Have a rest from the mind stories and games and enter the kingdom.
If you are trying to avoid your mind you are trying to avoid yourself because you are your mind. I used to be deluded as you.
I am right here and right now and my mind makes images of a past and future me's. Those past and future me's are not what I am. Thoughts tell you that you are good one minute and bad the next. Can you trust the mind to know the truth?
I am not the mind. The mind is a programmed machine. I can watch the workings of the machine, i see how foolish it is. It resists, it reacts, it gets insulted, it is fearful, it defends and fights.edit on 14-5-2012 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)

What the hell are you talking about? Of course we move. We have legs. If the world around you was moving then you would wake up somewhere different to where you went to sleep.

You are your mind. If you're not your mind there will be no experience. You cannot be seperate from anything you experience otherwise you wouldn't experience it. So you cannot be seperate from your mind and if you think you can be then you make it your reality.
You resist, you react, you get insulted, you are fearful, you defend and fight. It's a matter of what you focus on. If you focus on a disturbed mind then that's what you get.

Without the body, the mind has no power in our social construct/universe, therefore, the argument falls through. You are not your mind, you are much more including interactions with others.

how about those who are "brain dead" yet kept alive by artificial means? There's a body, there's no mind.
In order to function in this universe, you need the interaction of the body and the mind.edit on 17-5-2012 by PurpleChiten because: (no reason given)

Of course, as is yours and everyone else's. That's what makes it our own.

Yes, so it's obvious that you're not a body.
