You do, or so you think.

Then they are actually not "Determinists" by definition, even if they (wrongly) imagine they are. To be a Determinist means to believe absolutely that all events are "predetermined" or "fated" by prior events. Life is the ultimate puppet master pulling the strings of i...

The human mind/brain is deterministic, if you accept that every event has a reason or cause. In reality the mind is a myth, thoughts can never claim ownership of ever being causes. No brain ever chooses a thought. There is no evidence that the universe is non-deterministic, nor is there evidence tha...

"The process of existence occurs within the isness of NOW." Nuh-uh it occurs within the nowness of IS, Nick. This is correct prom. Nick has it wrong way round. NOW implies time. Where as Isness is this unknowable timeless immediate flux of infinite possibility. This is best realised by th...

All that we see and seem is but a dream within a dream within a dream. We sleep in the self and cannot awake. Upon the artificial awakening…the sense of self totally collapses into the nothingness of its origin. Everything spoken is nothing more than a barking dog, just completely unnecessary and an...

The brain manufacturers the existential illusory sense of self. A self that is a mechanistically functioning “phenomenal self-model “ that simulates a person. Free will is an illusion. The content of the bible is a story comparable to a dream. There’s just nothing being everything being nothing. You...

If observation is dependent upon only itself, as it must be if one considers there is nothing separate from observation, it is dependent upon nothing as only observation existing leaves no room for comparison thus resulting in formless no-thingness. Emptiness appearing full of emptiness. Yes, the o...

Are there nurses around to give you a bib? The nondual truth is hard to hear. It's not for all ears. But it matters not, because there is ONLY what is happening, and no force on earth could ever undo what is happening, because no thing is happening. This is much too simple and ordinary. . just try ...

The opening post may well be true and correct to NO thing, but to some human beings the opening post is illogical, absurd, and just plain old false and incorrect. The understanding of the concepts in brackets are known [humans] [illogical] [absurd] [plain old false and incorrect] is understood by n...

If the headline here were true, then this would MEAN that there is NO 'self-aware' being/thing, NO 'self-awareness', and NO one who is 'self-aware'. The headline is correct and true. BUT 'I' can SEE, and UNDERSTAND, thy Self. Therefore, 'I' ALSO KNOW thy Self. SO, WHY do 'you' even bother 'trying t...

The process of existence occurs within the isness of NOW. For some reason you deny the process of existence. Most prefer to imagine it leading to all sorts of conflicts including wars. Yet there are these rare ones like Simone who needed to experience with the whole of themselves that things and be...

The human mind is that which observes the patterns of the human mind, the patterns of the human mind are the observation of patterns. The human mind exists where it observes the observation of patterns. Yes this is true. The patterns observed create the observer in the exact same instance of recogn...

The meaning of proof is meaningless. To prove implies there is something to prove. To prove something would mean to physically see it. But, the seer can never be seen, it is only known as a concept, and a concept knows nothing. Have you ever studied anything? The only thing you seem to get right is...

The headline is correct and true.

Any thing known or seen can only exist as a concept.

The knower and seer of concepts is no thing.

There’s just nothing being everything being nothing. Everything is an appearance of empty fullness. There’s nothing to understand because there is nothing understanding. There is nothing to know because there is nothing knowing. Your words are nothing but poetic license. I am able to see myself and...
