So since theres no doer of any action, and all desires come from ego, how should we approach the “dreamboard”, and creating the life we want ?
“The ego” is the activity of thought. Thoughts about a second, separate self. Only via the believing of these thoughts does it seem an ego, second or separate self, exists. Only then does the concept of desire arise, alongside the dualistic concept that desire arises from - a separate self.
Legend has it that when a seeker seeking enlightenment would visit The Buddha, they would initially be turned away. Ostensibly & miraculously The Buddha would tell them with a straight face, ‘come back once you’ve relinquished desire’.
The seeker would of course inevitably return having realized they are now desiring to be without - desire. This would remain puzzling however, as the seeker has yet to question the subject-object thoughts about there being; a seeker & desire.
What would it be to fall asleep and dream, and in that dream, to seek to know the truth of - the dream? One might dream of a Buddha which points to the source of the dream. A good & diligent seeker would surely contemplate, realize and come to know the truth of the dreamer, having recognized desire, ego & seeker are like all dream-things; thoughts.
Upon this realization & knowing surely the excited seeker would return again to The Buddha, which would undoubtedly say, ‘come back when you’ve relinquished realizations & knowing’.
What would it be to love yourself so much,
there isn’t & truly never was one?
