No contradiction, i don't know if there's evidence that is not present.. View AttachmentThere is no contradiction.. i can't know if there is evidence, if that evidence hasn't been revealed, i.e.: "not present"..

Looking into it alone will reveal it. Having looked into it with a still mind's clarity, i see that 'i' did not write the post i am replying to, hence there is an other writer, you.. Alone could have been written with a capital A.

Self-explanatory phenomenon that applies to both random capitializations within sentences as well as non-sequitar "quotation marks".

I reckon people get overly concerned about if there is or if there is not an experiencer... when there's a very strange awareness which is self aware yet doesn't experience things, and there's the experience of things, which includes the thing referred to as the experiencer. If you understand what I just said, you'd better see a doctor.

Source, Tolle, Mooji, Gangaji, Adya, and many other people who are widely regarded as Self-realized know from direct experience that we humans are deeply conditioned by our culture, our unique experiences, and our imaginative thinking to perceive the world as if we are separate from it. Most of these people do not think of themselves as teachers in the usual sense. They see themselves more like signposts pointing to a living truth that each human has to discover for herself. In fact, this past week Gangaji specifically denied being a teacher because, as she stated, "what I'm pointing to cannot be taught." From my POV, and I suspect from the POV of all the above-mentioned people, silence, and/or becoming free from the jabbering of the intellect, is the key to discovering everything important about human existence. Ramana remained silent for many years after his realization because he considered silence to be the highest teaching and the most direct route to the Infinite. I often tell people that they can find the answer to any existential question they have by simply becoming silent, but I don't tell anyone to believe this. I explain how to attain silence (by shifting attention away from thoughts), and invite people to investigate the matter for themselves. www.earlychristianwritings.com/thomas/gospelthomas114.html

Laffy, One of the interesting things that happened after the silent part of the retreat ended was that different people asked me if I had a website or a blog. The first time I was asked this I said no. I started to suggest visiting the ST forum, but when I quickly reflected upon what they would likely encounter if they came here, I realized that I could no longer recommend this site. Instead, I gave the person my email address and promised that I would have a website available in the near future. I had thought many times in the past about the possibility of putting together a website devoted to Self-realization, meditation, and other related issues, but this week I knew that that project just couldn't wait any longer. In the past I had bought the domain name "attendingtheactual.com", and although I own some other domain names, I'll probably stick with that one because I now get asked about ATA so often. I'm a Luddite, so I'll have to get some help setting up the domain, but in the weeks ahead I hope to have a basic website functioning in some minimal manner. Stay tuned..... I run into the same problem -- I sort of want to recommend folks come here and interact but then I don't because of all of the drama. It's simply impractical for most folks. The internet and forums provide such an immense opportunity for sharing. Would there be a public conversation element to your website? I forgot who started this ZD-Gita but you may want to keep a link in your backpocket.
