Is everything really possible?
Impossible and possible are concepts kept alive by your imagination. I could say it’s impossible for me to fly or it’s possible, but neither is true because I’m not a person who’s flying or not flying.
Who invented the concept of flying, who is the person who wants to fly, and who made flying impossible? It’s all in the mind.
Your latest post was very eye-opening because since forever i have been a very possessive person with just about everything in my life: objects, people, even concepts. So to think that i own nothing and everything at the same time is very freeing but also very scary because of my extreme attachment to my things. I feel attached to my appearance, my circumstances, the stuff i own, everything. Sometimes, i catch myself wishing things were permanent and indestructible because just the thought of losing that attachment is dreadful. Now, i know thats not a me thing, i know everybody has at least a little bit of this possessiveness in them, but i really go to extremes. i have had multiple professionals tell me im way too attached and dependent on external things. And all this is to tell you that when i read your text, i really understood why im so persistent about not going within, and im very grateful that you posted it. Thank you, and sorry for rambling 😵💫
Omg I was just thinking of answering asks what a coincidence I finally got one! I get what you mean I used to be possessive too always trying to win people over and keep them around, desiring to be perfect physically and mentally and worrying what “other” people thought of me, which is funny now because if people are judging me it’s just them judging themselves. Don’t be hard on yourself if you still have the habit of desiring just remember separation doesn’t exist. 🫶🏼
Is everything possible when we know ourselves and is everything possible the way we want it to be? Can we experience anything we want to experience anything we want to experience?
And can we experience it any way we want and is everything instantaneous?
Is it possible that continuity does not exist in reality and we want it not to exist in appearance?
Yes and it is effortless when you remove the individual Self that is covering up the unlimited Self. Lose your sense of “I” “me” and “mine”.
Ngl I find ur pointers too simple and straight to point!! Thank yoy.
Ty I appreciate that. Non Dualism is not supposed to be complicated or vague at all
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.

Can I apply this to my appearance that I see seemingly? Will knowing that it's not my appearance can I seemingly experience a different one? Idk 😶
You wouldn’t ask this question if you knew the mind is an illusion. There is already no one here desiring and no one here to manifest. These bodies are empty. Have no desire to change because there is already nothing here to change, just a story in your head. All empty appearances. Once you recognize that the current story you’re telling yourself is fake, a new story may appear.
But right now your desire for a new appearance seems to be controlling you instead of you controlling it, let it go if you want to be free and unlimited.
"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

I stepped away from tumblr for a while to really seek my Self fully and put into practice what I knew because I was tired of constantly re-identifying with the body. You can’t experience it a few times and ruminate over it 10x more than you experience. It’s only simple when you experience, NOT when you think about it. You have to experience it as many times as you need until it becomes your permanent identification instead of getting swayed by the body/mind again. So anyway I started doing guided meditations to release emotions first. Now I don’t really feel the need to do a guided meditation I can just acknowledge and release an emotion as soon as it comes up. Now I am more so focused on abiding in Self, consistently returning home, because when you return to your Self all the emotions and thoughts leave, even if just for a split second. Now when I start getting invested in storylines I’ll automatically snap out of the hypnosis and it’ll go quiet lol. And even when my mind doesn’t automatically go silent, I can just consciously observe it being noisy. It’s funny when you step back and observe, you realize the mind is like a tape recorder, just looping the same thoughts again and again, usually about the past or the future. When you realize the thoughts are just an observation and you are the observer, it really sounds ridiculous, like a broken record. Remember the end goal is complete surrender and death of personal identity.
Your mental health is more important than trying to get all your desires in the physical world.
Your mental health is more important than trying to understand Non Duality.
Your mental health is more important than trying to kill the ego and become a Guru.
Your mental health is more important than trying to understand who created the universe and how you got here and what happens after the body dies.
Your mental health is more important than trying to become a Master Manifestor-Reality Shifter-Void Master-Demigod ™️ in the flesh.
All this trying is exhausting.
All you really want is inner peace. You assign people and objects to that inner peace but it’s always available to you through meditation. You can have every single crush and all the money in the world and still not be content, always getting bored and wanting more and more and more because you have no inner peace.
You yearn for the unconditional love and acceptance that only you can give yourself. There’s nothing wrong with loving people and loving the world, but first and foremost you want to love yourself and no one else can love you for you.
Happy Autumn 🍁 and be still.
Idk if y’all care but I want to share another experience. A vein in my hand was hurting for no reason and I look through the pain to find the source. Again there was no source and the pain dissipated. The same goes for emotional pain and thoughts, look for the source and they disappear.
