Personhood Personified

June 25th, 2011

‘Waking up,’ like everything else, can only be an event in this dream mind is dreaming. There is no telling if and when mind will feature that taking place in the dream for you. In the absence of people, this being a dream, truth includes the annoying realization that it really doesn’t matter, since it doesn’t involve a person.

If ‘reality’ is the dream mind is dreaming, then ‘waking up,’ contrary to wishful thinking, can’t involve people, only the dreamers in the dream. A dreamer wakes up in this dream when the dream features it ‘waking up’ in this dream, and not because the dreamer, posing as a person, fills time ‘practicing enlightenment’ on a daily basis in the dream. When the dreamer wakes up in the dream, it realistically views all such practice as comedy in a charade. How can ‘waking up’ to the truth take place in reality if reality is the dream mind is dreaming?

Language

June 16th, 2011

According to Buddhists who

are flat with the fact truth is absolute, like Wei Wu Wei, language is an event in the dream and not an event in reality. If mind is dreaming ‘reality,’ then reality, aka ‘right now,’ includes ‘language,’ or all the ways the dreamers in this dream fill time with ‘talking,’ revealing, on closer inspection, that most talk services “The Master Lie,” that right now is real, and not a dream, and that all the dreamers in the dream are the people they portray in the dream. If right now is a mind generated dream, then it pays to pay attention to language because it reveals where all the dreamers in the dream are with the fact truth is absolute.

The Default Setting

June 9th, 2011

If it’s true right now is the dream mind is dreaming, and there are no people, only dreamers in the dream relying on duality to defend the fiction they are people, then every dreamer, on close inspection, relies on “The Default Setting” to sustain the fiction it is a person in this dream.

“The Default Setting,” which, in the name of brevity we can refer to as TDS, is what the dreamer reverts to in the dream to prolong the fiction the self is real. No dreamer in this dream can defend the fiction it is a ‘real person’ without relying on the fiction the self it invented is real. This is “The Dreamer’s Dilemma” in this dream. If the self can only exist as a concept in this dream, then how can any dreamer in this dream successfully defend the fiction it is the person it portrays in this dream? Obviously, mind makes it possible for the dreamers in this dream to drag out the defense of “The Master Lie” (that right now is real not a dream) with the fiction the self is real.

Acceptance

June 1st, 2011

If right now can only be the dream mind is dreaming, then nothing ‘going on’ has anything to do with people. The dreamers in this dream accurately display where they are between acceptance and rejection of the truth. If truth is absolute, meaning right now can never be anything any more real than the dream mind is dreaming, then nothing ‘going on’ has ever had anything to do with people. There are no ‘human beings,’ not if ‘right now’ can only be the dream mind is dreaming.

A dreamer is awake in this dream when it accepts the fact it can only be a dreamer in this dream, taking note of where it is with that fact from one moment to the next in the dream. When it lives with the fact ‘right now’ is what mind is dreaming, in its entirety, there is zero duality: mind is dreaming everything just the way it manifests, including the dreamers, and how they create duality in the dream to defend the fiction they are the people they portray in the dream. In a state of perpetual ‘mindfulness,’ right now is the dream mind is dreaming, and everything ‘gong on’ can only be more content in the dream, including how the dreamers fill time ‘creating duality to do personhood believably in the dream.’
