Everyone makes it all sound so complicated.
The words get twisted in numbers and meaningless meanings.

The happening is happening presently, it can not happen at any other 'time'. There is only ever 'this' happening. The mind, with it's thoughts, thinks there is another time, it projects images of another 'time' but really it is just thinking time by believing thought. The mind is deluded when it believes there is more than what is present.

ignore that last one im tired came out #e.........
all that exists is here and now...... with what you are stating... what are you denying of others though?
the ability to plan? to conceptualize and actualize? to grow? to create originality? to play sport? to play music?
or you are just pointing out your observation that all those things are things that happen?

i feel like that example has more to do with the severed connection... if i cut my arm off i would not be 2....
all the parts make the whole... the 2 parts of the brain,, like there is a brain and a heart... make you....
now i dont know if you can say there are multiple yous..... your physical and mental is always a quantity of one....
but how many different phases have you been through since birth? different yous..... and this could be what itsnowagain is talking about... we seperate, and label and dictate these different ideas.. when really there is no seperation,, it is a sloppy slimy growth of you in real time without interuption,, a constant happening. a being..
but it is those little sections,, the seperate frames that make up the fluid film.... the compartmentalizing,, organizing, grouping, measuring, adding, this is how we came to be what we are,, and this is what we use to be... these concepts of us doing that is our building blocks of life...

I understand that .... that is the seer.... the observer... that which does the labeling... that is the spirit... the divine spark.... it is that same essence which is behind the eyes of all conscious beings...

i have a question about light speed if there are any physicists in the house.
Now, light travels at 299,792,458 metres per second.... Light is composed of both visible and non visible ( by human eyes) wavelengths..... Now wouldn't it make sense that the various wavelengths are in fact traveling at different speeds ? They may in fact all arrive at the same time but a spectrum with a shorter wave length vs a spectrum with a longer wave length would be traveling at different speeds would they not ? Or would that be defined as different frequency ? I would think if one were to measure the lengths of the waves certain spectrum's of light would be found to actually travel more distance in the same time as other spectrum's...... Am I way out of the box here or is the a very carelessly overlooked thought by all.

The mind plays stories and the one seer watches.
The ego is the mind thinking it is a separate entity.
The mind is a mistaken identity.
It is the mind that 'thinks' it has choices.
Where the attention is pointed is the only choice there is.
If you point the attention at lies then suffering will be the result.
If the attention points to truth then you will be free.

Do you have a choice about being here and now? How did you get here? This is the question no one knows the answer to.
But you are here and now. You are. This is the only fact you will ever know for sure.
You will never escape here and now no matter what the mind tells you.

But where did the stork come from?
The word stork appeared now and it was wrote now and it was seen now.

You did not 'get' here, as you said you have always been here.

It is only the mind that asks questions because the mind is confused. Know that the mind is confused and you will know the truth. See the mind and know you are not mind.
Once the question is taken seriously the mind can be confused forever. If the mind is seen and known as deluded then you will never be fooled again.

There is nowhere else but here and now.
You are here and now and things constantly move and change within you as you.
But i in the current life form did come into being, that is when and how, i the current life form got here... the physical and temporal me...... but the seer... the spiritual essence of I.... is what is eternal
this is the philosophy of toad.... with his ... eYe, Yew, y0u, wE... you being the personal, free willed, individualed. temporal manifestation,.of the.,., We being the eternal essence or spirit of the eternal god...

Everything comes from source and everything is seen by source.
'I' is the only entity, it is the being.
'I' is not a thing but sees all 'things'.
All 'things' are appearances to you the seer and knower.

There is only one thing you can know for sure and that is that there is experience. The experience in the present is it. Everything else is an assumption, an idea.
Only what is happening is true. What is not happening is not true, it is an assumption, a fabrication of mind.

'I' is not an appearance. 'I' sees the appearances.
Knowing without seeing is what seems to happen in deep sleep, there are no appearances appearing but the 'I' is still present.
Please watch the video.edit on 5-2-2012 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)
ahh, so i think this is what the toadster oven was talking about the universe being an inversion, you say I is not an appearance,, I sees the appearance... in order to have a mechanism which views all other things,, it it self must be a non thing? the seer is in tangible? it is the black hole... the iris of your eye.... the opposite of energy and matter... but the interpreter of energy and matters appearences?

but existence of your present experience and continual experience depends on assumptions, ideas, beliefs, faiths, fabrications of mind,.., you are saying all of those things which you use to experience,, are not true?

There is no 'inside' you and 'outside' of you. This is the mistake that makes life painful. There is only ever what is known presently.
The way you feel is what is present. You will only ever be able to experience what you are experiencing presently.
