because you imagine there are two sets of people.

 

and who can form this imagining, other than an " I " that is separated from the

people being categorized?

on this list, I am addressing understanding totality

 

this is what Nisargadatta spoke to

 

in some situations, conceptualizing black skinned and red skinned and white

skinned smartasses would make sense

 

in such a situation, an " I " is positioned.

 

what is positioned, dissolves as positioned.

 

along with the " world " it perceived, and the time (duration) in which the seeing

took place.

 

so, on this list I am addressing the dissolution of " I " and " world " at the point

(of no-point) of understanding.

 

you could also ask:

 

do you accept the fact of sitting at a table typing to watch words appear on a

computer screen?

 

it is basically the same question

 

a perceiver is situated to observe the screen and notice the words

 

the perceiver/perceived separation is understood as an imagining, an appearance.

 

there is no actual distance apart.

 

yet, imagining (imaging) that distance allows the experience of typing messages.

 

it arises, it dissolves.

 

i hope this answers your question.

If one is aware without attaching to personality, there is no such thing as

personality.

 

geo> That is what i say. Then personality is a set of conditionings.

==

 

If personality is an imagined pattern based on assumed differences, and one

is aware without imagining, then that imagined pattern isn't found anywhere.

 

geo> Wrong. If one is aware without imagining then personality is a set of

conditionings. Some people are conditioned to inject heroin. Otheres to

coffee.

===

 

Now, where is an " I " going to placed (located) that is different from " them "

who are placed in a location separate?

 

geo> No I needed. I see organisms as such and as such....some blond others

brunette.

===

 

Is not this placement of I's in different locations, itself the so-called

" personality " or " I-center " ??

 

geo>There is no real separate I. There is the feeling AS IF there was one -

and a behaviour proper to such belief.

===

 

What would your concern be about " them " and what " they " are doing wrong

(maintaining I-centers), if there is no " I " being placed (located) anywhere?

And if there is no attachment being attempted to any personality (or

organism) anywhere?

 

geo> No right, no wrong. Just different.

===

 

You say " if there is clarity you will not try to say these words. "

 

I don't see how you would know that.

 

geo> AS there is no noise as some imagined center there is clarity upon

relations.

===

 

If the totality that is all situations is co-arising with/as awareness in

all cases, how is that going to be divided into those who have clarity and

respond in certain predictable ways, and others who lack clarity and respond

in opposite and also predictable ways?

 

Rather, one aware is not apart from any and all arisings, and understands

that the observer of the arising is co-arising with what is perceived.

 

If what is arising is arising of/from no-thing (as you stated in a previous

post), then this includes simultaneously whatever arises, does it not?

 

And concerns with predicting what certain organisms will do, and how much

clarity each organism has, would evaporate, no?

 

geo> No. The other day my friends doughter wanted to jump from a cliff. I

held her organism.

I view clarity as awareness.

 

Awareness is clarity.

 

Everything arising is co-arising with/through awareness.

 

Clarity isn't something that guides certain people and not other people.

 

Clarity is not a person possession.

 

This is why awareness isn't able to attach to a personality, or to a

personalized being, or to any definable being as such.

 

geo> Awareness is not a " attached " to some personality. You are getting it

wrong. Personality is a set of behaviours. To the person living these

pesonalities feels as if he was defending something inside, or improving it,

or fearing for it. Personality is the self seen from outsde the organism.

===

 

Awareness isn't having contact with some people and not others.

 

Awareness isn't a personal god of some sort, being possessed by one and not

another.

 

geo> No it is not indeed. I did not say it was. There is a focusing in the

sense if inner entity.

===

 

You ask about concentration camps. What about viruses and bacteria that

cause extremely painful and lingering ways of dying? What about asteroids or

suns going nova (that knock out whole solar systems)?

What about tsunamis that kill parents of children, and leave children to

fend for themselves in villages that have been 70% destroyed?

 

geo> Some things can be changed and otheres not. Forget this issue....it

leads nowhere. I regret having raise it. I dont want to change the world.

===

 

It is easy to imagine that awareness is some guide of guiding force for

certain people and not others, and those people will do good things. And

then it is easy to imagine that other people will do bad things because they

aren't able to find awareness, or they are choosing not to.

 

This way of looking at things only works up to a certain point.

 

Past that point, it won't work.

 

Certainly, people have done extremely cruel and hurtful things to other

people. And certainly, one could say that those people weren't able to

understand their non-separation from those they inflicting harm upon.

 

geo> So...?

 

However, at the point of nondivision with/as totality, the entirety of the

co-arising of events is clear.

 

geo> At this point there is no personality.

=====

 

This is the point I'm referring to, and past this point the means to pick

and choose which person is guided by awareness and which person isn't

dissolves.

 

There is simply the mutual co-arising and co-determination of all phenomenal

events, past, present, future without division.

 

geo> You can choose what interests you from an infinitude of options. If you

are interested in understanding what personality is - you are. If not - then

no. It is your agenda.

Yes. As I'm reading these messages sequentially, I responded before reading

what you wrote above. What I wrote fits with what you wrote. Separating out

" the organism " involves the same conceptual dynamic that separates out an

" I " or anything else. It is necessary for thought to function that such

delineations be made. Yet, without the operation of thought, no such

divisions are found.

 

This is not to say that thought is bad, or one should get rid of thought

(because saying that thought is bad, or one should not be thinking, is

because you imagine there are two sets of people.

 

and who can form this imagining, other than an " I " that is separated from

the people being categorized?

Those identified with their body feel there is an inner entity inside looking at

an outside world - AS IF. They behave accordingly, they react accordingly, they

live accordingly...nothing is better or worth. Geo is not interested in changing

the world or humanity.

> -geo-

 

The person is not someone who identifies with their body or doesn't, or

identifies with something else, or doesn't. That is because the person doesn't

exist apart to identify with something. The person is the attempt at

identification, however that takes place.

 

You can differentiate fat people from skinny people, or use any criteria you

like, including more aware people and less aware people.

 

Whatever works for you, conceptually, as you employ thought.

 

However, none of that will reveal what is so that thought doesn't touch, what

isn't in the realm of thought's delineations.

 

Thus, the person comes to the point of understanding, that the person is the

attempt at identification.

 

At this point, there is a shift from the person being considered as the one who

understands, to the person being the attempt at attaching, that is being

understood.

You say I am wrong. That is your judgment. All I can say is that here is

awareness that does not depend on attaching to a personality, and no personality

is real here. The " Dan " personality is not real here, anymore than " Geo, "

" Tim, " or any other. There isn't a patterning going on here that was determined

in the past. Nothing is being continued from a past and brought forward in

time.

 

That is all I can say.

 

You can certainly reject what I am saying, as you have.

 

You tell me below that you are seeing without an " I, " and others apparently you

judge to be seeing with an " I. " You sound convinced that there is no

identification going on with this characterization of yourself.

 

So, I take in what you have said, and don't find myself believing you. You told

Bob not to believe you, and I assume this would also apply now. I don't believe

you.

I don't have a problem with wanting to understand personality, or anything else.

 

But as long as there is an object you are directing your awareness to, to try to

understand, you have a subject/object division involved.

 

Anything that comes out of such an understanding, carries the subject/object,

self/other division.

 

To understand without such division, involves no personality here, and no

personality there.

 

In other words, there is no personality involved as subject, and no self as

subject - and no personality involved as object, nor other having a personality

as object.

 

And this is true for any object, not just personality.

The person is not someone who identifies with their body or doesn't, or

identifies with something else, or doesn't. That is because the person

doesn't exist apart to identify with something. The person is the attempt at

identification, however that takes place.

Thus, the person comes to the point of understanding, that the person is the

attempt at identification.

 

At this point, there is a shift from the person being considered as the one

who understands, to the person being the attempt at attaching, that is being

understood.

None of that has anything to do with understanding that isn't involved in

subject/object division.

 

Everything you're discussing involves objectification.

 

Understanding, awareness, with no object, has no subject.

 

It is not a matter of skill or choice.

 

One contends with the identification with experiences, including the

objectification involves.

 

One moves through and past experiencing, so to speak, through and beyond

objects.

 

Now, there is neither subject nor object located.

 

Yet, one can discuss objects, no problem.

 

Thought functions, memory functions.

Yes.

 

Call it " I " or call it " the observer, " whatever you wish.

 

Yes.

 

You are located as a subject to which an object can appear and be understood.

 

You understand that you are looking at someone with red hair.

 

That experience is of the past.

 

Redness is based on memories of red.

 

Hair is based on memories of hair.

 

The distance between you and the one you observe is based on memories of

distance.

 

The same with the person who is angry.

 

The same with any experience, any perception that involves recognizable

qualities.

 

Any experience that involves time (duration) and space (location).

You are located as a subject to which an object can appear and be

understood.

 

You understand that you are looking at someone with red hair.

 

geo> No. That is just how the organism manages to live in the human world.

If it is the way you say, how can you talk about awareness and selflessness

and atemporality in this list? You must see the keyboard, its color..etc...

So all that is just theory, hipocrisy? BTW, you are being an hipocrit right

now, are you not?

===

 

That experience is of the past.

 

Redness is based on memories of red.

 

Hair is based on memories of hair.

 

The distance between you and the one you observe is based on memories of

distance.

 

The same with the person who is angry.

 

The same with any experience, any perception that involves recognizable

qualities.

 

Any experience that involves time (duration) and space (location).

 

geo> The human world dan, that is the human world.

You say I am wrong. That is your judgment. All I can say is that here is

awareness that does not depend on attaching to a personality, and no

personality is real here. The " Dan " personality is not real here, anymore

than " Geo, " " Tim, " or any other. There isn't a patterning going on here that

was determined in the past. Nothing is being continued from a past and

brought forward in time.

 

That is all I can say.

 

You can certainly reject what I am saying, as you have.

 

geo> No I am not rejecting what you are saying. Except that you say that to

recognise a keyboard, letters, words, sentences, color of the table, etc..

you must have an " I " (in another post). So how should your statement

" nothing is being continued from a past and brought forward in time. "

understood. A mistake?

None of that has anything to do with understanding that isn't involved in

subject/object division.

 

Everything you're discussing involves objectification.

 

Understanding, awareness, with no object, has no subject.

 

It is not a matter of skill or choice.

 

One contends with the identification with experiences, including the

objectification involves.

 

One moves through and past experiencing, so to speak, through and beyond

objects.

 

Now, there is neither subject nor object located.

 

Yet, one can discuss objects, no problem.

 

Thought functions, memory functions.

And where is " the street that I shouldnt recognise in order to not have an

I " ?
