mind blowing thought

[melanie]

It is what it is.
But what it is,
is not what it is,
as we say it is.

We cannot say what it is.
But if one may,
one might is it.

What it is, we are not.
What we are, is it.
It is what we are,
not what we is it.

To dream,
to be awake,
and awake to dream.

Everything and nothing,
ever always a-mountain of sum-thing.

I have imagined nothing, and it was every-ware, everything.
In and of it-self,
object,
source,
subject ... of illusion.

Everytime,
captivated by its reflection in the ocean,
it is.

"The integers were made by God; all else is the work of man."
- Leopold Kronecker

GOD / NATURE / IT or what ever name we want to call it, is a pointer pointing to an indescribable Is-ness or Tao.

When you have a thought, are you inside the thought? or...is the thought inside you?

sometimes i think it is inside my brain - sometimes i think that it is within my complete body - sometimes it reaches a star in a distance - sometimes it just depends what i think how ...
it=thought
i=sometimes monitor my thoughts

[melanie]

Do you think?

OR

Are you being thought?

I think I am a thought.


Reminiscent of Descartes,
who when he was in a bar
was asked by the barman
"would you like another?"
To which Rene replied,
"I think not"
and promptly disappeared!




It's the impersonal I who speaks through every personal I.

It seems to me that in effect the OP asks whether the world exists inside or outside of our minds. It's not an easy question to answer.

Of course Deepak is inventing… about a transcendental realm. It would take more than that to transcend dental medication.

Hi Austin.

I forgot about this thread.Your post made me laugh, about the dentist.

Pain is not easy to transcend, although not impossible, the trick is not to struggle with it, but to relax into it, that way its more bearable.

As for the transcendental realm, being able to transcend the 'individual self' out of existence came natural to me, have you ever tried it?

And what about you PeteJ have you tried it?

It seems to me that in effect the OP asks whether the world exists inside or outside of our minds. It's not an easy question to answer.

My answer: The world exists as and through Consciousness.There's nothing outside the mind,there's just mind or consciousness, the contents of consciousness is consciousness itself.Inside and outside does not exist except as a concept. The word Consciousness is a concept.

I feel like I keep repeating myself, wait a minute i do keep repeating myself, but hey, there's nothing else to talk about is there?....

When you have a thought, are you inside the thought? or...is the thought inside you?

Acts 17:28

New International Version (NIV)

28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[a] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We' are his offspring.

[Drifter]

When you have a thought, are you inside the thought? or...is the thought inside you?

In this plane of duality, both.
As the Subtle being, we are inside the thought and give rise to consciousness.
As the Gross being, we are outside the thought and given rise as Consciousness.

As Lazarus laughed.

Melanie, yes, have tried and still trying. And I know what you mean about there being not much else to talk about.

Some interesting folk around here by the look of it.
