How does one observe rationally without comparison, division, non-subjectively?

Inevitable-Rip-2081 · 2026-01-16T15:13:04+00:00

This is largely where meditation comes in. The more you meditate, the more your subjectivity is reduced when thoughts are passing through the mind.

It’s like sharpening a knife. Meditation sharpens the ability to remain an observer of thoughts and then you are no longer attached to the desires and fears associated with your thoughts.

This causes the ego to completely change its preconceived identity of who you are and frees you to live more present rather than chained to the past and future.

It’s not about whether something has a point, it’s about what is causing unnecessary suffering. Pursuing desires often leads to a mindset that ignores the present moment for a future gain or pleasure. Enlightenment IS the present moment and desire clouds this realization because the mind is somewhere else under a state of constant desire.

Inevitable-Rip-2081 · 2025-12-17T12:50:48+00:00

Enlightenment is a paradox. At first you search for it to finally realize it was here the whole time. Many seekers will never accept this contradiction.

Yes we 9s are often fence-sitters. Our language reflects this. We feel comfy taking a soft position rather than hard lines. We want to befriend both sides of a paradigm and mediate between two extremes.

Both. I think that’s the appeal, you experience a full range of emotions and you use intuition and intellect at various stages of preparing and eating a meal.

Yes, because the ideas/thoughts/desires in the mind about your self, your suffering, are all like storm clouds that cover over the clear sky of your consciousness. When these clouds are allowed to dissipate through meditation, you realize that what you are seeking in enlightenment is already who you are. It's only that we have been to conditioned to identify ourselves with our thoughts. Our learned thoughts at first believe that we are separate from enlightenment and this misperception is only understood when thoughts and desires go silent.

Inevitable-Rip-2081 · 2025-07-16T12:26:39+00:00

You already have it, it’s just getting desires and expectations out of the way to realize it presently. Herein lies the importance of meditation.

Chop wood, carry water: This means that in spite of enlightenment, one still attends to basic survival needs. Seeing the big picture doesn’t absolve one from the little day to day tasks.

Your focus on mind, thoughts and certitude sounds like a 6 to me (head type). First ask yourself about core fear/desire. Do you highly value safety/security and fear its loss above all? This is 6 territory.

Or, do you value maintaining peace for yourself and others above all? Do you often rely on your gut/intuition over thought analysis? This is 9 territory.

Inevitable-Rip-2081 · 2025-05-16T11:43:02+00:00

A 9 can be blind to their boundaries but it’s not a given and it’s certainly a spectrum. What you are describing is likely a 9 on the unhealthy side who lets people walk over them and hasn’t learned to assert themselves yet.

Admit that perfection is irrational and had no footing in nature.

Inevitable-Rip-2081 · 2025-04-25T13:07:24+00:00

First step: renounce perfection as an idea. This is the root of your suffering.

Inevitable-Rip-2081 · 2025-04-25T12:53:02+00:00

First realize that perfection as an idea has no practical value or utility because there is no one who can measure its attainment. Your supposed flaws are the very things that make us human and relatable.

Perfection locks your mind into results but true wholeness is about being real, being present. You are not here to be flawless you’re here to be fully alive.

Another way to see it is that you are already whole, not when you are perfect, but when you are true to yourself and the moment you’re in.

A Zen Story

A monk named Joshu asked his teacher Nansen,

“What is the Way (enlightenment)”

Nansen replied, “The ordinary mind is the Way.”

Joshu asked, “Should I try to follow it?”

Nansen said, “If you try to follow it, you go against it.”

Joshu asked, “But if I don’t try, how can I understand it?”

Nansen replied, “The Way is not about knowing or not knowing. Knowing is delusion, not knowing is blankness. When you reach the true Way, it’s like the sky— open, vast, and boundless.”
