Any idea or concept is an object, so the term " awareness, " being a

representation of an idea through a word, can give the false impression that

awareness has been objectified, or can be treated as an object.

You have been talking as if there is a separately existing knower who can " have

a ticket " or " keep their hope " or generally gain something from having a belief

of some kind.

 

As if the separable knower isn't an assumption and a belief.

 

Any object that you define and know as an object requires the nonobjectified

awareness of that object in order for it to be known as an object.

 

They co-arise, the object and the awareness of it, the unqualifiable and

unlocated knowing of object's qualities and location. Because " knowing " is

considered as a quality of the human object, one talks about an unqualifiable

" awareness " that allows " knowing " to be comprehended as such and attributed to a

human object.

 

The awareness of no qualities and the object with assumed and designated

qualities - such as location in relation to an observer, qualities of color, or

sound, or being perceived at a certain point in time relative to other

perceptions.

 

One notices this immediately.

 

It's the " how " of designated qualities and form.

 

Including human qualities and form.

 

Including the designated human quality of having the ability to know something.

 

This is like a step backward from everything - only without having a place to

step to.

 

Keeping this fuzzy so as to not have to contend with the fact of the unknown is

the only reason it gets treated as if secret or special.

 

Consider that in assuming a human object as knower, there is an assumed knowing

of the knower as knower. And it's impossible to say where this knowing of the

knower as knowing, is located. If you try to find it, you create an infinite

regress: knowing of the knowing of the knowing of the knowing knower, ad

infinitum.

 

To try to find it, you have to keep stepping back, to get out of the picture,

but each step back makes a new picture.

 

It's where this infinite regress breaks down that there is pure unknown

awareness - of no qualities, not even the qualities associated with awareness.

 

The reason for using the term " awareness " is to say that this unknown nothing is

not some distant black hole, it is the present moment as is being experienced -

one can thus provisionally use the term " awareness. "

 

This has nothing to do with gaining a new belief, or getting some kind of

personal ticket to a liberating nirvana or eternity to continue one's existence

as.

 

It is as much as step back from personal existence as anything else.

 

There is nothing to gain here, or gain from.

So many words, Dan, simply about:

 

Consciousness is it's content. The 'knower' is the memory about those contents.

P: Well, this is your best clarification to date,

and I agree with it, but using the term awareness

is a bad choice because unless you include

this clarification every time you use the term

for the unknown, seekers will understand it as " Me. "

D: Unless the assumption of separation dissolves, and

the center dissolves, it won't matter what is said.

 

It's not unusual for the assumption of separation

to be maintained, and all kinds of " nondual truth "

to be believed.

 

Those beliefs then become a way to maintain the

assumption of separation while denying that it is

being held. After all, I know all these things

about " nonduality " don't I?

P.S. At the moment the assumption of dividedness drops,

sensing, awareness, and non-centered being are

the same - there won't be any problem understanding

that being aware doesn't constitute a " me " as an

add-on, nor a " body-mind object " as an add-on,

because there is only sensing. Empty sensing.

Nothing sensed.

Not just that, Werner.

 

Also addressing the dropping of the assumption of the separately existing and

positioned knower.

 

So, has the Werner-center for knowing dropped away?

dan, i'm sorry but you write like a chrisitan monk from the middle ages who's

writing volumes on metaphysics. sometimes i have to read it twice.

 

your writing rest on major assumptions:

 

1. there's no separate knower: i thought evolution created billions of separate

knowers who are called humans.

 

2. awareness is not an object: this is the similar to how aristotelian

christians based their belief that mind is like the soul and therefore you can't

find the mind anywhere...not even in the brain. i believe awareness happens in

human brain. trees are not aware since they have no brain...because they don't

need to move.

 

that which recognizes itself is a neurological process, evolved to give us

advantage for survival. one may even argue that our spiritual beliefs are also

neurological glitch that passed through generatoins since the belief in divine

helps us cope better.

hi hur - i just write as it comes to me. glad you enjoy reading it. likewise,

i'm sure.

 

> your writing rest on major assumptions:

i don't assume there is no separate knower. i just don't assume that there is

one - and the only separate knower i've ever found is an assumption without

anything there to back it up.

 

you sound like this assumption seems real to you.

 

that is where you and i differ.

 

it also is where you and nisargadatta differ, apparently.

 

> 2. awareness is not an object: this is the similar to how aristotelian

find the mind anywhere...not even in the brain. i believe awareness happens in

human brain. trees are not aware since they have no brain...because they don't

need to move.

 

it's funny to me that you dedicate a list to nisargadatta and believe these

things that are in the opposite direction of how he spoke.

 

you assume these existing objects separate from awareness, like brain, trees,

etc.

 

my point is that you have no way of knowing about any separately existing things

from awareness.

 

whenever you know of anything, awareness is already there, and is how the

knowing of tree, brain, etc. occurs as knowing.

 

there is no such thing as knowing without awareness.

 

there is no such thing as a thing that exists apart from awareness.

 

people can talk all they want about how things have their own existence to

themselves - it's just never the experiential fact.

 

it's speculation and inference - but never experienced that way.

 

> that which recognizes itself is a neurological process, evolved to give us

you are just giving me words that represent ideas that you believe.

 

these beliefs don't exist separate from you, the believer.

 

it is your awareness that gives these beliefs whatever life they seem to have.

 

it doesn't matter that they are beliefs that negate awareness and assume

separately existing things, like neurons, that supposedly produce awareness.

 

because awareness is right there, now, as you notice these beliefs, which are

thoughts, which are only there as you are aware of them.

 

nisargadatta differentiated consicousness and awareness so he could discuss what

neurons and body-minds do, and not assume that awareness could be detached from

the picture.

 

again, it's funny to me that you apparently like nisargadatta a lot, yet

maintain the kinds of beliefs that his way of discussing things undermined.

 

or in your case, didn't undermine.

 

smiles!

P: Shit, Dan! Did Nis appointed you to speak for him?

You, are just using him as a stick to beat Hur to agree

with you. Appealing to Authority is an admission that

your opinions can't stand on their own. Swim or sink, Dan.

Don't hold on to your supposed infallibility to interpretade

Nis for us. You don't know more about what Niz meant

than Hur, Werner, Bob, or I.

you are just giving me words that represent ideas that you believe.these beliefs don't exist separate from you, the believer.it is your awareness that gives these beliefs whatever life they seem to have.

-d-

 

Your? Your awareness? I would not add that "your" in there.

-geo-it doesn't matter that they are beliefs that negate awareness and assume separately existing things, like neurons, that supposedly produce awareness.because awareness is right there, now, as you notice these beliefs, which are thoughts, which are only there as you are aware of them.

-d-

 

The same. If you say "you are aware of them" then there is a split as some you and some awareness. Then it becomes similar to

the popular way awareness is used: some by-product of the brain.

-geo-nisargadatta differentiated consicousness and awareness so he could discuss what neurons and body-minds do, and not assume that awareness could be detached from the picture.again, it's funny to me that you apparently like nisargadatta a lot, yet maintain the kinds of beliefs that his way of discussing things undermined.or in your case, didn't undermine.

the truth is the silence the words travel through, like streetcars coming and

going.

 

bob and dan are like streetcars coming and going.

 

no need for articulating the truth that the silence is.

 

words come and go, no problem.

You love being dramatic, but you miss the point.

 

Pulling a comment out of context to try to hit me over the head with it and stir

up drama. Silly.

 

Of course there's no authority.

 

Yet there can be resonance with words that were given.

 

That's all.

 

Just a resonance with the words, and no drama involved, Peter.

It's just colloquial speech, Geo.

 

What are you, the advaita word police?

Nonsense. Are you so taken in by words?

 

Constantly in these messages words like " you " and " I " are used.

 

Are you scared of them?

 

Do they disturb your reality?

He said something like " the addiction to words must go " (paraphrased) on the

Nondualfuel list.

 

Words can make one feel as though there are " others " (or not), if one's reality

is being defined by words.

 

Obviously, there's no verbal formula or suggestion possible about how this could

change.

Nonsense,

 

we are social beings and we communicate via words like for example here on this

list.

 

Its really a shame to see how nondualist babblers have lost any commonsense and

are caught in a complicated stale web of words themselves.

I'm not a social being.

 

What's funny is that I was never able to socialize sanely and freely until

realizing this.

Clearly, I'm here socializing on this list.

 

That doesn't make me a " social being " .

 

One is always alone.

 

Aloneness is the Fact of existence.
