Thank you! And first I was confused with where you were going with your response but then I started to understand. A memory is just another thought that has no inherent value. Another reminder to question the thinker who thinks there is a past since there is only the now. At least that is what I understood. LOL This was very helpful in resolving a question that seemed to be very sticky for me. 🙏
Your response to the 2nd question was also helpful because it was part of my question about the function of memories with regard to our visual experiences.
People need concepts in order to communicate but it's like you have a thorn in your foot ,you take another thorn to remove the thorn and afterwards you threw them both away .

Another good one! And great question from the viewers also. I like both style's of your pointing (you favorite and the guided ones) so I don't mind :) Also 1K subs, congrats to that...100K incoming :). Viewers if you have questens ask them now, after several K subs it will be difficult for David to respond :P.
I've heard Angelo talk about similar to what you say around feeling like you're up in your thought space self distracting from the now, I see it in myself and missus when we "practice"' (sorry for the shite term of practice) there's a visible/noticeable up in your headness compared to the clear in the now.... like a softer, more gentle, more peaceful looking human!! ❤❤
Yeah that's exactly what I mean about the "energetic signature". It's like becoming aware of what's happening there is like waking up out of a dream like state into "here". I talked a lot about this in my earlier videos how sometimes I would just notice it and the momentum of that illusion was stopped in the moment. Then when I would notice it again I was already in it 😂 like amnesia. "when did I start dreaming?". That momentum continued in some form albeit broken until "no self" where it actually just stops permanently. Then the belief in the dream can't happen anymore, it's just thought. But you get out of thought in a strange way where it's clear the thought is only appearing due to conditions, not due to an agent who is doing the thinking. So there's absolutely nowhere that self can hide in that, because what gave rise to the self in the first place was just infinite conditions interacting with each other, creating a bizarre illusion of something that clearly doesn't exist 😂
What's weird is that on them I could "see air" or space between things. It might be different if I did it now but I find it bizarre that it showed me an object that doesn't exist (distance). It just further confirms that whatever that experience is, in order to show me something that I can't usually percieve, it must be hyper-dimensional 😂
@difficult_to_describe I think the "air" you mention is the fabric that I keep taking about, if you really inspect it on heavy doses it makes up literally everytning/everything is made of it, it carries a weird set of geometric patterns and symbols that clearly repeat infinitely and never change.....that fabric is less prominent when I "sober practice" but is still what appears to knit reality together, with sound being no different just an audible fabric. Imagine this conversation with someone not interested in waking up or having never seen psychedelica 🤣🤣❤️🍄
It seems like everything appears based on our assumptions. When we assume that there’s a world out there (a house a car, etc), it appears. If we change our assumption, would that outside world change?
Yeah. You can't change what's there, but you can change what you make of it. I practiced like this. So there is a house with a car in front of it, rather than it being a house and a car, what's stopping the house and the car being it's own distinct object? Or the car being made up of many objects, the car having no inherit existence other than it's components. Or are the clouds objects in the blue sky? Or is the blue sky the object, broken up by the clouds? Where are the limits to what is an object and what is not? Dismantling the assumptions can be really fun 😄
In regards to what you were saying about referring back to something. When I look at what's actually happening here, it seems like the "knowingness" of experience suggests a subtle assumption that there must be someone who knows, but the knowingness is just a thought. When I investigate the substance of thought, it seems like there isn't multiple separate thoughts, but one thought-stream, and that "attention" is making it feel like separate thoughts. Does this make sense?
Also, it feels like the thought augmentation has a stronger hold with people and animals. It almost feels like effort is needed to see through it or drop it, so to speak.
Yeah man. It's getting more and more direct and that interpretative position is less and less relevant in face of the direct experience of "awareness". Awareness as the seen/heard/felt etc.. 🙂
At the moment among all the known awakened beings you resonate the most with me. Thank you for your effort. 🙏
Thank you! 🙏

Nice, I think I've heard something similar before. Great pointing. ❤️

"I do this. I do that."
The big black snake of selfishness
Has bitten you!
"I do nothing."
This is the nectar of faith,
So drink and be happy!
Know you are one,
Pure awareness.
With the fire of this conviction,
Burn down the forest of ignorance.
Free yourself from sorrow,
And be happy.
Be happy!
For you are joy, unbounded joy.
You are awareness itself.
Just as a coil of rope
Is mistaken for a snake,
So you are mistaken for the world.

no idea of what this is. Noticing and unknowing is here. Thank you.

I'd add: there's a way to lose the augmentation 🍄😉
