If i look carefully at what feelings/bodily sensations are made of i can see they are made up of mind. i can't even call it 'my mind'- it may very well be a universal mind because of the feeling that it has nothing to do with me. It is like- "wow, look at that... i am creating the world as i go; i put colours on trees and the sky, give shape to bodies [including this one i call mine] and objects, make feelings and sensations appear... what an ever changing show of sounds, colurs, sensations...!" The show is perceived instantaneously as it gets produced by the mind which makes perceived, perceiving and perceiver [scenarist, actor, acting and spectator], One; however, an irrelevant One... The show has a weird feeling about it- something of a mix of a beautiful but useless wonder, a laughable ridiculousness because of how real and serious the scenery, happenings and actors appear to be. It is a grand display of... futility; it has no point and no purpose. It is like an enamored junior high-school teenager performing all kind of stunts to catch the attention of the girl of his dreams from a senior class. Unfortunately she fails to notice any of those altogether with the existence of that lad- what a waste of effort...

Magdi Badawy I've had that insight. It just suddenly became clear that whatever the feelings or mind bring up do not and can not pertain to Me as consciousness. Very freeing.

daisilui i like the last paragraph, the humor of seeing people seeking within their own concepts and never reaching what they seek. Especially funny because they're already what they seek, yet seriously identified with the character in the play.

Michael, i think that what i meant to say was that the one seeking has not business whatsoever with the one Being. It looks like between Being and doing [seeking] is a gap that cannot be filled ever; they are like two parallel universes, except that only one exists as real. However, in this *dream *it appears that there is a relationship between the two- of course, this is an illusion as this word itself- 'relationship' automatically implies duality, but to go on on this false path... the illusion feels sweeter when i sees it for what it is [illusion], reinforcing each other- the more i forgets about itself the happier existence feels and then the feeling of happiness makes one understand that it comes from ‘inside’, i.e., it is the true nature of Being/Existence. It may sound quite confusing but that's the best i can do for the time being if i am to make allowance/concession to the lie- 'i am the world'...

daisilui wow, you really simplified it there haha But its true that, happiness isn't in a particular circumstance or condition, to believe it is keeps one on some kind of search, spirituality or worldly.. and of course it keeps one unhappy. In my view there is no ignorance until someone insist there is. There's no separation, an 'other' doesn't ever stop being the Self because of seeking.. seeking just appears to obscure the truth, its not a big thing, a small blip. I don't ever think of it at all unless its brought to my attention, otherwise i see no difference, just the luminosity of Being.. i certainly see no distinction of myself as different..

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbGGf7eJ3bmxnas.htmlm31s "once we are very open to this possibility all that it takes to stop thinking along the old lines of thought, to stop thinking along the lines of being a separate person. and then we become more aware of the feelings in the background, in the closet sorta speak, that were triggering this personal type of thought. and again we allow for these feelings, we don't want to kill those feelings, we want to look straight at them. so we see them for what they are...bodily sensations. then they are not telling us any longer we are separate. they are simply sensations that appear in something that is limitless."

Thank you for that statement: the thoughts about myself are perceptions, and not me....feelings are bodily sensations not US THE UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS.they are simply sensations that appear in something that is limitless. Very well said.Thank you again.

H. Kim mind. Although there’s really no decider because decisions are an illusion too

The universe decides. There is no decider.

Follow the following analysis when you have two possible buttons to press: 1. The decision is made by the finger that touches the button. 2. The decision is made by the nervous system that sends the signal. 3. The decision is made by the brain that fires the signal. 4. The decision is made by the body that grows a brain. 5. The decision is made by the Universe that grows a body. 6. The decision is made by God that grows a Universe. From step 1 through 5 no localized "I" could be placed to claim the action but in step 6 doership is claimable, for you to properly claim doership you need to say first that you're God but not the God that grows your one specific body but the one that creates the entire Universe at this point not only do you choose which button but you also create the buttons and the whole experiment. In truth, there are no agents in the Universe, there is only Universe, that global "I" onto which the whole Universe manifests itself is the only one that can claim any doership, it is from this One that all other apparently individual "I"s come into being.
