the human being is powerless

concept:
existence cannot be conceptualized because it is prior to thought.

if existence cannot be conceptualized, it is not an object. if not object, then not subject to time.

what appears as reality (object) is the unreal. like a cartoon. flip the pages, the characters change positions, but nothing actually happens. no 'thing' is doing anything. action but no actor.

conceptualization has no author. thinking but no thinker. ask this: what's the next thought? what's the next thought? there is no response. the mind is quiet. quiet because and idea asks the question. you are not the thinker. the mind is in the painting. how could it ever identify the painter?

buddha called thought the 6th sense. you do nothing to hear, see ,feel, taste, smell, or think. you are powerless. the powerless witnessing of manifestation. that's why jesus said: 'forgive them for they know not what they do.' there is no doer of deeds. thought, like any other object, appears spontaneously.

i am either the body/mind writing this or i am prior for it is being experienced. i cannot be both.

like an apple cannot taste itself.

therefore i am prior to concept.

jeus also said: 'i am not god but of god.' and nissargadatta: 'i take my stand prior to all. i am the primal ground.'

consider all that appears to occur an accident. there must be a witness to testify to the accident. like standing on the corner waiting for a car wreck. but there is no one there, only witnessing.

what am i? what am i?

inquire until it is seen that no one is inquiring.

when man sees that man is an idea, peace on earth. for if no thought, identify the enemy.

a young boy asked socrates: 'if i am not the thinker, what should i do?' the reply: 'just go on thinking that you think.'
rest easy. whatever the station in life, it could be no other way.
