Some Concepts of Use

'Death & Sleep'

When death occurs, it occurs from the point of view of the outside observer.

The person who dies, does not know that he has slipped into death.

Just like we are not aware of the point when we drift into sleep.

Only after waking up do we know that we were asleep.

So the questions that arise are:

• How do we know we are alive?
• How do we know we are not asleep?

'Thoughts'

What we call 'thoughts' may not be generated from within us. They could be from the outside. Disembodied voices pretending to be our thoughts.

Ramesh Balsekar, a non dual teacher, says thoughts are not personal.

"Breathing goes on by itself while the deluded individual thinks it is he who is breathing. Thoughts come from outside, arising spontaneously through intervals of mental vacuum, and he thinks it is he who is thinking. The thoughts get transformed involuntarily into action, and he thinks it is he who is acting. All the while, he is doing nothing but to misconstrue the actions of the Totality as his own action." - Balsekar in the 'Net Of Jewels' (1996).

'Memory'

Every single thought has hidden content and power to hypnotise.

For example, the word 'Blue'. It comes with associated content. Images of blue objects, and possible connections with events.

• It is possible that that the memory associated with words that come our way is false.
• It is possible that we are bombarded with false memories on a continuous basis.

The ability of so called 'thoughts' to hypnotise the human is intriguing. Some kind of a hypnotic quality is inevitably a part of these so called 'thoughts'.

But there can be times when the associated hypnotic quality weakens momentarily. In such a moment, the true nature of 'memory', i.e., false memory, can be seen.

'Archetypes'

Ar·che·type/ˈärk(i)ˌtīp/ (Noun):
1. A very typical example of a certain person or thing.
2. An original that has been imitated.

In view of the above commentary, and in view of C.G. Jung's perspectives, it is possible that there is only the PRESENT MOMENT. In which impersonal trajectories with NO PAST are manifesting, in a random manner.

It is possible that what you see as 'you in the past' is only these trajectories, pretending to be you.

The present moment, if it was all that is, it would be always dynamic and changing its flavour. It does not get stuck in any one flavour, at any level.

Slow changing levels, medium chaning levels, fast changing levels. All superposed.




ON 'VOICES'

"Throughout history and even today there are people who hear voices who find their voices inspirational and comforting. Many researchers, practitioners and voice hearers believe it is mistaken to regard voice hearing as part of a psychopathic disease syndrome. Rather, they consider it to be more akin to a variation in human experience - a special faculty or difference that definitely does not need a cure."
