This is something I learned from reading through things I don't think it has any relevance...Ali, expand on this.I will still remain the same piece of awareness
What is awareness ?
What is a piece of awareness ?
How does self fit with awareness ?
Is this unchanging ?
The way the actual is investigated is through thought. So how would I go about investigating a self when I am believing that I am investigating? How can I know that investigating is happening without an a self?In the same way the content of the concept 'self' is real but not relating to anything actual. It just appears to, until investigation reveals it to have the same validity as a thought about Santa.
The self is temporary.A self doesn't fit with it and I don't think it is changing.
If you accept that mind (thoughts) are a function of the brain, then investigating happens with intent. Why say that there is a self involved when the I/me/self is clearly also a product of thought ?How can I know that investigating is happening without an a self?
Do you think that it is that ?I is a reference to the human organism which does the thinking?
No the brain thinks. But what if I is referring to the human as a whole is what I'm saying(including the brain)Do you think that it is that ?I is a reference to the human organism which does the thinking?
It's only a referenceBut what if I is referring to the human as a whole is what I'm saying(including the brain)
If you think about it, it's like a "unneeded" habit that's gone unchecked throughout your life...and what we're doing here is finally dealing with the dysfunction and allocation of the thought process, once it's seen for what it is, then the redirecting happens...I find it weird that "I" keeps jumping to a different place lol.
I don't know how to let go of it. I would just be thinking about having no self which does nothing.Good Afternoon...Noob.

This habit if you think about it, takes a lot of unnessesary mental energy to maintain, once you let go of everything that points toward the self a lot of weight naturally falls off your shoulders...
This human organism is the self. It is labelled "I." Thoughts and movements come from the human(self).Can you find evidence for a Self ?
No, the organism is what it is. No organ of self involved.This human organism is the self.
Yes, the organism is labeled "self" or Ali. If you changed your name does the organism change ?It is labelled "I."
No, they come from the organism.Thoughts and movements come from the human(self).
Not unless you want to get put in an insane asylum. But when i look at people now i don't see a self, just a conditioned organism with stories. (the same when i think about 'me') This leads to an outpouring of compassion.I can't just point to someone and say "you don't exist."
