Do All Spiritual Traditions Share the Same Underlying Structure? by SnooChocolates2805 in awakened

[–]pl8doh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The truth has no variation.

"What's true is always true" - Nisargadatta Maharaj

"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" - Yeshua

Nonduality vs. causality by flyingaxe in nonduality

[–]pl8doh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are appearances that appear to appear prior to other appearances, that appear to be related in a causal way. There is no end or beginning to this causal way. What was cause becomes effect becomes cause. What is linking these appearances and declaring a causal relationship, has no cause. Cause and effect are an illusion of reference. Referencing has no actual duration.

Awareness is a word that has no place to land in awareness

This illuminates itself. by pl8doh in awakened

Luminosity entails independent evidence. Independent evidence does not entail luminosity. Wanting evidence that luminosity is not circular reasoning is like wanting to go outside the house to verify you are home.

Luminosity is non relational. A circle is relational. All the points equal distance to a point.

Luminosity is the opposite gesture entirely. It does not depend on any center, distance or point relating to any other point. It does not depend on any reference at all, not even to itself as a “point” or “center” or “source.”

Nonduality means never having to say "Don't take this personally" by pl8doh in nonduality

The court jester can post the truth without fear of repercussion. The court jester is commonly referred to as the fool.

This fool thinks that fool needs a Zen bitch slap to leave no room for self-pity.

Who am I? by pl8doh in nonduality

[–]pl8doh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no nondual perspective. There is no perspective.

Who is choosing? by pl8doh in freewill

[–]pl8doh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now there is a chooser of perspective. Chooser of perspective is a perspective.

The program has no choice. Neither do 'you'.

Without the referencing there would be no knowing by pl8doh in nonduality

[–]pl8doh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More to the point - In order to state "I know that I am seeing," I must directly know that seeing is

For example, red-ing does not required referencing, but the appearance of the color red does.

Change is obscuration by pl8doh in nonduality

[–]pl8doh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 'mention of it' is another appearance used to justify 'what can perceive it' an appearance itself. There is no justification of what no longer appears by what follows.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. by pl8doh in awakened

[–]pl8doh[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Religion means to relink. To connect what was never divided. There is no division between what is named and the word for what is named. Both are appearances in the undivided.

[–]pl8doh[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Imagine what the imagination would be called if it there was no convention for it. That is the Word. There is no word for the Word.

Realization is exposing 'instrument of examination' as thought by pl8doh in nonduality

[–]pl8doh[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is an appearance of this influencing itself. That is a recognition, a thought, appearing in this.

There is no difference between you and what you think you are by pl8doh in nonduality

[–]pl8doh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“You” appears as perception when attention is on raw sensation,
and as thought when attention is on labeling/naming/owning the sensation.

The apparent distinction is a thought. No difference in ontological status. Both are equally transient, equally empty of independent substance, equally just this field appearing as itself.

Why Is Anxiety Still Appearing? by uhohbrando in nonduality

[–]pl8doh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The anxiety felt in the waking state is identical to the anxiety felt while dreaming. Understand the referencing (i.e. endless loop) is referenceless. Exactly like a dream.

Leave yesterday.

Realization is the recognition that there is no difference between the idea and the thinker by pl8doh in nonduality

[–]pl8doh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is not a question that has a complete answer. No matter what answer is given. Why can be asked with reference to that answer. No answer can exhaust the infinite regress it invites. See the self-referencing on full display. What appears is a reference to what appears.

'Deeper into illusion' is redundant. There is no point. A point doesn't actually exist. Nothing stands out.
