Can you help me?

Post by danenacar »

Can I have an insight about "existence"? Like, when something exists, does it exists because it is natural to exist? Example, when homosexuality existed, was it because homosexuality is a "natural" thing to exist? Are all things 'existing' considered "natural"?

You exist only in relationship.

Relationship is subject/object duality.

One half of the relationship is awareness, which is the real you.

The other half of the relationship is what awareness perceives.

What awareness perceives is sensory data and thought.

Therefore: non-dual awareness, which is awareness without relationship, results in existence of awareness, but non-existence of you.

From this it follows: You think, therefore you exist.
