I really have no idea what you mean here, what do you mean by knowledge? Can you give me an example of the kind of knowledge you are talking about that you had and then thought not real.
and that the only real true thing here is the awareness of knowledge which is just PASSING THOUGHTS...unique to the human condition only.
Sorry, I'm not meaning to be dense but can you describe what you mean here when you say the word "thought".
By watching thoughts come and go and realising I am not my thoughts, so what I think about the world is not the reality of the world. ...
Well I do keep telling you, you are a body with senses in an external world, thoughts are memory combinations of the representations that the body gives you of this world. Although I think you wrong as what you think(although I'm still not sure what you mean by "think" here, do you differentiate between a 'thoughts' and 'thinking'?) about the world is the reality of that world to this body and it most certainly is real about that world otherwise you and the squirrel wouldn't run up the same tree when the wolves are around.
Thoughts are not reality, the belief in the thoughts is what make us believe reality to be a certain way when it isn't since thoughts are not real. ...
I'd have thought a belief was a thought?
Sorry, what do you mean by 'thoughts are not real'? As they are the representations from the senses of the real world.
The research was to search for the one who believes it exists as a separate person living inside my head, I searched and couldn't find that person, and realised the person was just a thought that comes and goes, while I always stay..that ''I stay'' was the realisation that I was the pure unchanging, non-moving awareness, aware of the thoughts that come and go, and that only the awareness of thought was real, not the thought. ...
How did you achieve such a state, what techniques did you use?
From my point of view it was a mistaken search as you are a body not a thought and that is why there is always this 'staying', at least until the body dies that is.
The source of all this research was this immediate silent presence in which everything arises and falls.
You sound like you are talking about experience without the internal voice?
