Again WRONG.
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 10:33 amHow many more times would you like this information repeated to you...will 500 more times be enough?
But WHY just keep repeating WRONG information? Just so 'you' KNOW 'you' exist? Which was your logic and conclusion before.
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 10:33 amWithout you there is no me,
So, now there is two. But before there is no 'you', as there is only SELF.

How many times are you going to keep talking before you STOP contradicting 'your' self?
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 10:33 amand that's all that is going on here..you to me and me to you, it's how the play plays.
But as I keep telling you IT DOES NOT HAVE TO. There is a much simpler AND easier way to explain what it is that you are 'trying to' explain.

How many times does this NEED to be told to you?
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 10:33 amThe screen and the contents of screen may seem to appear to exist as two ...but is only one.
Yet 'you' just said without 'me' there is no 'you'. Just ANOTHER contradiction in the story telling of "dontaskme".

Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 10:33 amI throw the ball and you catch it. And vice versa. It's no big HUGE deal.
Yet the deal is 'you' sometimes say there is only SELF, while at other times 'you' say there is a 'you' and a 'me'. When will 'you' STOP being so completely contradictory and wrong?
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 10:33 amAnd stop saying ''you human beings'' when you know full well, that the real self is not human.

.
Yes the Real Self is NOT a human being, OBVIOUSLY. But WHY does that mean 'I' should stop talking to 'you', human beings, and saying 'you', human beings?

'your' comment just now explains a GREAT DEAL about WHY 'you' do NOT yet Truly understand this.

Notice that when you poke your tongue out at a mirror, the mirror will reflect that back to you, it's just what the mirror does.

The MIRROR is NEVER EVER WRONG - NOR CAN THE MIRROR EVER LIE.

The real true SELF IS THAT MIRROR.

And that's the truth that does not want to be heard.

Please stop telling me what I already KNOW....Please get over yourself. YOU ARE SO TEDIOUS AND BORING.

It is unavoidable when the word ''contradiction'' is used,
But the contradiction was there BEFORE the word 'contradiction' was used.
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 11:02 am for that usage in it's very usage is creating the idea of contradiction existing when it does not exist in nature AT ALL.
But as I just said, 'your' contradictions is in the words you used PRIOR to the 'idea of contradiction' arose. I was just reading 'your' words OPENLY, taking them in, until the contradiction in your words came to be SEEN. I like to make KNOWN and SHOW some of 'your' contradictions
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 11:02 amAnd yes, SELF can be understood in very simple and non-contradictory terms, in that the understanding is tacit.
But thee understanding of Self can still be stated in very simple AND non-contradictory terms, and not just tacit.
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 11:02 amAs soon as one attemps to explain the tacit in words it becomes contradictory, unavoidably so, as words are dual by their very nature.
When will you STOP believing in things that are NOT at all true?

One can VERY EASILY and VERY SIMPLY explain in words, what is also tacit, WITHOUT that explanation becoming contradictory at all. Contradictions are so AVOIDABLE is it rather humorous to SEE 'you', human beings, BELIEVING otherwise. Words are OBVIOUSLY singular by the very nature of how they are created.

'your' BELIEF otherwise is really rather very amusing. And, the reason WHY 'you' are completely BLOCKED from SEEING the Truth of things here.
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 11:02 amPlease try to understand this simple understanding.
STOP telling me that some thing is NOT possible. Especially when it is OBVIOUSLY POSSIBLE.

Using WORDS to express a TRUTH like; WORDS are dual in nature and will cause a contradiction, is beyond stupidity.

Either the WORDS 'you' are using are causing a contradiction and thus NOT a truth, or, the WORDS are expressing a truth, which is NOT a contradiction. 'you' can not have it both ways.

Age, please have some respect and see that I do not see the same reality that we are all apart of in the exact same way as you do. And I never will.



All I know is the camera..the all knowing eye never lies.


Everything is an analogy, it can only reference to something that doesn't exist including language, words, speaking and hearing.

It doesn't matter what is said or how it's said.... it's meaningless.

Spoken by no one...heard by no one....experienced by no one.

"That, which does the knowing, can not itself be known, & can not know its self."

What does this expression say?.....Nothing.

What does it mean?....Nothing.

And yet........there is apparent meaning. Go Figure..........

'your' comment just now explains a GREAT DEAL about WHY 'you' do NOT yet Truly understand this.

Notice that when you poke your tongue out at a mirror, the mirror will reflect that back to you, it's just what the mirror does.

Is saying this just an attempt at "justifying" that, which is obviously WRONG?

I'm simply not interested in whether there is a better, clearer, simpler, easier way of explaining something that I already know to be my truth regarding what is the SELF.
This is completely fair enough. Although the amount you put into 'trying to' be heard and understood here, in this forum, supposedly not being interested in a better, clearer, simpler, and easier way of explaining what it is that you want to express seems rather contradictory.

NOT being interested in any thing other than what 'you', individual adult human beings, BELIEVE is true is WHY none of you KNOW how to explain what thee True Self is yet, and WHY you will continue on your downward spiral to 'hell'.

When all of 'you', adults, start accepting and taking responsibility, then you will start changing, for the better, and then you will proceed back onto, and up, the Right path in Life.
Dontaskme wrote: Mon Nov 18, 2019 2:00 pmUnderstanding the SELF is all that matters, words can in no way touch that silent understanding of SELF without distorting it by believing it can be put into words for everyone to understand, this simply is not true.
But this can be done very simply and very easily. Words can be used in a way to touch and REVEAL thy True Self. Just because you BELIEVE otherwise, does NOT make it true. The very behavior of you BELIEVING it is not possible is the very thing STOPPING you from discovering, learning, and understanding thee Truth of things.

Also, there is NO one BELIEVING SELF can be put into words for every one to understand.
I just KNOW this is very possible.
If it can be done for one, then it can be done for ALL.
This has been done for one.
Therefore, this can be done for ALL.

If all that matters, as you say, is understanding the SELF, then why do you do not do all it takes to Truly understand thy Self. 'you', "dontaskme", obviously do NOT yet Truly understand. The contradictory nature of your words are living proof and evidence of this.
Dontaskme wrote: Mon Nov 18, 2019 2:00 pm For me, there is no way to deliver understanding of SELF as and through words, as words are only pointers, and not what the actual SELF is.
That is for 'you', the one labeled "dontaskme". But for thee True Self there is a way to deliver understanding SELF, and that is very simply through WORDS, as it is through words how 'you', human beings, learn more easier and simply just how you understand.

But it has NEVER been a matter about what I like or dislike about the way 'you' express. From just about the outset with 'you', "dontaskme", I have mostly just been saying to 'you' that there is a much easier and simpler way to explain what it is that 'you' are 'trying to' explain. I have then just awaited your curiosity. Until then your lack of curiosity provides more evidence of how the human brain, through BELIEFS, is NOT open at all to any thing else other than what it ASSUMES and BELIEVES is true.

By the way, other than wanting to learn how to communicate better with 'you', human beings, I am not trying to obtain any information from you. I, however, and using 'you' as evidence to support the information that I will provide. How the brain and the Mind actually work is what I am REVEALING to the readers. Some have caught on to, and have SEEN this, far quicker than "others" do.

By the way, what information do you have, which you believe I am trying to glean off of 'you', human beings?

Did you forget that it is 'I' who is telling you that there is a much better way to explain what it is that you are 'trying to' explain. I have the information, which you are SEEKING, LOOKING FOR, WANTING to obtain. While it is 'you' who has the ability to communicate with "others", which is what I am WANTING to learn how to obtain.
