Re: Assistance with true awakening

Can thoughts do things, think, etc.?
Thoughts can't do anything, a thought of wanting something to be different can arise.

It’s just a thought ABOUT wanting; not that the thoughts have desires, right?
Yeah, thoughts have no self essence or anything. Thoughts just arise as they do about whatever ...

Re: Assistance with true awakening

What has changed and what hasn’t in normal everyday living. What changes? What stays the same?
DE is more prevalent instead of attention being more focused on just the thoughts. The relationship to sensations and thoughts changed, concepts were seen as thoughts. The sensations/thoughts arising ...

Re: Assistance with true awakening

Making me go out on a cold day that's for sure lol

Is there anything that is separate from everything else?
No, separation is thought. The immediate moment is not separate.

Is there a border that divides “me” and “my body” from everything else, or is it just a thought?

It's thought. Division ...

Re: Assistance with true awakening

So, what makes the sensations to appear? What makes seeing to appear?
There isn't anything to find, things are just happening/appearing.

No, outside of this immediacy is thought telling the ...

Re: Assistance with true awakening

Is the sense of self the sixth sense (seventh if you count thought)?
The "sense of self" is just an idea, a thought. There's seeing, feeling, hearing, the sense of self is another thought.

Do you agree?
Yes.

So what makes the “sense of self” different form a thought/an abstraction?
Nothing ...

Just in case you start dropping Awareness, Consciousness, Brahman, etc.(which are all concepts by the way), there is a video that you might find interesting:

Can you tell if there is a being or just being?
There's just the being.

Is that “aliveness” any kind of object or subject? Is it even a human?
It feels like a subject here.

Is it what you've taken as "you"?
Yes.

Is that ...
