Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

An insight into the thinker and thought...

Hi,  it just struck anew and with great clarity talking to one of the members here, that the division between the thinker and the thought is illusory.  The thinker thinking himself to be separate from thought is the cause of all confusion, division.  But the fact, is the division doesn't exist, meaning false, and the thinker IS thought.  How do ya see?  Please feel free to share.  Will talk in leisure.

I think this is one of the most important insights on our journey and the one that brings peace to our problems. Theres nowhere to run.

The K nuts(and the other nuts) here at the forum will go so far as to say that thought is not part of the universe at all.  The ego will make whatever clever divisions it needs to keep duality alive.  Good vs evil, ego vs goodness, the universe vs the non-universe, etc.

Thought must end or it will destroy the universe!!

Right, very easy to get.
Listen carefully to instructor who’s just making a break in pissing around boiling gall and you got it.

For everyone to try, just start, who is the first, the time is running…

Yes, you are right, night, in one way.
On the other hand if the thinking is stopped the universe turns out to be entirely different. So we might be speaking about two different universes – a human universe and real one.

But formally you are right. It’s just another saying the thinker is the thought.
If you have had that experience, I’m really glad to know that.

Nobody also said there was no one.
I keep hearing about that special paradise since you are here on the forum, but have never heard there is an entrance at all.
It looks rather as your private property.

Thanks for invitation, anyway.

Your universe is quite full of imaginations, isn't it. I suggest you stay there for a bit longer. The real one might be a bit too intense.

Albright, thank you for your good intentions. We might come back to this topic when I see you know a slightest bit what you are talking about.

I have a suggestion to you in return. Meanwhile, you might be interested to make an offer to pearl. Maybe she wants to buy another couple of cottages for her possible nieces, ants or uncles in that area on the picture or maybe even the picture itself.
Anyway, it would be a stunning bargain process; as long as the all four arms of yours, for sure.

See you after.

Awesome,LMP, I think you got the gist of what I shared.  And I do see that it's a powerful insight one capable of destroying all illusion, the end of all problems.  But the thinker maintains he is seperate from thought, or rather it's his conditioning itself, until he sees the illusion clearly thereby breaking free.

Ridiculous isn't it?  They maintain they are separate from their thoughts and experiences and even insist upon it, so as to let their sleves which are full of fragmentation survive.  Evidently most K nuts do not get the gist of their masters insight and fight with it like a squirrely fighting with a nut not knowing how to crack it open.

Listen carefully to what LMP is saying and you may actually discover something anew.  There are no instructors here, nor is pearl the source of your problems.  All your problems arise from the fact that you do not see clearly that the thinker is the thought, not seeing intellectually but factually with the whole of your mind, heart, brain and being.  If you do see this for yourself share your observations, insights but keep the vulgarity out, if you can, or go join facebook.

That's cool, Eden.  It's a beautiful day here too, and not much to do than hang out with Sach, prepare some good lunch when he gets back home for lunch, and then going to see the art exposition at his school later.  A chilled out day totally and I am totally rested, relaxed, enjoying the peace of this beautiful day. Aloha!

Re: An insight into the thinker and thought...

Eden, most K nuts talk endlessly about fragmentation, completely unaware that they're it.  as though the fragmentation they talk about is somehow seperate from them.  But if they had the deligence and clear sightedness to see that they are it, then a transformation might be possible, but thus far they seem to be content with the ideals of what should be and avoiding what they actually are!  The deception is evident to all except to them.

Hi Pearl, i am not clear as to what you exactly mean here. do you mean that you had merely understood this on an intellectual (verbal) level before and you now actually 'see' this?

Well, it's what you do evidently and in the way you addressed your comment intellectually, superficially which is more bickering than genuine interest to inquiry.  For if you read my post not merely intellectually you'd see I said anew.  It was clearly seen in the comment of a poster how the distance was being maintained, the thinker apart form thought, but obviously he seemed totally oblivious to it. Everything can be seen anew as if for the first time only, although it was evident to this writer since long (although it's not a matter of time here as you seem to suggest, how long, how new, or old) which is what I've been conveying in many posts, but you like most do not show a deep understanding as you seem content with intellectual surfing, content to talk about Bhom, or listen to this one talk or another, but all really superficial.  I've yet to see you share any deep understanding and or insight into your own mind and heart and life.  What's stopping you to delve deep?  Why content to be a second hand person?  Try coming out of your little shell and show some sense, some grace and if possible some maturity into this matter.

Ah, yes. Thank you for the reply. I had almost forgotten .. never mind

As an aside note, since you mention 'dwelving', as I wrote to sds but a few days ago, I have shared on this forum more, a lot, a hell of a bloody lot more than anyone - in any sane frame of mind - would on a public forum.
Only excuse being, I was in a bit of a state of shock at the time.

Regards Pearl.
