Re: The One That Became Zero

It’s all (ALL) right there in the field of awareness which is “me” (but not “me”).
As I mentioned specifically in the parenthesis, this “awareness” is certainly not “me” – meaning that there’s no identification with it. Putting it simply, "awareness" is, "I" is not.
But at the same time, when I ...

Re: The One That Became Zero

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No. Nothing has ever existed separate from anything else.
It’s all just a BIG-WHOLE-ONE. None of it is “I”, "me", or “self”.
And also, in a weird sense, it’s ALL me (unbounded).

2 ...

Re: The One That Became Zero

If so, I would like to give you the final questions to look if there is something missing... :)
Sure, please go ahead.

Re: The One That Became Zero

2. Then open your eyes and look in the mirror while still paying attention to the sensations.
Is there a connection between the perceived sensations and the image in the mirror? Or just thoughts (and/or mental images) that suggest that?

3. While still paying attention to the sensations, move one ...

Re: The One That Became Zero

Where can this sense of self be found? What of it can really be felt in the body, and what of it is thought content?
All of it is ultimately “felt”/”believed” in the “thought” only. Just a narrative inside the brain/mind.

Can you tell how big the body is?
No. Not through just sensations. Not ...

Re: The One That Became Zero

Thanks to your exercise, got to eat grapes today! (My mother would be so proud of me, and thankful to you if she knew you made me do it :P )

Following are some observations:

Thoughts are nothing but inner monologue - full of words, labels, and concepts.
At best, they lead to misappropriations – as ...

Re: The One That Became Zero

I would love to explore some ideas with you via PN... :)
What is “PN”?

Is it true that there is always thought before decisions?
Not always. In hand-raising-exercise that we did, there was.
May be because everything was really drilled down to in it.
Generally, decision happens (almost as if ...

Re: The One That Became Zero

I thought we were just exploring these ideas together.

That's why I said in the beginning:
For the sake of asking these questions – will revert to being "me". (Would appreciate if you do the same as well.)
And at the end:
So I'm requesting you, for the sake of my curiosity (just for this once ...

Re: The One That Became Zero

It's not about eternal bliss or happyeverafter. There will always be pleasure and pain, but it's all about perspective.
We're on the same page here already.

If one has really seen through the illusion then a not existing ego cannot take over anymore.
When one's "born", before "language" happens ...

Re: The One That Became Zero

Is there something you want to explore together?
Yes. There are a few questions. Want to explore these with you.
Would like to know your thoughts/perspective on these.
For the sake of asking these questions - will revert to being "me". (Would appreciate if you do the same as well.)

Re: The One That Became Zero

Do I understand you right, that you have clearly seen that separate "I" is just an illusion?
True.

Is there a hearer, separated from hearing and what is heard?
No. Just hearing happening.

Where does listening happen?
In the "field of experience" (awareness, or consciousness - whatever one ...

Re: The One That Became Zero

We ("you" and "I") are communicating. This necessitates the use of a shared language (English in this case).
All the words and symbols, in any language (including mathematics, and all kinds of sciences), are simply concepts that we (human beings) have created to make communication easier. Ironically ...

Re: The One That Became Zero

I was almost worried there for a moment that you were not gonna be able to keep your schedule today.
And you replied right when I was thinking about you... :) Weird coincidence.

Can you find such a thing like „mind“? What is mind, what of mind can be seen-heard-felt?
There's nothing like "mind ...

Re: The One That Became Zero

1. Where do thoughts come from and where do they go? Look curiously at the next thoughts.
Thoughts don't come from, or go, anywhere.
A thought just appears in the mind. And then it isn't there anymore. (replaced by a brief silence or next thought)
It always is part of a thought-stream, with only ...
