Beyond the Concept of "No Self" - Our Beliefs and Concepts are the Greatest Obstacles to Awakening

[@cindye.410]

I just LOVE Awaken The World and Daniel Schmidt. It feels so nice to relax into the space he shares with us. Thank you Daniel 💖

[@JagjotSinghNonDuality]

Verbalization comes from thought formations and thoughts are limited and divisive. Even sadhana is a concept and Samadhi is a state that is never constant. The experience of "This" is only there and as you mentioned in the video, the Buddha conveyed that through silence. Wonderful presentation. Thank you for this. 🙏

[@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496]

I went through that after the first major shift that happened here 9 years ago. A spiritualized ego is quite cunning and very challenging to even see that it’s been created. I saw it in meditation one day and it has a couple friends with it. Spiritual greed, spiritual materialism and spiritual pride were all there having a party. 9 years later with thousands of hours of videos, practices, sadhanas, peak experiences etc and at this point, I’ve basically given up. Still meditate because it helps the action figure (body/mind) but Im just over it. I don’t get it. I’m just to stupid or my ego is just to damn strong or who knows. Pretty much just looking forward to death. Let’s get this endless suffering over already. I tried, hard, but there’s just suffering and more suffering more often than not so screw it. Hoping death will be the awakening I’ve been so desperately seeking. Of course catholic school as a kid assured us all of eternal suffering in hell and being ripped apart and tortured by devils and demons forever so death is scary af too but in either case, I’m already in hell so who cares I guess 😒

You have no idea how much i needed to hear about spiritual bypassing =)))THANK YOU SO MUCH Daniel.

[@JorisWeima]

Super important indeed! We all do it up to some point, on the path.

[@nastarankhoshgou]

@@JorisWeima Exactly. this feels like a new awakening.

[@JorisWeima]

@@nastarankhoshgou this concept also extends beyond spirituality; think about all the things we might do during the day to not feel feelings that are present. We arent aware of this. It keeps happening , without us realizing it as it happens. If we stop trying to 'avoid feeling our (subconsciously 'unwanted') feelings' by distraction or trying to make them go away, we will grow much faster as a person and also 'spiritually'.🙏🏼

[@nastarankhoshgou]

@@JorisWeima You are so much on point Joris. thank you for your insight🤍👌🏻 To be honest it is the mind especially subconcious (as you mentioned ) that portrays everything as a duality of good or bad; yes you can actually set yourself free from many of your unconcious patterns by remembering the truth of who you actually are. but at the same time when something triggers sadness, anger, frustration or any other emotion in you, you just let it be that way in the present. Interestingly, i've read this recently : "You don't need to FEEL better. you need to GET better at FEELING." 🙂

[@James-pc1ku]

The writing and narration of these videos are absolutely next level .... Literally a meditation in itself .... With the additional backing music it's totally captivating .... Enchanting ... Mesmerising ... So glad I've found these as I'm now at a point of existing for nothing other than the now moment ... I'm getting much better at simply being, and accepting the exact moment as the only moment I desire to focus on ... Conceptual forms i once had are rapidly losing their hold and I'm feeling purified and balanced more each day, freeing from the direction Samskaras had me sleepwalking towards .... I feel so innocently neutral now, with no affiliations or connections to anything other than small natural steps towards Samadhi ❤

[@Odality]

No self because "self" doesn't makes any sens if "others" and the world doesn't exist outside of "you". The funny thing is, we can talk as much as we want, words such no self are still a mental construction, not the truth. The only single thing closer to reality i can say is that i'am (without the "i") and i know absolutely nothing. Thanks you for your great work, i can see the truth through theses words. 🙏💚

Self and no self Me and you(the not me) To me, everything else is you(the not me) Everyone I meet, is you(the not me) It’s just me and you. Got this from a person who had an NDE, where God explained to this person, in the form of a question, “what would you do if I told you it is just me and you”?

All the political, moral, and religious distractions, it has become a greater challenge to escape the illusions and find the peace within. Even advanced meditation practioners are finding it more difficult to find a escape.

[@raycosmic9019]

Self = Being aware of being aware. Soul: Integrated Psyche Mind = Inspiration Heart = Aspiration Will = Volition Integration = Integrity = Soul When the Heart aspires, the Mind inquires and the Will conspires (combines). Now is constant. Perception is variable. Empty of ego (separateness) = Full of Life.

[@citizenenak]

Non being is where awareness comes from along with every particular thing big or small, up or down, right or left. The reason I can't seem to find myself by putting a finger on it so to say is that what's going on is mis understood generally by humanity. It doesn't seem to difficult to understand the same intention born out of one body is the same intention born out of another body. Conditioning defines it until it doesn't. The notions of all these gods of religions does little for the masses. Sure when an apparent being has emptied themself what remains? An ability for non being to be manifestly free. The question that needs to be asked or the requisite desire needed to go down this seeming path is who am I? What am I? Can I find myself in its singular form like we all seem to believe and just take it for granted? No you cannot. Nobody has. Call a realized being what you will but if you name it the imagination kicks in. Better to not put them on a pedestal. If that's what they want then they are seeking attention which is all one needs to see in this case.

[@domingosmsande9153]

What is called "matter" is in itself a mystery. That's why Science is always investigating. We ignore what matter really is. Therefore, we are ignorant. What is this thing we call "life"? What is this thing we call "consciousness"? We ignore. Knowledge is always incomplete. What do we have which is closest to ourselves to investigate? We have ourselves. Discovering the basis of myself, I discover the basis of everything. Who am I? I realize that knowledge is always limited. Beliefs, ideologies, scientific knowledge and philosophy are all limited. I see that knowledge, although limited, has its importance in daily living. But I want to see if it is possible to be free from the state of ignorance. Through real understanding of the limits of knowledge, can there be a quieting of all mental representations - about the Timeless, about phenomena and about myself? I need a great deal of discontent and great passion to investigate this. In the quieting of the limited, does not the infinite present itself? In the quieting of the limited, is there not the natural discovery of the unlimited? In that quietness, isn't what apparently covers the limitless, the timeless, the infinite vastness that is my true nature, and that of everything that exists, removed? Can there be any antagonism in this state? Is there not a perception of unity there? Isn't it what is called "love"? There is no need of beliefs to make this discovery. Beliefs create isolation and antagonisms. The discovery of Truth is infinitely greater than any concept, than any mental construction, than any idea. Who am I? Will I still resort to what is limited to get the answer? Is not my true nature unknowable from the point of view of the intellect? Isn't my true nature infinite, immeasurable, timeless?

[@CharlesGodwin-ck2se]

Reality/Life = That which is/That I am. Life eternally actualizes infinite potential, because only Eternity can fully embrace Infinity. All change for the better begins at the still point of silence - simply being aware of being aware.

Ironically the innermost essence, the Tathagatagarbha, being eternal and not changeable is then the permanent soul or self defying the core tenet of Dependent Origination which the Buddha has taught.🙏

[@katiehorneshaw995]

I would venture one of the reasons the Buddha did not make the distinction is that the changeless trancends all linguistic concepts which might capture its experiential nature, including the notion of whether the state is experienced 'by' whatever remains of the self or whether it is a wholly unified experience. Either way, to assume the changeless represents soul/self is to assume the only way we can experience it is through the soul of self.

buddism is notoriously famous for the nonself concept. i was even rendered speechless when aproached by such a human being. i knew there was something wrong but couldnt say it. i then thought opps i was probably the wring one. now i am clear what is wrong. thanks for your video. so good. this idea is elusive though. some time it is completely gone in my head. so i got remind again and again here and there. but it is a way of being rather than a way of saying. anyways. just be it (like nike's word just do it). so maybe this is the reason why i keep forgetting it. the reminder is prajna and the state is buddha. isnt it weird when you are in the state you forget about the reminder. when you remember the reminder you are out of the state. so i guess keep forgetting is a good thing maybe? i have no idea.

"Self"/"Soul" are one and the same as "Consciousness" ~ and as Dr. Schrodinger stated "The total number of minds in the universe is ONE. In fact "CONSCIOUSNESS" is a singularity phasing within ALL beings."

Our natural world has a balance. We give animals ranks, lion is king etc, lion is in fact egoless, once it gets an ego a big balance gets violated. A wise time tested harmony has been challenged. It does not happen in the natural world, it does happen in human or man realm. Buddha, Christ, Francis of Assisi, all of their kind understand this corruption as begining of hell. They have seen the balance. They understand it well, they celebrate it more than preach it. Buddha says do not be deluded, Christ says open your hearts.
