[unknowable-known]

What do y'all mean knowingggggg I don't know anything 🥲 could it be compared to acceptance? Like I know/accept that I am this identity for example

You know you exist, you naturally and effortlessly know you are, is everything that seems to be independent from this? Not really.

Is the thought of “acceptance” independent from this?

Is a seeming identity independent from this?

Is the body independent from being known?

Is the entire seeming space around your house, your town, the county lines, your country, the planet, the solar system, the galaxy, the universe independent from being known? Without these labels what remains inherently? Infinite being. Nothing.

Rest in this knowing and then all is known

That’s why everything isn’t actual, there is no independence from it all being known, from nothing, from being…

I want to see the truth and I want all my desires to come true exactly as I want them to, right away, but I suppose there’s a chance they might not. My desires are different from everyone else’s; they might even be considered strange, but I want them anyway. Yet I suppose wanting them and making them come true is wrong anyway; once I see the truth, they might not come true after all. That’s why I’m so sad. You’ll probably skip this question anyway 😔 I was going to ask if these things are true.

Just see yourself as you are, that’s all

There are never actual positions, and there are no seeming positions with more reality than others

No desire, yes desire—not actual and no hierarchy. Both equal. You see?

Language will always imply subtle positions depending on the reader. That’s why we say to never trust any writer, see the common thread, see it for yourself

for clarification: when the chair disappears in the physical word but our attention is still on it in our Mind. is that when the chair disappears? or is it meant that when the whole idea of the chair disappears when not aware of it? both physically and mentally.

There is no separation, the apparent object exists solely as a momentary narrative.

I am very confused about how desire comes to being fulfilled from a non-dualistic perspective. I understand that to desire would be to have from that perspective because desire and it’s fulfillment wouldn’t be separate from each other but here is where my question comes in.

We don’t need to do anything to experience this desire in our physical world? For example, I’m desiring to move elsewhere. I understand to have this desire in the first place also means that it’s already been fulfilled, so that brings me peace and knowing this. However, would the physical adjust on its own for this to be an experience felt in the physical (like where I’m actually moving)? I hope this makes sense

the confusion comes from imagining awareness and physical experience as two separate things.

if awareness is all there is, then what you call the "physical world" is not outside of awareness waiting to catch up. it, too, appears within awareness.

when the desire to move arises, the desire itself is already appearing within awareness. the idea of the move, the experience of the move, and the seeming process between them are not separate from awareness.

many people imagine that fulfillment first exists in awareness and then somehow has to travel into the physical world. but there are not two worlds. there is only awareness appearing as all experience.

i see, thanks. so basically since the "Self" is the only truth there is, i just stay with it. no, more like, I already am it. So there's nothing to do. this mental activity that includes desires, worlds etc. are just all utterly false. no matter what seemingly comes or goes, the Self just is.

any seeming idea may appear, of course. suffering, enjoyment, shifting, whatever... but all of that is still mental activity. it doesn't affect me.

i would ask what determines what appearances appear, but i guess there's no answer. any answer would itself be a seeming idea. well anyway, if any idea is free to appear, then my desired ideas are free to appear as well, so maybe that's that.

once again, thanks for your thoughts.

Yeah! Perfectly said although I’d like to correct just a few things

Rather than utterly false, they are illusionary. If something can be anything can we say it is something definable? If I was formless but could shape-shift into any animal then can we say I am a dog or whatever I’ve shape-shifted into? It’s kind of like that, its not that those forms are utterly false they are just not true so keep that in mind when taking appearances into account, don’t deny them, they’re there , they seem to be there but really they’re not in any way true (bit of a mind fuck lol)

Also it’s way more than just mental activity ( I use that to help readers picture what I mean) even the concept of mental activity is an illusion within Self as well.

And it’s not your desires ,you couldnt have desires, you are the space into which the story of having desires appears on.

https://www.tumblr.com/divatakesontruth/818204800321716224/hii-genuine-question-cause-im-a-bit-confused-if?source=share Totally agreed..but that's the loop I can't get out of. If we seek the direct experience - it perpetuates 'seeking', if we wait for direct experience-the waiting continues Being aware of awareness is the so called "direct experience" but when does it actually unveil reality? While abiding in awareness doesn't take effort, it does take intent to go back to 'self' in each experience. Idk if I am explaining my confusion correctly but I've been in this loop for over 2 years now. Please help for once & for all!!

Why would you need to seek direct experience? It’s here and it’s now that’s the whole point of it, I’m telling you to come back to what you have never left, you don’t ‘seek’ direct experience you just BE , that’s directly experiencing the now, here, the IS.

There’s s nothing to seek because seeking takes away the fact that you’re directly experiencing, you’re taking away direct experience and making it seeking which is a different experience

It doesnt take any effort, the effort is a different experience you’re supposed to go back the natural state you’re not doing anything unless you start to ideate that you’re doing something

You have to stop making it a task just relax and be as you are righy now, its the easiest thing in the world

Without taking any stories into account, stop taking effort, seeking, hard , difficult, confusing. Stop taking these narratives and relax in the nothing that is revealed

(I used text to speech cause I was in my car when I got this ask)

[divatakesontruth]

Hii genuine question cause im a bit confused! If everything is just an equally "meaningless" appearance, why do you guys place so much value to that "direct experience"? so much so, that people say things like "you only need direct experience", "you clearly haven't had direct experience", etc. then wouldn't that mean that 'direct experience' would be seemingly experienced by a person? how so? and what would be the difference between intellectual and direct knowing?

Cause how else would one realize fully and earnestly that everything is meaningless? How else would one come to know the true extent of Self?

Intellectual understanding is just simply reading words and finding sense in it, but it doesn’t extend to how one begins to navigate the world upon realization and I know this for a fact due to the number of people who understand the words perfectly but haven’t truly seen for themselves why those words are even used in the way they are.

At the end of the day, the essence of this understanding is to unveil the truth of Reality and transcend illusion, that means everything has to be innately seen for illusion, a simple understanding of words and grammar is just not enough

Most of what I refer to I came to know from ‘experiencing’ the nature of Being. And that is how even the gurus from hundreds of years did as well, all of this was found out from investigating into ourselves and directly experiencing Self without the obstruction of the mind. If there was no need for direct experiencing then there would be no way to even share this understanding.

Direct experience allowed for words to be used to explain what is gathered from that direct experience to what people read and intellectually understand.

If i describe the taste of a delicious meal to you to the best of my ability in a way that you completely understand how the meal tastes, would you be completely satisfied with that? Would you not get curious? To experience that same taste for yourself rather than relying on what my experience has proffered?

It is the same thing, if I say abiding in Awareness (which is what direct experience is) unveils the unreal nature of suffering and pain , would the intellectual understanding of the words be enough for you? Would you say “oh okay! I guess pain and suffering isn’t real cause Dee said so, I’m not sure myself but it seems to make sense, of course i wouldn’t know unless I saw what she saw”. Not only would that intellectual understanding not hold in the face of another intellectual understanding of apparent pain and suffering but also it wouldn’t be enough to completely drop the belief in pain and suffering.

Direct experience is the transcendence of illusion (the entire point) without it, you would be deceiving yourself because intellectual understanding is itself an idea, while only the words used to define direct experience is an idea, what it points to is our actual nature without the obstruction of ideas.

Direct experience is the only way to truly see that there is no one here having direct experience, direct experience is another way to say Self abiding as Self.

[divatakesontruth]

can the experience and ideas of the experience be different?

watching a tv while knowing that I'm in the kitchen (seems impossible to me) but that's what I'm getting from most of nd posts, seems like loa packaged to me

i read so many posts that speak about shifting awareness to something else but isn't that an idea, how can awareness because shifted to anything

i cant shift awareness from A to B (im the knowing of A, B and shift from A to B)

i would like to know what you have to say on this

I don’t completely know what you’re asking but no there are only ideas/experiences. These are the same thing

You have to be keen to notice, it is impossible to separate the knowing of what is going on from what is going on because they both arise simultaneously in the same space, the separation comes from when we take ourselves to be real and other (from Self)

The narrative of watching tv and being in the kitchen is an idea that is present. Those two seemingly different situations are one single narrative (the narrative of doing both) if the narrative was either I am in the kitchen or I am watching tv then that IS the experience

Loa is a law, a change in mindset. This is Truth, complete utter exposure of the nature of Being. Loa is narrative, an idea within Self. This is the infinite radiant potential of Self

Anything can seemingly appear within Self , no limitations. It is utter freedom, even more free than the concept of ‘free’. Words cannot describe it, this can only be directly experienced from the no effort action of being yourself without labeling your experience. Just resting in your Being

The instance you begin to ideate the space of Being, experience seems to take place but the truth is all this is, is what it IS. Anything that can be something other than ISness is illusion

[divatakesontruth]

Can you go more into detail on what exactly your definition of "real" and "illusionary" is? I feel like i don't understand your posts correctly. What is the difference between something being real and being illusionary?

Speaking about physical pain for example, if the realization that it's not real does not change it's continuation then what makes it illusionary? Sure narratives are just made up so I could just discard the idea that physical pain is something bad and unpleasant. But thinking of it as unreal does not change the sensation? I think you mentioned that nonduality gives you a feeling of bliss but why prefer the sensation of bliss over the sensation of pain when there is no sensation anyways? Isn't the definition of things being unreal arbitrary at that point?

I notice there is this unrelenting tendency to complicate very simple words in my anons and sometimes it leaves me a bit confused on how to reply. Illusionary and real are words we’ve used our whole life, we’ve read them in books or articles, we’ve seen it used on television and heard others say it around us (much like any other word) and I am very sure you all know the definition of these words.

Illusion means illusion, something that seems to be there but in truth it is not , something that appears to exist but on further investigation it is revealed to not have any reality or effect. Can an illusion cause harm or joy? It can’t because it just purely does not exist.

If pain is illusion/unreal then what exactly is a continuation of it? Why would something that inherently doesn’t exist still seem to exist when it is known to be unreal? Except if you keep taking it as reality. It’s very straight forward , if something is not real then it is not real point blank period. The idea of still existing is instantly complete rubbish— the existence of it as an inconsequential idea , has absolutely no reality. I feel the need to stress this, ideas have no reality.

Please notice the contradiction in your statement “thinking of it as unreal doesn’t change its sensation” you are simply just saying it being unreal doesn’t take away the fact that it is real. I know this isn’t necessarily ‘easy’ to grasp simply because we like to hold onto negatives instead of choosing freedom, something about freedom seems scary

It is the realization that suffering was never , will never and is never an actual predicament.

The more you abide in Reality (Self) the more it becomes clear to you how insubstantial experience is, truly you will be mind blown (obviously I’m being dramatic) you will see that nothing has ever happened or touched You, the actual You, in Reality— yet you seem to conjure apparent existence at an instance

Hi diva! First of all thanks you so much for your helpful posts and all the efforts you are putting into answering the asks. Literally thank youu soooo muchhh mwah 😚🥹🫶🏻🫶🏻💗

My question is that what do you mean by 'idea' and 'narrative'. Like an idea is just defining the present moment. For example Like if I say "I'm writing this ask" i just defined it. But what about when I Don't define it. Like I have some headache issues. And when my head hurts and even if I just observe that and not define it, that's still here. I mean you will say that whatever i just said is just an empty idea. But really think about it. Tbh I didn't care about manifesting and changing reality. I'm into this stuff because I think about suffering as pain yk.

As I said in one of my very recent posts, ideas are not just mere definitions or something that says this is or that is happening. Ideas are the very seeming events, perceptions, concepts, feelings and emotions that we ‘experience’.

Another word we use is narrative because it encapsulates any present moment in the way we perceive it as happening, using your headache example, if there was no narrative of the headache then what exactly qualifies the experience as a headache? It takes constant noticing to see how the idea of something and the event or experience of it arise simultaneously and are one and the same.

But neither ideas nor narratives are grounded in any sort of reality because

1. These narratives that seem so real and unmovable change very often due to (or even spontaneously) the most basic reasons , if you could disprove or debunk a narrative right now whether it’s apparently true or false, the narrative is gone. This opens the space for questioning the legitimacy of all apparent narratives. Even now some people have completely transcended ideas from understanding that they hold no weight and so they no longer are limited by these narratives.

2. Secondly if you turned away or took attention off ideas , Theyre done and gone. Where would you find them again? If not from the deliberate act of taking them into account?

3. There are no actual separate events from the narrative of the events, this is a very important pointer so take your time to internalize it. The events suggested by narratives cannot be found externally from the narrative itself (I don’t even like separating them into two but I will for the sake of this pointet) for example the narrative “there is a white dog in front of me” is exactly the same as a white dog being in front of you because if you didn’t know of such narrative then how would you be able to conceptualize the apparent situation? Read that again and truly understand it. This is the nature of Self, it allows for anything to take up ‘space’ in seeming reality. It might sound like some sort of superpower but it is truly just the nature of reality since the moment you began conceptualizing ‘life’

So all these truly point to how ideas and narratives themselves aren’t real and never mattered

[i-amyou]

How do you collapse the idea that imagination and reality are separate? Because even if I tell myself I know that, there are times where I daydream a lot while knowing that I'm imagining. Am I not contradicting myself?? I'm sorry if it's a stupid question

It collapses on its own when you remember that the foundation for it all is the same, so there never was any duality or difference; just a thought which said that there was. Notice how everything arises and dissolves in the same space, effortlessly. Notice how the knowing of every experience remains the same, the substratum is the same, and every difference falls away effortlessly.

There's a pointer I have mentioned a lot of times already, but how do you experience anything in the dream? Who is the one experiencing? How do you see, hear, touch, talk? See for yourself! Notice. The more you rest in and as awareness, the more obvious it becomes~

Posts related to Nd but definitely not dismissing desires 🥺

There is nothing much to post about it, but I'll just say this;

Every experience is immediate. Right now is the only moment that ever was, ever will be. Manifestation is a non event because nothing was ever lacking, both are just ideas arising in the present. The deeper you investigate, the more you'll notice that you cannot tell what it is that you call "wanting", you cannot tell what it is that you call "fulfilment", you think you do but it's just that, a THOUGHT. An idea. And when you say that you "don't have" what you want, that's also just a thought that you're experiencing immediately. It's very difficult to talk about something that's completely experiential, but I hope I'm getting my point across. This is freedom already, you can experience all that you want right HERE. NOW. You decide whether it is what you call wanting, waiting, or something else :)) it's so simple, it's ridiculous really. Don't make it too hard, you are the source, infinitely experiencing itself, remember who you are <33

All is just effortlessly unfolding, label-less experiencing. You label it as something you don't want, you declare your imagination as something you DO WANT, immediately experiencing "lack" (an idea). There is no difference between imagination, dreaming, daydreaming, reality, Every experience is immediate and it's YOU who decide what to make of it, you decide what you experience :))

Here's a concise and much better said piece by NIF:

[divatakesontruth]

There is a tendency to regard these apparent narratives as these theoretically unreal stories but still present and concrete existences.

A lot of the times, people come to me complaining about their circumstances yet still affirming that they know these are actually just stories and asking me how to overcome them.

I am always left wondering how those two statements can co-exist. The truth is if you truly understand why experience itself is just a momentary idea then you cannot at all be bothered or affected by these stories—no matter what.

You must understand that the very idea or narrative is equal and the same thing as the seeming experience of it. The idea is not simply that thing that tells you this is what is happening but rather the entirety of the apparent experience is the idea of it.

We use the word ideas because just like how an idea isn’t generally grounded in fact and is a result of one’s personal conception so also are these narratives being seemingly experienced.

So that also means there are no internal or private ‘mental’ narratives as everything conceptual is the same as the experience of it because it is within Awareness/ Knowing.

The fact that separate from the idea of whatever experience (because both the idea and experience are the same) there can be no experience means that ideas of suffering or lack are not valid because they do not hold when those ideas are not present, this shows how ideas in themselves are not factual but rather solely due to the Knowing of it ‘by’ the Self.

Back to my original pointer , some might say “but dee, I know all this yet I still experience bad things” and to that I have to ask you what is it about these apparent narratives suggest that you are actually going through suffering? Can you find concrete fact separate from the idea itself? If you decided that this idea was not the case right now would you still find the suffering?

Life itself is extremely transient and that is because it is not real, it is just only Self and the apparent other experiences which in truth is just Self as well (the Self is imagining using the only thing that is;Self , that there are others)

[divatakesontruth]

dear, i understand everything is unreal, therefore it's like white noise. but i can't treat / feel it as unreal.

for example, a problem: i know it will arise again, and I'm still living this life yk, so despite knowing it as unreal. it doesn't make a difference to me because the thing will continue? So if I were to forget about it, I would worry because of the "future". when I try to " ", it feels peaceful, but very temporary. and then life bites me. its only for a moment before i return. idk how to make it be something lasting. (not to mean be " " all the time, i just mean to realize the unrealness of things, therefore acting as " ".)

I don't quite get it, because at the core of it I can't think of it as unreal, and that it's something not actively affecting me. I am living in the dream, it still feels like that?

I hope you understand what I'm trying to get at. i truly appreciate your patient replies. know that you are very much loved. 🩷

The issue with this entire ask is that you are still very rooted in this idea that you are a limited helpless human being when we have established that the only identity here is the Self; the Knowing

Problems are seeming to arise but your only true interaction or relation with these ‘problems’ is that you Know it, it seemingly appears within Awareness

You could never be the one suffering because it’s just not possible, you are only ever the Knower— the Knower of whatever profound complex or complicated situation that appears to be , you won’t ever be inside the scene because the scene only IS because you Know it.

All the definitions and conclusions ‘you’ are deriving about what the case is are unrelated baseless ideas that are free to be expressed so long as the light of Awareness feeds that existence

I want you to be able to have this as a deep understanding that You are not the doer or the victim but the unspeakable undefinable presence in all that seems real

This is something very obvious and blatant to you that you have overlooked it your entire life. When the gurus say to enquire into your true identity ; Awareness, when they say to notice the Self, when they say to leave the mind alone they say so because they know how paramount a direct experience of what we are pointing to is and not merely the intellectual understanding of the words we say

You have to be willing to Know Self for exactly what it is and have that pure knowledge be with you in all you seem to do

Trying to understand all this with the mind is a futile attempt. The mind cannot grasp it and neither should it— you do not need to feel anything you need to go beyond logic to the only thing that needs no words to be and that is Awareness— Being.

[divatakesontruth]

hey so when you said “you can’t experience something without previously knowing of it i mean i’m confused. like yes i absolutely can. if i go to a new place and i bring my dog and she’s on the living room and i’m on the bathroom i don’t know what she’s doing technically i mean i cannot know what she’s doing? i don’t understand sorry i’m a bit stuck here.

There is nothing that can exist without Knowing. This isn’t something to try and disprove, it is quite literally just the fact of what is.

Can you find something that exists separate from Knowing? Is it possible to Know something that is not within Knowing? The only way for something to be is to Know it.

I’m not referring to ‘you’ the person I’m talking about infinite awareness, the entire scenario you have painted would only seem to exist, be present if it was Known, I’m pointing to something bigger here, we’re dissecting the very nature of reality and the truth is without Awareness, Knowing there can be nothing(no-thing)

So yes its very possible that your dog can be elsewhere without knowing whats she’s doing, the point is there wouldn’t be the labeling of this situation (my dog is somewhere and idk what she’s doing) without there being the Knowing of the situation

It’s very straightforward and obvious, this has been the defining quality of all things since the apparent beginning of life

Secondly , I realize that my initial statement and what you gave as an example are not in conflict at all, the dog being in a different room doing what you aren’t aware of is entirely an experience that can only exist due to the fact that there is a Knowing of it. If there was no Knowing you wouldn’t even be able to describe the apparent situation as your dog being somewhere else and so on
