What do you know?

What do you really know?
The chattering mind is constantly interpreting our experience. It is always adding information to it. But this obscures the underlying reality of each brand new moment, sparking new and fresh. A moment which has never occurred in the history of the cosmos. Real peace and freedom arise when we put this thinking mind down, and rest in the living reality of our own being, which is unified with all things.
This "not-knowing" is not stupidity, but deep wisdom.

We go to sleep but we don’t disconnect, sleep talking is the proof where still connected to our avatar, I am my mind, my soul, it gives me intuition, imagination and empathy, the conscious me is not the ego, deprogramming the association with all the constructs that doesn’t define who I am could leave you quiet undefined but liberating, I am not my language, I am not my nation, I am not my religion, I am not anything I have no control of, only a ego thinks he can claim the victory of his sport team off his couch 🤣✌️👍

as the buddhist khandas (5 aggregates) prove : there is no self, there is only impermanent sense stimulus and the brain/body processing and reacting to this stimulus.
