Do you think you know that the Moon exists?

Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

That's what I said, I said, no thing names itself...any apparent naming, is no thing naming itself.
But WHY would 'no thing' even want to put a name to it's self, let alone try to? (I will ignore asking the obvious question; HOW could nothing put a name to itself?)

Is the concept of 'peace' and 'love' empty to it's core also?

How many words are you going to say there is nothing outside of?

So far there is;
'you'
'consciousness'
'knower'
'perceiver'
'knowing',
and others.

If you going to eventually say that there is nothing outside of absolutely any and every word, and that each word is one with another, then just state this now please.

Here once again things are written as though they outside or separate from other things. How can there be an optical illusion of light and sound if they are not outside of Consciousness?

Either every thing is one with Consciousness and so if there is an alleged "optical illusion", then it is a part of Consciousness, or there are things outside of Consciousness, which portray a sense of an "optical illusion". Now which one is it?

And, WHEN are ALL of the questions posed going to be answered?

I KNOW what is said under the banner "dontaskme".

Consciousness KNOWS the same thing has been, unsuccessfully, expressed quite a number of times.

Consciousness also states; WHY use words in such a confusing and complex way? Especially when there is absolutely NO reason to do so.

The Truth IS what the label "dontaskme" says can NOT be explained, can BE explained.
Dontaskme wrote: Sat Feb 23, 2019 4:07 pmNo thing has ever seen a conceptual named thing, conceptual known things are images of the imageless...they are illusory appearances of consciousness.

Consciousness KNOWS differently.

Consciousness is lol NOW.

The trouble with 'you', human beings, is that if you, personally, do NOT know some thing yet, then you BELIEVE that no one and nothing else could KNOW it yet also.

The Truth, however, is much different.

Consciousness already KNOWS what "dontaskme" says is the "unknown" knowing.

Obviously if the labeled one "dontaskme" was ONE with Consciousness, then what Consciousness KNOWS would be KNOWN.

"dontaskme" is just not ready to understand this yet. The reason WHY "dontaskme" is NOT yet ready to understand, is already KNOWN by Consciousness.

Age wrote: Sat Feb 23, 2019 3:27 pmSo, WHEN is the one labelled "dontaskme" going to write solely from the perspective of nondual realisation, and STOP writing things like; both ...? If there is ONLY One, then there is NOT both.
One is meaningless without something to relate it to, the relation is purely illusory.
But One is NOT meaningless. To write One is meaningless without something to relate it to is to BELIEVE in some thing that is absolutely FALSE and just another obvious illusion.

If the relation is purely illusory but to state that it is meaningless without the relation, is an illusion itself, obviously.
Dontaskme wrote: Sat Feb 23, 2019 4:14 pmBoth the mirror and it's reflection are inseparable one, appearing as two... mirror/reflection... two but not two.
Is the one that writes under the banner "dontaskme" at all aware that Consciousness already KNOWS the absolute Truth and KNOWS the confusion the words written under the banner "dontaskme" have caused and are causing?
Dontaskme wrote: Sat Feb 23, 2019 4:14 pmThe mirror is consciousness, the reflection is the contents/appearances of consciousness.

It's really that simple.

.
It is FAR SIMPLER than that.

A 'mirror' IS a mirror.

'Consciousness' IS Consciousness.

And WHY the labelled "dontaskme" IS still confused, is also KNOWN.

But keep talking and expressing what is BELIEVED to be true, if you BELIEVE that it is helping in some way.

OK Ken, take it easy...relax, you don't have to justify or prove to me, or anyone else what you already KNOW to be your truth.

It is what it is, so be it. . all knowledge truths/ claims...are self experiential via direct experience. I have no argument with your experience.

Gooday to you.

By the way you said that you got rid of the ego, did you go insane also? And, can you explain HOW you got rid of the ego?

If you have done it, as you alleged that you have, then maybe they might be interested into learning how it is possible, especially considering they are asking why it can not be done.

Never.

There is no such thing as nonduality, but then again nonduality is not a thing.

There is no thing to realise, except maybe an idea, or a belief, what is an idea/belief?

I've no idea.

The universe has no voice, you don't get "Truth" by being completely open, by not thinking, just listening. Even though we are technically the universe, nothing actually happens when we do that.

People who believe this have gone insane. Usually a second ego is created in their head, which they mistake for the universe's voice or whatever.

If any of this recollection is wrong then please correct me
What I expressed was more an opinion than fact and so I do not want to regard it as true
It could be that I am actually right but I do not have the knowledge to be certain of this
For the moment I simply treat it as the most plausible definition of what mind is for me

As others such as yourself for example think differently to me on this then I have to acknowledge what ever you say
I would actually prefer not to have a fixed point of view on the mind but instead to simply accept all points of view

Dont ask me and yourself speak with great authority on the mind and should be listened to even if I do not agree with you both
I do not necessarily agree with her to be more accurate but she has clearly given much time and energy to the subject of mind

The Truth is just THAT what EVERYONE accepts and agrees with.

There is no magical nor mystical knowledge involved with the Truth. The Truth is just THAT KNOWLEDGE, which is in agreement with and by absolutely EVERY one.

1. I don't think there has ever been, or could ever be any "Truth" which is agreed upon by everyone.
2. Even if there was a "Truth" agreed by everyone, it still could be wrong, because maybe everyone is wrong about it.
3. What does this have to do with being completely open?

Do you think we can channel the universe, that we have access to some infallible magical universal knowledge?

That is fine. You like most people think the same. You are free to think whatever you want to think.

Yes very True. So that would be a Truth, agreed? If you agree, then some might call that an even more Truth.

In fact could anyone disagree with that Truth?

If no one could disagree, then ALL would be in agreement.
Atla wrote: Sun Feb 24, 2019 5:57 am3. What does this have to do with being completely open?
If you are completely open, then you are able to find out things that you did not think or know before.

But it is not just about being completely open, there are other things also. There is just way to much to delve into in a forum like this one.

Before I could answer this seemingly rather assumptive question I would need to know what do you exactly mean by 'channel the Universe', 'have access to', and 'infallible magical Universal knowledge'?

Yes, someone could disagree with it. There is no certain Truth, nor it it certain that there is no certain Truth.

You still play this sick game of being certain of not being certain, so you believe we can get access to some magical universal knowledge.

Back to the mental ward with you.
