Writing stuff down apparently happens... But there isn't actually an I that needs to write stuff down... Do you do this on purpose? I'm guessing his mantra ends when he logs off the forum or else he'd probably have been fired from his jobless job by now and his wifeless wife would have left him.

The story of a TRF with a mantra, and posts stuff on a forum, blah, blah,...is just that, a story in the lovely dream of Silence.... When that illusion suddenly drops, what's left will be just what's happening... Sights, sounds, feelings, sensations, thoughts, all happening to nobody... Just Being, just Life, but there's nobody around to know it...hehe

It takes a lot of convincing by me to keep it going...

There is no you or me or I or Self, who does or doesn't do so well with different contexts... There is just This... Don't try to understand it though, nobody can...

Don't try to understand it though, nobody can... I don't know why you get so hung up on these mantras that vary from week to week. You become so robotic that it's not even possible to have a real conversation with you.

It's the same reason you get hung up on believing that you are real and are having real conversations with real people... It's just what's happening...

Some months and years ago, I likely woulda been watching youtubers of Osho, Niz, Mooji, Adya, etc etc, or reading text on the internet in that same vein....
Not sure if I got bored with it, or what, but there is essentially no interest remaining....
Yesterday, I spent several hours watching Richard Feynman and Carl Sagan vids This morning I was on wikipedia reading about existentialism, absurdism, and about a few of the prominent philosophers....
Feynman was a purty smart fella, but does that mean he was pre-destined to become a prominent physicist? I doubt it. He probably just developed a persistent drive and focus and an early age, and then worked very hard.
Sartre was a bright guy too, but instead of mathematics and physics, he pursued knowledge of writing and philosophy.
What did Niz, Mooji, et all, pursue? *
* among other things, which currently escapes me, as I lost my tangent somewhere mid-flight. hehe apparently, being scatterbrained is my current focus... ;-)
