Most of these experiences are flying over my head although I have convinced myself I understand them conceptually. I enjoyed that, because it knocked loose some of the framework of my personal expectations. This sort of conversation felt extremely valuable, even from a place of not being able to relate to it.

Yes. [12:44] the ego trying to play the last ace up it's sleeve. ♠️ Screaming "no, I am here, I am significant, believe in me!" But then 🪦, and true letting go occurs, without any doer or doing: the freedom to truly let /everything/ be as it already is and relax into pure spontaneous existence 😌 🙏 beautifully simple 🤭

This video has been immensely helpful. I've recently found everything to have quiet down a lot and at times the simplicity of it completely takes everything in and there is nothing but that and this complete satisfaction arises that seems to just be what everything is made of, but then sometimes thoughts arise that are still looking for something, alan watts used to call it the golden goodie, it's like seeking wants to continue because "this" is not good enough yet. And in a way life will continue to create new emotions, new situations, but it can never be more than what it is. And there is almost a disappointment there that it's this simple.

"As Bankei says over and over again, the unborn mind is immediate. You just hear the bird, you just taste the ice cream. A moment of hearing consciousness or a moment of taste consciousness arises. This is the moment of mind before we conceptualize an experience, before we make a narrative about the experience, before we produce notions of self and other, before we evaluate as desirable or undesirable. This is, as Bankei puts it, Buddha mind. What good is this immediate unborn mind? This mind is free of suffering. Having an experience of unborn mind, let's us know we aren't trapped in the fabricated, reified or “born” mind of words and concepts. " "One might think, “well if an experience of unborn mind is good, wouldn't it be better to abide in the unborn all the time?” The answer is no. First, that kind of attitude implies a certain grasping of trying to make such an experience “permanent”. Trying to cling to the unborn mind, like any other clinging, will lead to suffering. Second, experiencing unborn mind is like taking medicine. It is a cure for delusion. We create delusion all the time. However, through an experience of the unborn mind, we realize our delusions are delusions. Then, in some sense, there are no longer delusions."

I think I heard in him almost sense of disappointment about how things are just about hands and floors? It might just be my projection though. But personally, the experience also doesn't sound so appealing to be honest. No meaning, no context, and not even someone there to enjoy being awakened. Maybe I'm just freaking out s bit because I have glimpses of this non-dual no-self experience myself these days. But I don't see the point in all of it. Why would reality go through all this ego illusion stuff to end up at floors and hands? Where or what is god? Where does love come into play? I'm a bit afraid now that in the core reality is disappointing. I know there won't be anyone to be disappointed anymore,but still. I always had intuitions about profound love and peace at the heart of reality, not sights and smells.

:) Def can feel scary before it shows up or if it is resisted passively/actively. Maybe a helpful analogy could be Do you need to say, think or feel "I am seeing" for sight to reach the eyes, hit the brain and form and image? Do you need to say, think or feel "I enjoy icecream" for taste to hit the mouth, reach the brain and have the effect it does? Maybe that helps to relax the idea of losing the someone who enjoys 😉

It can be disappointing ins certain way, but only to the sense that there should be something to "win the game." when it's clear that there is nothing/noone there then all that is left is a paradoxical profound peace/natural enjoyment. It's a transition period. The illusion of Identity runs deep.

These videos make my experience seem so far away from the reality of it all. Still sorting through life situations and coping with all of the minds perceptions of what to do and how to handle things. It makes me feel like what I’m dealing with is quite trivial to the whole and only significant to “me” it’s an odd feeling.

Consciousness has a centre right? I may not be able to fund anything behind the eyes, but it's a focal point, and it hasn't always been there, which fits in with being born. The outlook is infinite, but it's existence appears to be limited.
@siddharth9 Жыл бұрын
This apparent centre in consciousness is creating so much of this trouble. It is easily missed because it is sitting in the middle and referencing everything that occurs. I have only recently begun to question it. When some experience occurs the attention habitually collapses around. That collapse gives this sense of the centre. It does need not happen but has become a habit.

The organism creates a model of reality and a residual self image(RSI) of itself. Due to the dynamic nature of reality the model and RSI have to be updated and modified. Before the new RSI and Model is "installed " and after the old RSI has been modified/ deleted , there is a brief gap , where the organism has no model or RSI , these gaps though brief and subtle , accumulate over time and are experienced by the organism as glimpses of awakening.

Could it not be fair to say that there was not even someone there to care about even 'THIS'? Does one's nature start with 'THIS' or Awareness? Why do you even need to say that the tendencies play themselves out over time? That is not the best of pointers.

This is a very deep stage realization pointing. Very few people I interact with have realized what he is already realized. It’s easy to miss what we’re talking about here and especially easy to interpret it through earlier aspects of realization (such as realization of one mind which is what you’re referring to).
