𑣿 ˚࿔ this is a blog about non dualism and the experience of living as awareness and being one with all. here i share my reflections and teachings of nd/av thinkers i like. feel free to send asks, but read this first.

long time no see!

i just wanted to come back for a moment to say that everything is already here and that none of us has to suffer or achieve anything

we are already free from all the things we think we’ll have to carry forever

we don’t control the world, but we are it. observing everything without taking ownership of it show us that

we are irredeemably free 🌟

“i need to change/fix my life” -> “why does it need fixing? are these problems real? how do i know i’m struggling?”

[bunnybeyondtwo]

In relation to permanence, a constant state, certainty.

To address this there are two points.

1. There is nothing other than Heaven. Which is eternal.

That is permanent, constant, certain.

2. To involve perception at all removes any certainty or permanence. For perception, by its own limits, is uncertain and changing. You cannot perceive that which is unlimited from a view point that is limited.

In this way, certainty and permanence are complete.

But there is no permanent state of perceiving that.

Perception is an interpretation of Heaven, often thought to be Hell.

Because of the uncertain, inconsistent nature of perception, it is open to question.

The question mark removes the conviction. It shines light on it being an interpretation. Interpretation is not truth.

Perception is not knowledge.

We do not know.

The confusion of perception is stabilised through this unknowing. Peace is found in the freedom of unknowing because it is as close to certainty as perception can get.

Its not the question that is causing the suffering, it is the conviction. What is the statement? What do you believe to be true?

The question usually looks something like this: "How do i become rich?"

But the statement, the belief, the conviction usually looks something more like this:

"I need to become rich to feel safe."

"I need to become rich to prove myself worthy"

"I need to become rich because the economy is crashing."

"Becoming rich will fix all of my problems."

"I would be happier if i became rich."

It is this hidden conviction that makes it seem as though there is something to do, become or fix.

This is where the "?" begins.

And remember, we are only looking for undeniable truth and certainty here so that if found, we can continue being justified in our suffering.

Is it absolutely true that becoming rich will solve all of my problems? Can i know with complete certainty that being rich will make me feel safe? Do people have to become rich to be worthy?

These statements when left unquestioned, make it seem as though they are true and therefore real.

The gift of the "?" is that clarity is closer than we think.

Accounts like Nothingfrom don’t say that anything is possible, nor do they mention desires—what is the reason for this? Is it because they imply that it is clearly possible, so they don’t mention it? Because I asked a question once, and the answer seemed to suggest that desires aren’t possible—could you explain this?

You’re mistaken

Because it’s the question itself that implies a misperception of separation. That you need to get something, that you need to strive for a desire, when it’s all immediate. Their writing expression gets straight to the point. Again, this isn’t a shifting or manifesting space. It’s a space where we talk about actuality. You are free to do whatever you want, we are free to write however we want.

Really read these carefully

They also once said “ideas are unlimited”

However none of us are gonna say you can “fulfill desires yes” because theres nothing to fulfill, it’s immediate—no separation.

Hii

I find it interesting how you mentioned you noticed ‘glitches’ within reality which then made you question the actuality of it? At least I think haha.

Whereas for me I don’t recall any glitches 😭😭 I personally got involved in this after being so desperate for something I jumped from loa loass to nd. I think this is where I struggle as I quite literally don’t have any experience at least consciously. I’m not exactly sure what I’m asking, it’s just for the past 4 years of my life I’ve completely paused my life almost and honestly idk how much longer I can take living a life I don’t want.

I want to experience want I want, I want this happiness that these teachings imply.

a problem will only seem to exist for as long as you try to fix it. for as long as you try to fix your situation, you won't see yourself out of it. in the end, it's really about seeing that you are already free no matter what the situation is like, above all, there’s nothing happening and there’s no i going through anything the happiness and serenity that we talk about can only be found within, and it’s always available to your for it is you

Hello, I hope you’re doing well !!

I just recently discovered your blog and wanted to get some pointers from you if possible. So I know that we are not thoughts and we also don’t have any control over the thoughts that come up because we don’t get to choose them. So that leaves only the awareness that is aware of the thoughts. But for example, when someone says "ask yourself who am I" and the question comes up in the mind, who is the one doing that? Since there's no chooser of thoughts, no personal I, I'm confused about who's the one bringing this thought up in the mind. Because a thought cannot think and a body cannot either, but from reading more on non-dualism it’s mentioned that Self can’t either. Since awareness is the only thing that knows of the "instruction" is it the one making the thought pop up in the mind?

Thank you in advance 💕

hope you're doing great as well!

asking yourself questions like that is called self inquiry (or vichara), it's used to 'find' the source of thoughts/go back to the first thought that is the i. it comes from advaita vedanta

over all, i think that you are getting distracted trying to understand the mechanics of this. it might seem like an important thing for you to know, but it's not worthy chasing an answer. if thoughts are meaningless, why does it matter how and why they appear? you're the mind and the thoughts and everythung and nothing at the same time

the desire to understand it comes from a place of control and lack, which are illusions. you don't need to understand, you are

[bunnybeyondtwo]

I keep noticing but why this all feel so hard

what are you noticing, exactly?

[unknowable-known]

They say, ‘Seeing the truth doesn’t mean you can do whatever you like’; is that true?

Nope. Not in the way you think at least. This is partial and just another idea or perspective when it’s taken as all encompassing or literal.

Sometimes folks will say “there is no one that can do whatever they like and there is no like” —but this isn’t a negation of ideas, only pointing you to the fact that it’s all one. That actuality is beyond the definition of appearance.

I personally don’t resonate with this writing style, but understand why it’s said that way

Anyway, there is no determination of this or that. No opposing forces. Again, you are beyond any of this, beyond any definition.

Language is always limited and dualistic

"Don't do anything – no repetition of mantra, no repetition of the name of god just watch whatever the mind is doing. Don't disturb it, don't prevent it, don't repress it; don't do anything at all on your part. You just be a watcher, and the miracle of watching is meditation.." ~ OSHO

[bunnybeyondtwo]

Hello bunny, I hope you’re doing well. I’ve had this question on my mind for a long time and decided to inquire you since I’ve read your blogs and liked the way you thought, I too believe love is something very strong and overcomes almost everything. I’m a very anxious person and this had led me to wonder how other people with disorders and even disabilities where they can’t think for themselves are able to discover this topic (nondualism) by themselves, or even people who haven’t stumbled upon tumblr. Are we all supposed to discover our Self? Are there people who don’t need to discover it.. or is this from your post where everything is intercepted from the mind and that everything and everyone I see is a thought from the mind and that I shouldn’t focus on things like this. Or is there something I have misunderstood😭 I’m very sorry if I’m being rude. Thank you for your time🌸

hi! i hope you're doing great as well <3

i understand this curiosity, like how were we supposed to figure this out without learning from others? it's actually much easier than it might seem. if i think back, i can point out many situations where i noticed some 'glitchs' in reality's net (in a sense of it not being what it seemed to be), even if i didn't care about it back then. i'd say it's an open secret, you will see if you pay some attention

but as you said, there is no other person, even the bloggers you look up to ask for help. in the end, it's always you imagining a story, dreaming a dream
