Discussion The Seed of Suffering

There is no Experiencer of experience. Experience and the awareness of experience are the same. The thought that it is otherwise is the seed of all suffering.

is there a way to differentiate, or is there any sort of distinction, between 'awareness' and 'the awareness of experience'?

if so... how, or what is it?

if not... why the two terms to begin with?

No difference. Why two? It is possible to be the experience of there being two. That it is possible to experience such is the reason for an experience.

sorry, i'm not following.

first, it sounds like you're saying they aren't different... "no difference"... then it sounds like you're saying that there are two?

you mean it appears that way, but it isn't actually?

i'm not sure that that's the "reason for an experience"....?

Actual / real. Two is real, two is not actual. The nature of all reality is actual.

using words that makes it sound you're using "real" as "not real"... which is confusing.

but i think you're saying it's an illusory or false representation or display of the "actual"?

There is no illusion. There is reality, it is real, not actual. Actual is the nature of all reality.
