I think the "ego taking charge" is saying the contrary. That's what religious churches preach. They say that the devil was expelled from heaven because he wanted to be like GOD. That's exactly what is taking away people from salvation. Or enlightenment, whatever you wanna call it. If God is two things, then there is something else that encompasses those two things. That thing that encompasses God and the "other" is greater than God, ergo it is God. God is one and everything is in that unity. It cannot be separated.

@Hojo YW :-)

Exactly, that's what I was trying to say when I said "Don't think" but you said it better than me. Just being present and paying attention to reality.

You are separating what is ONE thing... mind and consciousness... that's the root of the problem :-)

I had one experience with the void but I was scared. I think I am ready now for a new one hehehe...

I think this guy explains it very well... I take the liberty of copy pasting this message that I think it goes well with the discussion in here... it's from Reddit from the Non Duality forum: Non Duality - There is Nothing but the ONE MIND - Drop ALL Dogma and Find Freedom! Discussion So I don't plan to make many more posts about anything like this because I finally saw it and I get it at long last. There is nothing left for me to learn, I don't mean this arrogantly. I just mean I get it! I am no longer interested in dogma or meditations or anything else. I have been in Void like states for the past week or so now. I am only writing this to help anyone who may of been lost like I was. Yes it was mind blowing too. It made me realize that the more I looked outside and the more I gained knowledge, the more lost I had become. I now get what Non duality is and what it isn't. It is not about ego deaths, awareness, observers or being observed. Even cliche terms like Enlightenment and Awakening do not touch upon it. It is none of those things and to use terms like these are to create dualities where there are none and to fall into extreme ignorance. All of these terms and concepts are the real illusions we must overcome. If I say today that I awakened. It means that tomorrow I can fall asleep again. I am now in some battle of being awakened vs being asleep. I am the One Mind that is the SOURCE OF ALL THINGS! My mind is the source of being awakened and being asleep. To say I am awakened or enlightened is to stay highly ignorant and to create a duality where there are none. There is no ego to kill, to say I have an ego is to say there is an entity that exists apart from the One Mind. Anything I call an ego, is just a concept within the One Mind. The idea of an ego is another fantasy concept made up and imagined to be some kind of obstacle to be got rid of i.e - it is Complete nonsense. If you believe an ego exists, then you believe in something having some level of independent existence. There is nothing to be achieved, attained, gained or realized. These are all dualities again. Again, you are creating obstacles where there are none. Any of these terms hint that we must seek outside of ourselves to find the One mind, there is only the One mind. We simply need to see the Nature of our own mind, which is the One Universal Mind. Non duality is the realization that everything is merely a creation of the ONE MIND and we all share that ONE Mind. There is nothing else to get your head around or understand. That is Non duality in a nutshell. There is no Real or Illusion either, to say something is real or to say something is an illusion is to create a duality. To say something exists and something does not exist is another duality. Everything is just the One Universal Mind. Remove all your concepts, dogma, rituals and belief systems and simply See this and you then you will partake in the Void. The state where you no longer feel separate or independent, you know you are everything and everything is you. The place where you see that everything is just emptiness and nothingness, all attachment having vanished into thin air. The Void is the place where you truly FEEL FREE! It is not enlightenment or awakening it is FREEDOM from all concepts and belief systems. You simply know that All is just a creation within the ONE Mind. Your mind being the ONE Mind that creates all and is the Only Reality and Original Source of all things. A quote from Huang Po to finish - 'All the Buddhas and all sentient beings are nothing but the One Mind, beside which nothing exists. This Mind, which IS without beginning, is unborn (Unborn not in the sense of eternity, for this allows contrast with its opposite; but unborn in the sense that it belongs to no categories admitting of alteration or antithesis). and indestructible. It is not green nor yellow, and has neither form nor appearance. It does not belong to the categories of things which exist or do not exist nor can it be thought of in terms of new or old. It is neither long nor short, big nor small, for it transcends all limits, measures, names, traces, and comparisons. It IS that which you see before you-- begin to reason about it and you at once fall into error. It is like the boundless void which cannot be fathomed or measured. The One Mind alone is the Buddha, and there is no distinction between the Buddha and sentient things, but that sentient beings are attached to forms and so seek externally for Buddhahood. By their very seeking they lose it, for that is using the Buddha to seek for the Buddha and using mind to grasp Mind.'

Same thing happens to me with my wife, I am not sharing any of this with anyone anymore... those who haven't experienced it think we are nuts. Lol...

Exactly... everything is consciousness... nice.

But it’s true. He was direct and they said he was saying something different. so sad…

Never had that, but is possible with the release of fears, anxiety and many other repressed emotions you are liberating with meditation that can happen. I am just wondering, never happened to me but I am sure there may be other who had experienced similar things. A lot of times inner feelings manifest in the body as pain, etc...

That's what he did all the time. And he confused the Hebrews at that time Lol... and he didn't give explanations, that's something I noticed too. When he said "Tear down this temple, and I'll rebuild it in three days." He never explained he was talking about the temple of his body. It was like he wanted the truth to stay disguised or hidden. He also said "Don't cast your pearls before swine" so maybe he had a reason for that. :-)

Looks great so far. What is the problem?

Exactly hehehe

Don't think about anything. There's not such a thing as nonexistence, that's just ideas. Existence is all there is. There's a saying that it goes like this: God won't give you more than you can handle. Zen masters used to use the common chores at home to keep calm and stay focused in reality. Remember budha he always recommended the middle way. I think that's what Sadhguru is pointing to.

Devilry

Awesome. Totally agree.

I like the word GOD too... I have no problem with that. :-) I'll watch the video.

Yea that’s the idea. Some say GOD, there’s people that don’t like that, they call it consciousness. That’s why there’s like more than 100 names for GOD. I agree if we kept our mind closed no word will be enough or good.

We are trying to explain what can’t be explained with words. So some say there’s no humans, other say humans are all part of God etc etc etc Thats all. Christ talked to the people of its time and he probably also didn’t know how to explain what happened to him differently. So he said what was written in the Hebrew bible.

Johh 9:39 "Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”

Jesus realized he is God and he showed us the way to have his same realization and know we are GOD too. I agree with you. You see? 😊

Stop parroting!!!
