''awake awareness'' is ''what is''.

This is ''source''. This is the ''ground of being''. All is ''god''.This is ''absolute reality''.

This is it.

No. You misunderstand me. I have a useful conception (model!) for some parts of my mind (a computer). I have no idea how it works. Mechanically/physically.

Heh. I don't even know what an "human" is. I mean - I know it's a label we've slapped on each other, but I don't understand the essence of humanity.

I reserve judgment about the mind. I have no idea how it works...

The Nature of Thought

The following article is an excerpt from J. Krishnamurti’s book ‘The Nature of Thought’ (Brockwood Park, UK 1979).

I is conditioned by fear, by pleasure, jealousy, ambition, greed, by anxieties by our loneliness by our desperate uncertainty. If one sees the consequences of all these conditionings, then it stops naturally. That is intelligence. This freedom is the only light to yourself. To have insight to all this is the leap into freedom, by anyone who is attentive and trying to understand this confusion of life.

Can one exist in life without the image of "me"? Once we gain attachment through the image of me, the whole problem begins. The Greeks and the ancient Hindus talk about it and that is "to know one's self". One has to discard all authorities to find one's self. Authorities can thought investigate me? Knowledge is incomplete. Thought cannot study myself, because it has created me. One cannot be in oneself to do the analysis. The only way to do it is through observation. Observation observing and not observation of observing one's self. Is there an observation without me?

We have divided the world and me as separate, but there is no difference. The ‘me’ with all the anger, violence, superstition has created that world. The world is me and I am the world. Organized by the underlying psychological aspect of the people. When I examine myself, I am examining the whole of mankind. The responsibility is much greater. You are one and the same.

Is there a possibility of looking at myself in the mirror without the interference of thought. Thought interference creates distortion in the mirror. Thought is limited, it is mechanical. The me is living.

What is the mirror of which I can see myself without illusion, distortion and inference of thought? Is there an observation of myself without thought distortion? The mirror is relationship. Ideals are thoughts and they close off reality. To observe in the mirror of relationship of what exactly is happening. Just observe without thought. The Greek word "Idea" means to observe is the real meaning. Not observe and form an idea after, which is what is happening to us in the world now. Real Intelligence: That I realize that the world is me and I am the world.

That I can only observe myself through relationship. Mirror of relationship. To observe and see in the mirror to see what is exactly happening without interference. To observe that which is pleasant and not pleasant without thought. If there is an observer there is still thought and the past comes back in. If you observe nature without thought of self, why can't you do the same with yourself? You may be afraid that you will lose something, if you observe yourself in this way. Your status, your nationality, your friends. How to observe the mirror? The observer is the observed. Can you look without the observer? This is real. This takes the activity of the entire human mind to do without "I like" or "I don't like", but the totality of the human being. Here is the point. I do not own the image of who I am which I send off to everyone. That is why religion and political powers are destructive, because they separate. We are not separate. We cannot have unity of mankind through religions or United Nations or totalitarianism spreading through the world. We can only have a good society when nationalism is dissolved. The revolution is not physical it is psychological. Don't change the others to suite yourself as governments do. Intelligence is very simple, it is looking at reality without the observer.

Proper meditation is the ending of me through silence..

When you use such a specific quote as the first sentence of your paragraph, do you not care to honestly set it apart and attribute it to the author, Sir David Hawkins?

Yes, and you are the evidence of ''something'' the proof is in the direct experience of being, and there is nothing to disprove it.
How is "something exists" proof of "God"?

Speculative. There is a non-zero probability that I am telling the truth.

So you need evidence to confirm OR deny my claim.

But.... don’t test me!
