@HealthyPlanetCT If awakening was world wide perhaps there would be no plans, just like animals have no real plans--ALL INTUITIVE. Do Bees make plans? Do they refer to their hive-building books? It all just flows and we seem to create the appearance of non-flow in our own peculiar manner. We could speculate and say that wakeful beings like Scott make plans because the framework of plans is already present in the egoic society we live, yet perhaps plans would cease if everyone woke up?
I dont know what to know. May be it (Awareness) knows itself and let other stuff appears in it so that daily life can go on. I dont know why? I am sure it knows or may be not. Is it even there, does the eagle circling in the sky care to know that? Why do only humans make up the meaning or that there is no meaning?
Question: If i am in the dreamstate and the reason for this is i believe the thoughts about myself and my world, how do i stop believing the thoughts which i very much do?
What is the mechanism of belief? i accept or reject a thought as true or untrue, what does that even mean? how does that function, or does knowing how it functions just become another belief? Is this something i have to 'realise' and if so how does that work? Or is that just another doing? Please help me, i'm going insane!lol
But surely there must be a mechanism of belief? I believed something and then later on i changed my mind and believed something else. That has happened, but how did it happen? I can't recall how it happened, I was just convinced of something different. Do i just keep poking holes in my belief systen? Questioning it? And then somehow the 'me' drops away? Is that how it goes?
There is no mechanism of belief because belief is just a thought happening now...any practice you make confirms there is a separate me;actually "you" can't choose to practice or not...hopeless,helpless,meaningless!if that is seen a relaxation can arrise ;or not...:-)
Um - so why do we bother making plans? Should we be?

Awareness becomes realised. Knowing to nondualists is realisation, not the idea of knowing that we typically think of when we say we know something.
Anyways, the question is. Does there tend to be a lot of yawning occurring while realising awareness? This is a serious question.

There is nothing to know and no one to know it, and it's all wonderful

It's funny how the best spiritual teachers are the ones who don't know shit. Some teachers! :P This was the most clear clip so far, Scott.

The point is you can't stop believing your thoughts! you can't stop trying either....because there is no "you"!!
