"There is only the looking" resonates.........."refining and evolving 'that' which is looking"
does appear to be what is happening but for some reason i have trouble accepting that.
It does make sense though as I have been thinking lately that all this makes no sense without some purpose, if you will.
I guess what I am saying is it doesn't matter what I think, the fact remains I am being refined and evolving in a certain direction.
Just sharing
James

There is nothing to do other than what life does thru you. What life thinks thru you and what life feels thru you.
Learning may not be the right word. Getting use to it as it is like being born again is more like it.
It's easy, I find, to slip into unawareness. Life unaware of itself. Noticing that, is probably what i am learning if anything.
I notice that I can speak from unawareness or I can let speaking happen. I notice the difference.
This realization is relatively new to me so keep that in mind as you read my words.
I'm a 52 year old toddler..........and all that can be known, really known, is known.
I am awake.......................
Does that explain it better?

Well, that goes hand in hand with the issue I've recently found myself having.
I feel enlightened , I feel pleasure in being enlightened. But what I could do then, I can't do now.
I try to remember how it felt, to be aware of me .
I used to also explain it as, being one alone in the universe.
As if I wasn't me looking through my eyes, as if I was a watcher.
Hm, it's hard to explain. It's like I wasn't aware of anything but being aware of everything?... UGH.
As if I was just perceiving things, only perceiving things.
I try now, and I can't seem to get that feeling anymore.

That's just the thing. The mind cannot understand what you experienced. You experienced the indescribable.

Which is what i have called it. It does not have names for things. It does not have values for things, it does not recognise, things as things, it is not aware of a place it is, nor a thing it is.
You need not try to get that feeling, it hasn't left. When you are quiet in musing moment or relaxed you will find there is a slow but sure thinning perception of what is called external/object/experience. It doesn't have the 'truth' it used to have. The brilliance that underlies it becomes more apparent.
And saying that, just now i understand why.
It does not disappear over the horizen Rememoration, it integrates, and then reclaims by default.

Is there anything past knowing you are and experiencing the self?
Is it just purely knowledge of I, or is it followed with other knowledge.
I just want to know.
Yes... there's lots more to discover in the self and The Self, not by thinking but by silently seeing and feeling.
Just keep going.

Right, thank you.
Meditation should help.
