Pain Is An Illusion

What is this experience?

Who named this experience “my life”? Who created it? God? Who and where is God then? Well the one who calls it “my life” must be the creator of “my life”. Notice how you always at the epicenter of every experience. You cannot prove that experiences exist without you first being aware of them, even if someone told you it happened in the past, you experienced it in the present via them telling you. Now, what about these other people then? Who created them? Well you tell me, who are they without their bodies and minds, and who are you without your body and mind? Now there is no creation and only ONE ☝️ who was pretending to be many via appearance.

Yes I’m also hitting myself with sticks when I play the drums 😬

So if everything is brahman, and you’re also brahman, does that mean every time you eat, you are actually just eating yourself?

Heyy, I recently found your blog and found your posts very helpful :) and I was wondering if you could help me with something

I’ve been trying to get rid of my attachment with the ego now for about two weeks and I feel like I’ve made good progress. I know there’s no trying required since we’re already “that”, but I’ve seen other bloggers say to do it until self becomes your natural state. I can now be a witness to the ego and look down on my body knowing that’s not me. Kinda like an out of body experience. so I see the body typing this and doubting while knowing that’s not me. Though, Whenever I’m the witness, I don’t feel peace, instead I still feel the doubt that the ego has. So I’m just wondering if I’m experiencing self when I witness the body but still feel the feeling of doubt.

Sorry if this was confusing but thanks in advance!!

You’re always experiencing Self regardless of whether you’re feeling peaceful or doubtful because every emotion is Self. With that being said, there’s nothing wrong with striving for inner peace but don’t get so caught up in it that it has the opposite effect.

What does identification means? How do I identify? Could you give some examples?

For example right now when you see memories you think “those are MY memories.” Instead, just see them as belonging to no one, because there is already no one here for them to belong to. The person you think you are is just another thought.

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

You are already invincible, invisible, indescribable, with no life, no personality, no thoughts, and no anxiety.

You see a body, thoughts arise and you call it “me” and “my thoughts” (because people told you it was you) but where is the “me” who is thinking this? What even is a “me”?

(Notice how thoughts cease when you search for the “me” 🫢)

You could say you are the brain but what is keeping the brain alive? There has to be something prior to neuronal activity. Be THAT and throw away the sense of “I” which is the root of all suffering.

I used to think “I” was the highest state, but problems can exist where there is an “I”. If there is no “I” there is no “I have __” or “I am __” that is the start of all trouble 🙄.

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.

Hey!

I'm really sorry deep into this that I got lost...

Sometimes I understand everything but then next moment I gave into those doubts 🙂...

But then next moment I read that I'm not even giving in, it's all appearance

So I'm letting these empty appearances doubt myself and always be dependent on others 😭

I don't want to

Don’t take this too seriously or look into it too much all you need to know is that you are Brahman and all “things” are illusions. Doubts, too. Take a break if you need to

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.

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”.
