Hey Allen,
Another terrific post - thank you!
. What is it exactly (entity/thing) that is seeing?
Do the body’s eyes see?
Can you find anything behind the eyes that are seeing?
seeingcolor happens.just a thought appears claiming entity. So seeingcolor happening and thoughts happening.entity/thing is a thought appearing as is remembering a thought.no eyes r a story. seeing happens without eyes(like dream or thought image) wait image is... crap confused.Seeing color happens.dream and thought image same thing only thoughtappearing.hard one last question.eyes r thought appearing as AE.hmmm....cant verify eyes as AE
Yes, eyes are a thought story! It is believed that ‘visual sight’ and ‘mental images’ are coming from the eyes, because when it's investigated the attention automatically goes to the sensation 'of the eyes', and at the same time the image 'of the eyes' appear with it.
So another SENSE of self is linked to the sensation 'of the eyes'.
What are the eyes in the actual experience?
A sensation + a mental image, right?
Can sight come from a sensation?
Can sight come from an image (of the eyes)?
Can a 'mental image' come from a sensation?
Can a 'mental image' come from another mental image (of the eyes)?
. How is it known that the waking state is different to the sleeping state?
What is it exactly that goes to sleep?
no difference cant be known as different inAE.crap there is really no diff.what would know that as it appears.only a thought story appearingto claim diff.
Sleep is a story.cant be known only a thought arising in AE
Yes, so the story ABOUT sleep is known, but there is no one/no thing that is going to sleep or sleeping! It is only thought that says that a period of time went by when sleeping!
What evidence is there that what is called ‘darkness’ (sleeping) happens for a period of time?
Silence is no different to sound. Only thought says some 'thing' isn't there. Darkness is just a colour, like any other, no different from light. Thought labels darkness as the absence of some 'thing' but it is no less knowingknown than light is. Empty space is no different to solid matter, it is still a some 'thing', not a lack of some 'thing'. What an illusion, that something could be missing, that something could be empty, that experience is never aware!
. Does experience have a location?
If it does, where, exactly, is it located?
crap crap location is a thought story. Still looking.without labels ,cant find a location exactly.even if i say body i cant find exactly where.no no body colorthoughtimage
Yes! Can colour feel a sensation? Is colour aware of anything? Does colour know anything about a location? Does sensation know anything about a location?
Thought labels ‘colours’, ‘sensations’ etc (cold/hot/pressure etc) as a body - but no actual body is present. Thought does this with *everything* that seems to exist and to create the 'person in the world' illusion.
Notice what is actually present in this image. Thought says it's a cartoon character called Bart Simpson, but all that's *actually* there is yellow, red, blue, white, black. There is *no* Bart present in the image at all.
Can you see that Bart is 100% just a story? The body is a story in the same way.
Also notice that the thing which thought claims is your body doesn't even have a head. Can you find a head?
Where exactly did all of that happen?
Where was experience located?
Was experience of pain located in the thumb?
Was experience of images located at the thumb and hammer?
Or is experience always "closer" than even the word "here" can convey?
Does anything actually have a location?
How would you know?
What would count as evidence of actual location?.
want to say awareness in head. and that is a story. thumb is color. pain is sensation appearing period as AE crap crap whole thing is thoughtcolorsensationsound. no actual location. image of throbbing pain in thumb hmmm....thoughtsensation is all maybe color AE. No. experience of images just appearing.experience absolutly it. crazy yes emediate .getting harder to believe in denial thoughts appearing. believed by what exactly hmmm......
No actual location and cant" know "if no location exists as AE
Yes, exactly! Nice LOOKING!
What is the difference between ‘believing’ and ‘not believing’?
I can’t remember if I have given you this exercise or not! But it won’t do any harm to do it again if I have!
It is generally believed that thoughts are coming from the head somewhere around the forehead. When we try to trace back the origin of a thought, it is often believed that it's coming from the forehead, because the attention automatically goes to the sensation of the forehead. Investigate this carefully as often as you can throughout the day.
What is the forehead in the actual experience?
A sensation + a mental image (of a forehead), right?
So, can a thought come from a sensation?
Can a thought come from a mental image?
Have a very deep look here... the forehead is one of the 'residence' of the SENSE of self. Or rather say, the sensation that is labelled as forehead is believed to be one of the location of the sense of self.
. Is there an inside or an outside of the body?
If there is an inside: inside of what exactly?
If there is an outside: the outside of what exactly?
inside of body is a thought.outside of bodyis crap body is colorthoughtimage.sensation AE color is AE.body is thought story.seems very persistant thought.inside /outside is story
Yes…Body is a thought story….nice LOOKING!
And yes, the story ABOUT the body seems to be very persistent, and it is a story that will seemingly remain persistent! :) Is there an author of thought?
Love, Kay
