Anyway awareness is not about I know this or that . When we are at our very most peaceful we are only awareness.
I thought you'd last til Thursday.

No this isn't a search for the truth . It's about letting go of the search . I just wondered if anyone had a similar experience or insight .
In asking if anyone else has let go of the search, isnt that like a whole new search?
Maybe so, but I'm still going to read the operator's manual before I operate power equipment.

That's true .
Interesting too. Do we need to be taught how to live? Happily I mean .

Why do you want peace of mind? Are you lazy? A coward? Do you have an inferiority complex? We all struggle to give meaning to our life and you abdicate. At least write than your current state of conclusions together as an intermediate conclusion.
It could go for example like this :
For the universe to be created, there had to be something that created it that was also created. So there can not have been the first creation, so it always existed and we need to forget about the start and the end of things.
Things are changing and do not remain the same, but since they have always existed, since always, we would have reached our point omega if there was one. So the universe does not have an ultimate state that it has to reach, because we would have reached it by now.
etc..
You are free to continue if this is easier for you.

KF I love that . Thank you .
That's the only insight I've got though .
Maybe you reach that place when you're mindful long enough .
You see that peace comes through not searching .
That music is the space between the notes .

Rocko why?
Well I guess ultimately you see that it's the agitation that's stopping you from just being the universe , experiencing life . You let go and you are at one .

We are animals, but developed because of our collaboration and our inquisitive minds. The animal part in us just wants to survive. The human part searches for meaning. Out of all forms of existense that we know of, the human form is the most attractive. Better than a tree, rock, car, water, fish, donkey,..who are indeed not searching for meaning.

I actually like that Joseph.
I do feel I'm returning to being childlike again . Just accepting life for what it is .

Rocks.
For what ? What's the value of progress ? To live right.
The way to live is not to try to understand things but only to notice reality. Just be .
Our minds trick us into believing there is a problem. There is no problem

I think what happened with me was that I observed my consciousness. So much so that finally I saw that actually I didn't have to find the truth to find peace I just had to stop looking .
It's not that I'm not open . I'm interested in everything the would has to show me .
Like awareness you know . Just consciousness. I think somewhat ironically our most evolved state is our most simple state .
Just noticing what is .
You don't have to be smart and you don't have to be knowledgeable.
You can just well be free .

I've found that actually peace comes not through finding the truth but through not looking for it .
Maybe one day the truth will be clear to me and maybe one day it won't .
I've realised though we don't need knowledge to find peace . We just need to let go .
