Reader: Sir, there are other teachers who say that if you can’t break sleep, you can’t break life and death. If you don’t know you will go to sleep while you sleep, you won’t know you died when you die. Don’t you have to cultivate the Qingming dream first, knowing that you are asleep, knowing that you are dreaming, so that you will know where you are going when you die?
Bright: Yes, after death, who has left "know"? The feeling of "knowing" itself is a consciousness effect. After death, the consciousness is temporarily gone. There is no "knowing", only oneself (THAT). I don't suggest you "practice". I'm talking about "understanding", not practice. Where to go after death? There is no concept of "where". The concept of "after death" is a story of thoughts and hallucinations. If there is a "after death", look at the moment, it looks like this.
Reader: It feels like death is fainted with a stick, and amnesia is coming again. I finally understand it now.
Bright: THAT has no "where". How can THAT without space have the geographical concept of "where"? Why "memory"? All thoughts have to remember are hallucinations. Is it interesting to grasp hallucinations? Do you want to keep the memory of night dreams? Losing consciousness does not mean that consciousness will not rise again. It seems that a "life" has begun again. This is the manifestation effect of THAT.
Consciousness is like you have caught a cold. When the cold is over, consciousness is gone. Then get another cold, infinite loop. THAT will never change. "Memory" and "thought" are the same illusion. Without thought, there is no memory. The two are in sync. Thoughts and memories are all illusions, completely empty, why do you catch them? "Time" is equivalent to thought, so "memory" is time, that is, "past", and memory never lives in the present. In other words, "thoughts" cannot live in the present. It may be said that the body is alive in the present, but it is impossible for the mind or memory to live in the present.
Reader: Yeah! Anyway, THAT can't die, so I can only worry about it. THAT loves to play the game of heaven, humanity, and ghost. Anyway, it has nothing to do with the ego, so worry about it.
is bright: yes, that's right. Worry about. THAT transcends rationality,It's beyond memory, it's beyond time and space, it's beyond consciousness and awareness.
Reader: Let go of another important entanglement, happy!
Bright: All the experiences you think you are experiencing have not actually happened, but it does not deny that it is happening in the sense. The happening of this sense is only the effect of consciousness, not really what is happening. In fact, the present is dead. What is the difference between dead and alive? After death, as now, consciousness will still arise, similar to a dream. Maybe it's the "after death" now, can you be sure it's not after death?
Reader: I really don’t know! Today I feel the difference between the moment I fell asleep and when I woke up, I can't be sure.
Bright: Don't believe that there is a dividing line between "dead" and "live", NO, without such a dividing line, "dead and live" are concepts that are flickered by thoughts, and scare yourself. There is also no dividing line of "falling asleep, waking up, dreaming". In consciousness you say that you can see that so-and-so has passed away, but in consciousness you can never experience your own death, because a few seconds before "death" comes, consciousness will not be found, and "Who" can experience death? Experience requires consciousness as a prerequisite.
The one who can raise consciousness and then find it will not have birth and death. Are you sure it is not a dream now? Are you sure you are not sleeping now? Nothing is certain, nothing is certain. But the only certainty is: I am here.
Also, thinking may think that other people’s "death" can be experienced in experience, but this "death" is a concept determined by thinking and rationality. What is going on? Thinking and rationality cannot be determined. I can only say that the "other people's death" that you experience is just a storyline weaved out by thought and reason, and there is no such thing as "death".
Reader: Then there will be magical powers when you really wake up, what do you think, sir?
Bright: Maybe, but this is not the pursuit of goals. If there is "supernatural power", the one who understands doesn't care or know. If you pursue supernatural powers, there will be no supernatural powers. Only if you don't care about this, it might rise spontaneously. THAT is magical power.
Reader: I also think that supernatural powers are like a sign to verify awakening.
Bright: No, it is not verified like this. Those are the performances of some fudge masters for others,Soliciting business. You see, Master RAMANA, who really understands, has never demonstrated magical powers. Then someone said that they saw Master RAMANA’s magical powers and asked him if this was manifested by you? RAMANA denies this absurd view.
If there is a manifestation of magical powers, it must not be attributed to the manifestation of an individual. It is definitely not the magical powers manifested by the person RAMANA. The only magical power is THAT, not any individual.
The real verification can only be verified by yourself. Not to others.
Reader: Well, I can also understand this. When I was concentrating on high mathematics in college, it seemed that he had inadvertently learned his mind.
Bright: "Supernatural powers" are actually experienced by both you and me, such as a certain prediction, such as a certain transcendence of time. But these are not important. I was looking for a job a long time ago, but I knew the job would come by myself. It really came by itself, I didn't look for it. But I don't owe any credit to the person "I", it's TA's magic.
Reader: Well, everyone has it, but they are all covered up. But when you wake up, it's possible all the time?
Bright: I will not preach magical powers to fool you. It makes you concentrate on the pursuit of supernatural powers, and it becomes a kind of profit gain, but you don't understand what you are. THAT does not need magical powers to obtain certain benefits, because THAT is the magical powers themselves, and THAT does not need to gain benefits. In fact, you have magical powers by raising your hands. How can TA without exercise have the effect of exercise? How can TA without time and space have the effect of time and space? How can an unconscious TA have a awareness effect? This is supernatural power. Every moment of experience is magical and magical powers, and you don't need to wait until you see through the wall to see the magical powers.
Reader: Yeah, yeah! There are ghosts, there is no need to pursue them. But I don't know how to know that I am awake?
Bright: Now let's talk about the ultimate topics that ordinary practitioners don't talk about. NO, there is no such thing as "waking up by yourself". No one "self" can "wake up". I just wrote this article and forgot the title. Why "wake up"? THAT doesn't care about "waking up", because THAT doesn't know the difference between "waking up" and "not waking up". THAT is THAT, there is no concept of thought.
Reader: It seems to have a special experience,Something said it exploded.
Bright: I have experienced a special experience, completely open and free, the kind of very beautiful special experience that covers all existence, the special feeling that is closely connected with everything, and the special feeling that implements all. I thought this was enlightenment. Well, it's not. These special experiences are all experience experiences rather than real understanding. If there is a "self" praying to wake up, this "self" is the hallucinated "I" and not THAT. Real "understanding" is not a special form of experience that can be experienced in experience.
Reader: Then you can only transcend and see through Mr.'s article. When the perspective is completely THAT, then you know you are yourself.
Bright: "Understanding" is not a special effect experience. "Understanding" does not happen in experience. I said that the moment was lighter than the landing of a needle, it is impossible to say. It seems that nothing happened, but everything is different, and the experience is still the same. "Understanding" is not a form of conceptual experience, but the view is completely different.
Reader: How did the gentleman know that he was awake by chance? You seem to have experience with sound streaming?
Bright: I found that there is no "self" to wake up, and the "self" to wake up does not exist at all, it is an illusion. This discovery is completely opposite to your current thinking logic. You may not really understand my article yet. I don't have the illusion of "I want to wake up". How can there be a "wake up" without a "me"?
Reader: I am not understanding, I cannot see through from every corner.
Bright: This "I am Li comprehension" is not yourself, but an illusion of thinking and reason. Leave it alone. You yourself have nothing to do with the "I" of "I am sensible." The illusion has nothing to do with yourself.
Reader: Leave it alone, keep walking, the fear is disappearing, and you see progress.
Bright: You take the illusion "you" as the real you, thinking it is yourself. NO, there is no need for the claim that "I am intellect" to accomplish any task. It is enough to understand that he is an insignificant hallucination impression. This is immediately understandable, and it is too easy to describe. Li=MIND=THINKING, this "li" can never be "enlightened". There is no "I" that can be enlightened, because "I" is "li" or "mind".But many people in society claim that they are enlightened, have started classes, and have recruited thousands of students, all of which are telling fairy tales.
Reader: No one can be enlightened. Many masters have said the same. Therefore, the Buddha did not say a sentence in 49 years, but only refers to the moon finger, not the moon.
Bright: "Understanding" is not someone enlightened. To understand is to understand what you are. But I don't want to pour cold water on everyone. Sometimes it is too disappointing for "people" to say nothing. What the Buddha said in 49 years was empty talk. What I said is empty talk. The truth (THAT) cannot be said and cannot be communicated. Only you can find out. Buddha can't help you, Bright can't help you, no one can help you, only you can understand. This understanding is not a conceptual understanding of the language.
If you understand, you won't come to me.
Reader: I am not afraid of pouring cold water. I just want to know that I am awake for a moment.
Bright: You will know, but I can't describe it to you. This cannot be described and cannot be communicated and cannot be taught.
Reader: Is it epiphany or gradual realization? How does it happen?
Bright: If you know it, you can't describe it to me. "Understanding" cannot be taught. Is it mature little by little, then? Can't tell. It is also a "pause" and a "gradual". For example, today, if there is no "pause" for you, it is "gradual".
Reader: Although there is no repair and no proof, there is still a process. I still realize it from time to time?
Bright: How to define a pause? How to define a gradual? If there are a hundred small pauses, is it considered gradual? Suddenly you will understand that the "process" is an illusion. Without an individual, how can there be a process? The concept of "process" is based on the logic of thought and illusion based on something and an individual. But when I don’t understand it, I really think that there is a "process" with a goal and a "development". To understand is to understand that there is no "process", no "goal", no "development", no "thing", but it seems that there is a consciousness manifestation effect of something, a process, a goal, and development. These effects are empty. Even if you feel that you have passed tens of thousands of years, passed hundreds of millions of reincarnations, and suddenly discovered that there is no time at all, no process, as if nothing happened in the same place. This is surprising.
Reader: If you really understand it is THAT,It's also THAT if I don't understand, but I can't stop my eyes.
Bright: "Time" is an illusion. You are right, THAT doesn't care about "understand" or "don't understand". THAT does not understand these concepts. Just like you don't care about dreaming or not dreaming. Only the dream character in the dream has the desire to break the dream, the dreamer does not have the desire to break the dream, because the dreamer understands that the dream is an illusion of emptiness, and there is no increase or decrease in value. The joke is exciting, why should I break it?
Reader: I don’t think time is illusion, I just heard that time is illusion, so THAT is still playing.
Bright: You cannot rely on "feel" to prove that time is illusion, because the effect of "feel" is an illusion of thought. How can illusion prove itself? The effect of "time" and "feel" are the same energy illusion of consciousness Effect, this circle cannot be taken out. If we rely on "feeling" to prove that "feeling" is an illusion, it is like "feeling" suicide.
If it feels so reliable, Sakyamuni does not need to say that "feeling, thinking, behavior, and consciousness" are all illusions of emptiness. Broadly speaking, feelings, awareness, and consciousness are thoughts in a broad sense. This is why Shakyamuni refers to the "unconscious world". The one who says "I don't think" or "I just heard" is Mind, not who you really are. Don't have that "me", but understand that it is the character in the dream.
Reader: Mr. is really the first to break the illusion. Let me burn my brain.
Bright: No, you don’t have to burn your brain. The “brain” is also the manifestation effect of consciousness. Seeing that this effect is not real but empty, it is equivalent to being separated from the illusion. Don't do anything else redundantly. An illusion that does not exist at all does not need to be "burned" or "destroyed." You don't need to do anything deliberately, but as I pointed out above, you can see clearly: the "I" who complained about this and that is not the real self, but a kind of consciousness effect, it is not important. It is enough to understand this. It's not that difficult. The hard part is that you still don't see that these are the emptiness effects of consciousness, and they don't really exist.
Reader: I now have a sense of motionlessness, and I also know that it is me. But letting go of everything and letting THAT take control of it hasn't felt yet.
bright: THAT is the present,You are already a TA yourself, there is no difficulty. The difficulty is to find that what your mind and reason tells you is flicker. Take your time, a "pause" today and a "pause" tomorrow, a year later, it will be completely different.
Each frame is lighter and subtler than the landing of a needle, and matures imperceptibly. The real increase in sensitivity is a completely hidden inner life, completely invisible on the surface. Don't expect that a huge special experience experience.
Reader: For example, when I am at work, I can immediately let go of responsibilities. It seems that I don't know how to let it go.
Bright: NO, not so black or white. What the boss wants you to do, of course, is not to suggest you give up. Instead, I understand that the boss is THAT, work is THAT, you are THAT, work is THAT, all are TAs, and there is no "you" involved. But if your body can't take it anymore and you quit your job, your body is TA, resigning is TA, going home to rest is TA, or there is no "you" involved. Because all these are TAs, and there is no independent "you". Everything done or not done in experience is TA’s, not "you".
Reader: I am not serious enough in my work anyway. Fortunately, I have enough brains to deal with it without much effort.
Bright: No matter whether you are struggling or not, the feeling of strenuousness is TA, whether you are serious or not, this feeling is TA, not "you". If you really let go, fall down, slouch, do whatever you want, and do it all, it's TA's will, not "you" can control. TA can show the disabled beggar lying on the ground at the same time, and can also show the emperor arrogantly at the same time, and simultaneously show the scene of the emperor kicking the beggar with his foot. In fact, it is the same simultaneous appearance of THAT. There is no right or wrong, no value increase or decrease.
Reader: Let go, let go, what to do, haha.
Bright: Yes, this is a good attitude. There is no desire, it is satisfied. It was originally a THAT game. If the characters in the game have desires, they are asking for trouble.
The most important thing to understand is: TA is yourself, you are TA, what you do is what TA does, no difference. You don't need to become a TA, you are already a TA. Even if you don't feel it is TA, it is TA. TA does not need to "feel" to be TA.On the contrary, TA just likes to play "feel wrong" games. So don’t put the yardstick on the “feeling” of the conclusion. You won’t be a TA just because you don’t feel it.
I often say this analogy: TA always manifests himself in an infinite deviation from him. But there is no real deviation.
Reader: I have this belief and confidence.
Bright: It is enough to understand the above paragraph, this is your backbone.
I don't know the one you are talking about. Many people claim to be "enlightened", but they don't understand it. It is invisible from the language. If a person claims to be "I am enlightened", he does not understand. I suggest you look at PAPAJI, RAMANA, NISARGADATTA, others may not really understand. But they all speak very well. Most people can't see it at all.
Reader: Well, it is an Indian saint who is very thorough. I also like Robert Adams.
Bright: One thing can be seen, the one who doesn't really understand will say: I am consciousness, and then tell the story of the "big self" to the "little self" to teach the "small self" to become the "big self". If I really understand, what is consciousness? I transcend consciousness. The one who really understands doesn't say "big me and little me".
Yes, ROB really understands it. There may also be TONY PARSONS, you can also listen to it. The one who doesn't really understand will attract many students, because the stories he tells are all fairy tales that are in line with ideology and logic. They are very beautiful and romantic. For ideology and reason, this kind of fairy tales are particularly attractive and give "me" hope. However, these hopes are all illusions. THAT is THAT, there is no need for hope, because THAT has no time, and hope is synonymous with "time".
I will not give hope to "mind reason". I don't fool "you". If there is hope for thinking rationality, it is equivalent to strengthening the illusion cycle energy. How do you understand?
