good video for the first part but come back to me when they discover that consciousness doesnt originate in the brain. why is my awareness limited to what my brain produces and just small portion of it at that. A pretty lame "infinitely everything if you ask me." but alas, i am everything
the transition to "God" was not so smooth. the thinking got stuck with confusion about watching. ?how? the idea, the thought swallowed us up. but i need thought, thats who i am. we can go into tricks to watch, maybe in one day see totally. repeat a words correctly without much thought and watch ThinKing...........watch your deeds, doings, reactions, how you feel,...............
Our brain not working itself and not doing any things itself the one who created us he programed it how to work and how long to work from the bigning the brain starting growing but at the age 60 about the brain starting shrinking does it work itself noooooooooo way.
Wouldn't it make more sense to say that the awareness you have ( so you being an observer) is just a "part" of you rather than being you? With that I mean: we only put ourselves in the role of an observer of ourselves, but isn't this merely a role we take?
I am zen myself and I do not believe this proves anything or has any significance to enlightenment. Just putting my opinion out there, while I do believe the buddha spoke the truth this is not something that proves it.
Perfect! Thank you Magicdragon. As the earth goes through her profound changes, so are we!
the promise is that if you choose, right now, to breathe in the perfection - of the Self which is all that is arising, you will know only Heaven on Earth. We can join together and leave the drema of separation behind - blessings, kalli
It's wonderful when people see past the mechanistic churning of the mind, our mere reflection of context. But when someone claims to know precisely what awareness is ("Infinitely Everything beyond physicality") I wonder about the source of that claim.
At this depth of inquiry we tend to hear things like "We're all one intelligence". I haven't seen any evidence of that and I don't accept special pleading. Does this video simply report what its maker was taught?
how would one prove that, anyways? this is a question you cannot find an answer to outside of yourself. You have to search within and "feel". Just as there is an infinite amount of information available "outside" so is there an infinite amount of information "inside" if you are willing to silent the mind and pay attention -& I know that sounds cheesy. Most things you can only know by personal experience. If you cant get out of the brain box, take 5 grams of mushrooms in silent darkness.
request you and to request-- souls ,grand souls, microsouls or any molecules of human or any creatures should not be taken under earth or any hell for any punishment ,any kind of torturings ,sufferings .and requests, what ever punishment ,should be given on the earth only .requests you to come forward to make to bring back every souls every molecules of humans fron under earth and hell and save everyone good or bad

This is quite in the way but the real truth is that we r both this AND the physical mind/body put together as ONE. If u divide this the result is dualistic, if u don´t it is nondualistic, as it is. Truth is, we are both, these r 2 poles of one process, 2 sides of one coin, but I get where this is going, it wisely chooses the ignored aspect, the beautiful mindless nature, emphasizing this neglected part leads to an understanding of our nature.
Observe the self and relax. Wishing for a hasty 'end' will only have you running pointless laps around a circle. The selfish desire for enlightenment will gradually melt away and open up a kind of selfless love.
This is bullshit. Just because im automatically breathing does not mean that not i am the one who is breathing. Just because my cells make my body work, does not mean that that not im the one who is functioning. Like you dream the dream you dream is not controlled by you, but it is caused by you. There are many parts of the self that are out of its control, and i think that the goal is should be not to deny everything that not the one i am doing this or doing that, but to put it under control
@TheMasenko Your body is doing those things. Just like it does when you're sleeping or unconscious. "You" arent. Thats the distinction. You are not the body or mind. You have a body and mind. They are tools. Great tools but tools nonetheless. Who is it that is aware of both?
@Nunzi1001 Nah, i think i am doin it. Like i am typing now, not my fingers. If i loos my fingers, I am who wont be able to type, and as i loose my body i am the one who wont be able breath, dream etc... not my body. My body does not do anything since when i leave it, it becomes dead. Its not equal with me, but as a part of me, its not like a separate thing that could exist without me.
@TheMasenko You misunderstand everything about zen. The body is an integral part of us. Without it our consciousness would not be able to taste existence. But our consciousness is the same consciousness that runs the world. Doctors are still not 100% sure how consciousness and our minds work. My point is while the body and mind are amazing tools that we need, they are not the "source" of our existence. Awareness/consciousness/presence/being is. Without ur mind telling you you're typing, are you?
@TheMasenko Basically who are you when not thinking? Any thought is witnessed in your consciousness. Anything that has ever happened has happened in your consciousness, or you would not be able to talk about it. The problem is when we create an identity based on thoughts of the past, and use up all our energy defending and feeding that. Throw all that away for a second, be completely NOW, and who are you? This isnt to say the mind is bad, but to base your identity on it is. Stay as awareness.
@Nunzi1001 Even if im unconscious i exist. Just think on when somebody is sleeping or is in coma. The thing that we call "self" is a set of things whats existance is strictly connected to each other When you think on a wheel of a car, it can only be a functioning wheel when its on a car , and when its on the car, it becomes more than a wheel, it becomes the car. So my hand is a part of the body, but its also me. Its just the matter of that you consider it as a wholeness or a part.
@TheMasenko Your body and mind are expressions of consciousness. They are integral parts but not the source of your existence. Thats what Im saying. You could say consciousness is the gasoline that runs the car. Without it the car is useless and no experience can take place in it.
Everything appears in the still ever present awareness you are, even the mind which we take ourselves to be. This is all Zen points out, to come back home to the place that has never changed.
Yeah but in your point of view as weel, th car is not the gasoline. Its just a part as you say. An we are the car, not the gasoline. Of course the gasoline in the car is the car, because they are one, but the gasoline itself istn. The pont that you miss is that you dont consider the wholeness of the entities, you just decompose them into parts, and you say this isnt me this isnt me, and then in the end nothing remains, and you pass that thing what seek.
@Boblw56 Exactly. People have it in their minds that being "enlightened" is some mystical and elusive thing that you have to dedicate your life to discover, when thats not the case. For some people it may take longer than others, but once you realize what videos like these are saying they make 100% total sense. My analogy is that we are the movie screen in which the movie of life is playing. Dont identify with the content, just stay as the screen watching it all go down in a detached way.

The military have begun to get ready for entering the underground. First Los Alamos evacuated because of a created fire. Than Walter Reed hospital closes in Washington D.C.

Norway attacks and Amy Winehouse at age 27. To distract our attention. Date of Sept. world wide event seems to be accurate.
Can´t totally agree with this video although I agree with the basic concept. How do you know the mind can exist without brain? That silent awareness is there in all likeliness because there IS a brain, unless proof of the contrary.
@jeanmtiger "brain" is a concept, and a kind of complex image-- a bunch of colors and textures--that appears in consciousness.Consciousness is primary.How do I know? I spent a lot of time finding it out.
ego(cain, lucifer, judas, adolf, etcs) plotted this erroneous sense of individuality , waking up is, see divinity in every life-form, in every flower and all forms...

Suppose you like Salad, Atta & Dessert but do you take them at once all the time what is reality of whatever is there ( Salad) if you experience without the disturbance of mind that is experiencing like When Buddha got enlightened he was asked by a person
" Sir how do you feel"
Buddha : I eat tangerine as tangeriene I drink water as water.
Enlightment is not achieved it is received. I will pray for you. you will soon be enlightened.
That's a contradiction, because if it really was everything then it should also be the physical, right? I would rather say "it is everything, including physicality"
@jsab0 I know, by meditation. But that leads me to another question which I hope you can answer.
People say that meditation will lead us back to our natural state: the state of unlimited mind, so our unlimited Self. Yet, people describe this state in all kinds of ways by calling it blissfull, vast, etc. Now my question is: how can you say this for descriptions like these are DEFINING and thus limiting the unlimited.
@FearThisChannel I'm not enlightened so I honestly think it best for you to read the teachings from Bodhidharma, Huang Po or Joshu rather than asking me questions. But yes, all descriptions are limiting; they are only used for the "beginner" students who are new to this. An intellectual understanding almost always comes first and then we "throw away the books" as a silent mind takes over.
@jsab0 All right. Thank you for your replies. But I have not yet found a true Path to follow for myself, so I don't know where to start off. I know the situation (we are fallen and need to go back to our natural state again), but I haven't yet found a way of living to go back or a spiritual tradition to follow. So, where should I start? Considering this, would it then be OK if I read Bodhidarma's teachings?
@FearThisChannel From the Zen school, Bodhidharma's teachings translated by Red Pine, Huang Po's teachings translated by John Blofeld and Joshu's teachings translated by James Green are all wonderful. From the Hindu nonduality school, anything from Ramana Maharshi or Nisargadatta. The Bhagavad Gita is incredible. The books "Who Cares?!" and "A Duet of One" from Ramesh Balsekar are profound. The Christian "Cloud of Unknowing" and "A Course in Miracles" are amazing too. Pick one, any one! :)
@jsab0 By the way, is it necessary that I should have the Red Pine translation of Bodhidharma's teachings?; it is not available here... only another one.
@FearThisChannel The Red Pine translation is the only one I've read so I can't comment on the quality of other versions. Go with your gut feeling; does it feel appropriate to buy the one that is available to you?
@jsab0 One guy once said that when it is stated that: "Words cannot describe the Ultimate" that it is bullshit. He said that words can say a great deal, but of course not describe everything.
I would see that every word is another limitation, but still I don't yet know what to think. How do you think about this?
People say that during enlightenment you have complete understanding of everything, but it is also said that enlightenment is a trance state during meditation. And, of course, you cannot stay in this state forever. You cannot have this complete understanding every minute of your life, because you have to go back to your "ordinary consciousness" again. You cannot stay in trance forever.
So are those who say that we will have permanent understanding and experience liars or what?
@larbo1616 Those people may have reached a temporary satori or samadhi which led them to falsely believe they were enlightened. That's precisely what happened to me 6 years ago. All the ancient Zen Masters, Nondual Hindu teachers & Christian Mystics have said that this human consciousness is the unnatural "altered state" and that enlightenment is not a trance, but out natural state. My favorite teacher of all, David R. Hawkins, clarifies it further and says it's not a state, but a condition.
@larbo1616 Sorry, I've got 8 of his books, 3 of the audio programs offered by Nightingale Conant, as well as taking in many various other miscellaneous resources. I can't recall where that specific bit of info was from. If I had to guess, I would say maybe from either "They Eye of the I" or from "I: Reality and Subjectivity." Whatever it was though, I highly recommend all of this books.
@larbo1616 For an Enlightement being there is nothing to be Understood Everything to be Experienced henceforth it is not Complete Understanding But Complete Experiencing the Reality................
any "choice" you make is the result of an reaction to a situation, which is caused by chemicals in your brain. you dont control that, in fact any attempt or to control that is the result of chemicals in your brain that made you try to control it. if i do an action like eat food for example, i got hungry and then ate because chemicals in my brain made me do it. if i decide im going to try to avoid this and deliberately not eat, there was a chemical in my brain which made me do that as well.
On the quest for spiritual evolution?Not satisfied with what you have found?Wake up the dormant power within your spirit.Go to THE-HIDDEN-SPIRITdotCOM , your search is finally over.
I agree we humans are mostly automatice and freewill is an illusion, I disagree that human consciousness is formless. agree that you can have a feeling of oneness and that everything is made of essentially the same stuff, but we are stuff no brain = no body to need and support the brain = no consciousness, no awareness.
yes we can watch our thoughts and emotions because we a thinking them in our tissues not because we are something else. why must spiritual always be nonphysical nonsense.
@PsychedelicSexDream If we check an encyclopedia it says the words "spiritual" & "mystical" were created for the specific purpose of talking about "realities or experiences of the immanent or transcendent nature of the world." So "spiritual" means "non-physical." Also, throughout the centuries every single Zen Master, every Hindu Sage and every Christian Mystic has said Reality/Consciousness/God is non-physical and transcendent. They were all speaking from what they were experiencing.
Ok , spiritual means the opposite of physical , and experiences are firmly grounded in the physical stuff of the brain. So , I don't doubt the experiences but they are physical and the only language we've had to explain them is outdated religiosity and myth . I disagree reality , consciousness/ supernatural creators must be physical to have any effect on the physical world they interact with.
I really like the video minus the you're actually some infinite pure nothingness part.
@PsychedelicSexDream But they also say things like "the experience of no experience" or "mind of no mind" to differentiate noisy limited human consciousness from the silent formless Infinite Consciousness that they're experiencing as a result of the mind going completely void of all thoughts, concepts, images and self-identity. We experience the physical only because we, as formless consciousness, constantly choose to identify with the individual brain/physical.
Ok its clear to me now that my understanding is the opposite :we are physical brains that can imagine , a silent formless infinite Consciousness, based on interpretations of experience . I love the concept of no mind the brain and body working in concert with no inner struggle. but is that just clarity , awakening from thought dominance to focused action and attention.
I'm wanting to integrate the spiritual experience to a framework that doesn't rely on metaphysics for value. I ges
I've had self realization and I just want to say that you need to have experienced it and have some self realization to know what they mean here,
yes, we are our body and our brain, but the true 'me' is what is observing our body/brains functions, whether we are aware of it or not. and the 'observer' is formless one,
either way it can't be understood through concepts because they just try and relate them to things you already have experienced, gotta realize it uself:D
I have had some "power of now" out of body psychedelic experiences in my life and ascribing them to the Idea that I and not this boby is not logical or reasonable.
the true "me" is largely the unconscious or subconscious part of our brains where we keep knowledge and memories , the "me" that can think its a formless observer is the consciousness ,the awareness ,still the brain. yes I can watch thoughts and feel separate from them because they are made in the subconscious brain.
@AxiomaticInfinity True, it's a bit of a mix of Buddhism & Hinduism. And if we integrate the use of Christian terminology it could also be put this way: Absolutely everything is God, but the ego is not God. As long as the Teaching points to Truth beyond concepts, there is no conflict between the teachings. The cultural terminology is irrelevant. Awareness, nonduality, zen, one mind, buddha nature, silence, god, peace, love, whatever... it's all the same.
@supervanscott There's nothing "wrong" with it since there's no need to condemn or demonize a relative truth but it's beneficial to recognize that anything that's subject to change, such as the body/mind, is not the unchanging Absolute Truth and is meant to be transcended. The thing is that we never were the body/mind; it has always been an erroneous identification. Thoughts spring up on their own and therefore everything the body does is happening on it's own without a "me" actually doing it.
Sorry but this is just a bag of new age misconceptions. The theory about the pure consciousness, the witness, the observer, the subject...etc has a major problem which is the fact that we are conscious of the fact that we are conscious and we express it. That means that consciousness does provide a feedback to the brain in order to express its knowledge about the subjective experience which is consciousness itself. How come something nonphysical interacts with something physical?
@MrSmokingape As every single Enlightened person has said throughout history, because we insist on constantly identifying with the physical out of an attatchment/addiction to it.
To be honest , i intended 2write just that but after reading a few comments i ll add>.I thought it was very inspired ,and it felt rightaway that is the product of your own realisation.So really,i wonder why you received so many irrellevant messages.Is it that in the end ,not so many ppl understand?(although the idea/conclusion was a common one.It was the way you exposed and xplained it that was brilliant)or is it that u, for some reason u atracted those messages.

This is a very interesting way of looking at our existence. And it makes more sense than to think of yourself as a body or brain. At least to me. Thank you for this video.
@Sensimozilla I feel I should make it clear that I don't recommend the use of drugs. I see the high as being an artificially induced form of happiness, joy and peace that becomes a crutch and/or addiction. Joy/peace must be chosen within, not induced externally. Personal experience has shown me that an authentic experience of Oneness/Bliss/Peace is PROFOUNDLY and indescribably more enjoyable and powerful than a drug or alcohol high. A high is downright pale in comparison.
Tired of fake spiritual enlightenment information?Tired of all the energy and chakra talk with no real results?mind reading powers, intuition, inner peace, it is all true.THE-HIDDEN-SPIRITdotCOM it is time to wake up.
I am so glad of this video, this is what I have experienced too, through practice of Insight Meditation and daily mindfulness. This is so impossible to understand if one does not look into his/her own mind on how it works, because spiritual teachings cannot be understood by mere intellectual inferencing/thinking but must through real experience. It's like to taste a fruit that we have never tasted before, we have to eat it by ourselves and not by listening from others about how it taste.
Wow. Thank you for this! It's been 20 years of Zen and I'm finally venturing into Reality. I need all the reminders I can get! I can no longer fall under the mind's spell ("haha. There it goes again" I say to thoughts), but haven't fully become my True Self either! Anyone else been stuck here? lol
Do away with concepts of "physical" and "spiritual." Do away with the idea that they are two separate states. Physicality is an aspect of spirit and spirit is an aspect of physicality. Ultimately, they are one in the same. There is no division.
To state that physicality (body/mind) is not you can have undesired consequences. This conditions one to think that only the spiritual is real and to disregard the physical as unimportant and illusory.This results in the disregard for all things physical including our physical brothers and the physical planet.This is duality of the highest order. There is no division between the spiritual and physical. The idea that they are separate is terribly outmoded.
By saying 'we are the awareness that is watching' you make the (error according to Buddha) of identification again. From what I have gleaned over the years, we aren't supposed to be identifying with anything at all, even mindfulness itself! And who is 'we' anyway?...Heck language mires us down in concepts, does it not? No wonder the sages all advocate silence. :)
How could anybody confuse 2 things that have nothing in common with each other? Transhumanism looks to extend physical lifespan and improve the functionality of the body, while Enlightenment is the transcending of all form, including the body. With Enlightenment, the body is a great big "who cares." Whether it lives or dies is of no consequence because you don't die when the body dies. And from the viewpoint of Enlightenment there is no body or world. So I hear. :)
it's amazing how fascinating is our world, the same time we think we know something we don't know anything, what is this world? what are we??? nobody will know this answer...
I wonder where do these assertions come from? Another mind that is just as "rambling" as mine? If so, why should thoughts about the absence of self be any more credible than thoughts about the dualistic idea of a self? Why should the thoughts of one automatic rambling mind be any more true (or even considered by one) than the the thoughts of another mind, or your own?
To be clear, though, I don't think the assertions proposed here are absurd. Perhaps the tone is a little to 'concrete' though!
@alexcoe Hi. The info in the video wasn't just the result of a rambling mind, and it's not just the repeating or parroting of things that have been read and heard elsewhere, but from actual first hand experience, albeit a temporary experience. If you read the info on my profile page there's a bit of the story of what lead to the understandings explained in this video.
@alexcoe, while the hero"s journey to venture to the thoughtless and formless darkness can only be shared through a limited ability to articulate the return, the phenomenon of no mind must be experienced, its essential to the knowing of self. Therefore, what is spekable of, is once outside the thought process, you intuite the infinite self. You let go of your need to intellectualize the happening and simply observe it consciously from where you have all ways been...
Very true... however it is not about not being body/mind, but losing individual energy/awareness under emotional matrix. I believe it is not about I am not that, but I have lost myself under that. I know enlightenment, it is about detaching energy from emotional matrix, and thus regaining control over the mind. We are self aware energy, but lose awareness of the self by entering matrix. She directs us herself, she creates human machine...
mystics like identify the workings of the mind, as an agent of Lucifer. They recommend meditation for controlling the mind. The mind is under the sway of passions, lust, anger, greed, attachment, and vanity. Unfortunately, we are responsible for the actions of our mind, both in thought and deed, in spite of the fact that we have absolutely no control over our mind unless we learn how to control our minds through meditation
Beautiful classic music and simple words with difficult meanings... One thing I want to say is that your music is kind of distracting. It is not Zen music. Nevertheless, what a great job with your video. I still don’t understand the part of how to stop thinking? Can you really separate yourself from thinking? Did you succeed? So who are we?? Energy? Who created us?
@hyungmij Thanks for the kind words. It's hard finding quality copyright-free music. Anyway, the Enlightened would tell us to stop with the questions and Truth will reveal itself, by itself. A Course in Miracles says "nothing you think is wholly true" and with this understanding the loss of interest in our thoughts becomes a permanent practice in daily life. Unwaveringly and with fixity of focus let go of the energy behind thought. Did I succeed? Read my profile for the full story.
@hyungmij there is a few books out there that are helpful, but there is one in particular called the" power of now", it focuses on this moment and a few other of the key principles that help separate you from your thoughts. All the books are great, i just think this one is good, for a first one. cheers
@wannatradeproblems The Enlightened say there's no such thing as time. There is only the Infinite Presence of now, which is a foreverness. The "time" it takes to realize Enlightenment depends on how attached we choose to be to the world of form, it's content, sensory experience of it, and the activities of the mind. Zen Master Huang Po said "If you students of the Way do not rid yourselves of conceptual thought in a flash, even though you strive aeon after aeon, you will never accomplish it."
@Chachaman111 What a meaningless comment. Most of America (and The Middle East) claim to do just that (except in The Middle East the word for "God" is "Allah") and both places are shit holes full of ignorant people who behave like out of control animals. And you sound like one of them.
I have to write this.. I am 22 years old and on the 27. of september i felt an enlightenment or felt inlightened. It lasted about two hours and it was the most amazing and undiscribable feeling i've ever felt. I can't compare it to any other feeling as it was actually the feeling of NOT feeling any other feeling in the world. I had walked late evenings every day for about 3 weeks . Just trying to find out who i am and where i wan't my focus to be in life... And then it just happended !!
@danishwiking I hear you. The stuff in this video spontaneously occurred to me when I was twenty, 31 years ago. I knew nothing about Buddhism at the time. It doesn't even seem right to say it "occurred to me" because it was very abstract: an indescribable feeling, not a series of thoughts (although it sure set them off). Thoughts seem coarse and primitive next to that feeling. Describing it just cheapens it. Ultimately, I suppose there's nothing that can be said about it in words.
Does our world change around us, and do we all of a sudden see clearly? Is heaven beside us, who can touch us? Who can make us fall down. NOBODY. We are firm...and with that, we can not only change the world through our eyes...but we can also impact the entire world through a million small actions, and change it in the eyes of others. For...the purpose of life is to bring purpose to the lives of others. ...and that is our greatest gift to give, and also our greatest gift to recieve. What is is.
=) I dont find enlightement to think nothing, but think everything, and have the world and the mystery of the universe at the fingertips...thinking of the things that need to be thought of, when needed to be thought of...in the right thinking matter. Therefor with your thoughts and your idea's and your solving of the problems you in yourself can conquer the world. For your world is your world, and all things are processed through the mind. Once we change our mind, does it shows through our eyes.
good video for the first part but come back to me when they discover that consciousness doesnt originate in the brain. why is my awareness limited to what my brain produces and just small portion of it at that. A pretty lame "infinitely everything if you ask me." but alas, i am everything

It's wonderful when people see past the mechanistic churning of the mind, our mere reflection of context. But when someone claims to know precisely what awareness is ("Infinitely Everything beyond physicality") I wonder about the source of that claim.

how would one prove that, anyways? this is a question you cannot find an answer to outside of yourself. You have to search within and "feel". Just as there is an infinite amount of information available "outside" so is there an infinite amount of information "inside" if you are willing to silent the mind and pay attention -& I know that sounds cheesy. Most things you can only know by personal experience. If you cant get out of the brain box, take 5 grams of mushrooms in silent darkness.

This is quite in the way but the real truth is that we r both this AND the physical mind/body put together as ONE. If u divide this the result is dualistic, if u don´t it is nondualistic, as it is. Truth is, we are both, these r 2 poles of one process, 2 sides of one coin, but I get where this is going, it wisely chooses the ignored aspect, the beautiful mindless nature, emphasizing this neglected part leads to an understanding of our nature.

@TheMasenko You misunderstand everything about zen. The body is an integral part of us. Without it our consciousness would not be able to taste existence. But our consciousness is the same consciousness that runs the world. Doctors are still not 100% sure how consciousness and our minds work. My point is while the body and mind are amazing tools that we need, they are not the "source" of our existence. Awareness/consciousness/presence/being is. Without ur mind telling you you're typing, are you?
Nunzi1001 4 months ago
@TheMasenko Basically who are you when not thinking? Any thought is witnessed in your consciousness. Anything that has ever happened has happened in your consciousness, or you would not be able to talk about it. The problem is when we create an identity based on thoughts of the past, and use up all our energy defending and feeding that. Throw all that away for a second, be completely NOW, and who are you? This isnt to say the mind is bad, but to base your identity on it is. Stay as awareness.
Nunzi1001 4 months ago
@Nunzi1001 Even if im unconscious i exist. Just think on when somebody is sleeping or is in coma. The thing that we call "self" is a set of things whats existance is strictly connected to each other When you think on a wheel of a car, it can only be a functioning wheel when its on a car , and when its on the car, it becomes more than a wheel, it becomes the car. So my hand is a part of the body, but its also me. Its just the matter of that you consider it as a wholeness or a part.

@TheMasenko Your body and mind are expressions of consciousness. They are integral parts but not the source of your existence. Thats what Im saying. You could say consciousness is the gasoline that runs the car. Without it the car is useless and no experience can take place in it.
Everything appears in the still ever present awareness you are, even the mind which we take ourselves to be. This is all Zen points out, to come back home to the place that has never changed.

Yeah but in your point of view as weel, th car is not the gasoline. Its just a part as you say. An we are the car, not the gasoline. Of course the gasoline in the car is the car, because they are one, but the gasoline itself istn. The pont that you miss is that you dont consider the wholeness of the entities, you just decompose them into parts, and you say this isnt me this isnt me, and then in the end nothing remains, and you pass that thing what seek.

@jsab0 I know, by meditation. But that leads me to another question which I hope you can answer.
People say that meditation will lead us back to our natural state: the state of unlimited mind, so our unlimited Self. Yet, people describe this state in all kinds of ways by calling it blissfull, vast, etc. Now my question is: how can you say this for descriptions like these are DEFINING and thus limiting the unlimited.
FearThisChannel 7 months ago
@FearThisChannel I'm not enlightened so I honestly think it best for you to read the teachings from Bodhidharma, Huang Po or Joshu rather than asking me questions. But yes, all descriptions are limiting; they are only used for the "beginner" students who are new to this. An intellectual understanding almost always comes first and then we "throw away the books" as a silent mind takes over.
jsab0 7 months ago
@jsab0 All right. Thank you for your replies. But I have not yet found a true Path to follow for myself, so I don't know where to start off. I know the situation (we are fallen and need to go back to our natural state again), but I haven't yet found a way of living to go back or a spiritual tradition to follow. So, where should I start? Considering this, would it then be OK if I read Bodhidarma's teachings?
FearThisChannel 7 months ago
@FearThisChannel From the Zen school, Bodhidharma's teachings translated by Red Pine, Huang Po's teachings translated by John Blofeld and Joshu's teachings translated by James Green are all wonderful. From the Hindu nonduality school, anything from Ramana Maharshi or Nisargadatta. The Bhagavad Gita is incredible. The books "Who Cares?!" and "A Duet of One" from Ramesh Balsekar are profound. The Christian "Cloud of Unknowing" and "A Course in Miracles" are amazing too. Pick one, any one! :)

A question.
People say that during enlightenment you have complete understanding of everything, but it is also said that enlightenment is a trance state during meditation. And, of course, you cannot stay in this state forever. You cannot have this complete understanding every minute of your life, because you have to go back to your "ordinary consciousness" again. You cannot stay in trance forever.
So are those who say that we will have permanent understanding and experience liars or what?

@PsychedelicSexDream If we check an encyclopedia it says the words "spiritual" & "mystical" were created for the specific purpose of talking about "realities or experiences of the immanent or transcendent nature of the world."

Also, throughout the centuries every single Zen Master, every Hindu Sage and every Christian Mystic has said Reality/Consciousness/God is non-physical and transcendent. They were all speaking from what they were experiencing.

@PsychedelicSexDream But they also say things like "the experience of no experience" or "mind of no mind" to differentiate noisy limited human consciousness from the silent formless Infinite Consciousness that they're experiencing as a result of the mind going completely void of all thoughts, concepts, images and self-identity. We experience the physical only because we, as formless consciousness, constantly choose to identify with the individual brain/physical.

@AxiomaticInfinity True, it's a bit of a mix of Buddhism & Hinduism. And if we integrate the use of Christian terminology it could also be put this way: Absolutely everything is God, but the ego is not God. As long as the Teaching points to Truth beyond concepts, there is no conflict between the teachings. The cultural terminology is irrelevant. Awareness, nonduality, zen, one mind, buddha nature, silence, god, peace, love, whatever... it's all the same.

@supervanscott There's nothing "wrong" with it since there's no need to condemn or demonize a relative truth but it's beneficial to recognize that anything that's subject to change, such as the body/mind, is not the unchanging Absolute Truth and is meant to be transcended. The thing is that we never were the body/mind; it has always been an erroneous identification. Thoughts spring up on their own and therefore everything the body does is happening on it's own without a "me" actually doing it.

Sorry but this is just a bag of new age misconceptions. The theory about the pure consciousness, the witness, the observer, the subject...etc has a major problem which is the fact that we are conscious of the fact that we are conscious and we express it. That means that consciousness does provide a feedback to the brain in order to express its knowledge about the subjective experience which is consciousness itself. How come something nonphysical interacts with something physical?

Do away with concepts of "physical" and "spiritual." Do away with the idea that they are two separate states. Physicality is an aspect of spirit and spirit is an aspect of physicality. Ultimately, they are one in the same. There is no division.
bgreidgdgiss 1 year ago
To state that physicality (body/mind) is not you can have undesired consequences. This conditions one to think that only the spiritual is real and to disregard the physical as unimportant and illusory.This results in the disregard for all things physical including our physical brothers and the physical planet.This is duality of the highest order. There is no division between the spiritual and physical. The idea that they are separate is terribly outmoded.

@alexcoe, while the hero"s journey to venture to the thoughtless and formless darkness can only be shared through a limited ability to articulate the return, the phenomenon of no mind must be experienced, its essential to the knowing of self. Therefore, what is spekable of, is once outside the thought process, you intuite the infinite self. You let go of your need to intellectualize the happening and simply observe it consciously from where you have all ways been...

Unfortunately, we are responsible for the actions of our mind, both in thought and deed, in spite of the fact that we have absolutely no control over our mind unless we learn how to control our minds through meditation

Beautiful classic music and simple words with difficult meanings... One thing I want to say is that your music is kind of distracting. It is not Zen music. Nevertheless, what a great job with your video. I still don’t understand the part of how to stop thinking? Can you really separate yourself from thinking? Did you succeed? So who are we?? Energy? Who created us?

@hyungmij Thanks for the kind words. It's hard finding quality copyright-free music. Anyway, the Enlightened would tell us to stop with the questions and Truth will reveal itself, by itself. A Course in Miracles says "nothing you think is wholly true" and with this understanding the loss of interest in our thoughts becomes a permanent practice in daily life. Unwaveringly and with fixity of focus let go of the energy behind thought. Did I succeed? Read my profile for the full story.

@hyungmij there is a few books out there that are helpful, but there is one in particular called the" power of now", it focuses on this moment and a few other of the key principles that help separate you from your thoughts. All the books are great, i just think this one is good, for a first one. cheers

I think time has something to do with it. Do YOU?

@wannatradeproblems The Enlightened say there's no such thing as time. There is only the Infinite Presence of now, which is a foreverness. The "time" it takes to realize Enlightenment depends on how attached we choose to be to the world of form, it's content, sensory experience of it, and the activities of the mind. Zen Master Huang Po said "If you students of the Way do not rid yourselves of conceptual thought in a flash, even though you strive aeon after aeon, you will never accomplish it."

@Chachaman111 What a meaningless comment. Most of America (and The Middle East) claim to do just that (except in The Middle East the word for "God" is "Allah") and both places are shit holes full of ignorant people who behave like out of control animals. And you sound like one of them.

beautiful renditions with images well done!
i scan the subconscious easing blockages allowing the body to naturally heal itself .
the animals show the magical heal benefits that occur naturally without ego!

I have to write this.. I am 22 years old and on the 27. of september i felt an enlightenment or felt inlightened. It lasted about two hours and it was the most amazing and undiscribable feeling i've ever felt. I can't compare it to any other feeling as it was actually the feeling of NOT feeling any other feeling in the world. I had walked late evenings every day for about 3 weeks . Just trying to find out who i am and where i wan't my focus to be in life... And then it just happended !!

@danishwiking I hear you. The stuff in this video spontaneously occurred to me when I was twenty, 31 years ago. I knew nothing about Buddhism at the time. It doesn't even seem right to say it "occurred to me" because it was very abstract: an indescribable feeling, not a series of thoughts (although it sure set them off). Thoughts seem coarse and primitive next to that feeling. Describing it just cheapens it. Ultimately, I suppose there's nothing that can be said about it in words.

Does our world change around us, and do we all of a sudden see clearly? Is heaven beside us, who can touch us? Who can make us fall down. NOBODY. We are firm...and with that, we can not only change the world through our eyes...but we can also impact the entire world through a million small actions, and change it in the eyes of others. For...the purpose of life is to bring purpose to the lives of others. ...and that is our greatest gift to give, and also our greatest gift to recieve. What is is.

=) I dont find enlightement to think nothing, but think everything, and have the world and the mystery of the universe at the fingertips...thinking of the things that need to be thought of, when needed to be thought of...in the right thinking matter. Therefor with your thoughts and your idea's and your solving of the problems you in yourself can conquer the world. For your world is your world, and all things are processed through the mind. Once we change our mind, does it shows through our eyes.
