Everything is Knowing; the Self— A non dual perspective.

Before I begin, I heavily implore new readers and those who might come across this by chance to leave your preconceptions of what non duality is for the time in which you read this and keep the most open mind. Non duality is not a practice neither is it a law nor a religion, it is nothing new— in fact it is so ancient to our infinite Being that we willingly chose to forget the truth of Reality. Whether you choose to believe it or not, Everything is non-dual.

If you closely examine into your current experience, the one you have and observe right now of what is going on and who you are, you would notice something immediately; that the very core of your unique experience has a quality so normally foregone and that is the Knowing. Knowing is the very thing that allows for ‘something’ to even be ‘something’.

This knowing is precedent to all the seeming things of life, it is within your knowing that you can touch the ‘stuff’ of experience. Consciousness is contained within Knowing, Reality is contained within Knowing, Shifting is contained within Knowing, The laws of manifestation are contained within Knowing. The very fact that a circumstance, phenomenon or object can be qualified as something reveals that there is the Knowing and something Knowing of it as such.

Not only is Knowing prior to, it is that which existence itself relies on; meaning if there was no Knowing of xyz then can you have an experience or can you even fathom xyz? This alone proves that Awareness/Knowing is not just the mere quality to be aware or know but something transcendental altogether.

Notice now, the infinite inconceivable quality of Knowing and the inability to know anything other than Knowing. The more you try to arrive at something other than what is known— you arrive at something else that is also Known. Experience itself is contained within Knowing, within Self.

The reason Knowing is Self is because the fact previously established that every apparent thing/ existence is dependent upon Knowing and hence the reason for its apparent existence shows how even to try and qualify or define Knowing as Knowing would also be Known and hence the reason for its apparent existence

What am I trying to say? I'm trying to demonstrate how Knowing is the ultimate factor onto which anything can exist. We've already previously established how everything has the quality of Knowing, everything is contained within the Knowing. So that means that for anything to even be, it would have to be known, and that means that we cannot directly confirm that what we know is the actual truth, because if anything can be within Knowing and hence ‘true’ then that means there is no concrete Reality/ Existence.

This is not even philosophy, this is just something you can notice right now. Are you able to have an experience separate from the Knowing of that experience? Are you able to conceptualize a phenomenon without the Knowing of said phenomenon? The answer is a plain and simple no.

So if even Knowing is Known then what is thing through which all appears to exist? To clearly pinpoint it as something such as the universe or god would be to Know of such a conclusion but we are not looking for a conclusion we are looking for what Knows. What Knows cannot be an object of Knowing so any sort of clear label arrived at would be inaccurate but you know one thing that cannot be overlooked? Is that in the center of Knowing is You.

Not you the person, remember anything that can be pinpointed is no longer Reality but rather an instant result of Knowing, but rather You here is what you remain as when all the stories and labels fall away, pure Being is You— pure Being is the Knowing, the Self, the Awareness.

Do you understand truly what this means my loves? That absolutely nothing is Real now, but that does not in anyway take away the apparent existence of everything. So long as Knowing is, everything will appear to be. That is why there is absolutely no 3d or physical reality, I’m not being metaphorical or poetic. I mean right now the world around is Knowing apparently divided into different things and conclusions.

That is why when people ask me “how do I change my reality” “how do I shift” I do not give a direct answer because the only difference between success and failure is the Knowing. If you Know right now of beauty and love — then that is indeed what the apparent reality IS. Not will be, IS.

You do not need to assume shit, assuming implies continuity, a future, a change. What I’m talking about is as direct as simply looking in a mirror and seeing a reflection, what is Known IS what IS.

The same way in which the story of who ‘you’ are right now and as unsatisfactory is Known, is the same way you can Know a seemingly different or better story. NOW

Read that again

There is no process, there is only Knowing; The Self.

Non duality bridges the gaps between ourselves and the world showcasing how everything is but an object in Awareness, what is done upon this Realization should not and cannot be policed, we aren’t monks abstaining from pleasure, we are seekers looking to transcend the illusions of suffering.

As long as you believe you're a body, then there will be practical things for you to take care of. But when you realize that you're not the body, you're not the mind, then there no longer will be practical things for you to take care of. Yet you will appear to be taking care of them. They'll be taken care of better than you could ever do before. At the same time you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it's not you that is the doer. You're not the doer. Yet everything will be done.

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:

how to ACTUALLY manifest on a time crunch ꪆৎ

let me start by saying there is nothing wrong with having a deadline for a manifestation. it's completely natural and not something you need to de-train yourself from doing. any coach or anybody who tells you that you need to "forget about time" is putting an unfair, unrealistic, and honestly impossible expectation on you. because this entire experience of human life is rooted in the linear, fleeting way that we experience time. so of course you put deadlines on yourself. you want to achieve something by a certain age. you want to be at a certain place by a certain year. that's not wrong at all, that's human.

but how do you do it? that's where it can feel confusing.

the issue that most people fall into when trying to manifest something on a time crunch is that instead of focusing on their manifestation itself, they focus on the time they have to receive it.

first of all let’s preface and make one thing clear: manifesting on a “time crunch” is no different than any other manifestation. every manifestation, every shift, it’s always always instant. there’s no moment to wait for. if you’re waiting, then you are manifesting the person who is waiting to receive, instead of manifesting the person who has. whatever you desire, you have it now, time crunch or not. so, it’s fundamentally not any different. the only difference is the pressure you put on yourself.

let's say you have a test score you want to revise. you got a bad grade, you saw it, but you have a certain date where you have to submit your scores somewhere crucial or something. you're freaking out, you're stressed and scared and anxious and completely, totally lost in the state of lack. and that's the thing. in that moment, you become totally fixated on the lack. you embody the person who is desperate and waiting and trying and hoping, and you become the person who is living straight out of fear, instead of focusing on being the person who already has. because the truth is, you do already have. your fear is valid, but it's lying to you. and you keep falling for it.

think of it this way. if you have the time to worry about whether or not you'll "get your manifestation in time", then that means the moment of reckoning that you are so scared of isn't here yet. and if it isn't in this present moment, it doesn't exist, period.

therefore, the moment you fear isn't here yet, but you've already decided that the moment is here because you keep creating it in your mind. think about it. we already know imagination = reality. so when you believe your fear that you need to "get" something in order to make that moment not arrive in your reality, you're basically saying that right now, the reality that will come for you, the reality that is "supposed" to come when time does what it does and passes to reach that moment, is the very reality that you fear so much. you place all this pressure on the fact that somehow receiving your manifestation will change this for you. what i'm saying is, you've already chosen your reality in your mind, and it isn't the one you want. because you've already decided that until you see your manifestation, the dreaded outcome is the one that will come for you when time passes. and that contradicts the fundamental truth about manifestation, that reality only ever reflects what you currently are. you will never see change until you change.

here's an analogy because i love using them lol, i feel like it really helps.

imagine you're holding a bomb, with a timer. you've got an hour until it goes off. with each second that passes you get closer and closer to it going off, and you're terrified. you refuse to look away from the bomb, all you're thinking about is how awful it'll be if it explodes, how desperately you want to turn it off. because right now the truth you've accepted as your belief, the belief that you are choosing to put faith into, is that the bomb will go off once the timer rings. you can see the timer and the bomb, so it logically it must be true.

but we already know: manifestation isn't logical. it's never been. it will always require you to trust in something you can't see first.

so the more time you spend worrying about the bomb, the more time you spend in your unwanted reality. the only way to survive the bomb now is to realize that right now, there is only this present moment. since you have time to worry, you have time to choose differently. so right now, instead of worrying about how to stop the outcome from happening, decide that the outcome isn't happening. so what if the bomb is there. so what if the timer keeps running. it's not real anymore. it doesn't exist for you anymore. it's invalid. it is impossible now. you chose differently. your desired outcome already happened because you chose it in your mind, which is just as real as the outer world. and your word is law.

you might still see it. so what? you're god. no matter what happens, you still have your manifestation.

this is the part we struggle with, when doubt becomes loudest, and fear almost takes us back. but that's when you need to go all in on faith the most. not out of fear, not performatively. you don't trust to get something. you trust because you know that it's already yours. no matter what you see or feel. reality is only ever a reflection of you, and when you decide, its over. it must reflect that.

and again, this doesn't mean believe that to receive. it means believe that because its over. you already have received. the same way you initially believed the undesired outcome was looming over you, was unavoidable, now you choose to believe your desired outcome is that way instead. put your faith in that. even when it feels impossible and insane. don't lose your sanity over it, that's not what i'm saying. don't detach from reality. see what you see, feel what you feel, don't deny any of it. just carry the knowing in you that you chose and reality has already reflected that. not that it will in the future. but that it already has. regardless of what you see. you don't need to worry about the old outcome you feared anymore because it literally doesn't exist the moment your awareness is taken away from it.

let yourself feel the fear, don't forcefully affirm or script or whatever your way out of it. let it pass and then gently bring yourself to the feeling of having it in your mind. you don't do this to get, but to remind yourself that you already have.

you'll see slowly that all it ever comes down to is self trust. trust yourself, not the physical. time will pass, but it isn't an enemy. it's an illusion. and it can never stop a manifestation from coming. because everything you desire is already manifested. creation is already finished. this present moment is all that exists. you already have it all. you just need to stop believing otherwise.

and lastly i just want to say, i know how desperate those moments can feel. how much pressure you've put on yourself to the point that it really does feel like you're holding a bomb in your hands and racing against the clock to manifest or shift. but the problem is you still put your faith in the undesired outcome. you think you need to do more to achieve your desired reality, that you need to witness a miracle to escape the reality you don’t want. but you don't. you just need to stop believing that you're still in the old. that's all.

no matter what happens, you are always going to be god, source, the universe, whatever you call it, no matter what. you will always survive every situation. everything will always be okay. trust yourself, and trust in that if nothing else.

love,

this is kind of shit but like. you get it right

[philosophybits]

The secret of evil is the secret of freedom. Without our understanding of freedom the irrational fact of the existence of evil in God's world cannot be understood. At the basis of the world lies irrational freedom, in the very depths of the abyss. And out of these depths pour the dark currents of life. This abyss hides all sorts of possibilities. This bottomless darkness of being, pre-existent before all good and all evil, cannot be rationalized, fully and completely: it always hides the possibility of the outflow of new, unilluminated energies.
