Desire Holds Up The Facade Of Separation And Otherness. It Is In Fact Brahman Desiring Brahman. You Desiring

When you have a life, you have to do something with it.

When you are life, what do you have to do?

It is simply unfolding.

~ Mooji

The entire universe is just a thought. Your entire life is just a thought. The body is a thought. Only you are real, but you believe the thoughts are more real than yourself.

Yeah but flying is happening? Bc I saw a blogger say that we think it’s us who’s walking and talking but walking and talking is just happening no one’s doing it

I said “I’m not a person who’s flying or not flying.” It’s Brahman experiencing Brahman. Is Brahman flying or is it just being itself? Flying is an illusion. I’m not that blogger anyway so my interpretations will be different.

but what if things i wanna do are not possible in current physical illusion? for eg, i want to have an established business without the hassle of starting it etc.. that puts me in this weird cycle of wanting this “change” in illusion but

wanting means not having, and since we are THAT, everything already is

so im back to trying to know mySelf but then there is no trying and no seeking.. its all a very weird cycle..

please help

Seeking your Self is valid, because if you didn’t seek in the first place you wouldn’t even be here and you would just be like everyone else.

“And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”

- Matthew 7:7 KJV

Seeking is necessary until you find yourself. And Permanent identification with God is necessary to do the works of God, and you can do this by returning again and again until it becomes more “natural” than your human identification. You can’t be the same limited human as always and suddenly have the power to change things.

"You've been somebody long enough. You spent the first half of your life becoming somebody. Now you can work on becoming nobody, which is really somebody. For when you become nobody there is no tension, no pretense, no one trying to be anyone or anything. The natural state of the mind shines through unobstructed - and the natural state of the mind is pure love."

-Ram Dass

What do I mean when I say “illusion”?

I’m not saying you are hallucinating as if you were on drugs or you need to stop seeing things, it’s more like one of those drawings where you can see a rabbit or a duck, but in reality it’s just ink.

Helpful Swami Vivekananda quotes:

Memory Creates Misery.

The only reason you seem to be limited is because you believe you are. If your entire life everyone around you told you that you were a limitless omnipotent being you would have no limits right now. Without memory there is no doubt, no fear, and no desire. Right now, ask yourself “Who am I without my memories?” Without memories there is no “reference” for what you can and cannot do. If you shed all memories there’s no “Oh yeah I can’t perform miracles because I’ve never been able to or society told me I can’t.” But memories are like a mirage in the desert, you look closely and realize they aren’t real just like any other thought. Last night I was watching my mind freak out because of wanting survival of the body, it brought up past memories as a reference point as to why the body was ill, and projecting a future of running out of money to pay for medication. Then this morning I woke up feeling different, in a dreamlike state, and I got the epiphany that memory is the root of all limitations. Anyway I started to play around with the idea of having no memories, and the invisible chains seemed to fall away. When doubtful feelings come up I see that it’s just a feeling, and each moment is a new moment so there’s no need to rely on the past. The whole world is like a dream now and I can’t wait for you all to experience this.

Earlier I was feeling anxious while out in public and I silently asked myself “who is anxious?” and I realized no one was there to be anxious, and I felt calm. The rest of the time while I was out, the person blended into the background, it was just part of the scenery. Emotions may arise, but they are happening to no one. Events may arise, but they are happening to no one.

No reason to stop living life

Y’all just because you discovered ND doesn’t mean you have to stop “living your life” and do nothing. Go follow your dreams, you can have a career or go to college or be a scuba diver idc, you don’t have to spend all day trying to figure your Self out (a mistake I made) because you’re always your Self regardless of what you do or don’t do. Don’t be afraid to take risks and do whatever you’ve always wanted to do. We’re here for a reason (at least I believe that), let’s live a little 🤪

I think it’s easy to get into the doomer/nihilist mindset when you take anything too seriously lol
