Beliefs we are absolutely sure about?

[melanie]

A Lucid Discussion.

A: It's difficult to speak about the nature of reality.....because the one listening is nothing other than the belief structure that already thinks it knows what reality is.

B: Now that is seriously funny... 'a belief structure that listens'

A: A belief structure that believes it listens.

B: A 'belief structure' that appears to be believed... but... like all 'apparent beliefs'... is simply known.

Even the apparent belief in 'fairies at the bottom of the garden'... is simply known as it arises.

'Belief'... is as much a phantom as the person apparently holding it.

'It' does not even know of its own existence.

B: The belief that 'there is a world on the other side of the door to the room in which it appears you are now sitting'

is no different to the belief in 'fairies'

neither is 'believed'... it is simply an idea known... made apparent in the instant it arises.

A: No door ..... No sitting.


Conclusion:
We are no-thing other than untouched pure absolute infinite awareness.
EVERY-THING else is a Belief.
The whole of ''reality life'' is built purely on an imagined belief structure.
It is here, there appears, apparently, a pseudo psychological centre, a believed separate 'I' entity existing.. when in reality there isn't one.
(What is the centre of ''nothingness''?
--an example, ( A baby is not aware of it's existence, it is just a bunch of sensations re-acting to stimuli,
eventually the baby is overpowered by belief structures within it's world )
The baby becomes it's beliefs, far removed from it's real reality.

All Beliefs are false/illusory/inventions/mental constructs of the mind.
They hold no real independent structure/substance or existence apart from the mind.
The substrate behind all illusion is the REAL which is the awareness in which all beliefs/illusions arise and fall.

We only become aware of something, when something stirs in us via stimuli, these sensations arise as and through us and is instantly known one with the knowing.
Otherwise, all is latent potential/possibility.

The stirrings are sensations, they come and go in awareness and have no independent reality what so ever.
We have no existence apart from these sensations.
We are not the sensations we are the ''experiencing'' of them as awareness aware-in itself.

We BELIEVE these sensations to be who we 'think' we are.
They/We are not these.....

A tree is not a tree, it is an imagined label/concept, quite meaningless in itself.
The mind then attaches meaning to the already known idea of a tree.. allowing the tree to become a tree, it is an already known idea held in consciousness ...
it never existed as a separate ''thing'' in itself.
Other than it's label of a 'tree' .. it is no-'thing' at all.

We do not believe that our nightly dreams are real.
Do we believe that waking life dreams are real..?
Both these phenomena are appearing, apparently, within the same one awareness.

AWARENESS is already WIDE AWAKE.
NO-'THING' exist APART from THIS. Immediate Nowness of Pure Awareness...One without a Second.

IT IS CONSTANTLY RE-CREATING ITSELF OVER AND OVER ..EVER NEW IN EVERY INSTANT.

FOREVER Changing but never Changing...A divine paradox indeed.

AWARENESS IS both real and unreal, and yet neither....

TWO WOLVES



One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a
battle that goes on inside people.


He said, "My son, the battle is between two
"wolves" inside us all.



One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret,
greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false-
pride, superiority, and ego.



The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,
kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."



The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:


"Which wolf wins?"



The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Sweet wisdom Thanks Drifter

I think there are infinite wolves.
black, white, shades of gray...
