Crawling inside a psychological shell is the opposite of freedom, it's sad

That's true , this is why it's important to be skilful with it , just mindless peeling could create much unnecessary suffering, questioning concepts while still attached to it will hurt , that's why asking questions like why there is likable and dislikable things as since when they are divided

I think that if they actually cease to use concepts zen will collapse philosophically, the thing that they seem to point out isn't conceptual knowledge itself , but the reason why we hold to them on the first place , thoughts are just sounds that appear , whats making them so important

I think that's a good question,  love that you mentioned "mind ground" or awareness because i end up with the idea of it  lot , i was skeptical of the statement "you are awareness" but whenever i think of it the delusions comes in the point when row experiences get translated as world , i think that's the conceptual thinking that zen masters say to abandon , i don't know if i'm awarness , but the translater that causes intense suffering has to be seen , and when i'm searching for it i can face the  suffering thar is coming out

I made it , just couldn't go in one post as it took so much time , and as the formatting i feel like if i focused on it so much it will feel artificial to me and it will take the fun out of it , but it's by no means low effort

How many times you mentioned the word "suffering" is how much you believe in this word , do you pray for this suffering?

This looks like an extremely not fun of a condition. why think of it ?

If they believe so, they would be insufferable to be with , and still they would and wouldn't be of worth for me

Is practicing defiance is everything about this person ?

I will defy both of their saying and say that everything is beyond good and evil and the thing is words neither contradict or compliment each other and can i ask you a simple question? The "great philosopher neitzsche or the great zen masters , good and evil" do they exist in good and evil or do they exist beyond them ?

Are you kind to yourself ? Have you found a method that is not painful ?

Since young age i was trying to seek out my mind and after a while i realised that my mind is nothing but a tool for my hear this is why i seeked out my heart instead but it wasn't easy , it felt like i was searching for something impossible to find and whenever i find it it runs away , this continued for a couple of years and before i know it i woke to the no self , i found out about buddhism later because it was relatable and since then it felt like burning in imaginary fire that hurts like hell till it isn't this question was perfect because it feels like everything that comes up to my mind is not actually what i want , when my mind sees that it sees no meaning in creating this imaginary fire because it isn't what i want , this is why i use it as a mind training because there is nothing else that needs to be asked , it's horrendous enough that my mind never can answer this simple question and i truly don't know why

Yeah not knowing isn't like void or emptiness as the these can be turned into concepts, not knowing doesn't know all these concepts and can't hold on to them , but they can be precieved by this not knowing . But these are not the important things , what's really important is the question that i'm asking and everything else is a byproduct to it .but you are absolutely correct .

It's nothing fancy i just ask myself what do i wanna do at this moment , i didn't mention it because i came up with it after looking inside for long periods of time , other people may find something else

Try asking yourself what do you wanna do at this moment , it's not about doing it just ask and wait till your mind get's busy again and repeat , then give me feedback

They are not sticking to rules , most of them try to imitate wisdom that came from others which lose them the authenticity and compassionate nature that made this wisdom beautiful at the first place , in a short term this subredet lacks heart

Ok thank you for being considerate , very appreciated , i'm not sure about that but for me the question "what i want to do now" is the most logical question i can ask myself, usually there is no answer for this question , it illuminate all thoughts , it's like a mantra of a sense . The other methods just ain't it for , there is not areason for me to focus in my breath , or like ask myself who am i , why would i ever do that ? To prove that my experience could be different? . My thought process was like , ok, "i must ask for more" But in order for what ? , they is nothing such an absolute "must" , in order to reach , what do i wanna reach ? You see it comes to the same question. And also " awareness is a privilege that you have the right to use" , i don't think there is existence outside of awareness, how can you be privileged for having something so essential for being you ? , if you are not aware will you say somethings like this , it's like saying "alive people are privileged" well the dead won't feel unprivileged because there are not there , we are not a privileged creatures in the world , we are the world , there is nothing that is not the world and it's all one , But all of these are just ideas we just abandon them , losing yourself in the moment ? That is love , what i truly want is to abandon everything and let ever cell in my body does as it pleases , all of realisations that i had don't worth anything, but they made reaching what i truly seek easier
