Hi Ko! I've been reading your posts and I really like the examples and analogies you make! I have a question about the tea analogy.
I understand your example of "I want tea, I make tea, I have tea." but I get confused when it comes to applying that knowledge with other things. I want "tea" (insert random desire here), then I make tea (I get random desire? how?), then I have tea.
The part in red is what confuses me. When it comes to the "make tea" part, I don't know how to apply that to whatever I'm trying to do. Replace tea with money, love, health, objects whatever it is, how do I go on with that part? Aside from the fact that I'm aware of it, I don't see it sense wise.
And when it comes to the senses, while I understand how they aren't real and we must go beyond, how does one ever experience various "dreams" or fictional lives if they don't experience it with the senses like how they experience this current dream life where they're seemingly reading this right now?
First, there are no objects, you just think there are.
Second, "i don't see it sense wise"
now here is the thing. What's prior to senses?
Do you REALLY experience what we call "life" purely with your senses or with the "AWARENESS" of them?
How can you read what i'm typing here?
-> you might say "i'm seeing it".
Go deeper. How do you know you are seeing it?
-> ... ?
Prior to what we call our "senses" is "THAT".
"IT" is the very foundation of "Everything".
Without understanding that senses stem from "THAT", you will undeniably keep running around saying "why can't i experience it with my senses" "i am aware of it but i still can't experience it" etc etc
Once you are "aware" of xyz , so it is.
"THAT" is "experiencing" "THAT"
Focusing on illusory senses is senseless and will not get you anywhere
Watch this by "YourHigherSelf" on Youtube
So I watched the Swami Sarvapriyananda’s video you told about in an ask and iv read a few texts as well from Nisargadatta Maharaj.
I haven’t (yet) found any guru talking about deliberately modifying the dream/illusory life as people here on tumblr or even you told about your “manifestations” (for lack of a better term)…
any suggestions for text or video from some AV guru around this?
Btw thank you so much you are all so KIND!♥️
nobody talks about "modifying" the "dream" because you ARE the "dream". Many of you don't deeply understand what that means:
You are "THAT"
What appears is "THAT"
When "you" are "aware" of something else, it is 'made of' "THAT" -> What "THAT" "imagined" is "THAT"
What you are trying to "modify" is "THAT/YOU"
That's why everything is "instant". "THAT" stays "THAT". "Seeing" is done "instantly".
Without labels who are you?
It’s very simple to answer: Who are you? Nothing
Why ? Because all those labels are illusions anyway!! Even thoughts are fake , thoughts come and go everyday Yesterday you wanted to be a firefighter and today you want to be a doctor
Thoughts come and go but Awareness stays
That is the true you Your true nature!!
What is it that never changes ? AWARENESS/ THAT
Just like the great Beethoven said: why the fuck are you worried ?
Just like koda said : strip yourself like an onion and get to the core !! The core is Nothingness/ IS / THAT
Come on you can do it !!! Because you already are
the funniest thing is that you aren't even "Nothing".
You are "something" but "no thing" or "Nothingness" , " " 👁️
BE RESPONSIBLE
You guys don’t understand that you need to take responsibility and be accountable for your life !!!
You rely so much on external factors!!! Always like
Hey can we see “proof” or am I doing this “right” or my personal fucking favourite how to_ !!!!!!!!!
I cannot Wake you up that’s entirely up to you not me or other bloggers, I can give you POINTERS!!!
Not instructions , not methods!!! WAKE THE FUCK UP and stop identifying with this fake body ( person) You can think about self realisation or how it would “feel” like but 1000% the mind will never be able to comprehend awareness!!
Because THAT transcends the narratives of the mind. Don’t ever ask me how to _ because how to is pointless and limiting
The pointer is : strip yourself of all labels like an onion 🧅 and see what’s left.
Here is a pointer / Hint ( if you will) NOW do what you will with this pointer !!
I promise you for God’s sake !!! What you are looking for is what is looking!!! - ( I forgot who said this) STOP SEEKING!!!
You guys always say oh @infiniteko I want to be like you and what did you do? You are always comparing experiences to other people experiences , stop doing that .
The Self is god, consciousness, it’s true the self is all those things but it’s not YOU , because there is no YOU , don’t look at self as a new identity to grasp into self isn’t anything personal - YourHigherSelf
It’s not an achievement it’s something you already are
Self realisation is not important, when you think it’s personal you look at it as important when you see yourself as infinite it looses its importance - Being_is_IT
Now I wish I could make you realize, I wish I could tell you how but I can’t I can only show you the door but you have to walk through it
aja lost her temper here i see 🫣👁️
could not agree more, all i have to say is:
-> Whatever you think you're doing, whatever you think you're looking for, stop. Throw out logic, throw out reason, are you not sick and tired by now?
hello i would like to give a little experience. happened a few days ago. keep in mind that i had learned of ND in october 2023 (i was a big hater back then lol crazy how it helped me more than LOA ever did), and only began to take it serious in may.
i managed to “minishift” (in reality shifting terms) to my old dr. this was after plenty of hours doomscrolling and being worried of my supposed life in this world.
i began to experimentally visualize stuff not necessarily from this dr but randomly. and i could literally feel it, sense it which led me to the thought.
a thought that “this world is malleable like a dream..” which im sure helped before i tried this.
all i did was have an indifferent attitude,. if it happens, it happens. who gaf. and so i set an intention.
and immediately i was there. with it looking like my moodboards/what i imagined it to be.
surprisingly i wasn’t excited. all i felt was “i shifted, cool!” it was like peace. like it was just natural.
i came back because it was an old dr.
now the thing about this is i am not fully realized. and i know that the only reason why it worked was due to me simply not being attached to this old dr and its expectations. i have observed this happening with other “manifestations” (like my moms cancer scare, etc) my real goal is my dream life but im too attached and its hard to let go. i want this no attachment type shit forever
right now im trying to stick to the “i am that” book.
my question is how does one investigate like the book states.
Hello and thank you for sharing! Yes I've also found indifference to be key, it's allows one to let go and let it be. While still identifying with the character, the level of indifference possible depends on the limitations held in the mind such as attachments/aversions etc which can be deeply subconscious.
Here's something from the book Friendship of God by Neale Walsch that explains why:
Have intentions, but don't have expectations, and certainly don't have requirements. Do not become addicted to a particular result. Do not even prefer one. Elevate your Addictions to Preferences, and your Preferences to Acceptances. That is the way to peace. That is the way to mastery. "You can intend for something to happen without preferring it to. In fact, holding a Preference is an announcement to the universe that alternative outcomes (to what you intended) are possible. God doesn’t imagine such things, so God never has Preferences."
In other words, you can have a goal or desire (intention), but without being attached to the specific outcome (preference). You're open to whatever happens, rather than being stuck on one particular result. When you strongly prefer one outcome, you're actually acknowledging that other outcomes are possible too and that creates resistance. By having a preference, you’re subtly saying, “I want this result, but it might not happen,” which introduces doubt. God doesn’t see limitations or alternative possibilities. God just creates with pure intention, without any doubt or attachment to a specific result, because there’s no awareness of potential failure. So the key message is: not having preferences (just intending without attachment or expectation of outcomes) is more powerful, because it aligns you more with a state of certainty and flow, without the resistance that comes from fearing other possibilities.
Now onto your question of how to investigate. I know you want to stick to the I Am That book but for my own journey, I did not use a lot from his teachings including my practices as they didn't resonate with me (including his way of self-investigation) so my answer is going to come from what I do know.
I'll first briefly summarize what his way is though in case it helps?
What you see as false, dissolves. It is the very nature of illusion to dissolve on investigation. Investigate — that is all. You cannot destroy the false, for you are creating it all the time. Withdraw from it, ignore it, go beyond, and it will cease to be.
Basically from skimming the search results of the keyword 'investigate', his way is to investigate everything that you think is real, then see it as unreal and drop it by ignoring it and refusing to give it attention. This is similar to what 4dbarbie taught and is described in How to let go of Vanessa.
Something I want to add here is to not compare your journey to others, for everything including timing, experiences, progress and practices. What works for others, may not work well for you and vice versa. Part of this journey is finding what resonates for you. Don't try to force something to fit but find what already will fit perfectly. If you listen to your heart, it will tell you because it is your own Self guiding you. Don't be afraid to explore if what you've been doing no longer works for where you are now.
Anyway, part of my own journey was realizing that there were certain limitations/attachments/fears/trauma/conditioning etc that were so deeply ingrained that it didn't matter if it was real or unreal, I couldn't let go of them by simply ignoring them. Ignoring them didn't make them go away because reality was already given on a deeply subconscious level, it just kept them in the back of my subconscious but they were still operating in the background regardless. What resonated more for me was "What you resist, persists. What you look at disappears and ceases to hold its illusory form. You see it for what it Is. And what Is can always be changed. It is only what Is Not that cannot be changed. Therefore, to change the Isness, move into it. Do not resist it. Do not deny it." (this was taken from the Conversations with God books 1-3) This meant diving deeply into myself, directly looking at the causative thoughts of whatever limitations I had and seeing them as untrue or deciding to drop them so they finally dissolved. (Now I don't do this for every single negative or limiting thought that comes up, sometimes ignoring a thought is indeed the way to go, but I just go with the flow and do what feels right depending on the nature of the thought. I don't stick to one practice for absolutely everything)
And so I worked on them individually as Lester taught. It's also self-investigation into the mind but in a different way. I won't dive into it here because this response has already gotten quite long but I've addressed this before in other asks on my main blog and I'll link them here in case it helps your direction (just take whatever resonates for you): 1, 2, 3, 4
If it resonates, you could take a look at Lester's book The Keys to the Ultimate Freedom which discusses more deeply in detail on the how compared to what I covered in my answered asks: Especially Session 9: Mind over Matter, Session 16: Take Full Responsibility and Session 32: Realization by Dropping the Unconscious. You can get the book from Ada's google drive. Link is in the pinned post of @4dbarbie-archive
“Personal suffering stems from unconsciously internalizing, clinging or reacting to a ‘believed in’ idea/story (distorted perception of reality) strongly held in the mind. This prevents you from truly knowing who you are. You can experience pain in your life but you don’t have to ‘suffer’ the pain.”

I 🖤 meeeee ; 🖤 🐾
i guess you don’t answer anymore but i’m hoping you at least read this because it’s genuine and i feel like i have nowhere else to post this. i just want someone to hear me. ignore this if it’s too long. i want to thank you for your posts. they are the only writings that have truly resonated with me ever since i discovered the law, neville, states, being, whatever we call this thing. but i’ll be honest i’m giving up today. i discovered the ‘law of attraction’ in 2019 when i was 18 years old. it is now getting to the last quarter of 2024 and i am 23 where i’ve evolved in understanding to where i found ‘nondualism’. i went from law of attraction -> law of assumption & neville goddard -> robotic affirming -> mindset fixing & joe dispensa -> states & edward art -> nondualism. however… i have never manifested a single thing in my life. i used to be filled with anxiety when i said this. fearing these words would cause it to keep going on but i don’t even want to fear anymore. it’s just the truth. your posts taught me that i don’t have to fear my words anymore anyways. i’ve had a dream for a long time. i don’t believe i will ever reach this dream anymore. along with that dream i also just really wanted good for my family and i. you know the basics like financial freedom, happiness, mended relationships. but throughout everything i’ve learned i could never make it work and i’m just done. i guess i will return to living a normal life and just hoping i make it. i hope i find happiness or just.. anything. i’m just letting go of it all because i feel like things shouldn’t be this hard. even going to caleb’s channel and watching his recent ‘your manifestation isn’t taking long, you are’ video…. i’m just… exhausted. i just dont know how to do this and i don’t think i can take life anymore anyways. but yeah i just wanted to say thank you. even though i could never find success, you taught me who I Am. and i’ll forever be grateful for your wisdom even though you’re a bit younger than me. i hope you find continued success and live a happy life. sincerely
THIS IS JUST THE FIRST PART TO THE HUGE POST, PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME
After what felt like months away from tumblr I really dove into self-inquiry fully, and of course still am, and I promised you guys a mega post so here’s the initial information so far. There is more to come.
IM SORRY IF THERE ARE ERRORS IN GRAMMAR OR SMTH I WROTE THIS AT MANY DIFFERENT MOMENTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY!! FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS, ETC BUT PLS DONT ASK BY RESPONDING TO THIS POST, ITLL CAUSE SO MUCH SPAM ON THE FEED AND MY ASKS PAGE
Hello! Yes I have started looking back into my inbox (THERE ALLOT OF ASKS 😭😭🫶) but I absolutely plan on answering as many as possible, and because your post resonated with how I used to feel, I want to answer yours first.
So to begin with, It makes me so happy to know that what I’ve written has some kind of affect (that being positive). I can’t remember if I told you guys how old I was but I must have cus you seem to know 😭😭, yes I’m 19 we’re very close in age, this moment in life is when allot of us who figure out this stuff lean into it more because we realize how much of a leg up we have if we just “apply” the teachings this early on.
So first what I want to say to you is, no, your not giving up on a dream and neither are you going to live a normal life, I’ll make sure of that, this beautiful world that we step into gives us so much insight on what we inherently are. But I need to remind you and everyone else, this is not some big secret that has to be practiced, it’s a look at what we are and always will be. You have purpose and you deserve to be happy and enjoy a life that’s easy and fulfilling. I apologize in advance because this is going to be a pretty long post!! 🫶🫶
Let’s get rid of the labels and titles we’ve given these understandings as if they are for someone to learn and master. No one masters manifestation, no one will ever master manifestation and I truly don’t care for how many “success stories” they have, it doesn’t hold proving value of what they are (notice how I didn’t say who), we are not who’s, but that’s for later in the post.
The reason I’ve stepped away from the concept of manifesting is because it is inherently lack and separation based. No matter the teaching, they all seem to glorify the idea of getting and achieving which puts great pressure on success stories and all that rubbish. (Not me turning British) 😝😝, okay sorry, so yeah this also goes for nondualism, I don’t associate a title with what I learn, it’s not NonDualism it’s actually just self discovery in disguise of a teaching. But for this exact reason I don’t think to myself “I need to learn NonDualism better”, nononooooo I made this mistake wayyy to much due to the sole fact that I came in with the expectation that this would now teach me the secrets of manifesting. This is kind of the set up to more desire and lack, which is actually the opposite of the self-realization “journey”.
So, when you say you have never manifested anything in your life, I say this with incredible pleasure, that this is impossible, I know I know, before you start thinking to yourself that youve heard this before but I don’t think people go that in depth as to what that even means. So, your life and your problems, are not actually problems.
Self-realization is not the journey for the person to become consciousness, but to understand that you ARE consciousness to begin with. You does no reference a someone, but “ “.
This is going to be, quite a post so PLEASE hang in there. And I just want to add in, this is still not a seperate being trying to understand that it’s connected to conciousness, no, you as conciousness, infinite knowing, are so involved with the content that you appear as, you’ve tricked yourself into thinking that you are just 1 thing of the content. Let me use my first example.
We have given ourselves the greatest interpretation and key to knowing ourself, and that’s dreaming.
Every night, we sleep, HOORRAAYYYY, now let’s get into the details because this is where the magic happens and it clicks.
Take the moment before a dream appears, recognize that when the eyes are closed there’s this presence. Not the darkness, the presence. Something, but not a thing.
Stay here and forget the rest of the world exists for a moment. Now there is only this presence, it’s knowing, it’s being right? Now there’s no actual material but regardless, it is, something. This isn’t something out of this world it’s literally, you. From this, knowing or no-thingness, comes expressions, absolutely infinite potential, this is registered as a dream, but, before the dream in any way can be experienced, there always has to be some type of interpreter/lens, this comes in the form a person or better yet, senses. Of course, there’s nothing to the senses or the person but whatever it’s formulated from, which was that presence/knowing. The activity of this infinite potential that is the knowing, (you asleep) appears, only with the help of a pov/sight.
Nonetheless, it plays out, it plays stories of absolutely anything, for no reason at all, and as it does, we get lost to it, it starts to become real, and without even realizing it, it’s no longer a dream but something we’re experiencing, now you are the character in the dream and you naturally play out the dialogue and storyline and explore the fields, magic towers, and laugh and dance and make friends, and then you wake up.
When you wake up, you recognize “oh, nothing was actually happening”, now of course, when your the person in the dream it is very real, but even then, is it? Knowing what you know, there wasn’t actually a place with dialogue, no character of its own experience or life, no actual forests or fields and magic, no one actually laughing and dancing or friends, but simply the appearance of that. The illusion.
And it’s not that it’s only a formulation of you when you realize it is, but it always is, the dream doesn’t only become an illusion or “fake” when you wake up, it’s naturally just fake, REGARDLESS of how it seems to be. And regardless we sleep every night knowing that we’ll forget it’s a dream.
So I think you can see where I’m headed with this, I’m going to use the example Rupert Spira uses but twist it a bit.
You go to sleep in Australia and dream yourself in the streets of Paris, and you take on the identity of John, you don’t actually become John and experience the streets of Paris.
Now, John drinks coffee and he feels the sunlight warm his skin, sees the greenery, feels the wind, all of it. But despite the way it all seems the sunlight, the sensations that John has, is not actually real, and neither is John. John isn’t actually feeling anything, he doesn’t exist and there is no Paris being traveled. And it’s not John that realizes/awakens to the understanding that he’s fake and this is all a dream, it’s you, asleep in Australia that realizes it as you modulate/formulate as the streets of Paris, the coffee, and the greenery, and John, understand?
The activity of that presence, if you recall when we talked about closing your eyes, formulated as something that seemed so real, and that doesn’t give any reality to the dream itself, because there is no separating the knowing from the content known. Without the “space” for it to appear or form from, how on earth would there be the content? A bigger step forward is to realize that there isn’t even an actual dream occurring but it’s all the self knowing presence of, well, knowing. I want to add something very important before moving on.
Knowing does not happen for the purpose of pleasure, we naturally deconstruct false ideas like this as we go, but something you MUST understand about the nature of existence is, none of this is appearing for the purpose of ant experience, there isn’t actually an experience. No one is enjoying nor hating the illusion, it is simply an appearance.
In the same way that the aware/presence before the dream appears from it simply is, in this way, we are. It’s like saying the TV screen plays a movie and experiences it, or does it for the purpose of experience, no that’s silly, knowing has no inherent motive, it is, you (infinite knowing) don’t “happen” for a purpose, never mind happen at all, you are, and in this do you take form of something, your self aware nature of course knows the content of your own being, but that doesn’t mean the illusion can enjoy itself, or that you enjoy or experience the illusion, it’s just a plain appearance, and that’s it.
For example, when you close your eyes on this next demonstration, truly try to grasp the essence of what I’m trying to explain.
Bring from the nothingness/knowing when you close your eyes, a blue vase, know it in every aspect you can, incorporate every sense you can (even taste if your a little freaky 🫦🫦😭) and make it as present as possible. After you open your eyes I have a question for you. (I’m serious, do the damn practice it’ll help you) please take as much time you need to truly get in there (not too long I can’t wait all day)
okay hey, your back, now answer me this, from what did this immersive appearance take reality from? You and I know that there’s no actual vase despite its presence, no matter the vibrant or dull colors, no matter the feel, rough or glossy, its taste 🫦😭, its feel, etc. So what was the substance that formulated this? If you guessed knowing, your soooooo correct, if you didn’t it’s okay you get brownie points 🫶. But yes, now I need you to understand this verrrry clearly, the vase was not real!!!! Yet it appeared that way! This is AN ILLUSION SURPIRISISIEIEIEIEIEIEISISBWHH- yes. No matter how much you want to convince yourself and go back to the vase and its appearance and its feel or colors or any aspect of it, it wasn’t ACTUALLY happening and that means it didn’t take place for anyone or anywhere!!! All there was present was knowing, from knowing forms vase and every seemingly alternate way that it is known, feeling is a form of knowing, literally every sense is just a form of knowing. Every sense that was “used” to understand the vase was all just aspects and appearances of knowing, the color, the sounds, the taste, the feels, they didn’t formulate anywhere else, but nonetheless appeared as immersive and real because YOU BECAME FOCUSED ON THE CONTENT OF THE APPEARANCE RATHER THAN RECOGNIZE THAT IT WAS JUST APPEARANCE. And even though the content of the appearance you formed as became the focus, it still didn’t change the objective fact that there wasn’t someone actually there and experiencing it in any way.
The knowing in/on which appearances formulate is not something different than the appearance, there is nothing to the illusion but its reality, and its reality is knowing. In this way, the illusion couldn’t even be described as something real or taking place, as if it could exist apart from the source of it.
Knowing this is also knowing there is no such thing as the knowing OF, we never know of things or of experiences as if they are something seperate and exist seperatley from knowing itself, that’s literally impossible. Moving forward
You are not the person/character, and it’s not that you are a limited being and you have to wake up to the idea that you are infinite knowing, you have to realize that you were never something seperate, and that this is simply the modulation of your being, and it’s not a someone it’s more of a something.
Let’s starts stabilizing this.
To all of the experiences across centuries, theres one constant amongst the billions of people who’ve lived and are now and that is, I Am. We might not know for certain about anything else ever in this entire universe, and we might not even know who or what we are but for a fact we can say, yes, I am.
There’s no true word that can describe the infinite essence of being, so we use knowing or conciousness or god, all completely the same.
So, to every experience, without an ounce of doubt, there can be the claim, I am. This is knowing, and only from knowing comes the statement, because we must know we are in order to claim that we are. I think something that can capture this is a newborn, imagine yourself to be newly born, mere seconds I mean, eyes closed. You have no understand of anything, no thoughts, no memories, no identity, your pure experience is simply being/knowing, and I don’t mean the action of knowing, that’s not a real thing. Knowing is inherent, you don’t force it.
Going back to experiences. Any experience that is recognized, any seeing, and hearing, tasting touching, and of course feeling, is assumed to be the experience of the body and this is therefore falsely established as “me”, in doing so, we forget our true nature of freedom and limit our understanding and abilities to the limitations of the body.
I’m now going to help you realize the body is an interpreter, and not of a world that’s happening somewhere in time and space, but that the world is the interpretation/modulation/illusion/dream/appearance of our shared infinite being, AFTER being recognized through the interpretations, (sensations and perceptions). This also means that it’s in no way an actual measurement to what you fully are.
What experience is there to seeing? Better yet let me narrow it down, there is nothing to seeing as if there is someone doing the seeing. Seeing simply is. There’s no one to do it, just what is. There is sight, how is there an acknowledgment of the sight/seeing? There must be something to it that gives the understanding “oh I’m seeing this”. (Hint, it’s the same thing that let you know, that “I Am”). Knowing, yes, not knowing as an action, that’s not real, people don’t know, knowing is the essence of what we are (we are not people). But just wait for that. So all there is to sight is knowing, and I don’t think I have to do this but you can say the same about absolutely every other sense, because every single “experience” absolutely requires knowing. Without knowing, “experience” never is, I think we can all acknowledge that.
There is no such thing as the experience of being a human, Why are we deciding that this is what’s it’s like to be humans, we know humans we acknowledge humans but there is no such thing as being a human, in the same way that there’s no true way that there is something to being a fox or a bird or a rock, it’s only with labels are these ideas decided.
The only thing you’ll be able to muster up is memories, emotions, etc, but that doesn’t make it the inherent experience of being a human. Our first and only experience of what we are is knowing, and then knowing that we are, that’s it. In the same way that a babies first experience is not “I am a baby” or “I am a human”, rather it’s just knowing. If being human was our nature, that’s all we’d recognize, and from the very beginning. Our experience does not actually change from being/knowing, we simply forget that there is the knowing, and decide to focus on the body to be “me” or “human”.
You don’t need senses to know you are. Knowing is something unimaginable. Go ahead and try to find it by closing your eyes or even with them open. Can you grab or touch the knowing. Can you recognize its dimensions or what its appearance is? How old or young is it?
Do me a favor and find the edge where knowing starts and stops.
Let me know when you find it because you never will.
Even when you try, it’s only conciousness itself that searches for its own parameters.
By recognizing that your truly not the body, or this person you as knowing have pretended to become, the made up problems of the person disappear, well actually, you realize that there is no person that has problems, only an idea. Only the idea that I am someone and something is happening to me, I am something seperate and need saving. There isn’t actually a seperate self, the seperate self is the activity that you as knowing are, when you become involved with the content and forget your true nature. And what’s truly the main takeaway from this is that, even when it seems like you’ve lost it and now you have to restart and understand it all over again, you as knowing haven’t gone anywhere, your the one pretending to be something lost, and not on purpose, but because you involve yourself too heavily in the appearances without recognizing where they originate from.
From what we know so far, I hope in some way you’re able to recognize that there is no one doing manifestations and having success stories. You ARE the manifestation and it will NEVER be any other way, whether we recognize it or not, that’s the beauty. So no matter if we go on about this appearance of life and say we don’t get it and move on, you as conciousness will continue to play the roles, because there is no off switch to this.
I’m hope this has been able to start untying the blinds over your “eyes” and you’re starting to somewhat understand the truth of what you/we are. This is only the beginning and it’s only going to get more incredible and beautiful from here. But for now I’m shleeepy hehehe, I’ll talk to you soon, never ever give up on your dreams!!!! 🫶❤️❤️
lets talk about “being” and deciding if you actually want to study non dualism
“let yourself be” is not a statement that should fill you with anticipation. it’s not a statement that should leave you wondering how. if it does, then im afraid you don’t get non dualism.
manifesting is a process. even if you claim you manifest instantly the process still goes from lack to fulfillment. and that is fine. if you’re comfortable with that then please continue to follow loa. if you couldnt manifest with loa, nd is not a substitute. i see so many questions that are loa coded like youre trying to ask me about loa with non dualism terms. that isnt how any of this works.
i am not comfortable always living in desire. when i studied the law of assumption i manifested my desires but it just felt so… pointless? like no matter what i was settling for crumbs of things i didn’t even want in the first place. what i wanted was to be free.
that is what non dualism is. its spiritual awakening to help you manage the human condition as free as possible. we are all on this earth as “humans” so theres no getting around it. thats fine. instead of spending my short time here in desire, i just wanna be safe.
there IS no desiring or manifesting when you understand non dualism. by understanding non dualism you are freeing yourself from the human condition. this includes desiring, thoughts, fears, and beliefs.
you’re a being of consciousness occupying a human body. the only existing part is consciousness. with nd, you are simply retaking that role instead of giving it to desire, manifesting, tarot; astrology etc. those are not real, only you as consciousness is.
you can do the aforementioned just fine! but understand that its not non dualism. non dualism is not the only way to live it is just the most freeing way to live. so ask yourself: do you want to be free or do you want to live in desire?
“why not both” because that dissolves into what non dualism is about. you are consciousness meaning everything. as everything, what is there to desire? what is there to manifest? you either believe you are everything or you put yourself in a position to receive.
so again, if you want to go from a human being experiencing lack to a human being experiencing fulfillment then DO SO. its fine. its not wrong. i don’t care either way. but if you want that then leave non dualism alone. because you just wont get it thinking that way.
so now how do you be? by leaving the “world” as you “see” it alone. its not real. the only thing that could make it real is the observer you know, observing it as real. even if you dont want to follow nd, thats how it works.
“k but how do-“ please stop. youre not doing anything. you, as everything, do not have to. you are safe now everything is okay just live your life AND LET YOURSELF BE.

4dbarbie interview: All about Desires
4dkelly notes: I had fun making this in an interview style Q&A between 4dbarbie and Vanessa. I thought "how would 4dbarbie answer anon questions if she were still here today?". Spoiler alert, it wouldn't be much different to the questions anons asked her lol. Most answers are just directly extracted from her posts/answered asks but some have been adapted a bit or rearranged to make it flow better. I have added some relevant posts for further reading. I may or may not make more of these. This was mainly just for fun (but then it really evolved into an educational piece lol). My highlight key: key concepts are in pink, action points in purple, really important points in red
Vanessa: I really like this guy and want to manifest him. 😢 How do I do that?
4dbarbie: IMAGINE KNOWING ALL THIS AND STRESSING OVER A GUY?!?!? Unbelievable. Who's holding you at gun point to type this out to me??? 😧😧😧 I refuse to believe this is what this material is getting wasted on. I refuse to believe this is the understanding you guys have after I explained who you are in so many ways. Imagine liking someone who didn't text you back right after to tell you how amazing you are as well 🤮 what do you like about this nobody? You want to give me a heart attack? I tell you there is no one out there but you and instead of being free and loving yourself you... you give a crumb of your precious attention to this? I tell you you are life and you try to make life better through dates?
Vanessa: Okay but what about my other desires? I want them...
4dbarbie: Everything about Vanessa is meaningless. She has a life and if it's boring, who cares? Forget it. What do you need these stories for? Do you not understand they have reality because you give it to them? YOU! They have no standing on their own! The whole world is just your mere thought. The body exists because you are aware of it being! Only you have this power. Only you are. Why are you dreaming like this? Gosh, you break my heart. If Vanessa is hurting you why do you keep on choosing her?
Vanessa: Then what should I do? I still have things I desire despite knowing I cannot desire because I am not a person, ego, mind...
4dbarbie: You know it intellectually, but have you acted on it at all? You know yourself as Vanessa by acting like Vanessa, know yourself as your Self by acting like yourself. Desires and fears dissipate then. You have desires still because you never stopped thinking you're Vanessa. Investigate who Vanessa actually is :) Spoiler alert: it's a thought! Think something else and see what happens.
hello!
i have been following your instagram since the beginning of 2023. at first, i barely understood anything. ego made up its own ideas, did not know the terminology’s, nor read from any respected gurus. this changed back in summer, as i began reading from many gurus. i took notes, then everything started to piece together. i saw how there was no method to materialize, how nothing could be true but “i am”. it was truly a marvelous experience. i feel as if non-dualism has done more for the egos well being, than any other entity. thank you so much for your continuous explanations to people’s questions, and just posting daily reminders. i look forward to your posts both on here, and on instagram!
that being said, i do have a question but i fear it is from the ego. i am unsure if when in the act of deciding, if it was through ego or self, however it was decided many times that i would observe a new ego, with a whole different life. i understand this life is an illusion of Maya. it has never really existed, yet it is being observed through Brahmin. This has been a repeated cycle for a couple months now. Deciding to wake up as a different ego, and if not happening. There is nothing Atman could do wrong. which leads me to wonder why i am still observing the old ego? this is also the ego speaking, however observing anything else, or materializing is very simple. it is instantaneous. but this one thing is just like a fish that doesn’t swim. ego’s actions, nor thoughts don’t matter since they are unreal and observed- but then why the incompetence of one materialization? ego has been pondering this, but it goes way with the response of “neti, neti.” i would greatly appreciate your feedback, thank you for all you do.
tashi!🕉️
i've always liked "neti, neti" = "not this, not that" or མེད་རང་རྟག་མེད (med rang rtag med) in tibetan because no matter what descriptions you read of your "SELF", it is nowhere near the actual Truth. If I say you're "awareness" , it is not true, your beyond that label. You're not this "awareness", you're not that "Self". You're nothing but also something; no-thing but even then, "you" can never ever be described in words.
Have you noticed that you jump between "this vs that" all the time? You say you "know" this is all Brahman but then you ask about the ego and why xyz isn't happening the way you want to. Then, you say you know you're not this, not that. You're contradicting yourself, it's a very easy trap!😄
"Ego" is only what you THINK you are. Fundamentally on a deeper level it has no existence of its own, no real reality. It is just a collection of thoughts. Thoughts are nothing, meaningless. What you call the "ego" is nothing.
If you forgot EVERYTHING you ever knew and lost all 5 senses, wouldn't you still have an effortless sense of existening?
You said: "this one thing is like a fish that doesn't swim", what made you come to this conclusion? Isn't All "THAT"? Where does the destinction between "hard" and "easy" come from? Aren't you imagining the concepts of hard vs. easy?
"Deciding to wake up as a different ego" How do you expect to wake up as something that fundamentally does not exist? Would it make sense to you if the ocean wished to wake up as a wave? Does a wave truly exist on its own or is it an illusory form the ocean takes on? What are both made of?💧
It sounds confusing because there is no other way to put it other than into limiting words but please read carefully 🙏🏻:
You think you are a physical person trying to get something physical. But for "THAT", all is "THAT". All is instantly "THAT" because "THAT" is all there is to begin with. Do you need any effort to be aware of the words you're reading right now or is it simply happening without anything to do? I'm NOT talking about understanding these words, i'm only talking about being aware of these words before anything else.
So it is with everything else. What you are "aware" of, Is. EVERY other interpretation is illusory. In order for you to come up with an interpretation, you must think imaginary thoughts first. Without thinking, is there anything to say against what you are aware of or is it simply happening now?
navigating as consciousness
okay so you already know that everything is consciousness and you are everything so consciousness is you. your awareness “generates” the world around you and this process doesn’t start UNTIL said awareness is there. so… then what now?
this should be the fun and exciting part! knowing and understanding that you are already everything that could ever possibly be is a freeing feeling. you’re not bound by any rules or stipulations. if you want this then you have it. why? because you want it!!
how do you approach your desires then? by removing any idea or any need to see circumstances as cause and effect. for example: “i want money” “well i have to get a job then wait for a paycheck-“ no no no. youre not just being aware of money you are being aware of WANTING money which causes you to be aware of a process. why waste your time with the process when you can just have it?
yes you will still get that money but you are putting your awareness on a process when you could just focus on what it is. it is the same and neither are wrong but once you’ve disciplined yourself into this way of life, naturally you will begin to get straight to the point.
i want you to try something. for a whole day whenever you think about non dualism, remind yourself of what it actually is telling you. think about how it applies to your every day life. think about how life changes based on your perceptions.
it is your “ego” that doesn’t understand. your ego is not real. theres no need to trouble yourself with unreal things. set yourself free 🫶
there are so many things in life we were conditioned to do or how to think that are just truly unnecessary. we have to act a certain way or behave a certain way. drop it and become in tune with yourself and discover a more favorable world around you.
awareness has no prejudice. it doesnt decide that what you physically experience is any more real than what you mentally experience, your EGO (a false sense of self) does. it makes that false claim as the false sense of self. the physical and mental are the same thing so they experience that same awareness!
nothing can hurt you if you don’t let it. nothing is above you nor can rise above you unless you let it. the common denominator being, it starts and stops with you 🫶

Do not demand any special or mystical type of experience.
by Being_is_IT / Twitter
Reader: This is why you don't need a peak/mystical experience to know the SELF.
BEINGIS: Exactly, you don't need any special or mystical type of experience. All you need is noticing whatever it is, the more boring it appears the better. The more mundane it may seem the better. Don't seek special experience. There may be very interesting experience showing up from moment to moment, but they are not caused by your seeking, they show up spontaneously. Please don't setup an expectation to demand special experience. You demand nothing. Then, Infinite Radiant Energy will spontaneously reveal its own secret to you. The secret is not necessary any describable experience, most of the time, the secret is reveal to you without any fanfare. You may not even be sure that you get to know anything, but you will know.
Not caused by your seeking.
Not caused by your seeking.
"It does seem like it takes times , I did this and that... You said there is no process, you said it's instant but..."
I don't know how many times this sentence needs to be said for you to understand without adding a "but" after your paraphrasing, but you can seek / practie whatever/ ask and ask, 1 minute or 50 years, nothing is caused by it. Irrelvannt. Knowing is instant anyway. It's still on you to keep depending on something you see as external of yourself or not. So see for yourself, or don't and keep seeking, it doesn't matter.
And of course that it's not a state of feeling to atteign etc... already said many times.
You need to understand there is nothing to reach and nohwere to go,if there is no seperation, everything is already THAT.
Not caused by your seeking.
The Infinite perceives the Infinite 🧡🍊
"When we experience the world, we simultaneously half perceive it and half create it. Let's imagine looking at white snow, and then looking at it through orange-tinted glasses. To illustrate, even if I don't look at the white snow, it's still white snow. But when I look at it through orange-tinted glasses, I'm both perceiving and creating at the same time. What I'm perceiving is the white snow, but I'm creating its orange appearance.
So what appears as orange snow is something I both perceive and create. What I'm perceiving is the reality—what's really there, the white snow. But what I'm creating is the way it appears through the lens that I see.
So, what do we perceive? Reality—the infinite " ". What do we create? Its appearance.
What are the orange glasses through which we perceive? Our thinking and perceiving—the lens through which we perceive reality. The conjunction of reality and the perceiving mechanism creates the appearance of the world. It does not create the world; the reality of the world exists independently of it being perceived. However, the appearance of the world depends upon the perceiving faculties. So what we experience in the world is the beautiful interaction between the infinite reality and our finite interpretation of it."
