Does this sense of aliveness has anything to do with 'I' thought?

Postby **MerlinC** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 5:09 am

no it doesnt it has to do with being alive and present. when I stop to notice it I become joyous. but I know what you mean because Im so used to taking a sence of self from my Images I had of myself which seemed so real, I still do that.

the sense of aliveness, being, is not going to disappear. but do you still believe that this sense is I?

Postby **MerlinC** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 5:20 pm

know I dont believe that it comes from a sence of I because the sence of aliveness dosent come from thought it comes from my awareness of my body.

where does awareness of the body come from? if there were no senses, would you know that there is a body? if you close your eyes and feel the space, is there a body? where is it?

awareness of my body comes thru the sences of the body. if I had no body I wouldnt have its sences. I am not aware of anything when I sleep unless Im dreaming.

Interesting, you have a body, as in you own it? Can body still feel and sense without an imaginary owner?

the me is made up of thoughts I dont own anything nether does my thoughts thare just thare. my body feels the feelings thought interprets them as if the thoughts are having them or feeling them but thats not true. thare just sharing the same space.

very nice. what else are you noticing lately? are you ready for the final questions or still digging?

Postby **MerlinC** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 5:26 pm

I'm noticing that all we have and will ever have is the now but thoughts make it not that noticeable because there's always commenting on the future or past. Id say I'm still digging but questions might help me in my navigation.

in that case answer these questions:

is there a me that is a separate self? me that thinks, does and claims all the deeds?
was there ever?

Postby **MerlinC** » Thu Aug 02, 2012 5:18 pm

thoughts may come that are seperate in nature but there not what is. no controler no one thinking its all in the mind. thoughts had me going for a very long time but it was all mind games and it comes with a sense of ah ha that thought is only commenting what is and isnt actualy what is.

What do you mean by thoughts that are separate in nature, can you expand on that?

Are there thoughts that have different nature then others?
What is separation?

Postby **MerlinC** » Sat Aug 04, 2012 5:15 am

Thoughts that are about separation, there are many thoughts but there all thoughts doing what thought does.
The separation I'm talking about is when there is thought about what is and what is actual here that's not a label but true experience.

So is there a self? Was there ever? How do you know?
