life is as
'real' as it 'seems'
what is real what is unreal? these are concepts to denote how 'solid' thought feels. belief in thought makes the dream thought paints feel real. awakening is the end of belief in thought, the end of belief in belief
the end of the feeling of separation, of separate things divided by space and events divided by time
there is no territory, it’s all map
~~Nancy Neithercut
enlightenment is the dream of knowing you are a dreamt character in a dream of separate things and events, that all time, dimension, causality, all qualities and characteristics, all distinction, all division, all measurement, as well as ideas like 'wholeness' or ‘oneness’ or ‘enlightenment’ are made up.
there is no convincing you of this, as it does not happen to you,
an imaginary persona in this dream of separation.
this is not a belief or understanding or a philosophy, it is a profound shift in perspective that does not happen to you or me….
there are no ‘enlightened’ people
there are no things divided by space nor events strung along a timeline
there is only what seems to appear,
looking and feeling like anything at all
self arising and simultaneously self erasing
without time or timelessness
without movement or non movement
there is no other
takes yer breath away, don’t it?
