THOUGHTS - since they are being relied on so much, to the point of not distinguishing between THOUGHTS and BEING/ACTUALITY... What are they??? How do they appear, where are they coming from, are they "my" thoughts ,who is this "me" entity that has these thoughts?? Cheer up, there's hope at the end of the tunnel... Oh wait... no there isn't!! 💯 🎉 Yay!!!

My guess, thisintegrated

Loop this video until enlightenment

@Someone hereit's tough, having a love for philosophy, and having 'truth' as your highest value, to see through the veil. The truth you think is your highest value, is understanding. This is not what is being referred to as 'absolute truth' (not the idea of an absolute truth existing and being knowable, but the unspeakable absolute truth, so this is only a pointer that absolute truth is not what you currently understand by the words 'absolute truth', which is a relative truth that's so immense, ever present and why not, infinite (all these words are concepts, you have a concept of infinity in your mind, true infinity is not your concept of infinity). Tldr: 'we, as humans' are addicted to thoughts. We think thoughts represent truths about reality. If you take something from this, let it be this: liberation/enlightenment/etc is NOT in thoughts, it is NOT in concepts, no matter how hard Leo and other teachers (but mostly Leo 😀) sell you their concepts and insights and understanding. Most you can achieve on the path of understanding truth, is replace your current intrusive thoughts with better feeling ones, that would then reduce the impulse for liberation since you'll be feeling slightly better and for a while, you'll be suffering less... Until the next ism, concept, insight will trip 'you' up. This you I'm talking about here is... Are you ready ? JUST ANOTHER THOUGHT. Since you're addicted to thought, why not investigate WHAT A THOUGHT IS? are you going to be addicted to something you have no idea what it is? And since the 'you' is JUST ANOTHER THOUGHT, until you see through the veil of thoughts and stop identifying with it, you'll keep going round in circles, adding some concepts to your mountain if concepts, updating some, and will call it 'understanding' and maybe sometimes a thought will appear "I'm feeling better about myself and the way I understand things"... Until the next thought that brings 'you' back down. See that this thought identity only serves to keep you asleep.... WAKE UP !!! 🤔🚀😳🧨💣💥🤯

Yes, you are 😏
