The Best Yet: "Theory of Everything."

[sillysally]

Most all of "civilazation is "unconscious". That's why "Awakening" is such a global phenomenon at present.
D.

lol, I don't think all the information going around on the net is phenomenal. Of course more people are going to broaden their horizons or be "awakened" as you put it with all this information at our fingertips. I bet if you go into the village of starving people in Africa, they won't have a clue about this "global awakening thingy", but anyone with access to a computer will definitely be on about it, if it's one of the interests they pursue on the net. I wouldn't have known about it if you hadn't of mentioned it. I think it's phenomenal that you actually believe it.

Melanie, do you drink alcohol, and then post online? Because you have gone way out there, making some off the wall assumptions. If you do drink, I think it's causing some paranoia issues. If you don't drink, I still think you have some paranoid delusions.

You are the last person that should be quoting the bible miz judgmental.

The problem, Mel, with the posting that nothing is really ‘out there’ and that All is an illusion, being a nonsensical babbling and jabbering of the Dream talking to itself with no real significance is that you then sometimes use what’s ‘out there’ to support it, such as Jesus’ sayings, the Bible, Buddha’s writings, David Icke’s stuff, or old Indian writings.

By your postings of illusion, there is no real book out there with any significant information whose pages you are turning to gain a deep insight; it is only the Dream producing a fake picture of a fake book’s pages turning to make it seem like it is out there and being read, but, all is gibberish.

Same for drinking wine, swallowing food, and digesting it and gaining nourishment; it doesn’t really happen; only a picture of it happening is presented, and so forth and so on through all real things discussed, from referring to evolution or to the earth or that the earth is 3000 years old, etc.

If all is illusion, then one has no firm place to stand to even say that it is all an illusion.

I see you definitely slipping into reality all the time, discussing real subjects, such as you probably do at home with your children who are, in actuality, nonsensical illusions having no real basis whatsoever.

You even speak to other posters as if they are really out there.

Also, being derisive has no brains to it, and, in fact, greatly detracts from the so-called great benefits of supposed peace to be obtained from following certain teachings. What better to show or not show the value of a system by how one acts due to it.

The problem,

The problem is

that if there isn't a problem -then humans will surely invent one.

That is a problem.

In reality-- there aren't any at all...

Now, that might be too simple for the intellect to grasp...do not despair, i'm still here to help and assist your perilous and treacherous journey through infinity.

Quite right too--thanks greg..

Now, back to the topic

The Tibetan Buddhist teachings on death and rebirth are unique and very complete. They usually interest everybody who gets them. In order to understand about death and rebirth, it’s important to begin by observing the nature of our mind. Looking at the mind we often think that there are two things. There is something seeing and there is something being seen. There is a mirror there, the picture is in the mirror. There is that which observes and that which is being observed. But if we look for true duality this cannot be found. Where does every thought and feeling and experience come from? It comes from the open clear space of the mind. Who knows it? The open clear space of the mind. Where does it change? It changes inside that open clear space and it also returns to it again. So, if we look for the mind we see that it's not two things, the seer and the things seen, the experiencer and the experienced. They are not two, but one totality manifesting in two ways. There is the timeless aspect, which is like the ocean, and there is the changing aspect inside time, which is like the waves coming and going in the ocean. And we cannot say that the things either are or are not the thoughts and feelings, either are or are not the mind. They appear there, they are known by it. They disappear there again. Of course they are felt to be different and they are experienced as different. We see them as something apart.

If we look at these two different aspects of mind we see that that which is aware, that which is looking through our eyes, listening through our ears, that which is hearing and feeling and experiencing now, is timeless. It is open like space. It is radiantly clear. It has no limit or end anywhere. Something which is like open clear limitless space of course is not bound inside time. It is not limited by time and place. But if we look for the true nature of that which is aware, which is experiencing the world right now this must be seen to be timeless and limitless. Our own clear space and mind is without birth or death. It is however very rarely that we experience our timeless nature. It is very rarely that the mirror is aware of itself and the mind sees its own nature. Usually we are caught in the things coming and going in the mind. We are not seeing the ocean. We are seeing the waves which come and go there. The few times when the mind experiences itself are the moments of greatest intensity and joy that we can imagine. The way that the radiance of the mirror is actually more than the images coming and going in the mirror when the mind experiences its own nature are very powerful, very exciting and unforgettable.

Do your dreams at night while you are sleeping really happen??

Aren't they just pictures ?

--there is no difference between those images and the images seen in awakeness, it's all appearing within the same awareness--

--everything happens all by itself, there is no-one to who these happenings happen--

--happenings happen-- but they do not happen to you--

--all doing is done, but no doer thereof-

= A phantom reality.

The problem, Mel,
You even speak to other posters as if they are really out there.

You know Austin, there are sometimes, when i think that you understand the concept of nonduality,
but then when i read statements like the above, it is plainly obvious that you do not and never have done.

Although you are welcome to prove me wrong.

It is not me speaking, speaking is just speaking as and through this 'self' ? all by itself.
