The elusive I
Here’s something you can try at home. Or on the bus, for that matter. You can do it with your eyes closed or open, in a quiet room or a noisy street. All you have to do is this: Identify yourself.
I don’t mean stand up and say your name. I mean catch hold of that which is you, rather than just the things that you do or experience. To do this, focus your attention on yourself. Try to locate in your own consciousness the ‘I’ that is you, the person who is feeling hot or cold, thinking your thoughts, hearing the sounds around you and so on. I’m not asking you to locate your feelings, sensations and thoughts, but the person, the self, who is having them.
It should be easy. After all, what is more certain in this world than that you exist? Even if everything around you is a dream or an illusion, you must exist to have the dream, to do the hallucinating. So if you turn your mind inwards and try to become aware only of yourself, it should take long to find it. Go on. Have a go,
Any luck?

Understand the feeling totally bro. It's like you fap at prawn then slowly you focus not on the prawn but the feeling of your cockadoodle. Then you realise there nothing in the world but what's coming... Until your parents walk in on you fapping to yourself.

Kesian TS

I won't say i did not succeed, but i won't say i did succeed either. I managed to identify some characteristics, but i am not sure if I was thinking(conscious mind) that that is what i think of myself, or if that is want my consciousness(sub-conscious mind) perceives me to be. Challenge is to know if your brain(conscious mind) is thinking or if your mind(sub-conscious mind) is perceiving. Does the brain(conscious mind) form the I or does the mind(subconscious) form the I? or is it both? I can answer this question if it is the brain(conscious mind).

wait!!! now i get it!!

fuuuaaahhh!! now i can see what Neo can see...the matrix...

Powerful you become young padawan

Men have 3 stages of minds, ' called the holy trinity'

the subconscious = organs and uncontrolled i.e breathing

the conscious = 'me' or 'ego' i.e feelings, lust.

the superconscious = 'I'


I understand you. please give me high 'five'.

focusing to his face is more terrible

Mcm sigmund freund la plak

discovering your 'I'. you shall need to abandon your 'me'

'me'....the one that governs all the feelings.

the happiness, the sadness, all the feelings will be gone. Do you really want that to happen?

ayam want to know too^^

I know what u trying to say, i have been doing this since i was young
Whenever i did it, i would feel that wtf am i doing in this body? I will see myself moving my hand and perceiving the surrounding then when i suddenly go back to my concious self i would feel like wtf just happened, feel very weird

O Brahmana, it is just like a mountain river, flowing far and swift, taking
everything with it; there is no moment, no instant, no second when it stops flowing,
but it goes on flowing and continuing. So Brahmana, is human life, like a mountain
river.' As the Buddha told Ratthapala: 'The world is in continuous flux and is
impermanent.' One thing disappears, conditioning the appearance of the next in a
series of cause and effect. There is no unchanging substance in them. There is
nothing behind them that can be called a permanent Self (Atman), individuality, or
anything that can in reality be called 'I'.

There is no unmoving mover behind the movement. It is only movement. It is
not correct to say that life is moving, but life is movement itself. Life and movement
are not two different things. In other words there is no thinker behind the thought.
Thought itself is the thinker. If you remove the thought, there is no thinker to be
found.

~What The Buddha Taught

the more 'u' use 'I', the more detached 'u' will be from 'me'.

pretty soon 'u' becomes 'I' and will keep observing 'me'.

it will feels like 'I' and 'me' is 2 person.

'I' cannot exist at the same time with 'me'.

to have 'I', 'u' need to let 'me' go.

NO, I am just an illusion.

I grant to you
No privilege of person
No sense of self
A denial of choice
It wants out
So from all the little bits and pieces
A simple case of lost and found
A wicked new beginning
I don't ever want to see
It's the oldest trick in the book
Just like everything you always knew
Turned upon its very end
There's nothing left to be

Half a mind to say
All the things that bother me today
You better check if it's me
In that ''coffin'' of yours
Or just the one
The one you thought you knew

I am one
Who am I?
No character
To be lost inside

A mind is hard to please
So wander aimlessly

Hands clenched
In fists of rage
Concealed in frustration
There's a part of me that cannot deal
With the character I am forced to be
A thinly veiled plan
To lay your world afoot
Lost in community
Blind in belonging
Is there really nothing more than this?
The emptiness remains
So put on your brave face
And take the plunge again

I am one
Who am I?
No character
To be lost inside

astral is it?

i dunno lol

saka

I try to do this as often as I could, usually it is easier when I am alone and walking.
It is like watching your life on a TV, which is a 5D version of it, as all 5 of your senses are used, you just sit back relax and enjoy.
But most of the time, life just caught up with me.
Sometimes it allows me to choose my perception, for example I see a sexy girl, then I am aroused, which is natural then I feel fear which I believe is programmed, then I ask myself, do I want to feel aroused and fear and I choose something else.
Instead of fear, I replace it with delight or fun.

I also noticed that you make your situation, it is not situation happening to you.

not really, actually you will continue to feel happiness or sadness, and get to choose to keep it or leave it.

So T/s , I find it hard to understand what ur trying to say. But are you asking me to look at myself as a 3rd person and try to be someone else in my own body ?

Right.. like the Matrix

If u do this often, u will soon realize u are a conciousness/ soul that are just living in this empty body

posting in weed lovers thread

Can't brain those /k-ers who replies with a number. What does it mean?

i see....

take the blue pill....

thank you for teaching me how to read without interpreting

In other words, Neo, if you have been given the gift of seeing through the matrix, how do you know that your superior position is not just another layer of matrix, and thus your perceptions as equally useless or useful as a primitive tribesman sitting in a mud hut? How do you know that Morpheus is real, Neo?

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.

So we are the only living creatures that is destroying the Earth. So apa lagi. Go to the jungle, get naked, and contribute something to the eco system

yeah... matrix is the simplified version

i'd rather focus on my kamehameha

Are you kidding me, we are so arrogant to we think we can actually destroy earth....
Think about it, earth has been here for billions of years, gone through asteroid collision, ice age, volcano, earth quake, multiple nuclear test bom and it is still here.
We are the one that is going to go first, not the earth, the earth will continue to exist.
The earth will just probably shake us off just like a bad flee on the a dog's fur and heal itself with time.
To be exact we are just destroying ourself.

kind of quoting from george carlin
