Where do thoughts come from when they have arisen?… 

Where do they reside when they have come?… 

Where have they gone when they have disappeared?… 

In the same way when appearances have come where have they  come from?… 

Where do they stay?… Where do they go?… 

What about you? Where do you come from when you have arisen in the morning?…

Where do you reside when you have come?…

Where do you go to when sleep takes over?…

Where have you appeared from when you were born?…

Where do you reside when your alive?…

Where will you go when your dead?…

Where does consciousness come from when it appears?…

Where does consciousness stay when it has appeared?…

Where does consciousness disappear to when it goes away?…

To take this even further where did the whole universe, visible and invisible, come from right after the big bang?…

Where does it reside in after the big bang?…

Where will it disappear to at the end of the kalpa or big crunch?…

Have you found the thoughts? The you? Where they reside in?… Psst you can't. 

Do you or thoughts actually exist in the first place?… If they couldn't be found…

Does anything?… What is real should last forever, does anything? Ultimately? The question real or unreal becomes redundant… It is real in the eye of the beholder, if the beholder itself is not found… Then there is nothing more to say… 

Look in this wy…

Thinking that is the thing to look into, look at thinking itself, are you doing it? 

Really focus your attention on this, when a stream of thought has started (did you do that?) does thought build up an actual I or a self in any way or does it just make it seem that way? 

Not where it comes from, not stopping them or even having only peaceful thought or something, that is all unrelated to seeing no self, just simple, do thoughts represent a self?

Do all of the thoughts you ever had now represent a self? If it does where is it now?

Look at this because nothing, not anything anyone has ever written itself can ever make one see this without actually looking. Is it an untested assumption that a self is really there? Or is there really a self there separating you from the whole of life? 

Same with observing, is there an observer? Are you doing this observing or is just that, the observation, without an observer doing the observing? 

A way to test this is just closing the eyes not doing anything else and a noticing that observing just goes on, nobody doing it, just seeing of blackness, no you seeing the blackness. 

Then with open eyes see everything appearing, nothing fancy. So everything is seen, is a separate you in it? Has there ever been an actual separate self having your experience or was there just experiencing, no experiencer there at all in reality?

Isn't it always like this: First experience and only then thoughts about it saying it is good or bad and everything in between? Seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling, thoughts about it which could be followed by emotion, nothing more?

Notice can you see the emotions anger or fear directly? Is anything there behind it having it? Anyone there having it?

Look is there a seer, hearer, toucher, taster, smeller, someone having emotion or just emotion coming up, staying for thee uninvited then subsiding again?

Does sensing happen because you are doing it or does it just happen by itself? Can you turn it on or off in general like a light switch? When falling asleep it is just suddenly gone, but do you really decide the exact moment? Like your not actually falling asleep you literally disappear, actually also not really like that cause there is no one to disappear in the first place, see?

Everything is there, seeming others, houses, nature, world, stars, galaxies, universe, just no you anywhere, is it true? Is a self needed for anything in nature, animals, atoms? Why would you be any different?

No method, not even no method used as a method by an assumed separate individual can bring him to what is alone real.

What one really is one already is before anything appeared, would it not be futile to try to become what one already is before anything appeared with that which appeared?

An appeared body cannot sense the infinite, an appeared mind cannot understand or know the infinite which alone always is, no matter what it comes up with.

So do not take anything that is ever said as something you think you are must do something with.

Not any form of meditation or connecting or contemplation will make any difference, you cannot become what you never stopped being. There is just Being, no one to do it.

There is no self here, in the illusion that once appeared and will go, yet you cannot really ever deny that there is existing, it is existence alone, that which never comes or goes which now and again appears as if becoming all this, it is That which has experienced every waking moment, dream moment and the end of experiences of deep sleep, and your body posture right now, the words your currently reading and the thoughts about them, all the senses that perceive or constitute the world are experienced by You, know this thoughtless Knowledge.

Only You exist like only the rope exists when you think you see a snake, only sand and heat are there when you think your seeing water if you happen to be in the dessert seeing a mirage.

One day you fall asleep and your dreaming that you decide to go to the forrest and your walking and walking and the birds are singing and everything is fine. So you keep walking on without thinking where you are going so after a while you look around and think "where am I?", and you get a little anxious… And then you suddenly spot a big scary wolf in the distance coming towards you… So you start pannicking and run away deeper and deeper into the forrest. But after running as long and hard as you could you realize the big scary wolf did not follow you at all but now your even more lost, so in dispair you start looking for your way home and you notice its getting dark. So after wandering around feeling totally lost you spot a lake with a little house on the side so you decide to see if you can spend the night there, but turns out the door is open, upon entering you see a kitchen with a catle of soup still on the stove and since your very hungry from all of the running you eat until your satisfied. There is also a fire place and your feeling cold so you light it up and decide to sit on the couch to warm up and because you feel tired you dose and dream about finding a map in the same house on the table...

So this blog is a part of a blog roll on the premise of no-self for the website: www.liberationunleashed.com I have mostly written about non-duality after seeing happened, one of them is now only writing about food and recipes which is also non-duality if you stretch it very far ;-) Anyway so I did see there is no-self in experience at all when I was staring out of my window, which went like: "So there is no-self let me check that out finally and once and for all right now! So seeing, hearing touching tasting smelling is happening right now whether I choose to or not, so how can eyes, ears, skin, nose actually be me in itself, how amazing! I mean if you are some-thing you should actually have control over it right? So on I went, I heard and felt my stomach roaring, so in direct experience, I did not control the whole digestion including chewing, after all when you put food in when it's time to eat chewing just starts and you don't control that exactly (check that out). When the food has turned to waste it eventually has to come out and it will whether you like it or not. Filtering the liquids you take in just happening, when the bladder is too full it will come out in the end whether you like it or not. Are you still with me here? Hairs, fingernails and skin is growing all by itself. Breathing will go on by itself, you don't really decide how the air goes in (deep, shallow, rate) and out and during sleep it just goes on. Thoughts about every experience you have and about others come up spontaneously without consciously doing that, thinking happens... All of that seen to be true in direct experience, do I exist itself behind all that controlling it all? NO, so they are right, totally right, how amazing! And this is true for all those people on their bikes(I live in the (Netherlands) and the drivers of those cars. They have a destination but how they get there is going quite unconsciously and is not really in their hands, it just flows, also they did not decide what they wanted at the time they did, so what is true here is true for others. But only reading this won't do in this process, it only comes alive when tested and seen in your own direct experience of life. So the only goal of this blog post is to get you to at least thoroughly test this out for yourself at a point in life, another advice is to not read another spiritual or life altering text without actually testing it out for yourself in actual experience without prejudice if it is true. Ciaran Healy, the one who was the start of this process through the precursor site of Liberation Unleashed called Ruthless Truth, always said to really test things out, to figuratively put on a pair of glasses of no-self to have an actual honest look how things would be if they indeed were totally true, taking that perspective, looking at it from all angles, seriously looking true those lenses and then taking them of so to speak and then look if it could really be true already but you just never really looked at it that way. Also good if you are arguing with somebody all the time spent a minute in their shoes, imagine maybe they are right or at least you understand them better. Do that for a while with this blog post, really walk around with those goggles and in those shoes of no-self, like a scientist… Is it true?

 Why look for an other?

 A description from the perspective of the Self, the Brahman, the One without a second: “I am there where there are no differences, no love, no hate, no peace nor war, no beauty and no ugliness. Where I am there are no problems and no fear for pain or desire for pleasure. I am without beginning or end, without creation, sustenance or destruction. There is no action or inaction, no will to achieve or lethargy to let everything happen by itself. There is no doer, neither is there free will or fate. I have no cause yet I, the Self, the Brahman am the cause of everything. I am the always non-objective beyond any subject or object, beyond seer, sight and seen, observer or observed, sense, senser and sensed. I have no body yet everything is my body. Everything is appearing to me and in me like a dream and disappears again.

First there was nothing beyond the words nothing and everything and then there was One with the tendency to become many, from it started to appear and disappear the many, but what comes and goes is not really the Real, what is Real can only be something that is Eternal, Unchanging and Undivided which I am. Other terms for my true nature are Being, Consciousness, Bliss.

Then human beings came into being by me becoming identified with a body as my own self, also your body reader. Through identifying as your body and all the bodies I can experience separation and the many, having all kinds of adventures, like being a king or a hero saving beautiful girls from villains. I had all kinds of fantastic dreams and now I am dreaming your exact circumstance (reading this at this very moment) and every problem or victory or lack thereof. If you can see or remember that all the time then that is what is called Self-realization.

By having the true conviction that I am Brahman, One without a second this can come to fruition. This is the only mantra of and beyond all mantras all others are there only to silence the mind and when the mind becomes still then the real mantra practice can begin, first in words then in thoughts and then seeing it's real meaning on the inside of the inside… When this conviction that I am Brahman One without a second becomes automatic drop it and "become" That alone…

You are already That One without a second when your body is born, then automatically the idea or feeling that I am this and you are that comes but never is this the Truth, there is only one Truth and Thou Art That always, birth after birth. The Knowing of this beyond knower and known is the true Happiness and Bliss we are all looking for in oh so many things and experiences outside of Ourselves but that can and will never last or give continuous happiness. As a big example we look for it in (new) relationships but one or both of you are going to get sick and die or you do something wrong and you split up and love mostly turns into hate. When looking at the true center which is the Self it is Self looking at Self, it is the only Self that there is and it cannot be seen by the not-Self so discriminate between the Self and the not-Self, between the Real and the unreal what comes and goes and what is lasting.

It has been said shun everything outside yourself like excretion or poison and go inside to experience Yourself. This has been said to motivate you to experience and know your own Self. Ask yourself who am I? What am I? Why try to know all else without knowing Yourself the one that knows first. There are thoughts but how do you know that they are there? It is known by me the I so you are not the thoughts. You know the pleasures and the pains of the body and the body as a whole so your not the body then who are you? The I who knows, identifies with this and that? This is not as stable as you think, where does it go in deep dreamless sleep? Then appears a dream body and your identified with the dream body, your not even that, look where has this I itself its resting place? Look, right when you and the world appear again after sleep and see a minute ago there was no I? How could that be possible? In sleep what I really am has not ended but this I and the world it sees or is aware of both disappeared totally for you then who am I really all the time? Cause should I not be the same thing all the time? The Self One without a second that did not disappear and so does not appear.

Be still and know… Be still and Know that I am That itself… I am That One without a second and the rest is superimposed upon it like the snake within a rope or a garden hose, the water in a mirage or the thief in a post, totally real to you before you look closer and you become anxious or even terrified but when you look again real close you see the reality and your at peace again.

I am That, I am Brahman, I am alone the One without a second! Within me there is nothing but also everything that came from nothing and what comes from nothing can only be more of the same…But this nothing is total fullness, radiant of all encompassing Eternal Love with Bliss as its consequence… Keep That Eternal flame burning in your Heart beyond time and space, stay aware of this, love this by Being Unconditional and Undivided Love… Be the Love you are looking for on the outside and stay there by Undoing…
