Reality Isn’t What You Think

Great answer Thusness,
Happy chinese new year to you.
Yes, the cycle repeats itself and the sense of self becomes more and more transparent as it becomes clearer and clearer this is all appearance.
Whatever is happening is happening but any interpretation of what is happening is coming from the mind and identification with this appears to wane with time.
Indeed the greatest joke of all may be that the concept of identity itself is just that, just a concept in the mind.
Whatever is happening, is happening to nobody.
It all just IS.

Since you r not a Buddhist, I will take out anything concerning "Emptiness".
Division of subject and object is merely an assumption.
Thus someone giving up and something to be given up is an illusion.
When self becomes more and more transparent,
Likewise phenomena become more and more luminous.
In thorough transparency all happening are pristinely and vividly clear.
Obviousness throughout, aliveness everywhere!
Happy Journey!
