The dog has made something happen.
Or is it a mere illusion on the part of the dog ?
Oneness or the life force in the dog grabs the sausage, the dog didn't do it...dog is just a concept....it is oneness that knows the feeling of pleasure and the concept dog as it arises in the exact same moment...it becomes aware of it's own knowing.
The concept ''pleasure'' and ''dog'' also arise in oneness and are known in the exact same moment as they arise.
What are concepts, sensations, and feelings arising in?
They arise in awareness....otherwise they could not be known or experienced. There is an awareness here right now that knows and experiences life as it's happening....in that every thing is known.....except for the awareness itself...that cannot be known by any thing arising within it.
Lets see what arises within awareness.....thoughts. beliefs, sensations, feelings, emotions, words, concepts, ideas, sound, light, the list is endless....but can you as awareness hold the things I've just mentioned up in from of you and look at them ?....no you can't do it because you are those things...and you are that which is aware of them.
How do you the concept human know the dog enjoys a good feeling? ...there is no way you could know unless you were the dog. But you cannot be the concept for reasons I've just explained, and you cannot be the awareness because you cannot be what you already are.
Concepts don't know or do anything, the knower doer is the awareness which cannot be known by the concept...the concept i already known by awareness.
No one is aware because there is only awareness, therefore everything is aware.
Concepts are words which are in essence meaningless in and of themselves but meaning nonetheless is given but not by the human concept but the one who knows the concept as it arises in you which is the awareness of the concept.... that's you.
Oneness or awareness or life or what ever it calls itself.... is not a concept, it calls itself a concept because it cannot know or see itself by any other way other than as and through the concept / image of itself.... the concept gives birth to no thing...or put another way...the no thing gives birth to the concept....in other words....death is life - and life is death...they are the same one aka this immediate aliveness here right now which has no concept of being alive or dead except in it's own conception....self created, self taught, self perpetuating, from self to self an endless source.
The dog is just a dead conceptual name for the unknown live action of life grabbing a sausage and the feeling that comes with it ..the feeling is the effect (reaction) of what's already happened in life's constant flux....all happenings are un-caused actions in the timelessness of infinite space..or awareness expressing itself infinitely forever in eternity...events are only known by their effect in cause and effect timespace duality...which is an appearance ...aka a re-action....an illusion.
..LIFE is running and functioning quietly and unknowingly as one unitary action is not an illusion... life is happening before there is an awareness of the happening by itself..therefore awareness can be either latent or kinetic ... It's one life in action appearing as every re-action.
