Uk I can hear a voice in the head, idk who is it so I keep going back and forth đ that's why I can seem to lose the sense of I...
How is the voice you if you are the one watching it? Are you the songs that play in your head too?
You donât own/have things. You are the screen on which the things appear, you give them life. Yeah the body appears to have things but even the body disappears and appears on the screen of consciousness so does it have things when youâre not conscious of it? Can you really HAVE a partner, a house, a car, or are you the screen on which they appear whenever you âwake upâ? Where is the you to have things? Are you really located inside the brain or is that a figment of your imagination? (You have to imagine yourself being inside the brain) What exactly can the screen of Consciousness want?
All concepts like getting, owning, having, and being things are of the mind. This goes for things you think you already have too, so you donât HAVE a shitty life or HAVE a heavenly life. No need to take ownership of anything you donât want because you already donât own đŠ. You can say the body owns things if you want to but remember itâs just a storyline for your character to feel real.
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 â˘ď¸ 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 itâs 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. Thereâs 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 đ and be still.
Yâall just because you discovered ND doesnât mean you have to stop âliving your lifeâ and do nothing. Go follow your dreams, you can have a career or go to college or be a scuba diver idc, you donât have to spend all day trying to figure your Self out (a mistake I made) because youâre always your Self regardless of what you do or donât do. Donât be afraid to take risks and do whatever youâve always wanted to do. Weâre here for a reason (at least I believe that), letâs live a little đ¤Ş
I think itâs easy to get into the doomer/nihilist mindset when you take anything too seriously lol

What does identification means? How do I identify? Could you give some examples?
For example right now when you see memories you think âthose are MY memories.â 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.
Idk if yâall 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.
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 âWho am I without my memories?â Without memories there is no âreferenceâ for what you can and cannot do. If you shed all memories thereâs no âOh yeah I canât perform miracles because Iâve never been able to or society told me I canât.â But memories are like a mirage in the desert, you look closely and realize they arenât 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 itâs just a feeling, and each moment is a new moment so thereâs no need to rely on the past. The whole world is like a dream now and I canât wait for you all to experience this.
Donât 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, thatâs why I donât care if I use dualistic language because I donât 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 itâs impossible to avoid) and leave the rest. If you donât resonate with a teacher that doesnât mean youâre doing something âwrongâ just follow what feels right to you. In the beginning itâs 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 donât know on a pedestal đ¤. Okay bye đ¤Şâď¸
"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

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 đ...
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 đ
I don't want to
Donât take this too seriously or look into it too much all you need to know is that you are Brahman and all âthingsâ are illusions. Doubts, too. Take a break if you need to
Earlier I was feeling anxious while out in public and I silently asked myself âwho is anxious?â 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.
