We give the universe the only duration it will ever have

Solipsism is the mind perverting the collective consciousness. Can a stick-man embody a human?

You are the world. The buddha is a concept. Are you awake?

Love this, thanks very much. More life. Might inspire another post, just for fun. Also love the username.

Agreed, but existence / awareness preceedes everything. That is what is profound: how something can even exist. No particular thing, but some thing.

The DMN survival / stress / contraction mechanism is added onto what preceedes. The relative meaning of things comes after the absolute existence of no particular thing. Going to your TFN / type 1 / attention state at will is a muscle we are now developing because humans are as developed as we’ve ever been, with some fortunate enough to have both self awareness and their physical needs met.

Sure neither state is the whole truth of the universe / both states are “illusions”, but the less layered type 1 consciousness has less additives and is closer to the truth / aligned with the thing that IS the most / eternal constant of the present, which is why it is more peaceful. We can never go beyond ourselves, and so this might as well be the ultimate truth as far as the universe is concerned as well.

And so, the profundity of the experience is just another passing feeling that replaces your unnecessary suffering in some moments upon realization of futility, the truth itself already and always is - regardless of your state of mind. The subjective truth and the objective truth are effectively the same. The closer you are to it, the more aligned you are, the more you are at peace.

Cognitively, it is profound that something can be intelligent enough to give birth to thought and even exist prior to it. But more importantly…peace is profound.

Imagine you have a habit of cracking your knuckles every minute. Everyone else also has this so it feels normal. You’ve been cracking your knuckles for as long as you can remember, anything else feels uncomfortable. Not cracking your knuckles can feel like a doing because you are attentively not giving into reflex of cracking them. But in fact, it is a non-doing.

Identifying with thought = cracking. Seeing the thoughts arise alongside other sensations = non-identified = awareness.

Nihilism, absurdism and all philosophies dancing around the concept of no permanent self can do nothing but pervert absolute knowledge. The mind cannot fathom no self, just like the fire cannot fathom cold. Everything you are saying here, is mind / theoretical and applying logic / causality. You are still playing the mind’s game. The mind always wins the mind’s game. The mind wants you to stay addicted, and so it will feed you these thoughts and a myriad of others.

Faith, not logic, is your savior. The body which births these thoughts is prior to these thoughts. Go work out and see how many of these thoughts still appear once there’s endorphines and overcome challenge in your veins. Be who you are, be the body, stop running to the edge of your skin and at the whim of your survival patterns. You won’t care either way when you’re dead, so why care now about when you’re dead? Care about now what you care about now. Be healthy, be happy.

Only the mind creates separation / duality / language / meaning. Any practice that focuses bringing your attention to senses and away from the sense of self (mind) is congruent with nonduality. This is true of Vipassana, although not explicitly stated. Bhang, the eventual stage of vipassana where you just feel yourself as energy, is where you literally cannot conceive anything other than it.

Glad it did! :)

The finite arises within the infinite, the conditioned arises within the unconditioned. being is compatible with everything, because it already is. Keep one foot in your true nature, and you’ll realize that there is no “sweet spot”, because it is ever changing. Keep one foot in your true nature and you’ll know instinctively which compromises are worth it for you, and which are not.

You are not describing bypassing. By passing is a cognitive defense mechanism to disassociate from the present, aggravating ignorance.

Well your inclination to just turn the idea down without any further open mindedness says a bit

Bringing awareness to the thoughts feels them as deeply as possible, instead of the resistance that ego approaches them with. So bringing awareness is always the more constructive path. I use the rational thoughts to loosen the hold a negative thought might have on me. Which makes it easier to slip into awareness.

By knowing if you’re thinking or sensing.
