There is no interpretation when we pay attention to our own feelings and awareness, as long as those are not framed into a belief system, which only gives greater weight to the “I.”

To discover our limits by going from one extreme into the other, is the basics of knowing about “us.” It is in that discovery when we may find out that our limit is not someone else’s.

Later on, we may become aware that a “limit now may not be tomorrow.”
Then we could assure someone that “we went over our limit. We conquered our limitations.”

I assure you, that it is someone else and not that known “you” who found a limit, who actually did not find a limit.

Confused? 🙂

That is a feature of words and language.

Mark is a decent competitive runner. His personal record for the 5 K is 15 minutes and 30 seconds.

That is his limit.
After a couple of years of training, Mark “improved” his time. Now he can run a 5 K under 15 minutes.

We believe that it is the same Mark “improving himself.”

I assure you that this is not the case.

Our awareness is static. Fixed in a label. The label in this case is “Mark.”
Through language we could make a story always referring back to that label: “Mark.”

Mark is this. Mark is that. Mark is a good runner. Mark is a bad runner. Mark is a decent runner (compared to “me.”)
Do we see how our perception is always static?

Do we realize that Mark’s body, mind and consciousness are always changing, evolving?

Therefore, how can I say that it is the same person?
That is the starting point to become aware of that which we call the “I.”

That “I” becomes the greatest limit there is, for if that “I” did not exist, where is the limit?

If that “I” did not exist, why do we need to find our limits through the “middle path”?

It would be completely unnecessary.

Because there is an “I” there are limits.
To find our limits is to find the extent of that “I.”

When someone says: “I don’t exist.”
Do we label that person as crazy?
Or perhaps, there is some intelligence in that perspective.

Therefore, Who is the “I” that will go to heaven?
Who is the “I” that will die?
Who is the “I” that separates?

When the above is no longer intellectual understanding, then we could perceive the Totality and in that realm, there are no beliefs.
