The problem with seeking the Who Am I and where do thoughts come from, is that the seeker of all these is false, is just a thought, is just an Illusion.
So it makes it all pointless. Illlusion seeking the source of Illusion?
All thoughts, all perspectives, all points of view ...all are illusion and none of them are the real you!!!!
what-ever reactions you have to this, or whatever you want to respond with, know that it isn't the real you that is responding or having a reaction. ALL illusion .........
put that in your illusuory pipe and smoke it......

smoking away here, dominicus... 8-} .....
Welcome and good wishes.
Seeking is the movement away from that which you are.
You are. Can you deny that? Stay with the awareness of that simple fact.
Answers cannot be found in the mind. The mind and thoughts/concepts that you have come to identify with are appearing in that which you are. Looking for the source of the mind/thoughts/concepts is a red herring that moves awareness away from that which is prior to them.
You are, right here, right now.

I think that some people, including myself at one time, believed that because what we witness is an illusion, that it's a bad thing or something to get rid of.
Not at all, it is a play, enjoy it.
Yes, realize it's not real, but also see that it can be a source of great pleasure.
Pleasure or pain, it's simply a play.
Don't let it give you any trouble.

The problem with seeking the Who Am I and where do thoughts come from, is that the seeker of all these is false, is just a thought, is just an Illusion. The seeker is false...the awareness/consciousness that just looks at 'what is' (prior to thought) is not false. And when there is a misidentification with ego...only the light of awareness/consciousness on 'what is' will end that misidentification. To start that looking at 'what is' and the turning in on ego (to see through it, so to speak)...the question Who am I is given. It is a question to add the energy of curiousity to the fundamental error...the misidentification of who I think I am. In the end, the idea is just to see 'what is' as it is...and as 'what is' is here and now so there is no need to seek it. Who am I is a good question...but turning it into a form of seeking only perpetuates the the seeming reality of a seeker who does not get it (which is a mirage). |
