This was very insightful! There was many layers I wasn't aware of before🙏 I heard someone say the mind is like a barking dog. That made me smile 🙃

Woof!

Sunya, would you consider doing a video with the theme "Are all thoughts equal"? I think that you would say they are, because they arise unbidden, but after observing them, aren't some more useful than others? For example, when I'm out walking it isn't unusual to encounter people approaching me on the same side of the path. For a long time I found this annoying, wondering why they couldn't follow the simple idea of keeping right, as a bicyclist would. One day the absurdity of my annoyance suddenly struck me, and I've never been troubled by such walkers again, just moving over myself to give them space if they don't move first. In other words, observing my thoughts enabled me to change a negative reaction into a friendlier, more positive one. Hence my question. What am I missing here? 🤔

Some waves are gentle. Some waves are huge and rough. All waves seem to affect the fish. So the fish asks: "Should I avoid rough waves and embrace gentle waves?". But the fish is not choosing. The fish, and the waves, are all just ocean. No choices, no doing, no separation. Your statement about taking a more positive action based on a thought - was itself a thought, based on the original thought. The action occurred without your input. Because you are awareness. You are not deciding any of this - the apparent choosing or filtering of thoughts than "taking actions" based on them, is at the heart of the illusion here. It is all ocean swashing around in itself. Any sense of doership, decision, selection, or action, is the same as fish thinking it can control the tides, the waves or choose to live on land.

@@sunyateaching Thank you so much for your reply. 🥰 Your newest video today is also very helpful. I thought, "there's no one to wake up!" And that blew my mind.

[@sunyateaching]

[@piyannah0307]

Thank you both for bringing it up Is what you are saying even with a diagnoses That it is the way it is Because life is living life So if reacting to the diagnoses and taking steps for the body is useless as it is out of our hands Or is it to take the pathless path and just be and see where life takes you❤

Great stuff. However, what about the awareness trap? The shift in perception to where 'someone' realises they are awareness, that awareness is everything. That in itself is flawed, because there is no thing to 'be'. There is no 'you' to be awareness, because to be anything suggests there are other things separate from you.

[@sunyateaching]

Everything is awareness including what you call “I”. So when everything is your self , there is no separation

Do you think humankind is a good idea gone wrong? It seems like such a task for most people to see past the veil that human experience casts over our true essence. If we are God or all that there is or peace and happiness naturally, then it seems oxymoronic to spend so much effort to realise that it should take no effort to realise our true nature.

I know you aren't asking me but I feel like the development of a personality together with other cognitive faculties the neocortex allowes has been a positive in human evolutionary fitness but now mainly forms a temporary obstacle to the continued evolution of the consciousness of the species.

[@hadynbarr5716]

@whalhard I like to think that there's purpose in the evolution of humans too but if we purely are infinite awareness split up into these individual finite minds in order to experience itself then it seems to take something away from the need to evolve. If awareness itself remains constant, then it is not evolving. If we are already are, we're, and always will be pure love and happiness at our trueest core, then what is the point in human evolution? If it's all just an experience, then maybe the universe or awareness wants to experience suffering and confusion and doubt as well as the candy and rainbows🤷‍♂️

[@whalhard]

@hadynbarr5716 I have no idea if there is a purpose to the evolution of humans specifically but there certainly seems to be the possibility. Everything evolves together as a whole and one possible direction of this evolution seems to be that of growing consciousness. I tend to see any form of consciousness as a mere viewpoint of the one consciousness. Thus a larger viewpoint would bring more consciousness into this realm, which I vaguely consider as some kind of katalyst for consciousness. I believe the one consciousness would want to experience all possibilities without any judgment or preference because for all I know it is still evolving itself. But this is all thought.

I think we might be very early in our evolution and that of all species on earth.
