No Age Ontology - The illusion of self-identity and thoughts
from No Age Ontology - Max Corradi · host Max Corradi
The ongoing experience of self-identity usually seems quite real and ‘solid’ for most sentient beings however, upon thorough investigation using different methods of meditative enquiry it becomes quite obvious that it is only an illusion created by the combination of the quality of clarity of the mind and the subtle energy that drives the movement of thoughts. Thought movement can be quite coarse and accompanied by emotional energy, but it can also be extremely subtle and almost ‘still in itself’ during, for example, the meditation on ‘stillness’ or any other meditative experience. In both cases the mind automatically seems to grasp at an identity almost desperately in order to survive even though this is not needed at all. As a matter of fact, one can function normally and with exceptional clarity without grasping at self-identities. In such a case, one would feel completely carefree and joyful but never careless regarding the general suffering of sentient beings. #liberation #time #illusion #mind For more detailed information about No Age Ontology and the the Laws of Reality you can refer to my books here: No Age Ontology ►►►https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX42GPKV The Seven Laws of Reality and Being ►►►https://www.amazon.com/dp/0992730406
