An attempt to debunk decades of unhappiness:
- I am aware of body-mind-world.
- I cannot be what I am aware of.
- I know that I am, but I don’t know what I am.
- Unhappiness and lack are concepts.
- “The only truth in the manifestation
is the impersonal sense I AM,
all the rest are concepts.” - Concepts are mental images, not the thing itself.
- What am I right now, prior to mind?
- What is the direct experience, before a me-story?
- Working mind: Practical concepts and conditioning for daily living.
- Thinking mind: Psychological identity and investment, the root of suffering.
- As a personal/separate “me” I erroneously believe that happiness/fulfillment is dependent on person, place, thing, relationship.
- Pleasure and pain are circumstantial, suffering is attitudinal.
- Am I alone amongst 8 Billion “others”, or am I lost in my own mind…
- What am I absolutely certain about?
- I am, there is something rather than nothing.
- Do I live in ideas (personhood) or in reality (Presence)?
- I don’t need to define myself in order to be.
- Psychological fear and doubt is mind-stuff, is a misunderstanding.
- Three legitimate uses of the mind:
- to celebrate life,
- to be practical,
- to share.
