254-Questions about questions- Buddhism in daily life

Questions about questions

Because we don't know what we are doing ......

I would like to share with you a circumstance that has been bothering me. Whenever I set my alarm clock, I wake up 5 (five) minutes before the alarm. I know from some friends and acquaintances that they feel the same way. If you don't feel the same way, you probably can't really relate to my thoughts.

This raises some questions for me: Do I have an internal clock? I am asleep, how can I wake myself up? Is there perhaps a subconscious that wakes me up? And if so, why does it know the time? And why do I need a clock during the day, if I seem to know the time?

QUESTIONS OVER QUESTIONS.

If you ask "enlightened people", the answer is clear and unanimous: You are not your body, your body is only your vehicle, your means of transportation.

Who or what am I then?

That, according to the answer, everyone must find for himself. If there would be a general answer for this question Buddha would have left us this surely, there is also no instruction manual for the "enlightenment".

So why do I always wake up exactly 5 minutes before the alarm clock?

Maybe you still know the movie with James Dean from 1955, ...... "for they know not what they do" .....? The movie is about a man who wanders through his life without any support and is searching for himself.

People have been searching for ages, who am I, what will the future bring, questions upon questions.

The journey to "enlightenment" can provide answers to these questions, "enlightenment" itself resolves everything.

Who or what awakens me, who am I? How do I get ahead here?

Have you ever asked yourself who you really are? I don't mean the role we all play every day that is second nature to us, but who we really are!
