only known in and of oneself

strange provisions, thought experiments

always so to speak

nothing to figure out, this is immediate

what is the basic of nd? i would like to read more on this

Non dual means that there is no inherent or ontological separation. That all of experience is one *this*

That you can trace back all seemingly external and internal goings as one *existence*

That interpretation of “mind” is ultimately a joke, not actual

[unknowable-known]

"YOU transcend all the ways that you can describe yourself"

"How weird it is!"

When this is said, it means absolutely any and all infinite descriptions. ANY. Even the scariest ones where you think you'll never get there or anywhere...NOT actual or determinable. Undefined as undefined gets, not undefined as a definition itself.

NO exceptions! You're already here, already IT

Being says that desires dissolve, but you say you don’t have to dissolve—I wonder which of you is right. Let’s say I’m craving a burger: can I just poof and conjure up a burger menu in my hand out of thin air, or does it require a process—like someone giving it to me, me buying it, or me going out to get it myself? Is that how it happens?

It’s all just pointless semantics. There is no need to compare writing styles or use of words in all these different writers lol. I’m being for real, you’re wasting your time sussing that out. It’s so so pointless. What even is a desire? Who is desiring?

Focus on the common thread discussed, words are never causing the seeing

Also why would there be a need to change desire into “no desire” if these sentiments naturally relax/“dissolve” upon self seeing? Right? Is anything actually changing if it’s all THAT? NO.

And finally, most of us writers are very explicit in saying to never trust what we say. To directly see it for yourself. Beingis also constantly harps on not over analyzing their own writing, it’s merely pointers for directly noticing.

(I'm using a translator because I don't speak English) I think I should stop spending hours reading blogs on Tumblr. There's nothing new to see anymore, nothing that's the final piece that will change my whole perspective. I already know everything and also know nothing, because no concept exists, consciousness has no concept and, in the "end," it's not even called consciousness. I used to spend hours on blogs looking for answers, some even difficult to understand because of the complicated words they use. Your blog (there are others that are also great) is the simplest to understand everything. You don't condemn having desires, dreams (I know these things are illusory) and you don't use such complicated words. But, in the end, there's nothing to understand. I'm not a confused person, confusion is an illusion, I am the illusion, only the " " exists. I think I'll reduce the time I spend reading various blogs, go back to drawing, reading, and acquire some other habit that I really want. I'm "neglecting to live my life" to find an answer, knowing that everything is a big illusion. Maybe I trust myself a little, but "trust" is also an illusion. Maybe I create a script for some experience I want to try. I clung to this "concept" of non-dualism because I'm going through a difficult time in my life, but it doesn't exist, this life doesn't exist. I clung to it because I saw non-dualism as a new and simplified method of the law of assumption or the law of attraction, but even that doesn't exist, nothing exists. I think I'll reduce my screen time and live and experience something (I know I already experience and live everything, I'm not good at explaining things in a way that isn't dualistic 😭😭😭). Thank you for being so simple in your words.

We don’t condemn anything. Nobody is good at explaining in language lol. Just remind yourself it’s always ultra simple. Any complexity is an illusion. Any seeming complexity is a joke unto yourself.

I’m tired I tried noticing nothing is changing

And yes I know nothing has to change because that’s only an appearance appearing but what now ?

It’s like I can’t seem to notice no matter how much I try.

I can’t notice what I am all I notice are thoughts

Stop trying so hard. I know to you it might seem counterintuitive but take a step back and just be playful with this.

im getting started, how do i direct experience?

See that there’s no need to start anything

[unknowable-known]

Do you still have any wishes or desires, Unk ? Or have you lost the desire for them because you can experience them the moment you wish for them—because you can create them instantly?

Nothing is ever lost, that’s for certain. You already know the answer to this for yourself anyway. Nothing to give up, nothing to accept, no contradictions. Just you.

No need to focus on analyzing why it feels like “me a body and the external” experientially—digging away at conceptually solving “separation.” There’s nothing to figure out here. It was never separate in the first place, so there is no answer to this misguided question. It seems like this because we’re cool af

See that “inside vs outside” is merely a slippery interpretation with no stability. See that even “experientially” there is nothing with staying power. You move around, perspectives of “spaces” constantly shift, the body and mind are a flurry of thought/sensations like a trillion lights going on and off infinitely. No solidity.

How could any of this be actual? How can we ever be certain of continuity when nothing is ever the same? In turn, where is the solid continuous person that could ever be certain of anything? It’s stunningly clear when you simply notice…nothing is ever continous or actually here in an ontological way…nothing is ever an actual “feature of reality”

Without interpretations, what remains? Something, ineffable. Our own conceptual mystery. The only “feature” of reality is being, no-thing, THAT

being is aware of our awareness yes or no?

Being is being itself. You are aware of yourself.

[unknowable-known]

You use the term "self seeing/seen" a lot, which I somewhat understand but also somewhat feels like it goes over my head.. but I think now I've gotten it, like it's self seen because it's all me, all " ". Like I'm seeing myself in everything?

Just see that being is the only “stability” —everything else is otherwise, or not stable. Even seemingly solid objects are not perceived in stability, no? You walk around and the perspective of “solid external objects” is constantly changing, right? Is your body ever solidly perceived, or as certain as being is? Not really, the body is just all these appearing sensations with no lasting stability, right? The only solid certainty is being or no-thing. Everything else is just waves of being. Notice the solidity of yourself, being. Notice the instability of everything else that being appears as…

(random fact) i just realized that, since "awareness" and "consciousness" is translated the same in french (conscience), we make the difference by specifying/saying it's "la présence attentive" (the attentive presence) and somehow it points nicely to this nothingness

Yeah there’s a lot of words, and they’re meaningless ultimately. It is interesting how all these languages can connote very poorly or more streamlined

I remember there was an era on tumblr where folks discussed the diff between “consciousness” and “awareness” lol—shits still going on subtilely amongst many writers. Kinda pointless tbh.

Tho it seems like some languages are “built better” for this, like French (amongst many other languages). English is kinda insane. Just another example how all this writing is merely creative pointers, it’s never causing the “seeing”

And is there truly a difference between “consciousness and awareness” at the end of the day? Not really. It’s all nothing. The “technical” differentiation is insubstantial, vague, slippery when you really look…

Hi Why do people say that the chain of events—cause, effect and how things work—must exist in the world, and that this is how things work? I’ve seen a few people explain this through non-dualism, and it’s left me confused.

Just see what remains (you) aside all these concepts or mental intricacies, see what remains aside what appears as solid or external

It’s very simple

What remains cannot be reduced, fragmented, transient, or have a constantly changing perspective. We just are. What remains is everything that seems just the same. Nothing specific or definitive, just this.

“Infinite” or openness doesn't need conceptual maintenance. Never did. Whereas limits seem like a continuous “assertion”

[unknowable-known]

And you’re not trying to find a state of “seeing limitless” it already is this way! You just notice. It’s not like infinity is flashing before your eyes in a mystical sense. It’s simply just what is…nothing special or specific. It’s not something known, but also is known. It’s implicit, “subtle”

[unknowable-known]

Hi Could you explain why anything is possible?

Because no limit is verifiable. Any limit would just be another position, perception, or idea—all of which are being/nothing already. Being is never anything specific, it’s just what is…

And it’s not that everything is possible/limitlessness is verified by an “individual mind,” it’s just what remains, always. Whereas limits and frameworks need an individual mind to be verified. But there is no actual solid individual mind or limits when you look. So what remains is “the infinite” or openness

Do you see the difference?

Both are ideas at the end of the day, but one remains implicitly and clearly
