the pidgeons must bother him a bit

BIG LOL!!!!!

THERE IS NO THINKER.

You think? I think that if there's no thinker then there's no thought either...

 

[????????]

But thoughts are all there is.

 

[psm]

But thoughts are all there is.

but you think about the thinker, therefor the thinker is.

THERE IS NO THINKER.

WRONG WHAT DOES THE BRAIN DO HMM???????????? DO YOU HAVE NO BRAIN??????? or do you use your brain for different things??? :weedman: :mrgreen:

"???????? wrote: ( in to big print ) THERE IS NO THINKER" .

Interesting thought . Why do you think that ?

"???????? wrote: ( in to big print ) THERE IS NO THINKER" .

Because it is true in an enlightenend brain ?? An enlightened brain wouldn't think, because it wouldn't have the need of thinking. (It would only have the need of thinking when it would have the need of thinking, obviously)

But also pointing out that "there is no thinker" might be a very good statement for redirecting the question of "the remaining tihinker" and make it a paradox, by denying the fact, that the thinker remains.

Is not saying the truth = denying the facts = paradox ???


Anyways.... i guess i'd rather request a further research on the statement "THERE IS NO THINKER".


Well....alright ... in combination with "But all there is is thoughts" it DOES make more sense.... Considering this i see millions of small minds embedded in the big mind.... Somehow that reminds me of an ant colony... or of any insect colony.... In fact it reminds me of the human colony on earth....


PEACE :weedman:

Interesting thoughts..........

Pure awareness is a good idea untill you meet something youve never experienced before , then you have to think . Life is a series of desisions . To make desisions we have to think if we want to survive in the long term .

yeah and your brain is your insurance for making the right decisions, but of course only if it is "programming and programmed" for making the "right" decisions...


i think not saying the truth must not be = denying the facts, because the question would be which facts you deny, by not saying "the truth". of course the question for "the truth" needs to be answered before in order of having clearness about that one at least....


the sad thing is that most times in the brain, there is not pure awareness present, but "confused" awareness. so the new answer is: FOR MOST PEOPLE THERE IS INDEED A THINKER.

i agree that life could be a series of decisions... i also would say that one's own life reflected in the own awareness would be nothing more than many many many many many many many etc. decisions....

I think the thinker thinks he thinks thinking needs to be thought over :?

 

[BrainEater]

that's what i was thinking as well.... :weedman:




if the in universe reality really was a giant brain or something of that sorts then it would be true, then all existence would be thoughts of the giant brain called universe.... even our brains would be thoughts....however the brains would be mass-sub-thought-creators .... :lol:


peace :weedman:

BrainEater, I think you got it...

but you think about the thinker, therefor the thinker is.

Yes, I think about the thinker. But who is it then that thinks about thinking about the thinker? Tell me.

A thinker does not exist as such thing as an ego does not exist. That's why if you want to do such thing as "killing your ego" you should be considered insane. That ego-death thread shouldn't be so long...

I've got another but this one I didn't write:

Though it seems that I know that I know, what I would like to see is the I that knows me, when I know that I know that I know.

If you understand this one then there's nothing more to be said.

I'm confused. I have the feeling I'm in this eternal regression therapy.


I *think* GOD got it.

 

[GOD]

" Tell me. "

Me .

Just meditate and look for the "I" and you will find it and know . Then word games will apear childish to you . Then you will realise that the person that asked the question only asked it because he didnt understand because they had never experienced his own "I" consciously .

I edited my last post a bit.

Hehe yes if you keep with it you realize it is an infinite loop. It makes me think about the way I see our consciousness as the product of a feedback loop going on in our brains.

I *think* GOD got it.

His answer and yours show you got it right away!
