Examine appearances like thoughts
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…

Just thinking and sensing, no self.
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
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.

Your not lost
So when you suddenly wake up in the morning you look on the table and indeed there is a map pointing out where you are and how to get out of the forrest so your feeling very happy now and excited you put the map in your pocket and after eating the left over soup you decide to go on your way home, out of the forrest, but when you walk near the lake you trip over a twig and you almost fall into the lake and to your dismay you see that the map fell from your pocket into the lake so without hesitating you jump after it but its too late the map is drenched and unusable you start to cry cause you can't get home now and to make matters even worse the big scary wolf has returned at the side of the lake and this time he has brought his scary friends and you can't swim well enough to swim to the other side so you start screaming for help HELP HEEELP! PLEASE HELP MEEE!!... And then you wake up in bed at home safe and sound, were you ever lost?
Like this your dreaming this life now with all of its ups and downs and troubles and strugles, now reading this and no matter what you do, you can't make yourself wake up, the dream keeps coming back until it doesn't. No matter what you are doing your dreaming of doing it, the question is who is dreaming you?... Are you in it separately or is it just one appearance in the mind, nothing separate, just life happening, no separate controller who is doing? No doer, just doing, no one to liberate? Everything just happening?
