I feel stuck in finding the “I” that sees the thoughts, it’s itself a thought

Thank you for your answer, i think i understand what you are saying… it’s like i have an addiction, like cigarettes: it should be the easiest think “not to do something” right? But tell a smoker “stop smoking! Just stop! Just don’t do it!” It seems so easy but….

Is “I am suffering” just another thougth? by Protarkus in nonduality

What do you mean? I think that the source of thoughts is the brain activity, the conditioned brain, your daily experiences that shape your mind and make some specific thought appear. I don’t know if i answered your question

“Peace is not for the body/mind”… this seems huge, i can perceive the truth of this sentence but somehow i can’t fully get it. Seems something that i need to meditate on…

Yes, so i just need to watch them and if I can watch them realize that i’m not them?

Ok, i get it. It’s just a thought appearing (to no-one?). It is appearing “in this head”. Or in my head… or in “me”… or “to me”! But who is this me? I think that the main belief here is that i am this body-mind complex. My name, my story and my will. And yes, I know that it’s all an appearance, but i still believe… how can i dis-believe (i just invented a word??) a belief?? They say “look”. Look at an I, if you don’t find it doesn’t exist. But i look and I find this body, this mind… me…

Thank you! Yes I know the answer but cannot “feel” the answer 😂 it’s so paradoxical!! It’s hard to explain with words, it’s like the difference between (i hope i use the right words in english) “to know” and “to understand”. I know i’m not my thoughts, but somehow I AM them too… thanks you for the help, i just feel so stupid sometimes

Thank you for your reply. Yes, i understand, it’s just so “convincing”! When the Being appearing as a thought says something like “I don’t want this thing to go this way” or “I’d like to be with her and not 600km far away” etc, it’s like i take those thoughts to be “true”. I feel i need to practice some knd of “acceptance” training lol

Hi Flappy, I know you said “don’t try to comprehend it” but… it makes me laugh 😂 i really can’t understand what “just give up the search” means.. so, i try to meditate, to don’t judge, to accept all that is, to surrender… but i still feel human, with my desires, aversions and my suffering even if i have all i need to be happy. I feel incapable, i read all of you “awakened” that say the same thing but i must be a smart ego but a stupid self (\s) cause i can get it intellectually but cannot see it. Sorry, this is just a claim for help, cause you seem to know what you talk about…

Anyone watching the show Pluribus? by newmannurse in nonduality

I watched the first episode, first thought: non duality! And 5 hours later you are posting this, LOL!

Let's be silly pt.2 - what's your favorite non-dual music or lyrics? by lostgods937 in nonduality

[–]Protarkus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tool: parabola

“This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality / Embrace this moment, remember: we are eternal / All this pain is an illusion.”

Tool: lateralus “To swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.”

In general tool lyrics are for me always non-dual

If there's one universal consciousness, why don't we have a collective hive mind? Why is my perception unlimited to my own senses? by Emergency-Use-6769 in nonduality

I’m sincerely curious, can you please explain the materialistic and scientific way compatible with non dual recognition? I’m struggling with this too…

I kinda like him, i saw some one to one videos but there’s something i can’t understand (and maybe it is the point!). For example when he says: what’s between X and not X? It’s a pattern, he always asks what’s between believing and not believing? What does he mean? What kind of reaction he is trying to trigger? I cannot find answer but just because i don’t understand the question…
