I don't really understand your questions. I'm not endorsing naive realism, what we see directly is both a part of direct reality and also a representation of "outside objects" (other parts of direct reality). At the same time. And as a representation it can go very wrong.PeteJ wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2019 11:13 amWe're talking here about going beyond sensations and feelings so what you say about meditation and Reality seems odd.

In deep meditation we simply feel our own human self-awareness generated by the billions of brain cells etc. but that sensation is localized to the human head. Our true self doesn't feel like anything at all.
I find it annoying how most nondualists don't see through this second major illusion, and don't go through the second stage of the awakening process. At the end of which, it becomes perfectly clear that this reality we are experiencing directly right now is the only real one.
I wonder if you're confusing the currently fashionable mindfulness meditation with Yoga.
What you say, in effect, is that you are a buddha. This is perfectly possible but is it what you meant to say?
I'm not sure what going beyond sensations and feelings means, just saying that we shouldn't misunderstand them.
I'm not sure what a buddha is. If a buddha is simply awake, then many people are buddhas including me. If it means reaching a complete blowing out, well no such thing exists. There are also 1-2 other meanings I can think of.
