Cutting ourselves off from experience

Our perception, an interpretation of reality
December 31, 2022 ~ Five ~ Leave a comment

Crazy how we separate the idea of knowing from what is known... we invented that distinction! We split Awareness, our universe of experience, without even realising-- the world and me as two, two who are never going to get on!

Thinking thinks there is an I thinking

If it's only a thought that there is an "I", are we nothing but a causal process?

Are my thoughts really mine?

Meditation is always a cliff-edge

We don't choose what thoughts to have, yet we claim whatever thought comes as mine? Crazy! Not mine? Crazier!
