I'm not trying to teach or build any philosophical system here. I don't know if there is time or not, I don't know what non-duality means, I don't know if there is a self-referential thought system. Something just feels good and is fun and I share it here. Ok. I’m just having a bit of fun with this. I can meditate for long stretches and it does seem that time doesn’t exist. I know what this stuff is all about. Trying to have a little fun and create a bit of conversation.

Ever hear the Paul H. video where he realized people thought he was saying “the seeker is the sword” for years because of how he says the word sought? So funny. 😂 Quote Mention YouTube Website Sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 @Phil Yes, and now he spells out "sought", so there's no misunderstanding! 😂 Quote Mention You're a thought.

Faith Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 6 minutes ago, Blessed2 said: Paul says that all the time and I have no idea what it means 😂 There is no distance between the one that's seeking and what they are looking for (the sought), meaning you are what you're looking for, awareness/consciousness. Just like the wave is the ocean and the ocean is the wave, there's no space or distance between the two. Quote Mention You're a thought. Do you think a thought is going to occupy 'no thought'.

Blessed2 Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 The "I"-thought really is just a thought loop. If you inquire by "from whence 'I' come?"... The answer seems to be, "I"! It's like two mirrors facing each other. Suspicious! Quote Mention There must be an effortless way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessed2 Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 "By their very seeking they lose it, for that is using the Buddha to seek for the Buddha and using mind to grasp Mind. Even though they do their utmost for a full aeon, they will not be able to attain to it. They do not know that, if they put a stop to conceptual thought and forget their anxiety, the Buddha will appear before them, for this Mind is the Buddha and the Buddha is all living beings." - Huang Po Quote Mention There must be an effortless way.
