Helpful Swami Vivekananda quotes:

What do I mean when I say “illusion”?

I’m not saying you are hallucinating as if you were on drugs or you need to stop seeing things, it’s more like one of those drawings where you can see a rabbit or a duck, but in reality it’s just ink.

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.

“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.

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.

~ Mooji

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.

Follow your Self

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 🤪✌️

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.

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.
