Awareness as a verb. Not a noun. A verb as part of experiencing. An adjective when we talk about it.
Can you see this ?

Would you say that you clearly see through the delusion of an actual self ?


Dear Vince!

Re. verb/noun: Yes absolutely, "Awaring" happens. More and more often. From sitting ...

Awareness as a verb. Not a noun. A verb as part of experiencing. An adjective when we talk about it. Can you see this ?<e>

Would you say that you clearly see through the delusion of an actual self ?

As a parenthesis I must tell you about an event that happened a couple of days ago when driving. Btw, driving (in the countryside) is my best meditative mode. Contemplating "I am", while driving along alone on the road, there suddenly was as a demasking of the whole existence. It was as if the All ...

Just an addendum to last post:

When I am Aware (and that is by no means always the case)...

What I mean is that Awareness is always there but not in the foreground.

When you are experiencing, do you experience an experiencer ? Do you experience something experienced ?


Dear Vince! Here comes a new try to dive into the realm of words.

Experiences are dissolving all the time. It is all fleeting. When I am Aware (and that is by no means always the case) there ...

Give me your take on this question; What is the actuality with an experiencer experiencing the experienced?

Dear Vince,

This seemingly (for the me/mind) complex event can from another view point - in awareness - be seen as One whole. In fact, all there is - Life in this present moment. And ...

Oh dear, didn't get a notice from the server on your answer so had to check, and sure,there was one! Late now, deal with it asap.

Give me a paragraph on Meaning, on Purpose and Responsibility.

Hi Vince!

"Meaning" in the sense "meaning of life" is a story that the mind makes up, often to find a "purpose" or put up with "life". There is no inherent "meaning" in this, what is referred to as life. Mind has no limits in the ...

Here's one; What is your current belief(s) about the existence of a Self ? What is it ? How does it work ?

No, what i wanted is the Self that you pointed to when you referred to "Me, I, Mine, My, etc"
Not a theory about it, but the actual daily life referencee.

Hi! Sorry for messing up. Here´s ...

Here's one; What is your current belief(s) about the existence of a Self ? What is it ? How does it work ?


If I understand your "Self" correctly is the "Self" a relative to here/now or awareness. It is the indestructible grain of the Absolute, the Unmanifested, God, Brahman or whatever we want ...

Here's one; What is your current belief(s) about the existence of a Self ? What is it ? How does it work ?

I´m not sure what the term "Self" points at. Have a quote from Wiki here:
Two types of self are commonly considered - the self that is the ego, also called the learned, superficial self of ...

Dear Vince!

What will happen with our conversation? I can´t think of any questions just now, but I´m sure there will be..

Birdman with gratitude

Ha. This would suggest that you are appreciating wonder-full-ness.
Yes, and it is all very new and fresh. It is like a love story. When the Sirens have enchanted me, to find that true rest in this awareness (here/now) is all that remains. Stillness, quiet when the "me" gets put in place, sometimes ...

Dear Vince!

Hope it is ok to contact you again although I have mostly run out of words, not much to say really... No idea how to begin. I think I have let them behind to some extent. I find myself with a rather silly smile more than often. Ego and thoughts come and go. It is as Joan T. put it "And ...

Dear Vince!

Thank you for your patience and sharing your wisdom. I think I will stop here as all is getting more and more complicated instead of imagined the other way around. I also wonder about all the effort, almost cramp, in doing thinking, doing trying to understand, doing letting go... I ...
