This is beyond strange. I sat in the woods for an hour in the sun just
now in guided meditation - the sun was beating on my face - suddenly
it went cold - it reminded ego of rain and the commentator rattled
away in my mind saying how it would create a thunderstorm and musing
over its God like power - as the sun came back there was a realisation
that ego has no control - then I switch my phone back on and read this
- which one of us is psychic?

It does take stand. All that I am saying is that nobody can predict/
decide what the ego will be/is standing for.
The field of 'interest' of the ego changes like the weather.

Of course the same unpredictability is valid for the negation 'I am
not the decider'.
Therefore I think the 'enlightened' attitude towards all that
arises, stays (as a conviction or belief) and disappears and/or gets
substituted by other stuff which would also 'stay' fixed for an
unpredictable amount of time, is the absence of preference towards
what is there at the moment.
Of course a certain attitude also arises, stays and disappears
(spontaneously) so at the end all that I can say is bla bla bla...
As always.
Ps. The conclusion of almost any discussion about enlightenment and
other related stuff finishes with a big boooooo or blaaaaa.
Ps2 seems like I am quoting Kuber

Subject: I am the decider
I have no way of controlling the flow of thoughts. I have no way of
controlling how will my body react to a certain thought aka which
thought will cause a certain (re)action of the body.
I can just 'watch' what's happening.
Do you think the feeling 'I am the decider' to be just one of the
things (a belief maybe) that sometimes arises and 'stays' for a
certain unpredictable amount of time, just like any other shit?
