Sorry, for me not enough. If we are pure universal consciousness Help me to understand... When I am conscious (say) about somerhing, about my body, environment, sound, thought... How to distinguish it is not just another thought? I am aware, I feel sensation, I know I can observe my mind, my thoughts in third place, but isn't it just another thought about the previous one which happens just in a fraction of a microsecond after. We know that our body works on electricity, our mind spends it too. We know the brain is capable for super fast processing but we also know 2 thoughts cannot be at exactly same time. Help me to distinguish the water surface exists and it is not only surfing.

[@costcoexecutivemember]

@@goranmancevski5550how could a thought / object be aware in and of itself? There is no sentience to anything beyond its awareness; that which is aware of the thought is awareness itself and that can apparently take on objectivity, and yet the whole time it’s still “awareness.” Nothing could be without your awareness / be-ing. To know some “thing” there would have to be a thing-less awareness that has capacity to appear as separate objects. You as awareness are convinced of the opposite and demand proof from that paradigm. But the paradigm has to be investigated and then one sees it never was. A thought could never observe another thought as there is nothing to thought beyond awareness…so you are the proof, thinking you are thinking. Easier said: the proof is that something “knows” thinking, or is having the opposite “object less” experience which allows for the capacity of thinking. Whatever that is must be what you are as it allows for objects to come and go but itself cannot be objectified Growth is not by adding new knowledge but removing falsity ❤

[@nocaption5562]

I get all the awareness thing. I felt it first hand in deep meditation. What I struggle with is how this leap is made of "ok I'm awareness, others also have it....BOOOOM it must be the SAME awareness". This is something we don't know. For all we know we can be a temporary experience of a higher self which also has a higher self and this one also has one and you get it. If I am the direct source of anything then why can't I shift my awareness to anything? There is astral projection, yet this is limited to a limited consciousness it seems, people have widely different experiences yet they all fall somewhere near each other making it more plausable that we are an individuated consciousness that evolves untill we are one with the all. Astral projection works via the non dualism awareness structure where you shift your awareness to another reality thaz feels just as real as this one does. Then again, who do we always default back to this earth experience if what we are is an awareness and not some sort of intelligent consciousness that projected here in the first place? Animism and all nature worldview are based on non dualism meaning that everything is one and connected. That's why there are nature gods, concepts yes but basically nothing else but nature beings. Imo non dualism takes the first layer or truth and runs with it without further investigation. I do not think we are the ultimate source, because our imagination while shifting awareness is limited.

[@AlexShailer]

I get you. However, you're saying you cannot know, when your very assumption that it's NOT the same is an intellectual abstraction. All that you've ever experienced is this consciousness, which is all everyone else has ever experienced too. This universal presence of pure beingness is a fundemental presence before intellectual abstraction about others possessing something separate. If you are infinite, why could you not appear to yourself as someone who can't currently shift your awareness to everything?

[@nocaption5562]

@@AlexShailer very good response thank you, it actually helped me. I had the self realization once in nature recently and it felt blissful and emotional. After that I reverted back to, no this can't be it. I think what I and most people on a more spiritual path struggle between is whether our personality and memories transcend "physical" death or whether they do not. Then again one can say they exist within the one mind so they can neither be lost nor found. Quick question: is consciousness and awareness interchangeable? Because what we normally identify with consciousness is our personality and memories among others. Idk what to think yet. Time will tell. Great video tho, simple in a good way and awareness provoking.

[@lanle5820]

Thanks so much for your enlightening Video

[@franciscocarvalho5680]

I am doing a paper on: Am I a body, or do I have a body. Could you clarify your perspective on the removal of the mind? You state that mental images and imagination can all be categorised as thinking. You state that between two thoughts there is no removal of you. What I understood from that is when you stop thinking, what you are, or your consciousness doesn't disappear. Nevertheless, between two thoughts, we are still thinking; we can never truly stop thinking; perhaps when we are asleep, we stop, but if we categorise imagination and creativity into thinking, our dreams are us thinking. On another point you question yourself about if we stopped thinking altogether we would still be 100% you, but if you have no memories of the past and of yourself, how are you, you? After this, I started questioning how we can categorise (if even) what is "you" and what makes us "us". I cannot understand how you can remove your mind and still be "you." As a final remark, I liked your video, and this is not in any way an attack on your video; it is simply me asking for some clarification on a point you made. Cheers, and keep up the excellent work.

[@MyRatingsMakesSense]

I keep hearing people say you are not either but if that’s the case then my big question is then why would awareness attach to this body. Even if I realize that I’m not the body, I still have to use these assigned eyes to see things…just can’t get away from your assigned piece of meat. If one is truly flowing consciousness then they should be able to see things from whatever perspective the awareness is focused on.

[@AlexShailer]

Awareness or consciousness appears as the body and the world for the sake of manifestation. As the creator, you have created a dream in which it feels as if you are limited, that's how powerful the creation is. We ARE seeing that awareness is "focused on" as in: We are seeing our own unique windows onto the one true self as consciousness.

[@Rocio-wy2eg]

What's your opinion on Solipsism? Because how can one awareness have so many points of view at the same time? If time doesn't exist, and in the present time I see through my eyes, then this must be the only experience. And other people are not conscious. In a dream, there's one dreamer, not many.

[@savageafmusic]

@@Rocio-wy2eg I had an experience that kind of showed me why im not god. I had a situation where the part of my mind that I call "me" fell into the background of my head, as in I knew I was still me but I couldnt control my body parts, they were acting autonomously. I got freaked out because I felt like my body was going to do something that would get me in trouble such as wreck my car or hurt itself. I was litterally begging to be back in control. This went on for some time, and then I started being able to see multiple timelines of the way the present could go. Ill give you an example to better explain: If you asked me to take out the trash. I could see your response to me saying no, and yes at the same time, and I was ACTUALLY answering to all timelines because I couldn't tell which one was real, because to me they were all real. Again, I (the socially acceptable mental behavioral side) was still intact but could only observe... so I knew what I looked like to "the real world" i.e to everyone else. I knew id look like i had schizophrenia, because i was providing answers to timelines that they couldn't see.

[@savageafmusic]

I think we are all just HERE. I dont think we have a purpose at all, but at the same time, I think that we don't have the capacity (at least without training and drugs) to be able to SEE what our actual purpose is.

[@neosugarland7682]

I like your explanation on us being pure consciousness, not the body or the mind. But what happens to our consciousness when we close our eyes and sleep ? Or consciousness when we die ?

[@AlexShailer]

Consciousness is infinite, but can appear to itself as the experience of a particular body and mind through which a world is known. It's like a focusing of itself into itself seen from a particular perspective. In sleep or the death of the body, its focus disperses and experience of that particular body, world, and time disappears. But consciousness is still primary, and a particular localization of consciousness may re-focus again. Perhaps into a new body in the same world (eg. reincarnation), or another world (like the 'astral plane' or another reality), or perhaps something beyond our imagination. That's my guess.

[@benji-5796]

But nothing of us moves on so it’s eternity of no thing, never to experience consciousness again after physical death, if of course you are in belief of that like zen Buddhists and non dualists…. Personally, I question why people would want to follow such a thing, even having a blind faith is better than being reminded that you are going to be completely annihilated upon physical death. What’s even worse is some non dualists actually laugh over it. Alrightyyyy then 🤷‍♂️

[@Busabuck100]

Alex, have you viewed the movie Revolver ? If so, your thoughts ?

[@pedroba76]

A question: I agree with everything you say, and ""I"" reached similars conclusions one day by thinking to ""myself""about this reasoning. But What about the claim that experienced meditators and gurus make, that there is an ""observation"", an experience, an awareness of an observer behind our thoughts and emotions, that with enough practice of meditation, we can observe our thoughts and emotions as merely spectators, and not identify with it? Is this ""spectator"" a part of us, is this a form of ""self"", or "me"? A person made me remind about this yesterday, she said that the she believes that there is some kind of observer hidden in the mind, something that maybe is beyond scientifical explanation, and this made my thoughts confused, since it seems to go against the very idea of non-duality, althought the same meditators who preach Enlightment, also teach this.

[@pedroba76]

Maybe my question is something that cannot be answered by reasoning alone, since reasoning requires thought?

[@Wacky-World]

EXPERIENCE ONE: I sitting in my car, was without thought, without senses, just being, not aware of anything, not even the silence, and then, suddenly, I was conscious of ME looking down at myself, and realized I was not out of my body, but rather that my body was big, very big, way through the roof of my car. As soon as I became conscious of my body being way larger than ever before, my etheric less physical body shrunk and I slammed back into my physical body. EXPERIENCE TWO: I was in space. It was cool. Then I noticed I had an etheric less physical body, and upon noticing that, I slammed back into my physical body. EXPERIENCE THREE: I was in space, and when I noticed I was without etheric body I had time to actually think, “Wow, I don’t need a body and I still exist,” and then I slammed back into my body. “I am not my body, mind, and emotions,” says my ego-mind. Awareness or “pure” consciousness smiles at my ego-mind that is so desperate it will go to babbling absurdity trying to disprove its own existence in order to prove (using its thoughts) that it doesn’t exist, and that only awareness or “pure” consciousness exist. “That’s so cute,” says Awareness or “pure” Consciousness, using my ego mind to so express. EGO vs. EGO...HELL OF A RIDE. GO FOR EXPERIENCES-AND HAVE THEM-AND “PROVE” THE TRUTH THAT YOU ARE NOT JUST YOUR BODY, MIND, EMOTIONS. Experience is somewhat more reliable than words. (Nem.

Hello Alex (or any one else wishing to reply), what are the implications of this discovery? "Negative" thoughts and patterns, and (intense & "dark") emotions still come to you. "Bad" things can and will still happen to you (or "in" you). I feel sometimes it is a trap to just believe I am That and then proclaiming all these difficult things are not affecting me. I both cases, these phenomena still affect you on a relative level. I'm not sure whether or not it is necessary to know I am That or still 'believe' I am a person with a body & mind to let go of everything. Cannot I let go of everything AND still be a person? I'm not sure these things are mutually exclusive. All the best, Maik

[@BrianHyde-e6x]

Mick, no we "don't let go of everything" and like you said "you cannot and still be a person", we have an incarnation for which created and for which we are responsible. This incarnation serves our soul's evolution. We are evolving within consciousness. Creation comes with a cost--imperfection--limitation, yet that's the very thing we have chosen in order to evolve. We are in charge of our destiny, both divine and human.

[@JohnnyJazzFreak]

Thanks for the video. I'm investigating non-duality. However, I do have a problem with your mind analogy. You posit the idea that we, our self, is not the mind, and you ask the question 'what happens between two thoughts. Are you still you? Or suppose you could never think another thought. Would you still be you? Firstly, thoughts that arise do not arise randomly without an owner, without one to whom those thoughts arise. A thought that was not MY thought or anybody's thought would make no sense. Thoughts are generated, but they are generated by a thinker. A thought is not the thinker, a thought is not the mind itself, but it is the activity of the mind, an intrinsic property of it. It is the mind or self, this center of consciousness, that seems to be the seat of thoughts. Thoughts are not some disembodied entities that float off into the ether, orphaned or divorced from their owner. This makes no sense to me. Now you could argue that the mind IS the underlying awareness that gives rise to thinking and the thinker, the very condition for it, or that in the wider ambit, this mental awareness is ultimately infinite awareness that has been stepped down and limited by the body. But to say that you are not the mind or not the thinker has to be more than a little misleading. Without fundamental awareness there would be no mind. We may be bigger than we think we are, but how is this concrete thinking mind not the more limited center of consciousness that is a reflection of universal consciousness? Even when when we are not thinking, we are still the self who thinks, are we not? As selves, we can quiet the activity of the thinker, which is to think, but that does not mean we are not the thinker, not the mind. I think using two separate terms for mind vs. pure consciousness creates a false distinction that refers to essentially the same thing. The thinker can decide to think or not to think, as in meditation. Who is meditating but the thinker? The one who actively decided to meditate or think about meditating. To my understanding, the definitions of mind, self, and consciousness all refer to the same thing, all refer to the single center of consciousness who thinks, the self-aware thinker. How not? As for if we never thought another thought ever again, would we still be a self? Under anaesthesia, the self disappears completely. It might be argued that the self is still present during anaesthesia and that you just don't remember. Well, if you, as an abiding eternal self continued, then why would there be any memory loss, any gap in awareness. You were out. You were gone. As for never thinking another thought, crash victims in a coma are in that state. Yet we have no evidence that they are still conscious. That's not evidence against consciousness, but just that there isn't any evidence for it. I just think that with the available terminology, there is a lot of linguistic confusion here.

[@AlexShailer]

The irony is my friend, that you are stuck in thought with this. The whole point of my analogy is to point beyond the mind. Don't like my analogy? Think it's a crappy pointer? Fine. I'm not always perfect. But there's no point arguing the point. Go beyond the point. Go beyond thought into the depth of who you are as consciousness. There you will find your answer. Not in trying to analyse and argue the technicalities of self or no self. Look beyond these concepts my friend. Peace.

Although it seems like it, awareness isn't "tied down" to the body. The body appears as awareness, like a body appears on a screen.

@@AlexShailer I get that I'm aware of the body, therefore I'm not the body, but awareness Is all there is, so howcome this body, almost like all the evidence is pointing that the awareness is coming from the body, otherwise I would be aware of other bodies too and basically whatever I choose to as awareness is supposedly not local. There's still this identity thing. I guess you touched on it too, for the Infinite wants to know itself. I just wana be only the Infinite I guess. How can I ever not feel lack in the current state. Death would get rid of the body and then theres just be awareness, why go through this. If I'm actually Infinite awareness not the body then why not cut to the chase and drop the body. Just not sure what the Infinite had in mind with this, it's not fun but burdensome, don't see how it serves evolution if we are not material to begin with.

Thats a good one not sure where is it pointing to tho, almost wana say its all around me. Like I am the body is dead already and the external awareness trying to wake it up by whatever means 😄.. whether I flow or resist is up to me and the conditioning of the mind. Anyway interesting video I've just been wondering about this kind of stuff
