No, this is a fallacy, a conceptual belief there is a ''someone'' with a brain and a body... That I AM my brain and body, is a conceptual believed idea, an appearance appearing nowhere in this already direct manifest I-ness...to then assume I am this and that ''other'' than this I is the illusion.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Oct 08, 2018 7:16 amNote the fact is whatever results from meditation and other spiritual practices are confined only to what is happening to mental, brain and body activities of the individual person.
There is no person who has a brain or a body, a person,brain, body is conceptual, a belief appearance within the actual direct awakeness that is life right now unclaimed.
The body or brain has no interest in meditation. This all stems from belief that there is a ''someone'' who has a body and a brain, that can meditate on whether it exists or not. There is no such entity except in the dream of separation..an illusion.
There is no such ''someone'' except as an idea arising in silent presence.
One doesn't have to ''think'' about being presence or not presence..one simple is presence directly manifesting right here and now.
Any idea that there is somehow a person or little homunculus inside your brain controlling things sounds stupid doesn't it?...I see you deny you ever implied this, but then you are exactly implying this by saying the following...
It's all a bit messy isn't it,..assumptions are constanly inferred even though there is no such inferrence made except the belief in this conception of a human being, aka a fictional dreamt character.''Note the fact is whatever results from meditation and other spiritual practices are confined only to what is happening to mental, brain and body activities of the individual person.''
You could just be your self, aka the real fictional character, then you could stop trying to prove to yourself you exist or don't exist.
