The Joy Of No Self 1 Mandi Solk

[uilium]

I used to fear there wasn't a self but then I was contemplating suffering and how this pain might be caused at the root level by a fear that my self would die or go to hell and so-on...then I caught a glimpse of how there could be no-self and then I didn't fear death...(its hard to explain). I no longer feared not existing when I die. It is so hard to explain this experience.

@ssolo8 Look at your mind.

Who thinks "What a bummer?"

You'll find it arose, automatically; probably followed by a physical emotion.

It isn't a bummer, though. It's the way it has always been, and you were far more in-tune with it as a child, especially as an infant.

Babies are. They don't think and then act. They just do. It's entirely impersonal to them.

@ncripzx

You aren't awareness any more than you are the things perceived by awareness. Perception, like thoughts, are completely automatic. Nothing stands behind the 'camera' of perception.

That which says "I am awareness" is not awareness. That's an automatic, unchosen thought. Perception itself is quite stoic, and unaffected by anything it sees.

There is no You, so you can't be awareness. You aren't the body, mind or perception of either thereof!

"...That isn't true. And the reason it can't be true is because there is nobody over there that has it so there can't be somebody over here that has it..." that's just beautiful. Thank you for this upload!

Saying I and ME and stuff like this shows self exists, because their is never a lose of self but only a seemingly euphoria because your body shuts of because of shock to remove the sense of pain so that YOU DON'T DIE FROM PAIN!! Then your sense of shock increases with your mental created illusions...

People like you give to much meaning to your own bodily functions just because they aren't induced by self or created often by natural things.

@brokenfeathers91 what do you mean can you explain more.

[Machielovic]

@brokenfeathers91 it does not prove shit! Ever had the guts to really LOOK in your own experience if there is a self or not? My guess is no! Try it before boring everyone with this nonsense!

She has such a sweet, fun and light (enlightened ;) way of expressing. I'm in love.

Just read MAndi solk's website. It is amazing. She answers all your questions if there is a 'your' .
