Dear Jed,

in your opening Thread you wrote "Thoughts don't exist within your brain, your brain receives thoughts. You are always walking through the field of consciousness and your brain is similar to a radio receiver."

In my direct experience this is not true. There is no brain, who could receive thougths. Brain is just another thought story. I have no head in direct experience. I also have no eyes, which see an no ears which hear. I am not in a body.

Thoughts are simply abstractions which arise in consciousness.

Thoughts are real (although they have no indipendent existence apart from consciousness) but their content is most of the "time" complete bullshit.

Thoughts arise as consciousness in consciousness. A brain is not involved here in my experience.

English is not my native language. I hope my words make at least some sense.

Warm Regards

Jed McKenna

Making sense mean you/we are on the wrong path. Truth does not make sense... until....

Thank you for your answer, Jed.

It is true that truth has nothing to do with meaning.

However your statement is for me just a pun and does not answer my question.

It is obvious to me that there is only awareness and that I am definitely not trapped in a body.

That's why it's obvious to me that your idea that a brain is receiving thought is a thought story that has nothing to do with reality.

A brain that receives thoughts is just as credible to me as a god who lives in heaven with a white coat and a long beard.

I only know a brain from pictures in books. I for myself have no brain. Thoughts have nothing to do with a brain.

Meaning has nothing to do with Truth because it is a product of mind.

I understand, but your  are limiting things. What does awareness occur in?

Anything to do with the brain has nothing to do with Reality/Truth. How could it?

Truth is WAY beyond thoughts... of any kind.

Love ya, Jed.

Consciousness doesn´t occur in anything. It is. The seeming things like cars, houses, people, animals, sounds "my body" and so on appear in consciousness. But they are not different to consciousness. Experiencer and experience are one. Every content of consciousness dissolves, but consciousness itself, what I really am, can never dissolve. Something like a "brain" is part of the content of consciousness and therefore has nothing to do with reality. Yes.

I was never born. There is no past. What is called past are only pictures, arising in and as consciousness now.

Is this your experience... I mean really? Or just an intellectual dissertation on what you ''think'' is true?

Yes.

How can you experience if there's no "you"?

Look into the difference between something perceived and just perceiving itself. You don't experience anything, however, experiencing happens.

Very simple really but takes a little work to grok it.

Love ya, Jed.
