How did you used to keep reminding yourself that you're " ". How long did it take to reidentify with yourself from the character's perspective? Would love to hear your experience
It’s not a conscious reminder like an affirmation, it’s more like an automatic snap back into reality after remembering you are the consciousness projecting everything. Reidentification is instant as soon as you see what you are, it’s not a gradual process. The process is how long you can HOLD the identity. We will all eventually have full devotion to Self, it’s the ending of the game. I am at the phase where I still have a knee-jerk reaction of identifying with some thoughts but I have the permanent background of Self that I can always fall back into.
I think it’s way easier to fall into identification with the mind than the body, because it’s subtler and not something you can physically touch, but the “voice in your head” and images you get are still something you observe and not you. Thoughts should be treated as objects just like everything else you observe.
The entire world is in your mind which means whatever you consider “plausible” “possible” or “likely” happens. Once you start to defy the so-called rules of reality and return to your Self, everything will be considered possible to you.
Matthew 19:26 NIV:
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

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.
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.
If you were asked to describe, *just notice it* how will you describe it?
Well it isn’t something that you have to put effort in to notice because you see it every day. It is you, your surroundings, your thoughts, other people. The source of everything is everything you perceive right now and more. There isn’t anything specific you have to do to “realize” it because you can never not be it. If you want something to do though I suggest stop labeling things in your mind when you look at the world, and question all concepts. Thanks for the ask and I hope I answered it correctly 💙
Don’t rely on the teachings of others to change your life. Only you exist and only you can change your life by whatever means you see fit. All these different teachings are just pointing you back to yourself, that’s why I don’t care if I use dualistic language because I don’t follow Non Duality like the Bible I refuse to adhere to any concept 100%. I just take what I resonate with from different concepts (we live in a conceptual world it’s impossible to avoid) and leave the rest. If you don’t resonate with a teacher that doesn’t mean you’re doing something “wrong” just follow what feels right to you. In the beginning it’s easy to see seemingly enlightened people as your savior and if you just follow in their footsteps you will become enlightened too, but your idols are actually just a creation of your mind. Notice how people only put the people they don’t know on a pedestal 🤔. Okay bye 🤪✌️
Hey;)
If you don't mind I wanna know how this seemingly reality works ik all this is illusion but my awareness behind it is controlling it right even if it doesn't feel so?? Whatever I decide happens but how are we deciding those things that it seems like we have no control over
Well you give consciousness life because when the body is seemingly unconscious you don’t experience anything. You are aware OF things in your consciousness, awareness doesn’t control it. It is something beyond both awareness and consciousness that is in control, called Brahman or the Supreme Reality but it is actually you. You believed thoughts that say you’re not in control so now not being in control is what you expect. Like if you’re a lucid dreamer you expect to be in control of your lucid dreams and that’s why you are.
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
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 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. 🫶🏼
