James123 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 İf you really do know that what you really are is eternally nothing, and the life, which is so temporary not even a eye blink that giving to you is a gift. Will there be any suffering? Quote Mention "It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said I knew what resisting is but the ego self can't understand it because it typically only lives in the past or future Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understanding truth is beyond the mind and words are just pointers, what anyone says. The mind will interpret it. There is no me to think about understanding or the ego self. There is only awareness above all of that. There never was or is a so called "I" or doer. There is only being which is before all of that, which is whole and loving, unconditional, creation etc..

Eternal Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Well, awareness is simply aware of everything that is happening now. Yes, it is just one thought at a time so to speak. I have seen through the illusory nature of the "I" so there isn't a me anymore but the tricky nature of language makes it appear to seem so. It's almost like there is life/spirit/awareness operating through me and no do-ership but everything gets interpated by the mind on what is said. So there is no me, no you, we all share the same being which is higher than this sense of having the need to do something all the time Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
