The Watcher

Image
  A companion who stays with me always, no matter the situation. It is a sweet, beautiful bond; everyone searches for a friend like this without realizing they already have one. You may be confused about who this is. It is none other than You—the “You” who observes yourself while you are smiling, crying, or even in anger. While you eat, it watches and experiences through you, yet it never feels hunger. While you drink, it experiences the sensation, yet it never grows thirsty. When I try to describe it, I feel as though it is not merely “inside.” It remains present, watching the body as if it were standing outside of it. It is formless, indivisible, and a “no-thing.” Even now, while I am writing and my mind is focused on processing information, I feel myself being observed. There is a silent watcher behind the eyes, witnessing every single action and listening to every word that arises within me. Because of this observer, I feel a sense of detachment from my emotions: Am I truly sa...

Part 2: The Layers of Universal Reality

Image
  Part 2: The Layers of Universal Reality Universal Reality also possesses its own layers, just like Personal Reality. Reality may feel subjective, yet it also contains shared universal qualities. For example: Sweetness is universal — anyone can identify something as sweet. But the percentage of sweetness felt is subjective. So Universal Reality provides the shared essence, while Personal Reality shapes the personal intensity of experience. 1. Observal Macro Reality This layer is similar to the Observal Reality in Personal Reality, but viewed from the external perspective. In Personal Reality, you interact with the environment — this is your Observal Reality. In Universal Reality, the environment interacting with you becomes the Observal Macro Reality. It includes all aspects of the external world that are clearly observable, measurable, and commonly agreed upon: The physical world Objects and structures Events and situations Social interactions Environmental changes This is the ma...

Conceptual Framework: The Layers of Reality

Image
    Part-1 Conceptual Framework: The Layers Reality  Introduction and Core Premise The relationship between observable reality and unseen reality suggests that reality itself is always questionable. This thought constantly runs in my mind, compelling me to observe myself. Through this observation, I’ve noticed something fascinating that I will now attempt to explain. Why do I say reality is always questionable? Because what we perceive as “real” depends entirely on who — or what — is perceiving it. Seeing color, for instance, is not the same for me as it is for a cat. So which perception is real — the cat’s or mine? Reality, then, appears to be species-oriented. Even among humans, reality shifts with age and experience. The world of a child differs from that of an adult, and that of an elder differs still. Even something as simple as a cup of tea tastes slightly different with every sip — reminding us that perception is never fixed. These subtle differences reveal a ...

The Mind: A Crazy, Running Horse 🐎

Image
  The Mind: A Crazy, Running Horse 🐎 The human mind has long been compared to restless forces of nature, but perhaps one of the most apt metaphors is that of a crazy, running horse . It moves swiftly, sometimes wildly, carrying us forward whether we choose to follow it or not. At times it drags us, at times it inspires us, and often we find ourselves both the rider and the spectator, marveling at its unpredictable course. ​ The Restless Nature of Thought ​Even in moments demanding full focus—like driving—the mind rarely rests solely on the present task. It constantly leaps into the future , imagining upcoming possibilities, rehearsing scenarios, and projecting expectations. This anticipation becomes a defining characteristic of human experience: the child looking forward to the holiday, the worker anticipating the break. ​The paradox is striking : the very voice that reminds us, "You are spending most of your time thinking about the future," is itself one more thought. I...

My exploration of life and death

Image
Introduction I was reading a post about an 80-year-old who was worried about his last day. This got me thinking: What is death, and what happens after it? While I was lost in thought, a mosquito landed on me, trying to drink my blood. I didn’t intend to kill it, but the sudden pain made me instinctively slap my hand. Luckily, it escaped. Pain, Life, and Awareness That moment of pain sparked a fascinating question: Is the pain in my hand or in my brain ? Actually, it’s in my awareness . But where is awareness? It’s invisible. If pain resides in awareness, where does life reside? Is it just the journey between birth and death? I believe life is an experience. Through this experience, I know about my brain, heart , and other organs. But what is life, truly? Why doesn’t a robot have life? Life has meaning, even if we consider something as simple as a battery having a “life.” How long does a battery’s life last? As long as it can provide a charge. Are we, like a battery, simply working for...
