body has history and location (toward which attention is directed)
Matter and body ate never experienced; there's only the felt sense and perception; drop concepts and know this directly
Is open space involsed or imagined or created? Do I need to do anything to be open space?
Look at actions and reactions as happening in open space; so-called body is repeated reminders, contractions, and tracking
Cive attention to two examples of actions: inhabiting, believing
Actions and seactions are just compulions, habits, exertions
Don't believe that you're name-form, person, or mind
Name-form, person, or mind is suntained by busy actions and reactions

2026.01.10► [Q&A] 何处为家─不死境与临在/何處為家─不死境與臨在
The former attempts at scholastic reductionism toward "no-self" leads not to peace; where is the mind established?
Ud8.3; the idea of the Nectar State, the Deathless, Ajahn Dun's home
The beingness as substratum to all experience is the texture of all experiences; some may attempt at ascribing attributes to it, but eventually the attributes are subsumed; so the sense of self or sensations etc are all attributes, but can be used as doorways
Don't try to destroy the "root" of the sense of self
This beingness is the same in all the liberated ones, and is the only meaningful existence of reality
You are only the beingness, only exertions created the seeming appearance of separation
Pacify the mind so that it rests naturally in beingness, and all relationships between mind and beingness are dissolved-this is the path
These relationships are created by activities, including the search for, the desire to merge with, beingness
Though attributeless, when beingness subsumes the mind, the subjective experience is peace and completeness
