"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

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

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.

hii!! so, i really understand nd! the only thing im stuck on is how to deal with intense emotions, because it messes the character up so much, like when "I" start feeling insecure, and worrying and it just feels so painful and distressing and yeah... any "tips" ? thx :)

Insecurities are caused by what we think other people will think of us, but that is all a creation of the mind. Remember that your insecurities and worries are only in the mind, not in reality. Come back to reality (which says nothing), come back to the present moment.

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!

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

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

Yeah but I don’t really get your explanation.. so rn you’re reading my answer but it’s not a person reading it’s just Brahman reading Brahman ??

Exactly, but “reading” is a concept

Yeah but flying is happening? Bc I saw a blogger say that we think it’s us who’s walking and talking but walking and talking is just happening no one’s doing it

I said “I’m not a person who’s flying or not flying.” It’s Brahman experiencing Brahman. Is Brahman flying or is it just being itself? Flying is an illusion. I’m not that blogger anyway so my interpretations will be different.

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?

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.

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.

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 💙

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.

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. 🫶🏼

Desire holds up the facade of separation and otherness. It is in fact Brahman desiring Brahman. You desiring you.

About obtainment…

You don’t 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 you’re 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 “wake up”? 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 don’t HAVE a shitty life or HAVE a heavenly life. No need to take ownership of anything you don’t want because you already don’t own 💩. You can say the body owns things if you want to but remember it’s just a storyline for your character to feel real.
