There are times when it is absolutely seen that none of what is perceived is who I am. And then there are moments when it is not seen. It seems that when a passing toughts/emotions are given value (either positive or negative), the identification seems real. Also, there is no purpose. And even saying there is something or there isn’t something is meaningless. Language is so dual – one word necessarily implies its opposite. But in reality there is no deffirintation whatsoever – it is ALL perception.

So there is desire to write to explain what is happening, Who has this desire? No separate entity is found – just desire. What is desire? A feeling plus thought “I want to write this” and then “because” arises to explain the desire. So desire is a feeling and a thought (not sure which one arises first). What is feeling/thought? Feeling is a bunch of sensations arising in the space that is labelled  “the body”. Thoughts are words that seem to arise where the head is. What are words? Words seem to be these subtle sounds around the head area that are given a certain meaning. Where does the meaning comes from? Memories. What are memories? Pictures, sensations and more thoughts. So the desire comes from a memory ie something that has been taught at some point in the past. What is there before something is taught? There is truly NO-THING. It is like there is nothing and then mind comes in and there is a perception of something and then an explanation given as to where this something came from. But if this is drilled down, it is seen absolutely incontrovertibly that this something comes out of nothing and disappears into nothing. NO-THING is the background of ALL the experiences/perceptions. And yet, it cannot be experienced or really talked about but only pointed to (OMG I actually see exactly what this spiritual “cliché” means now!). Mind/dream/perception/phenomenal world is a blip. It has no continuity or coherence that is attributed to it. There is an experience of joy and relief when this is seen. Who is joyful and relieved? Nobody. There is no joy, pain, relief, love, hate etc. Just NO-THING. Immutable, silent and empty. Further…
