SHACK 901 CONTENT

I am only living the 'content of my life'. This content is usually a set of thoughts often not original and have been passed down by conditioning. These are inculcated programmes that make up a perceived me. This sense of me is really a 'brain washed' version of me and can be exchanged by another set of inculcated programmes. These are then taken on board and become ostensibly my reality.

On the assumptions as above and in deep investigation as to the source and origin of these programmes I came to realise that these were mere concepts, beliefs and conjectures and that they are shifting sand dunes of an 'I' and the crest of the dune is an identification focus of the content beneath dune an analogy for the mind and its content. What are mere concepts become reality to the entrenched mind.

In reality the 'I' is only a set of programmes that are fleeting, impermanent and transparent and that the transparency becomes dense and form like by the solid repeated belief one really believes this and it becomes fixed and seemingly unshakeable and one becomes lost into the illusion of this dreamland . 

When I realised that these 'illusions' were interchangeable and could vary and modify the content in order to perpetuate the fading dream of reality of something that had no real substance and only appeared to have a foundation and stable balance of affairs and the fabric had glaring holes in it and as the pieces were being dismantled I came to realise all brain washing, programming, conditioning and inculcation were a mere overlay of something anent to the 'real self or me'.

The 'I' being just being a content of thought can be a shock and the ability to swap one set of programmes for another could not be who I am. So removing these programmes and just a few to live by, a simple life led me to the empty space of mind, the gap between thoughts, whereby because of its emptiness it remained and its quality seemed seamless and endless and peace was the experience experienced.
