@awareness_being What I feel is in order to examine anything, you have to let go of any systems that you create to try to fit what you are examining. Systems are a generally looking at things from a fixed point, inside or outside. Systems can be deceptive.
Consciousness is the light in which all objects become visible.
It precedes all objects; it is the space in which everything can appear.
Suffering and pain appear in Consciousness but cannot touch it.
Just like a movie cannot affect the screen.
"If you can start the day without caffeine, If you can relax without liquor, If you can sleep without the aid of drugs, If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend, Then, congratulation, you have reached the same level of development as your dog." - @Kpaxs
At a farm,
The farmer announces,"one of you all is the chosen one".
Everyone sheep starts thinking he is that one.
A battle ensues for that one to come out.
Sheep society is formed.
People create systems,
To feel themselves,
To be able to look at themselves,
Without feeling bad.
Come out in the open, see where you are afraid to look.
