I can observe with or without thoughts. Babies do it all the time it's beatiful to watch the wonder in their little eyes.

It doesn't go to waste, someone somewhere will benefit from it

Movies are enjoyed more if you don't think a lot during them. I think it was Krishnamurti who coined the phrase, "observe the observer" I will google it and find out.... google thinks for me I think...

yup it was krishnamurti...

Meditation as it is generally understood and practiced is a process of the expansion of the self; often meditation is a form of self-hypnosis. All such meditation leads to illusion. The craving for achievement demands a technique, a method, practice of which is considered meditation. Through compulsion imitation and through the formation of new habits and disciplines, there will be no freedom, no understanding; The change of the objects of desire does not bring release from conflict and sorrow. Will is self-expansive intelligence and the activity of will to be or not to be, to gather or renounce, is still of the self. Krishnamurti 1946

Hi.
Being my naive and transparent self I have to ask.
It has been pointed out to me you may be another forum member here to trick me?

Could there be truth to that?

A person showing up under a new forum name isn't necessarily about trying to trick others. It could be for a lot of reasons. Like wanting a new start or ending some stalking type situation where somebody hates you and won't leave you alone. I remember the good old days where a person could have like 5 alts on forums and have discussions with themselves lol.

The posts would be like:

Joe: I am god!
Lucy: Awesome post Joe! Luv it!

I like forums that let you change your name every few months or so. I was on one gaming forum and they allowed a name change once a year.

This is my first time on here as JustBe.

I am not sure about why you think my reason for being here as I am, is about you and tricking you. That to me is projecting ideas in my reason for sharing and posting and really your not my reason for being here.

I came here because I like it.

If you have problem with me interacting with you. I can stop right now.

Just ask.

I didn't think anything. Someone pointed out you may have been on here under another name and maybe trying to trick me.

Instead of assuming that was the case I thought I'd just ask. I like asking for clarification if I am made aware of something I hadn't thought of.

You say you are here for the first time as Justbe.
Does that mean you were here before as someone else or not?

I have no problem with you interacting with me whatsoever.

With Love
