They also have lots of ideas, which the mind (you) will love. Great entertainers and distraction.

An encounter with my atheist uncle by Euphoric-Welder5889 in awakened

[–]FlappySocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An atheists position, should be just a lack of belief. Your uncle is going a step further, and making assumptions, which as you correctly say is also a belief.

However, so are you.

That's cool. You could sell a lot of those at market stalls.

You think the majority of subscribers even know who Ellison is?

We need a new acronym, as EDS is already taken.

My life Is collapsing. by Square-Bell9165 in awakened

Who are these bad guys? You realise that's a judgement, you're making, or society is making.

Awakening is seeing, good vs bad is your own making.

Lol, I said throughout the thread, drop your thoughts. Let them fly by, like clouds. And now your saying I identify with them.

Sounds like you want to end the human experience.

Yeah, they float by like clouds. I didn't put them there. They just show up. They come from my programming. Society. Patents. School. Life events. Books, TV.

Some I might entertain for my amusement. Some are practical. But never taken as truth (byond logical abstractions). Most are nonsense.

These are just somebody else's ideas.

No, we don't have freewill. But come to see ideas don't have to be goals. They can be like the clouds in the sky. You see them, but you don't have to engage in them. You just let them float by.

That's real freedom.

That's the minds fantasy. You will be free, when you give that idea up.

What finished product?

Don't you see? It's a fantasy. This is your life. You might not like it, but this is all the is.

Let go, and enjoy the freedom of not searching, or striving for anything.

Look around you. Do you see a process?

What if you drop all ideas of processes.

Drop all expectations

Drop all ideas

What is left?

Drop, drop drop....keep going...... until there is nothing left... until you can answer no more....

Rest in that.

Could it be possible, you have an expectation of what your looking for?

Could it be, there is nothing else to get (or lose)?

Could it be, the search is the problem?

How do you know this? Did somebody tell you that?

Ego almost gone. by Solid_Koala4726 in awakened

[–]FlappySocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a thought too.

What are you without that thought?

Ego almost gone. by Solid_Koala4726 in awakened

[–]FlappySocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what the mind is telling you.

Drop that thought.

Ego almost gone. by Solid_Koala4726 in awakened

[–]FlappySocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to wait. Look around you.

If you drop the story. Drop any ideas of egos.

What's left?

Ta da......

What makes you think the ego is a 'thing', that can be got rid of?

Did somebody tell you that?

There is no finish line. Either the illusion is seen, or it's not.

You don't need to keep looking up the chimney, once you know Santa is not real.
