It means NOTHING My mind is infinitely more complicated than just "being" - which is fine because I know damn well that "I" am not my mind - the mind on the other hand is an extraordinary machine which I have at my disposal To use an analogy I am communicating with you using a computer - I know I am not the computer - my mind can be thought of in the same way - it is a computer I use to interface with the world - I am not the interface - the interface includes all thoughts - all feelings and sensations are also the machine - "I" (if there even is a me) am something else Have you actually ever stopped to consider who it was that decided on a "you"? Was it really every "you"? You were born a being without boundaries, with infinite possibilities for being Then you were trained to believe being a person If you have successfully transcended all attachments to the machine/mind then I would like to know your method Nisargadatta only got so far with this - evolution dictates the next generation will take it a step further Are you one of those? > * Here is another way, think "who am I ? " * > "I am" but "Who am I" ? > I find who am I not easier I am not my thoughts, feelings, or sensations I am also not your thoughts, feelings or sensations about me I am also not any thoughts, feelings or sensations that arise when thinking happens about you I do not think thinking happens feelings happen sensations happen there is no controller, just an illusion of control then there is a closeness to what is if you followed me this far we are close same same different > > > > > >> >> Sent from an iPhone >> >> On 14 Aug 2010, at 07:11, [email protected] wrote: >> >> > The watching of the I am sense is not my thing.
