You have no past, the past is death, the past never happened.

You have no future, the future never happens, the future is death.

Right NOW there is no you because there is no other than you for Infinity.

Infinity = 0 = 1

Sorry, right this instant there’s an I, because I am reading this.

You are the one (1) and you are not the one (0)

One and Zero can't have one without the other one, same one.

I heard a phrase the other day: "The perpetually perishing present." It struck me that somewhere therein lies the answer.

Yes is the answer. What was the real question?

Pictures of pretas are literally pictures depicting perpetual sayings of no. Pictures of yes are literal smiles of the gods, demi-gods, and humans.

You are you to me.

You never happened.

You cannot mean what you said, because there’s no you.

As a matter of fact, this thread cannot exist, because it was written by no one.

The mind is one and principle is one. Perfect truth is reduced to a unity; the essential principle is never a duality. The mind and principle can never be separated into two.

All the Buddhas and all sentient beings are nothing but the Universal Mind, beside which nothing exists. This Mind, which is without beginning, is unborn and indestructible.

As Descartes famously said,"I think therefore i am."

So too said a dyslexic tinker.

I'm sure you are right, however I don't believe a word of it.

(Awareness) which is fundamentally unknowable...except what appears as this unknowable unknown known..aka Infinities dream.

Nothing ever happens / happened in a dream...to be aware of the dream is all that's apparently happening, a trip into what's not happening.

Another answer to the only ONE question to all our answers...is found here >



(Who?)
Find the ''I'' that is always and effortlessly aware, forever unchanging, and you will realise the true Self that is, I Am.
I Am is the infinite and unbound awareness the entire universe arises within - and you are That.

You are that which never moves, never happens, is never born, never dies, has no begining, has no end, has no edge, has no location, is uncaused, without parts, without change.

How AM I? (unknowable)

How Am I not? (unknowable)

I AM without doubt or error. No further inquiry necessary. The ONE QUESTION to all our answers. (Who?)

What Descartes didn't say was >

(It is this ''presence-of-being" that affords you the self-awareness to realise, without even needing to think a thought, that... I Exist. )

The I that thinks (''i am'' ) is a dream character - that character doesn't exist, except as ideation and mentation ( autonomous ''thought'' an aggregate of mental phenomena that is sensed as a sensation spontaneously arising (here now) NOWHERE...intangible / non-locatable...appearing as just another sensory perception. That which is apparently perceiving cannot be perceived.



Perception is a phenomenal appearance within your presence of awareness, which is the noumenon of your entire sense-of-being.

Awareness is your Is-ness.
This noumenal essence consciousness is your true Self (as opposed to the imagined-false-self that the egoic-personality asserts itself as, which is nothing more than thought-forms the mind has mistakenly self-identified itself with).


Awareness does not differ from one person to the next. Awareness is awareness - it does not change from one biological specimen to the next. It is this formless, empty, nothingness that animates all forms, making them appear to be ''some form'' ..form being impermanent and transient, while their fundamental formless essence remains unchanging infinite and eternal.
