Good News! My brain/body discovered that it could set itself Totally Free of fear, anxiety, sorrow, despair, loneliness, shame, guilt, confusion, contradictions, addictions, irritations, triggers, vanity, envy, greed, jealousy, attachment, possessiveness, ill-will, hatred, cruelty, bias, prejudice, and all other mental/emotional disturbances.

Gosh help me with this because I’ce been sulking on this for a year and it’s screeing me up mentally. So do you think you should not do introspection about the self? Whenever I think about “me” I get crippling anxiety because I cant pinpoint who the “me” actually is. Am I the observer/feeling consciousness or am I the rational mind thinking this right now? If I am the rational mind, how come I can talk to myself in my head addressing me with “you?” as if the rational voice is coming from outside? It makes no sense. Nor does it fully feel like it’s me. If I am the feeling consciousness, then the rational mind is separate. Therefore I can’t even use the term “me” to describe me the consciousness, because the consciousness cant talk. It’s the mind doing the talking. It’s either the mind is saying “me” refering to the consciousness, or the mind saying “you” refering to itself. It’s all driving me insane and I don’t know how to cope with it.

I have been searching all my life for understanding of what you have just explained so clearly and so well. I have been seeking this sense.of inner freedom all my life.This is the enlightenment the Buddha has taught in his teachings, but you have explained this idea of freedom from suffering in far more depth and clarity.The first part of your video talking about there is no me looking out from the head there is just awareness.I have grappling for years trying to understand this way of seeing.Now thanks to you the penny has dropped I finally get it 😂.Also there is no such a thing as distance. Seeing things far away in the distance is another illusion.Much love to you Matt and thanks ❤❤❤

Sir, why do you stop creating new videos on this subject?

I find emotions and thoughts self reinforcing. If one is not in a great emotional space, does that first have to be rectified to prevent getting "sucked in"? I find my mind exerts a stronger pull on my awareness, when there are strong underlying emotions like sadness or anger.

Is there a link between this mindfulness and the Daoist concept of Wu Wei ?

Good man trying to help people 😊

It really is just a recognition that everything is already happening on its own. There is nothing that improves or changes really. Most people don’t understand this, even ones who say they do. Because it’s not anything to understand…it really is just the noticing that every experience is already happening on its own and there is no you or “self” doing anything. That’s all there is to it.

Love you brother ❤

Again thank you outstanding delivery sir!!!

Thank you absolutely the best explanation on this topic!!

Excellent 💜🙏

You are completely crazy!! You really are!!😨😨 You coach people?? You train people?? YOU COACH & TRAIN PEOPLE ON HOW THEY CAN LOSE THEMSELVES !!?!!🤬🤬 Because what you are talking about is a persons Soul! You are talking about our Soul and you are trying to convince other Human beings that their Soul doesnt exist!! And that is totally BULLSHIT, because we are all Souls,-including YOU! And you know what?? "unconditional happiness" is also bullshit,-it is not a normal term!🤦🤦🤦🤦 To be happy and happiness is a feeling. A person can choose to be happy and also choose to not be happy or not experience happiness. And sometimes the happy-feeling comes running in so fast that it is impossible to choose to not be happy/feel happiness because the feeling is so strong that we begin to laugh,- if we didnt laugh our body would start to bubble all over the place from being happy. But you are actually trying to convince your fellow Human beings to erase their sense of "Self"..,you are actually coaching your fellow Human beings in believing that their "Self" is an illusion..!?!! You are coaching people in how they can try to convince themselves that their Soul dosent exist..!!??!! 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 QUESTIONS: -do you really not know that a person's Soul (or "Self") and feelings are connected?? -how are they suppose to feel happiness when you have destroyed their ability to feel anything at all?? PS: unconditional Love do exist,❤️,but "unconditional happiness" is not a normal term and therefore do not exist.

This is Vipassana meditation.

We are animals 🤣. That's all. We are born to die. That's all. Socrates Lao Tzu Confucius Buddha all were born lived a life and died.

Gautama Buddha was a wonderful person. He was born, lived 80 years. He died. This Earth 🌎🌍 will merge in SUN 🌞. ONE SUN amongst the half BILLION stars 💫 called it Milky Way. There are 2 trillion galaxies exist in the universe.

Sir A name given to you, is you. Like GAUTAMA. Everything happens to that Gautama till it dies. 150 million years ago Dinosaur 🦖🦕 lived here. Bacteria 🦠 to Human beings are because of evolution 🧬 Dr Carl Sagan on videos and wickepedia UA-cam Dr Richard Dawkins-Sun ☀️🌞 and Earth 🌎🌍 SUNLIGHT IS THE SOURCE OF EVERYTHING

We are individualized consciousness in this world of the relativity and we need to be, otherwise we couldn`t make the choices and experiences we volunteered to come here for. Awareness assists us in understanding the larger picture.

12:35 The itch itself is annoying, but getting a good scratch on the itch feels great.

No idea what you’re talking about

Listening to Sam Harris and Jay Garfield discuss this has really impacted me. Jay Garfield's book "Losing Ourselves.." is so spot on. All the same ideas as here just a discussion presented step by step.

Here's the thing I don’t understand. Why are we here then if not to grow, progress, be uncomfortable, scratch those itches etc? Isn't part of our existence also to experience the fullness of our souls and contribute to the cosmic pool of awareness? That's what confuses me so much. How do we maintain that peace and acceptance of heaven on earth while still pushing ourselves to grow?

Thank you. It was very helpful.

💐

Tks Matt for making this message so practical. However it will still take some discipline and practice to arrive at some equilibrium on a daily basis. Lots of reconditioning. I heard you more than 2 years ago. However it is only today June 2024 I seem to get your teaching. Forever grateful 👍👏❤️

What is the speaker name???

Very ironic, actually... I though i would have to do the opposite to be happy and to be at peace. I thought i need to find "my true self" in order to be happy, but every human's true self is; That there is no true self. There is just experience and the experience of experiencing it.

17:00 So it's a vicious cycle, in which we mistake the ego, the alleged choice of our own self, for the solution, even though it's actually the root cause of our problem? In that analogy... When we have pain, we identify with that pain. If we identify with pain then we suffer. If we identify with anything, than we suffer, because we pick our poison. We, by nature, are happy. We are just raised not to be. We are thaught to believe ourselves to be something we're not and react with pain when we discover that those beliefs aren't true. But fail to realize that there was never actually anything in the first place. "We" are actually untouchable. That is; Unless we actively make ourselves vulnerable by installing some sort of belief into our minds and determine how we feel only through that belief and if we achieve it. Often even about *how* we achieve it. Or also by avoiding it, depending on context. Society, Friends, Family and even worse: Ourselves. ...We are pushing all possible things down on us and each other. All sorts of beliefs and opinions. "How it should be." "How we should be" and "who" we should be" Let alone who and how we should not be. We not only live in a world of lies, we ourselves, are those lies. Those Illusions of "self". Usually conglomerates of definitions. We are all just human beings. Just currently living and existing entities, only differing by what we can and can't do, what we do and do not have. We don't really have a self. We just have a body.

After my experience: Especially during peak performances in gaming: When you flow, you're in your body. When you don't, you're in your head.

The longest I have experienced this true presence was 10 days it’s funny what you said at the end about suffering I found during that time that I didn’t have to avoid suffering it seemed to run away from me. At the moment I’m back in anxiety and need to practice mindfulness again.

The best logical explanation of no-self or Ego death.

Allahu Akbar

Matt I’ve trying to be mindful for some months now. Reading Ajahn Chah , Thich Nhat Han. You make it so easy to understand, I thank you so much. Be well

What Buddhist traditions have you been to the most? And what practices helped you the most?

Do we gradually learn to disassociate from the mind, instead of identifying with it once it starts to 'make a mess' and struggle with what arises? As in - does the noticing itself teaches us to rest in awareness more and more? (Obviously, I'm projecting a future-oriented goal here :))

Hello! A question, if I may - disidentification with the thinking 'I' and the contents of the thought does not mean we cannot use thinking as a practical tool, correct? Like, to map out a plan of a lecture, or recall a list of groceries? I understand that the problem of 'to whom does the task of making groceries occur?' is not really a problem that would impede a necessary practical task, even though we might have discovered that there is no 'I' who thinks this thought? But still, there is a human 'I' to be taken care of, fed etc., correct? How to reconcile this? Convention vs. 'reality'?

Because a neuroscientist can't find a "me" there's no me?... As an artist in deep flow states and conscious of all these theories for over decades I can say: Yes, I do it. We don't disappear. We do it. And I feel sad for people talking like there's no me..

Why people around me physically present member of my tribe not interested in all these bit i can see here lot of people not only intwrested but know a lot about it

Now, i only made it 6 minutes in. Maybe it stops being absurd at some point. At 3:30 he says, "im not saying you dont exist... But this sensation of being a me is an illusion." To a person with a normal understanding of language, this reads like its deacribing a contradiction. If im being gracious, he could mean a physical husk of a body exists, and the internal sense of self is the illusion. Odd that only people who master a craft or sport are the ones used as examples of acheiving a flow-state. I dont think a person taps into a supernatural selflessness by mastering a craft. These example practitioners, probably, through great repeatition, can passively do things to allow them to focus on other specific tasks or fingering or running or w/e. This means, as we do math equations, or focus on any task, we cease focusing on ourselves, and that proves our self is an illusion? When we are just waking up, and our brains arent fully functional, as they progress towards awareness, and this is a moment we are aware of our lack of self? When people's brains are damaged they gain awareness of a lack of self? This is absurd. It conflates being aware of a lack of self with not being aware of self, and concludes since we can preoccupy our minds and ignore self, "the self is an illusion." Its conceptual nonsense. He said something like, how is our self in our mind, if we say we have a brain or we have a mind. Who is the thing that possesses the mind? Pointless. The english language doesnt care where consciousness occurs. We "possess a mind" because its a artifact of our language to say so. Its colloquial and ancient. Its related to why we treat hearts like they feel. "Put your heart in it." Conflating a colloquial phrase with a statement of truth is a really clumsy/foolish/fruitless thing to do if you're trying to teach about true things. I apprecite how much this all orbits around the "i think theredore i am" rule. "I think therefore i am" is the basis and bedrock of how can know anything. And this guy here, insists that, "i can not think about me, therefore i'm an illusion." Not only is it a non sequitur, it spits on the that golden rule.

While the individual, seemingly separate sensing self might not exist, this doesn't negate the possibility that the subjective experience of being aware might belong to a transcendent Self, an absolute "I" within which each human being's awareness is participating. The experience of intersubjective awareness, the sense of "we" or non-separation from another that we feel in intimate relations points to the possibility of individual awareness participating in a transcendent subjectivity within which all forms of being live and move and have their being.

If there’s no one to want or need anything then stop eating brother 😂 let me know how that goes

This guy is an idiot. I love MYSELF 😊

Seeing illusory nature of the self does not require finding the self, and seeing it as illusory, because that would be impossible, and I think that most people are stuck here. It is about seeing limitations that comes from assuming the self and its role. In other words, assuming the existence of self is an illusion, not the self itself. Self does not exist, so it's neither true nor illusory.

This is so awesome thank you

Individual self is an illusion. The self is one ❤

Such utter rubbish! If there is an 'awareness' of e.g. an itch, then there is something having this awareness. No? Call this awareness self, or consciousness, or whatever. No self, no awareness, no itch!

Thank you for this.❤

I liked how clear and simple your articulati9n is but attuning to the true self here and there is different than awakening aka recognition of the true self where it's no longer experiences here and there but fully living with that recognition every moment. That's the awakening as our birthright. The practices are stepping stones not the ultimate goal.

Great meditation practice

Thank you for brilliant insight
