“There’s someone in my head, but it’s not me.” - Pink Floyd “Je est un autre.” - Rimbaud “Consciousness does not really belong to the existence of man as an individual but rather to that in him which is community and herd. Consequently each of us, even with the best will to understand himself in as individual a way as possible, to ‘know himself,’ will nonetheless bring into his consciousness only what is not individual in him, his ’average,’ the perspective of the herd.” - Nietzsche
Dear John, Nietzsche made this error because he was an atheist and had not realized the Supreme Self. All he could reach was the collective ego consciousness. But I would not take him as your authority. There is more wisdom in Pink Floyd, if we understand that the mind parasite in the head is the ego itself, which must be destroyed by the Power of Presence. Rimbaud also recognized that the ego I is made up of introjections of other people (beginning with the parents, whose memory traces become superego voices). But to reach the Real I requires the heroic effort of getting out of the head and the me into the all-encompassing Real that pervades consciousness, but which can be attained only be abiding as the inmost Awareness. Blessings on that blissful attainment. Namaste, Shunyamurti
Dear Shunyamurti, Thank you for sharing with us your wisdom on meditation. The video made me question few things. How do I differentiate self realization and conclusion based on mind activities "analysis, problem solving, reasoning" from inspirations. I find that sometimes I receive an inspiration after contemplating and I always question if it is an inspiration or realization or conclusion. I'm also questioning if the incomplete liberation was intentional to bring the mind to the same level of the heart. Do you think there are four sources of thoughts. The first is from the body and it is usually based on past experiences or self lack. The second source is from the heart and it come as positive inspiration or information. The third is external negative or desire based but persistence of the thought are based on self lack. The fourth is external positive inspiration or information. Contemplating on my thoughts always helped me to identify my egoistic weaknesses but my goal is to maintain an absolute stillness all day long even at work. I know meditation helps but I can't meditate anymore and I'm not sure why. Thank you so much Much gratitude and love Yasmine
Dear Yasmine, It is true that the ego mind produces different kinds of thoughts. Some are mere labels for observations made by the senses. Some are urges, drives, and addictive processes. Others are cognitive and theoretical. Some are just habitual chatter. Some are emotions, most of which are based on projections and fantasies. The emotions also include anxiety, paranoia, and despair. Then there is another category, which could be called that of inspiration, download, or channeling. These come from a higher level of consciousness than the ego mind, but can often be filtered and contaminated by the ego’s wishful thinking. The highest and best approach is to go beyond the ego mind altogether through attaining the Silence of the Self. Then knowledge is spontaneous. All thought becomes obsolete, except for offering help to others. Never give up on meditation. Keep asking internally and wordlessly who is the Self to whom this feeling or thought appears. You will break through the plateau. Namaste, Shunyamurti
I would only add to the wonderful comment above, that perhaps you are BECOMING THE MEDITATION. Maybe you maintain a high level of consciousness and so you sort of stay in a medatative state ? Just observations. Wholeness 🙏
Hi there, I'm enamoured w your teachings, and now I'm worried that I may not get my ego under control in time for the change. What happens to people who keep trying but aren't getting to where they need to be?
Namaste. Wonderful, clarifying teaching. I am curious, when Shunyamurti is transmitting mahavakya, is he experiencing thoughts? Or, a more direct flow from the Self to language w/out the mind of language thought?
Wow im really impressed :D and I ;) my ego is very happy because my thoughts are sensing a congruence to the words of wisdom spoken by Shunymurti :) I wonder why i kept myself not immediatly searching for a video for a comprehensible explanation of meditation, when i found your channel, feeling also almost a year or more watching it with an increasing frequency :) (the reason may be a better understanding and current need for adequate and accurate answers) but now here i got it, So i really thank u all here and thank u again Shunyamurti. I just started watching Part Two and still got a couple of questions popped up during the first video, but there is one question which is bothering me for a longer time now and i got it again. Here it is: What to do about the concern of maybe creating karma /even bad one, when acting out "thinking" doing the right thing and tryin to good to the world and to others, or in other way having the fear of the consequence of my act may be a bad one, or as a result the opposite of my intention,, for there a certain balance is restored needed in our dual reatlity.? And the fear is not just about being confronted of getting a negative circumstance myself, but to others. ? I hope my question is comprehensible and i would be glad and really happy if you could give me an answer. Greetings from Austria, it may be recognizable the rather complicate verbal approach as a german nativespeaker :D Yeah well thank you and Namaste

Meditation itself should inform us that we DO INDEED hold the reigns to the kingdom of thought. If this we not the case, the willful act of meditation would be an impossibility. Insight resides in seeing that the ego itself doesn't control thought. (As it is, within itself, a mere pattern of thought; it has no sentience. ) The sentience, which gives rise to thinking, lies at the soul level, and then even further beyond to the Spirit. The degree to which we lack the ability to control our thinking, corresponds directly to the degree that the soul has lost connection with the human form. And this lack of connection, in the manifest realm, is a further reflection the that soul has lost connection to the Spirit in the higher realms.
How long do you recommend meditating for every day to reach liberation from the ego? And are you saying we are not suppose to spent that mediation time in silence, but in asking the question "who am I?" over and over to get past the ego?

as a thought i say .....matter is a flash reflection of any thought of the moment, A person image is a reflection of the thought consciousness that we have and all others around has too ,the thoughts is also the events and all thoughts are in the 4th dimension as their reflection makes the image of matter that we see as an illusion. Matter is not exist as you and everyone too NOT exist , space is not exist as it is a reflection of any possible thought can be from emptyness , matter is not exist as time have only a moment after the flash reflection of the thoughts of space . no one have the free willing to produse any thought just because you are not the produser of thoughs but god is and you are the god as all creatures is god, so god is one and everyone is one ,so i am is illusion ,we are i as god, god seeing through us ,ego mind can not realise this and ego is illusion ,the high right consciousness is from the hart and not from the mind :ego ,all thougts are multipule dimensional events of more and more dimensional 4,5,6...dimensions of thougts of the toughts withoud ending ,meditation is the path of reality to escape from illusion going to emtyness nothingness ,life is a dream ..so make it a nice dream and joy it having the art of silence mind .. etc...

Very true. The "I" concept of self has been recieved from the mother.
I have full control since 50 years my mind belongs to me
Wow this is a good one. 🏆
Perfect deconstruction! 👌🏻
Excellent ❤
I’m so glad you brought up the topic of where do thoughts originate and are they our own?
Amazing content. Parts 1 and 2 of this video are just a good instruction on meditation and self knowledge as it gets. Literally mindblowing.
Great discourse.
