are not what?

 

things are not what.

 

what are you trying to say?

 

..b b.b.

 

Very simple. How can you referr to something and say it is not? If it is

referrable its because it is.

no that's not simple.

 

this however is:

 

how would you say Santa Claus is not?

 

or does saying (or asking) that..

 

in that form and fashion..

 

using those words.

 

make him: real..substantive..

 

actually a " being " that is?

 

who are you trying to kid?

 

yourself?

 

there is no self so quit trying to kid " your " self.

 

or does the referent confuse you?

 

..b b.b.

or does the referent confuse you?

 

..b b.b.

 

Santa Claus is a concept and you are referring to it as that. Now, in " the

very same thing happening again and again...nothing ever happened

otherwise..never. " you can question the nature of the thing that is our

personal history that we call life, but to say it is not, makes no sense. I

can then replay: the very same no-thing happening again.... "

 

Any further doubts dont hesitate to ask...

as long as you wish you may live in your glass tower of illusion.

perchance we are talking of different concerns.

 

it is of little import in any case.

 

..b b.b.

 

Trading occur among people buying and selling stocks or futures, or options,

or currencies, or etc...

The main difference is in the holding time. Trading is short term/very short

term holding and usually based on technical analysis. Investing in stocks is

based in more fundamental values/analysis (and macro economical parameters).

indeed.

nothing implies some thing.

 

some thing implies nothing.

 

 

either implies neither.

 

neither implies both.

it would mean there is an idea of Santa Claus existing.

 

you saying that Santa doesn't exist, affirms the existence of the idea of Santa

Any negation affirms at least the idea of an affirmation, which is being

negated.

The observation that " nothing ever happened, " said from awareness, is not

intended, at least from my perspective, as a negation of anything except

ignore-ance.

 

It is similar to saying this:

 

" all perceptions are transitory.

 

awareness understands the extent of the transitory nature of perception.

 

there is no time for an observer to separate from the observed.

 

with no time involved, one cannot have anything as existing or as not existing.

 

anything perceived as happening requires a kind of ignore-ance.

 

one must ignore the extent of the transitoriness of phenomena in order to have

any experience. "

 

so, saying, " nothing happened, " or " nothing is, " is, at least for me, a kind of

short-hand way of saying the above.

 

thus " being is " or " all is " is the affirmative side of " nothing ever happened. "

 

and one can participate in the daily common-sense consensus of an existing world

with no problem.

 

one is aware of the trance involved.

 

the trance involves a suspension of being fully aware.

 

yet, there is an amazement in the participation.

 

the world of things, qualities, people, language - it's a remarkable " act " of

awareness.

 

it's the creativity of " as if " -- as if something could be located, as if

something could have a quality, as if people could exist and interact.

 

amazing in that no time is actually involved, and yet time " appears, "

beings " appear " - which is the same thing, actually.

 

I once read some teachings about this by Dogen; he called it " being-time. "

It seems like it shouldn't be possible.

 

" Moving without moving? "

 

As though 'physical life' itself were a trance, a certain degree of unawareness.

Funny I dont see it the way both of you do. I dont think there is need of

any degree of unawareness to the seeing of the world. In fact sounds like an

absurdity to say that I must be unaware in order to live. I think you are

" stamping " some prerrogatives, some thought-out qualities in order to some

" objectivated awareness " be. I dont think that perception needs darkness or

any degree of shadowing in awareness. The ultimate is always unconditionaly

without qualities. The perception of qualities, time, space, or any event of

any kind... of illusion as such, thoughts, imagination, the false, does not

fragment the wholeness of what is.

awareness, while there is life. I dont think this is a valid statement or

fact.

The unawareness (if any) is in the seeing of it as separate from oneself.

I agree with something you said in another post: that unawareness is a kind

of focusing that the brain (thought) does. So it seems to me that the

problem is not perceptions but perceiving as a fucusing act with the aparent

exclusion of parts of the total field. The perception of a physical chair in

the world, in the adimensional spaceless timeless field is a total, whole.

Isolating the chair from totality, living in parts, is what fragmentation

is, is it not?

Yes.

 

Or happening without anything happening.

 

What makes something impossible? Mind, rules, expectations.

 

And as what is, is not bound to any mind, involves no conditions or

preconditions, and no time ... ??

 

> As though 'physical life' itself were a trance, a certain degree of

unawareness.

 

True.

 

And if the trance is broken (e.g., identification is not), physical life is not

what it was thought to be (in the trance).

 

As any verbal explanation is for a brain processing information in a physical

organism, there can be no verbal explanation of what physical life actually is

(when there is not the trance of identification as a center in/as a

mind/body/brain/organism surviving and living).

 

> P.S. if Dogen is a dog, is Dzogchen a dzog?;-).

 

LOL. Great question.

 

And how much dzog would a dzogchen chen if a dzogchen could chen dzog?

There is no impedence to awareness.

 

Where was it said that there must be darkness or shadowing?

 

Where was it said you must be unaware to see the world?

 

How is it that a " reader " states his own concepts about darkness, shadowing, and

how you must be unaware - as if someone else presented those concepts as

something right, then contests those concepts as wrong -- those very concepts

that he projected into the situation through his " interpretation " ?

 

There is a clue here about what a " reader " is, and what a " reader " does ...

 

Can the clue be read?

 

If so, where is the reader?

There is no such thing as realization of the ultimate.

 

Who would be realizing it?

 

There just is what is.

 

Where and how would realizing it come in, without bringing in time?

 

I do think that the common-sense interpretation of what it means to physically

be alive, based on language, a memory-chain and survival instincts, distorts the

understanding of what life is (what the daily living, breathing, perceiving is).

 

Simply being aware involves no distortion, no belief, and no reliance on

conceptuality.

The 'survival instincts' are the survival instincts of thought, quite frankly.

 

The " struggle to survive " , apparently seen everywhere, is the struggle of the

thought-entity to survive.

 

Beyond this, no struggle is seen anywhere. All appears at peace, as it is,

which is as it 'should be'.

Yup.

 

Perhaps no fun to talk about on a mailing list, or just doesn't add enough

support for the imaginary entity.
