There can also be a habit of the mind to subtly stop the disillusionment of ego, by not continuing to abide in awareness, once again looking to 'the world' with 'rose colored' spiritual glasses(it's all good), but if this is so, it will be revealed. I really appreciate this sharing, I feel it's heart intention, but of course there is always a 'flipside' to any expression. :) (cont.)
This is all that is required, what comes comes, no concern to 'particulars' of any kind. There can be the continued questioning of any concepts that 'someone' may exhibit, to lead the mind's attention back to awareness, but to offer 'what is' gives the mind more to believe or 'know'.
What need to define what arises from Self, when it is 'seen/known/felt' as Self before it's arising/appearing? What remembering could be more intimate or powerful than this? (cont.)
Yes, any 'idea' of anything is unnecessary, especially when it comes to 'self'. I like how this ended, but there is no 'flipside'. In the true revealing this is all conveyed, obvious, that all IS and IS NOT Self, both and neither...and even Self goes. This is why there is no need for the mind to pay attention to the phenomenality, to give it any importance or value, for all is as it is in the abiding in awareness. (cont.)
scott is a living buddha. so clear and so full of compassion. If everything is happening, then we can simply watch the whole show manifest itself. Nothing to do realy as a person.
Using logic and reasoning, may be we can say that there are two types of people who are trying to throw pointers to that space that cannot be named because it is not what it is named.
First type people are telling the concept of it from memory after touching it and the second type of people are grounded in it while communicating about it.
Both of these types people are trying to communicate it to a third type of people like myself who has no idea of it. And they are also trying to communicate it to a forth type of people who have lots of ideas about it. Who will communicate to whom?
Only the second type people can communicate. Only the third type people can receive communication thats all.
The first and the forth types of people are only wasting time or having fun and I have done both of those in the past.
You are recognizing the same problem as the historical Buddha. Namely the tendency of the mind to fall either into the extreme of permanence, or the extreme of nihilism. Thanks Scott for pointing to the profound middle way.
Shakyamuni Buddha: "If you tighten a string on a musical instrument too much, it will break. But if it's too slack, it will not play."
'No doer/nothing happening' is the realization that all that is
occurring is only Self...all phenomenal existence arising from the
Source that is 'no-thing' at all...the only 'happening' is 'no-thing'.
The play of Leela, Maya, illusion of 'matter moving', the light of
Consciousness projecting the movie of Life.

Yep. Nothing=everything, and everything=nothing. No use in denying the unfolding. Step off, and let it be.
