Step 2: Search your brain for the "I" based on the description given above and the features described. Step 3: Keep searching until you notice that your "I" has disappeared. Notice the first line says "feeling yourself out subjectively". If anyone could clarify what he means please do so.
Here, Richard describes the "seeing" of the "I" as it is "That", or perhaps the source of all gods and imagination. Seer = seen. Taken from: http://www.actualfreedom.com.au/richard/listdcorrespondence/listd11.htm#15Jun13
The goal of this thread is to make your 'I' disappear from your brain. I am not sure if the feeler or exister has to die, but it requires that one discovers one's essence to reach the goal of freedom from the human condition which brings forth happiness and tremendous confidence.
I hate to state the obvious, but a passive awakening is blissful, and retention of humanity pervades without excessive laughter as a medication. By far beats being awakened through pain and suffering.
Yes, obviously. As I am currently in a partial state of Nirvana/ enlightenment, I can speak as a partial authority on the subject. It is freedom from pain and suffering and once you are in that state you can make anybody's day.
Freedom from pain. Really? Make anyone's day. Is that all? I don't want my day made. I want enough money to have a decent lifestyle. Stuff like that. I don't want an ego lobotomy. I'm quite content to be me.
Will ridding myself of my "I" help with my hangover, because I have a killer migraine that needs to go off and die.
In the above description of the is extremely useful to achieving parinirvana or vipassana consciousness where "nothing dirty can get in" since everything dirty is caused by the illusory 'I' identity. It is the key. To achieve Nirvana simply use the above description as a means of locating the 'I' in the brain as the one thing that causes imperfection or dirtiness.
