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)

Re: Another Guide of Sorts:

awareness, I think that is what I mean, if by in-dividual you mean the one who has come to understand the act of reflection in which the temporal sense of self is created.

That understanding can only have been come upon by the loss of that identity, which is what i would tag as the particular reflection, or the reflection of the particular.

Words are not easy, but they can be worked to fit an understanding, I think.

Re: Another Guide of Sorts:

I would add that if in that loss of identity, a transformed identity is created, that new is still of the old.

Re: Another Guide of Sorts:

yes, i understand that. thats a description, of course. now, the in-dividual as a fact, not as the description, is action, total action, because there is no part, which acts, which would be non-action, so this action IS understanding, IS attention and in this attention, there is NO one.

Re: Another Guide of Sorts:

Ok, I can buy into that, which is to say that it fits my understanding.

You are saying, I think, that the absence of the reflection necessary to entertain the particular sense of self is another way of saying that there is *no* one, where the one is what we may now call the particular.

yes, thats right! the particualars action is non-action, the ending of that particular, which is called one, IS action, in which there is no one.:-). please look at this IS, it is the "outcome" of the ending of the particular, which IS. in the ending of the observer IS the observation without the observed.

Ok, I could say that this way: the observed, that mirror the observer uses to find itself is missing, so the finding of the observer is not possible, or again, with that mirror missing, the reflection cannot be made.

Now the question I have is how this is to be understood. I can see that absence being taken as a transformation, which brings the reflection back into the game at a transcendental level. Is this how you see it?

i cannot find a reason, why to use the word transcendental, because i dont see any reason to use it. when the empty particular mind moves into the fiel of the unknow, then its after this jump in the field of the unknown, and noted that it was there before that jump. so it can also be said, that after that jump, that jump was not needed, put perhaps it was needed, otherwise it cannot be said, that it was not needed.
so to go into that what is meant beyond the word "presence", a presence "out of time", then it behaves so, that the content of this presence, if i want to use this word, that the "content" IS "the ending of the observer", it happens simultaneous: the ending of the "input" IS the output. so our conscioussness is not in a fix state, which is our self-knowledge, as a stream, as a stream, in which every moment comes an input as an impression of the "presence in time", in this ending of time IS the presence "out of time".

eden, its not so that i cannot understand, what you are saying. its only so, that , to say this from "outside" is something other, than to go through all that. I have not the impression, that you have gone once through all that, at least you has not talked about. so to say something intellectally, which could be obvious, but without doubt in the beginning, is like to say something, which was only touched by your eyes, but not deeply, inwardly, with your whole of being.

your impression is not accurate. so rather than answer the question, you have started talking about your impressions of me that you have or don't have. would you like to try again, and this time see if you can answer the question itself without getting sidetracked by what impressions you may or may not have of the one asking the question?

again, impression happens, this is so, because brain, as a matter of time, accumulates. synchronously, if its in contact with energy from the very beginnining, the accumulition is ending, thats why the mind, the brain remain fresh.

Re: Another Guide of Sorts:

there is noting empty about your mind...it is full of fragmentation and all sorts of flavors of self-importance, along with all sorts of beliefs in imaginary transformation that you think your mind is undergoing. 

The proof is in the fragmentation.

you are speakin about yourself, eden. thats the point. you cannot understand the ending of fragmentation, the ending of the particular, if you had not gone through all that. so it remains from your point of view imaginations, thats not heavy to understand.
so at the one side, you says transformation happens everwhere, but in the brain it cannot happen. it sounds very confused, which it is. so thats the particular mind, which hasnt undergone transformation, it has never ended, so it hasnt learned to end, thats the mediocrity and vulgarity of an particular mind, which is looking from outside, throwing with confused statements and so on. look at these fragmentations, you are these fragmentatins, all of them, not to be detected in your own confusion. or let it be.

Re: Another Guide of Sorts:

which is why your mind is full of mediocrity and vulgarity and constant fragmentations and silly impressions.  and which is why you are unable to answer questions about the one movement of life....which cannot be divided into smaller movements to be analyzed and given false importance.   you are as confused as ever and couldn't spot fragmentation if your life depended on it....which it does. 

that's the funny part.  have fun!
