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.

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.

You answered it very well

I got we don't need to realise since we are it already so why is this illusion so indulged in this illusory searching? 🤔

And all these doubts and the questions about " ", is nothing but " " it seems so hard to drop 🥲

I know it seems like you’re struggling but that’s because you’ve probably become obsessed with trying to drop something. I had to completely stop consuming ND content for like a month to stop being obsessed. Take a break and you’ll realize that you were always at the finish line and the journey was an illusion of the mind.

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

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.

Pain is an Illusion

I’m a drummer so last night I had tendonitis from drumming too much but I remembered that there is no one inside the body to experience tendonitis, and this morning the pain is gone. You are everything, being an individual inside the body is a delusion.

“Getting”Desires 🪐

Guys when you think about something and desire it you are creating 2 characters, one who is desiring and one who has something. The truth is one does not have to change to become the other even tho you make it seem like Character #1 wants to become Character #2 it’s just part of the play. You are always Character #2 because both the characters are in your mind. Don’t fall into the trap of becoming/getting. Only identify with Character #2 right now in your mind (the source of all creation) do not try to become them bc you are still being Character #1 by doing that.

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.

How to see through the illusion of memories? I can't seem to drop them

You don’t need to force them to go away, just don’t identify with them when you see them and they naturally fall away from your awareness. Identification is always a choice.
