《Some Musings》

About Trust:

There is no thing to trust. There is no one to have a trust. The word "trust" is an illusory concept made realistic by mind alone. Basically, "trust" == "mind", both are pure illusion. Only SELF alone is. There's no subject to trust, there's no object to be trusted. But if you want to play the game of trust, that's not a problem either. You can find infinite games to play.

On the flip side, is there a need to eradicate the feeling of "I" who wants to do this or that? No, any effort to suppress or remove the feeling of "I" will only strengthen the illusion of "I", making the "I" really a matter to matter or a problem to solve. NO! "I" is simply a natural feeling just like the wind in the air or the flow in the water or the rain in the sky. The feeling of "I" is not a problem. The problem is to take the "I" seriously, rendering this feeling of "I" as a real I. Illusion is not a problem. Taking illusion as true and real is a problem that can lead to suffering at mental level. There is no need to seek the state of "No I". Simply not taking the feeling of "I" seriously will automatically do the job, transcending all concepts.

Ego? there is no real ego, just a feeling that there is a "me". It's just a seeming. Let's leave it as is. Don't take this "me" too seriously. Effort for trying to suppress or deny this "me" is actually taking it real and equivalent to taking an illusion as real happening.

About Awakening:

"I" will never be awaken. Awakening means the realization that there is not really an "I". Expecting that "I will be awaken" is an illusion by itself.

Realization that "there's not really a me" does not preclude the feeling of "I". The feeling is ok as long as it's not taken seriously. Effort to remove or delete the feeling of "I" is an indication of misunderstanding. Let the feeling of whatever be whatever, never take any feeling as real and seriously. If one study so hard to remove illusion, that's an impossible task. Just like one can't remove dreaming a dream in the evening, you can't remove the natural feeling of "I". Effort to remove ego is exactly how the illusion of ego is strengthened. Don't think that by practicing spirituality will make ego go away. No, you simply shift the regular ego into a spiritual ego. Spiritual ego can be even more insidious. The only way out is no way out: Let it be as is. Ego? no problem! Non ego? no problem! because they are all the same THAT!

There is no need for way out because every where and every when is SELF alone.

THAT is too infinite to be expressed as any concept or idea. Infinity is not in terms of spacial dimensions or longevity of time. Infinity is really about not able to resolve any "thing" to a thing. That's infinite non-resolution.

About Paradox:

Effort may be needed to find out there is really no need for effort, quite a paradox! But the paradox is only a seeming problem to the seeking mind. Once seeing through the futility of mind then the paradox is no longer a paradox, it's no longer a "problem" to resolve. So, effort or no effort, paradox or no paradox, conflict or no conflict, who cares? There is simply no such "who" to even care about it. Of course, "caring about it" is not a problem either.

There is ONLY SEEMING effort, but no real effort by someone. No denying that at mental level there is a "one" that feels he has done effort. Just like in a dream the dreaming character feels that he was doing something, but actually there is no "him" and no "his doing", although in feeling texture there SEEMS to be a doing. So, what a nice paradox!

关于相信：

没有东西可以相信的。也没有“人”可以去相信。 “相信”一词是一个虚幻的概念，“相信”这个概念仅凭思想想象而做实的。基本上，“相信” ==“思想（心）”，两者都是纯粹的幻想。只有SELF孤在。没有发出“相信”的主观，没有被相信的对象。但是，如果您想玩相信游戏，那也不是问题。您可以找到无限的相信游戏玩。你可以一样一样一样“东西“相信下去，每样“东西”都看似是真实的，游戏就是这样玩的。

另一方面，是否有必要根除想要这样做的“我”的感觉？不需要，任何抑制或消除“我”的感觉的努力只会增强“我”的错觉，使“我”这个感觉真的无中生有地变成了要解决的问题了。没有！ “我”只是一种自然的感觉，就像空气中的风或水中的水流或天空中的雨水一样。感觉上的“我”不是问题。真正的问题是把“我”感觉当成是真的我了。幻觉不是问题。将幻觉视为真实或实在的才是一个问题，这样的当真可能导致精神上的痛苦。无需寻求“无我”的状态。只需不认真对待“我”的感觉，那么这种态度本身就会自动自发地导致完美了。

自我（EGO）？没有真正的个体分离的自我，只是有一种“我”的感觉。这个感觉只是一个貌似。让我们是怎样就怎样吧。不要太在意这个“我”感觉。试图压制或否认这个“我”感觉的努力实际上是将其视为真实，并且等同于将幻觉视为真实的发生。

关于觉醒：

“我”永远不会被觉醒。觉醒意味着发现实际上并没有一个“我”。期待“我会唤醒”本身就是一种幻想。

发现“没有一个真正的我”并不排除在感觉上有“我”的感觉。只要不认真对待就可以了。努力消除或删除“我”的感觉是一种误解的迹象。把感觉仅仅当成是感觉吧，切勿将任何感觉视为真实或实在的。如果你认真研究如何消除幻想，那将是不可能的任务。就像无法消除晚上做梦一样，您也无法消除有“我”这个自然感觉。消除“我”感觉的努力正是加强“我”幻觉的方式，适得其反。不要以为修行会使“我”感觉消失。不，您只是将常规的“我”感觉转变为精神上的“我”感觉。精神上“我”感觉，或称为宗教上的“我”，可能比普通的“我”感觉更加阴险，这个精神上的“我”的欲望就是“我要觉悟”，这个欲望和世俗的“我要致富”这样的欲望是没有本质差别的。唯一的出路就是发现没有出路，也不需要出路：保持原样，是怎样就是怎样。

不需要出路，因为每个地方和每个时间都是同一无二SELF，同一完美。

“我“？ EGO？没问题！“无我”？也没问题！因为它们都是一样的！是同一个无限的‘它’（THAT）。‘它’（THAT）实在太无限了，不可归纳于“我”或“无我”或“既有我也无我”。《无限》可不是大小上的无限，而是无限的无法确定意义上的无限。甚至连“无限”这个概念本身都无法确定是成立的，你只能“啊”的一声，还能说什么呢？

关于悖论：

起初，可能需要付出努力才能发现实际上并不需要付出任何努力，这个情况很自相矛盾！但是，矛盾对寻求者来说只是一个看似的问题。一旦看透了心灵的徒劳或空性，那么悖论就不再是悖论了，它不再是要解决的“问题”了。那么，努力或没有努力，悖论或没有悖论，冲突或没有冲突，还有“谁“在乎呢？根本没有这样的“谁”来关心这些经验中感觉上的差异。当然，如果你要“关心”这些，和这些看似的悖论玩游戏，也不是问题，可以无止境地玩下去。

只是看似好像有努力，而没有任何“人”作出真正的努力。无可否认，在心理层面上，有一个“人”觉得他在努力。这个情况就像在梦中，梦中的角色总是觉得自己在做某件事，但实际上没有“他”也没有“他在做”也没有“事情”，尽管在感觉质感方面看似都有，看似确实在做，看似确实有主观在努力，看似确实有客观的努力对象，但这些仅仅是《看似》而已，不是真的。所以，这是一个很好的悖论！享受悖论吧！
