LinkThere is simply everything arising as it does and being known as it is in the condition of consciousness. You are not at the edge or in the middle of it, you are identical to it
People who are habitually indirect tend to find themselves in relationships where they always feel somewhat frustrated and somewhat misunderstood. “It’s good, but something about it is dissatisfying. Something is missing.”
ali defines consciousness as the ability to use language to discern between pleasure and pain
easy way to understand the self is an illusion: the self is a process and the inly stable thing is the consciousness that witnesses that process
This is because people who are indirect don’t have much experience with their inner world making contact with the outer world. They sit and theorize instead of saying it out loud and seeing what happens.
Instead you say, “I’m just going to pay attention to what happens when I hang out with various people and iterate toward something that feels alive”
