Direct Self-Truth begins where belief ends. It’s not an idea to carry, but a quiet awareness that carries you, a feeling when it becomes clear that the path is not a line we travel, but a clearing in which all paths dissolve, and were never alone. Truth is a pathless land (JK).
Is awakening the discovery of the true self or the discovery that the self we seek was never what we thought it was? Well, its a little bit of both but the deeper truth lies not in the search of who we are, rather what remains when the question of who we are finally falls silent.
@MyPowertalk THXs, GB, for a healthier direction and consistent focus over many years!⚓️The self knowledge rabbit hole is a deep one. I think what remains after the question of who we are appears in our silent moments. Maybe theres no fixed self to understand, rather doorways into presence.🪷
@Earstohearyou Refinement is self-centred activity, however enlightened aesthetically and morally. There is great satisfaction in the refining process but no joy of depth; it is superficial and petty, without great significance. Nevertheless, know that I respect "You" and your followers.
@Excellentsalvic You can't live for eternity, but its possible to become aware that somewhere in your mind, there lies the essence and true reality of your being. "Know Thyself".
@Earstohearyou A sound experiment could be expressed and used differently in a million ways. This highlights the living moment and reality of Now! Alan Watts nailed this, from a story about a tree falling in the woods, that didn't make a sound, because there was no one around to hear it fall.
Nothing under the sun and realms of human patterns should be considered New, only Awareness itself. A Mind thats free of yesterday, has a chance to experience the freshness of any given "Now-Moment" as something Sacred, never manufactured, and all the more, non-understandable.
@Earstohearyou Yet, the greatest teacher would know that any kind of awakening must always be casual and never determined, only then would the Adapt experience that surprise immense innocency of nothingness, and Great ecstasy that has no reason, and no death. ~TheOneWhoIs 😇🙏🕊️@Earstohearyou
