Do 'you' KNOW the future?
But 'you' are NOT LOOKING from NOR through the ALL-KNOWING EYE.
'you' are only LOOKING FROM and through the human eyes, and the other four senses of the human body. This is WHY 'you' have a VERY narrowed view and perspective of things. From 'your' perspective 'you' can NOT SEE the big and FULL picture. Thee ALL-KNOWING Eye reveals this, very easily.
Obviously and completely NOT true.
This is to 'you', and NOT to 'me'.
Finding meaning in EVERY thing is very SIMPLE, that is; once 'you' learn and KNOW-HOW to do it and SEE it.
The reason there is meaning in EVERY thing is because of what Everything actually IS.
A weird thing for 'one' to express.
For 'one' to write the words; "spoken by NO one... heard by NO one...experienced by NO one" is a complete contradiction in and of itself.
But 'I' am that One and 'I' ALREADY KNOW, ALL OF THIS.
'I' KNOW exactly who AND what 'I' am. And, 'I' am NOTHING like that one, known as "dontaskme", imagines 'I' am.
That would all depend on what the expression is in relation to EXACTLY?
NO thing, obviously.
There IS meaning. This is because there is SOME thing.

I do NOT care what you have said previously. This is because when I ask you to clarify or explain 'you' say that 'you' can NOT clarify NOR explain. Therefore, it does NOT matter what you have said before.
If that 'self' can not explain its self, then that infers that it does NOT really understand what is said.
Did 'you' forget that what is said IS 'you'? And, if 'you' do NOT yet KNOW 'you', then you certainly do NOT know thy True Self.
'you' would first HAVE TO explain what is meant when it is stated 'your' AND 'consciousness'. What is the 'thing' which supposedly has 'consciousness'? What is 'consciousness'? Where is this 'thing' (the 'your') which has 'consciousness'? If this "dontaskme" character can NOT explain this in very simple and easy terms, then that is just MORE evidence that this "dontaskme" character REALLY has NO idea about what is said.
Also, please understand that I KNOW exactly who, what, why, and where this "dontaskme" character IS. I also KNOW how this "dontaskme" character came to be. Now, unlike this "donataskme" character I CAN completely back up and substantiate what I claim.
Would you like to 'try' and explain what 'your consciousness' ACTUALLY MEANS?
How many 'consciousness' is this "dontaskme" character suggests exist?
LOOK please understand that I ALREADY KNOW what 'you' are 'trying to' say. 'you' are just repeating very old views on this.
Once again, another human being using the 'mind' word, in connection with the 'your' word. Now, words are being used, but can the understanding of these words be SHOWN. If so, then do it. Otherwise I will take it that 'you' have NO idea what a 'mind' actually IS and how a 'mind' exists in relation to a 'your'.
And how many times does it take for this "dontaskme" character to catch on that 'I' do NOT believe any thing?
Please listen to ME. I do NOT believe any thing, so I will NOT just start to believe any thing, including 'you', just because you ask or want 'me' to.
Once again, WHY does this "dontaskme" make what is essential VERY SIMPLE and VERY EASY to understand seem so complex and hard to understand?
Also, WHY is it so important for what is said, under the disguise of this "dontaskme" character, to be accepted and agreed with? It is like this "dontaskme" character is NOTHING AT ALL if it is NOT heard, NOT listened to, and NOT accepted and NOT agreed with 100%.
When 'I' tell 'you' some thing, do 'you' listen to it?
If no, then WHY do 'you' expect "others" to listen to 'you'?
'you' have SHOWN that 'you' are completely incapable of listening. But 'you' BELIEVE so strongly that what is said is 100% true and correct, therefore what is said under the disguise of "dontaskme" SHOULD be HEARD and ACCEPTED.
The contradictory nature of 'you', human beings, never ceases to amaze.
Please understand that ALL OF THIS is OLD KNOWLEDGE, and thus ALREADY KNOWN.

There is no self talking to itself, there is just nothing talking here...and this nothing happens to enjoy talking about this nothing, seriously it's no big HUGE DEAL.Some might say 'you' should be more sorry for 'you' because it is 'you' who enjoys talking TO and ABOUT a thing that 'you' now say does NOT exist.

The truth self doesn't ask questions, questions can only pertain to a false self.
That's why you bore me with your constant need to ask questions and have them clarified.
I've told you I'm not interested in more more more unlike YOU
Re: The problem with religious critique, logic, reasons, truth-seeking, argumentation, and debate.
SHOW where I have, supposedly, written any thing contradictory.
Remember it is 'your' contradictions that 'we' are LOOKING AT and 'trying to' work out.
IF 'you' provide any that 'I' have made, then 'we' CAN LOOK AT them, as well as work those ones out.
The speed at which 'you' contradict is Truly amazing.
Two sentences are written;
One states "stop contradicting yourself".
The very next sentence states that it would be no effort to just stop thinking there really is a self that can contradict itself. Implying that there is NO self, which could even contradict its self.
So, from one sentence to the next sentence it is worded "stop contradicting yourself" but "there is NO self to contradict itself".
If there is NO self, then WHY do 'you' ENJOY talking TO and ABOUT a self? And, 'one' which 'you' actually call "thee nondual self"?
And, if there is NO self, then who or what is thee 'you' if it is NOT a self, itself?
Re: The problem with religious critique, logic, reasons, truth-seeking, argumentation, and debate.
Not until you SHOW where I have, supposedly, written any thing contradictory.
And don't forget yours.
When you provide any that 'I' have made, then maybe we can I suppose.
It's not as fast as the speed of light though is it?

Is there a "nondual self" or not?
If no, then WHY say 'you' enjoying talking to and about it?
If yes, then WHY now say there is no such thing as a nondual self?
I said "From what I have observed ..."
I was only going on what you told me earlier. You even said that you enjoyed talking to this thing. I was NOT aware that you were going to turn things around so much and completely contradict this by then stating that such a thing does NOT really exist.
And my response to this is that 'you' have succeeded in twisting things around so much that it is becoming almost to hard to keep up with the spinning.
So, instead of just admitting and acknowledging that 'you' would NOT like what "thee nondual self" would inform 'you', instead 'you' just make up some new fantasy story about how "thee nondual self" does not really even exist, now.

But now you want me to accept that this "self", which you talk TO and ABOUT, and even ENJOY doing, otherwise you would not be doing it, does not actually exist at all anyway, correct?
Now you want me to accept that there is just 'nothing' talking and that 'nothing' actually has pleasure centers were it has enjoyment from talking about nothing, correct?
If this is correct, and I did accept this, and then began to discuss this and ask questions in relation to this, which you also do not like to admit and acknowledge, will you then turn things around again and just contradict what you have said here as well?
