Seeking what is.

[gliding58]

Hi everyone, this is Brian from Montreal Canada.

 

My whole life I was told what life means.

 

It means my possessions, my obstacles, my ambitions, my conquest, my obligations, morality, spirituality, religion, family, talents, control etc.

 

So life defines the above, and the above represents it.

 

But this is all conditioning.

And conditioning arises from a singular isolated condition merely repeated and distorted as multiplied.

 

Yes. In terms of events it's quantifiable.

 

But it's a singular concept with a single excuse and opportunity to validate itself.

 

So the disillusioning is introducing itself.

 

Now what?

 

Thank you for your input.

Hello Brian,

Welcome to TDB. Congrats on the falling away of "yourself"

 

Now what? Well, I don't have any answer for you, except to say, there's nothing to do and nowhere to go.  Just allow and be present, and watch it all unfold.  "Famous last words" by Fa Xin.

Hi Brian.  Welcome.

 

What others told you what life is were the things that were important to them.  You are not them.

 

I guess you are going to have to find your own meaning.  Good luck with that.

Thank you all so much for your kind and inspiring words.

 

So there also exists an unconditioned mind?

 

And what exactly is condition (in regards to life,

How does 100% living energy end up confined in a concept)?

 

With appreciation and curiosity.

Brian.
