A question is 1 form of initiation of discourse, conversation, communication. Each person is free to follow that impetus, e.g. question form, statement, command, or to choose their own impetus vq form.

A question does not have to be answered with an answer. An order may also follow. Each one decides on in what way an interaction, a discourse is used.

There then lies the inner gold called self-knowledge from self-reflection.

We think, our conditioned mind, that we are the center of the universe. Unfortunately peanut butter. Did medieval astronomers find out, too.

At its core, nothing is about ourselves because there is no self.

 

But we are a person, an I, aren’t we?

No we are nothing but a conditioned reaction that has become conscious of itself.

 

But then who am I?

A construct in the mind. In the great universe there is at most awareness, perception an sich. Without meaning to. Without I-construct.

Everything has taken on a subjective meaning. Through experience, through conditioning from upbringing and culture. The intersection of all these subjective meanings Is I.

 

The universe still gives meaning or definitions. Those meanings are all subjective, from an experienced perspective. From an all-splitting duality, to use that word.

 

And what it’s like when you don’t give meaning to the perception or the observed. That’s a lifetime of meditation 🙏🏻

 

Trust is concept

Universe is concept.

Flow is concept

Control is concept

Being is concept

 

Everything can be let go.

 

There is ultimately only perception. As a passive verb. Perceiving. In this moment …

 

NOW

 

Our mind is built to give meaning for security reasons to protect the living being that we are, the collective of 2 trillion cells. For survival.

When we are free from fear, feeling safe, then there can be pure perception without meaning. That is Practice, meditation, life.

 

For example, the concept of FLOW can quickly become a religion, a mantra, a dissociation from the NOW

 

Something CAN only have meaning in a larger story. Without a story, no relevant meaning. No relevance.

Sometimes story is (partially) hidden in conditioning. Monkeymind.

 

Other in this is irrelevant. Live flows out, unconditionally. Reaction of other is irrelevant. There is no other.
