Yes! You are it

Exactly... the non dual teachers says the reality, let's call it the ultimate truth... is that nothing is happening. Note: The "illusion" allows the world to be "created"

That's what Buddhist call "discrimination". And they call the infinite self buddhi and the lower self jiva. The Buddhi is a part of the ego that is closer to the light, to the absolute and the jiva is more attached to material things and it is the dark side of the ego, it is farther from the light source that is you.

There's an appearance of permanence that is not real, hence it's an illusion. Illusion means that things are not what they seem. Their true nature is not what we think it is. What is the nature of a tree? The leaves? The trunk? Everything is the tree but it has no nature, there's no tree nature. It's really empty and our mind call it a "tree".

That's what I needed to hear and I wasn't understanding. I had a lot of beliefs about thoughts, like if I see that I am not my thoughts "what am I going to do"? "How I will know how to function"... Lol... :-P Those are just thoughts and not real.

@Shin Thanks! That's what I am doing all the time, trying to be mindful all the time and thoughts are appearing less and less than before. And I am trying again to go back to my meditation schedule. I stopped for some months and yesterday I began to meditate again on top of being mindful all the time. I appreciate your input! :-)

Do you think that being mindful all the time can be enough to see it?

@Max_V One thing that it helped me a lot is to be mindful all the time. Mostly mindful about "the thoughts"... notice that I didn't write "your thoughts". The thoughts are what create the distortion on reality. If you can see that you don't have control over your thoughts, you will see that they have no power on you. Ergo, your belief about your brain having your "consciousness" or creating it it's going to fall apart. You need patience, it takes time... we have been indoctrinated all our life to that belief. It needs to be removed but not with other belief. It has to be consciousness who awakens. Your real self.

God is a God of laws!!!! And that includes law of physics, mathematics, quantum mechanics and more...

@Natasha with that video I had an experience of feeling all my body completely. I even noticed the blood running into the veins and the breathing, the air entering in the lungs. It was amazing, but I couldn't "reproduce" that experience again.

Try on a Mac next time

Thanks for sharing @Gailan @mp22 I don't think just repeating will work, it becomes "mechanical". Do self inquiry, ask "who am I" and stay in silence trying to find out who you are in reality. Without judgments, with radical honesty find out who you really are.

Reading the several books at the same time 1) The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are ~ Alan Watts 2) The Bhagavad Gita 3) The Lamp of Non Dual Knowledge 4) The Essence of Ribhu Gita 5) The Practice of the Presence of God: The Wisdom and Teachings of Brother Lawrence 6) The Fast Lane Entrepeneur

Then turn to him the other cheek

I was searching for this Lol... I was in the doctor yesterday and they asked me (in one of those forms you have to fill) if I had any religion, I wanted to write Western Rational Materialism Lol but I didn't remember it... next time I'll do it. :-P

Every thought that appears or arises is false.

You have to be brave to post this Tasha in this society that judges everything related to sex and women. If men do it, they clap, but if a woman does it... she's a... well, you know that "word"

That guy thinks he is smart and it's trying to prove himself that... and that's his achilles heel. He is not...

I know you are asking Leo but... this is what I understand for the "rabbit hole"... for me the rabbit hole is searching for the truth. Sorry for getting in the middle of the convo Lol
