Thought Quieting Down

[Orb]

Last night was doing neti neti and just doing self inquiry. Focused in on thought and through feeling the subtlety of its source. Realized thought can relax, like relaxing a muscle. Had loud mental music playing. Relaxed it, and felt it quiet down, there were even moments of no thought but they were short. It's possible for thought to quiet down, it's like turning down a dial.

Yep. Even “last night…”.

Utter delusion. 

 

Getting out of your own way is really a recognition that getting in your own way is literally impossible. 

But thought makes it seem so.

@Phil where is the delusion?

@Orb

Take a deep breath and relax. Let every little muscle & tension release. 

Take a look around. 

Where’s last night?

Where is ‘there’, which is not here, such that delusion could be where?

[Orb]

@Phil last night isn't anywhere. I wanted to know what you were referring to as Utter Delusion. 

[Phil]

These are one & the same.

That which isn’t anywhere has a past in which that which isn’t anywhere was doing neti neti?

What kinda half assed neti neti is this?

[Orb]

@Phil how are those 2 topics the same? Okay i see, I just wanted to share a story, I don't wanna change my language to prove I get the non dual stuff.

That’d be ridiculous.

@Phil I don't know how they're the same topic, when I said "I see" I was referring to your comment about the half assed neti neti.

Was meant humorously in jest. It’s a thread about thought quieting down, which kicks off with last night doing neti neti. 

Funny, no!?

(Neti neti… not that… not that… as in, I Am not last night)

@Phil it got a chucked out of me sure 😄. I will confemplate it.
