You have just described the direct realization of the Essential Self perfectly. This is experience of satori or nirvana. Truly beautiful!! I have tried to describe it many times and fail miserably because reality cannot be described with words, it’s an experience and having that experience is the most meaningful event a person can have in their life. You can practice having this experience and living your life from that perspective. This practice is sometimes called called self abidance, self inquiry, or simply Being. As you practice this more and more it becomes easier and easier and as a result life becomes more and more meaningful.

The toad sez yeah beyond words--Timothy L is dead--but you coulda jis listen ta ZDoggMD. He take you there. (ahem) Reminds me of intro to Tibetan-derived Shambhala meditation practice so long ago. That's about as deep and fast as rational words can take us. Excellent clip, thanks. [ subscribed. ]

The past doesn’t exist it’s just a mental construct. As is this comment

Beautiful!.....❤... I want to explore something with you. Bringing attention back to awareness, being.. that space from which all is seen, what is this thing where deliberate thought is generated? Its not unbidden thoughts floating in and out - they seem to come from nowhere, have no identity or persona attached - but when I deliberately generate a thought, it seems to be located in the head/brain (I guess that is where mind expresses through) and seems to be 'my thought' or a feeling of deliberate thought. But this is also seen or known or how else would I be aware of this? So there is this subtle nothingness that is aware of everything, and there is this sense of deliberate thought coming from... what? Is this sense of I also just a thought - a thought generating thought all being witnessed by something.. silent and full? So does a self realised being think deliberate thoughts? Does the Self generate thoughts or are all thoughts, seemingly deliberate or random, just coming out of nowhere, without a persona attached, empty? There is this subtly when the attention identifies with something there is a sense of being attached to that something as though it is alive and the 'I' gets projected outward, even if it is only a fraction outward from what is True, and the identity becomes entangled... yet something is aware if even this... Oh the great play of it all... What is this awareness and the act of thinking, who/what actively thinks? There is a book called The Tenth Man by Wei Wu Wei (tough read) and this seems to suggest that when the world is seen the Self is lost and when the Self is seen the world is lost. I get that. Bringing attention back to awareness nothing exists but being... allowing attention outward, to ego identity and all that follows, the sense of awareness is lost, yet it is there like the screen the play plays out on, just attention is not on it... So does it have to be either/or? How does one remain aware of this awareness space (and it doesn't seem object/subject) this awareness of itself, and function in this life....? Ok answering/guessing myself as I go along... is the way/trick where the identification is? If I identify with a limited concept of myself, the sense of Self is lost and I emerge as a separated individual, but if I keep the I identity with awareness, that which all things are known by, and see the persona, thought etc as not 'I' thought they dance in front of the awareness, then can both exist together? I guess one question is, is there something/someone perceiving awareness or is the awareness identified with as I? Words are so difficult to explain my question, I hope you can explore this and offer some insight? Just sit for a minute in that expansive space you took us to in this video, watch thoughts etc floating in and out, then create a deliberate thought... what is that?

I can feel what you're getting at. In my direct experience, even identification AS awareness is another thought. The I AM sense is also...wait for it...a thought. So what is aware? Is "awareness of" these phenomena separate from the phenomena themselves? At some point, the Heart Sutra says it all, very directly. It's a complete paradox to the mind. "Deliberate thought" requires a thinker, an agent, so look for that thinker in that thought-space of consciousness and see what's there...

I can only get as far as recognising that the sensations and the thoughts that are happening are happening in the same field of awareness. No inside and outside. Even then the sense of I is still there. Sometimes, just for a few seconds, the senses just kind of merge and it gets disorienting but then too sense of I is there judging it. The doership is has a strong grip.

@@apoorvamurthy5197 it certainly has, but I think what you said that it all happens in the same field, including the sense of doership has something to it... even doership is just a thought, a concept. I think when we finally 'see', this doership won't appear to have had a strong grip at all, just attention was in the wrong place. This thinking we are in the grip of something is the big illusion, we are always free even when it doesn't feel so because something exists prior to the feeling and the feeling cannot exist unless it exists in that field of awareness. Thoughts, feelings, doer are all in front of the awareness! So I asked 'who is the one consciously thinking' there is no 'one', no I, even the sense of conscious thinking is still a thought, a concept happening in front of or in the awareness.

@@Achala148 very nicely put. Thank you. I know what you're saying but to see the I as an object of observation requires some amount of observation. I guess it comes around when there's a sense of wonder.
