Is Self the One

[Fool]

are you the One?

or should we look for another?

or all created in the image of the One?

behold is it becoming with the cloud's of the mind? the still small voice of the Spirit?

are you even listening?

It's a little hard to answer that especially after a person gets acquainted with Carl Sagan's, "Pale Blue Dot".

I tend to think we are not the centerpiece of the universe.

but are we separate from it; except we choose to imagine, disconnect? like the mind, body disconnect?


hello, its me.

 

[ChristineM]

I am I

And here is the blue dot mentioned by @Nowhere Man

 

[MonkeyFire]

Use the middle way. The one is the all, and the all is in the one.

To answer your question. No there is no permanent self (self is an illusion)
The clouds(ego) that shadow the eyes is the reason why humans can not see the truth that the body is not the self. There is no true personality, everything is impermanence
So humans are not the ONE as you asked.

Only when attachment to self has been let go of can you see the true existence of beings.

Where did he claim the self was unchanging. Also becoming selfless does not destroy the the self

Where is the self when it has been let go of?
Is the body self?

Do you actually think becoming selfless is becoming mindless?

The mind will be there, but it will be silent.
Selfless means to understand that what is seen as self (body, views, pain, anger, jealousy) and so on is not a part of the self. nothing is permanent (body changing all the time) (mind changing all the time) Taste, feelings, mood is all impermanence, so not self

Impermenance will one day be gone. Things about nature are impermenant, but nature itself is eternal. If you opted to change forever there would be things and events you could never see.

The self is important, no one will save you but yourself, no one can no one may. You cant spell us with out the 'u.'

Christianity and Buddhist teaching is different on this part

Impermenance must end and take its keep. That's what impermenance is.

Impermanence means that all of conditioned existence, without exception, is "transient, evanescent, inconstant (Buddhist teaching)
Maybe Christianity see it different in their teaching.

You would go crazy and that's coming from a buddhist. Impermenance itself must end, not the other way around where Buddhist die and change remains.

Why crazy?

Why crazy?

You would never see the other end of it.
