The deeper questions of life, why we are here, who are we, what is the meaning or purpose of life can never be answered by the limited thinking mind, this isn't another philosophy but a fact when you understand what the thinking mind consists of and its limits.

Is there something beyond thought ?

Yes there is, it is directly observing, or not thinking awareness, choiceless awareness or living wholly in reality. When we don't think we exist 100% in reality , when we think we see reality through a filter of thought, which isn't reality at all , reality has no limitations, but thought is limited.

Sorry, philosophy is worthless, I can never find the deeper answers to life, it can only answer the questions it itself generates.

When this is understood then though has its right place as a functional tool in everyday life, but what about the rest of the time? Well , the time you are aware but not thinking is existing with no filter of thought, which means existing in reality itself . There are no questions in reality itself , all things are just as they are.

This is a very good post actually. Well written. Thanks for sharing it.

I’d just like to add some ideas from the transcendental nondual community….that I personally found very interesting in an integrated sort of understanding oasis to the dual nature of consciousness appearing to itself as thoughts.

“Solipsism views conscious experience as the only reality, which is true from one perspective. However, existence is both individual and collective. Each person's consciousness is part of the whole and contains the whole. This dual nature means that solipsism is only one side of the truth. True understanding requires recognizing both the individual and collective perspectives, acknowledging interconnectedness and the completeness of existence. The idea of Indra’s net, where each jewel reflects all other jewels, symbolizes this interconnectedness. Solipsism leaves out the other side, but recognizing both perspectives provides a more complete picture of existence.”
