What is the purpose of doubt anyway?

@ajasatya Your advice sounds similar to what Leo speaks about embracing confusion..if confusion and doubt are the same thing:)

I noticed its sometimes subtle mental state..i mean unlike anger or sadness for example so it goes under the radar easily or it is in the back of the mind so to say

@Inliytened1 So knowing and accepting is the only thing necessary?

Are you implying to embrace it?

@Aakash Isnt it unrealistic to expect that mind will immediately accept such a belief?What about more gradual approach or expectation?

I like your analogy:) Very poetic

Nice insight:)

Great video with clear explanations of the teachings:)

@Mu_ Yeah I am still spinning in ego stories it creates from inquiry experiences:)Its kinda tricky cause it definitely feels like I have to put effort into being consciousness even though thats what I essentialy am.Probably comes from natural tendency that to get somewhere you have to do something. Thanks for your response

@purerogue No that was my only non dual "experience". There is no non dual experience when there is a sense of you.There is only consciousness then. I had moments of nice stilness of mind in that consciousness observer stage though

@Mu_ Yes..my experience.I was comparing with one true non dual moment i had where there was no separation between me and the world.All there was was consciousness and it wasnt mine it was just there existing:) But most of my inquiry and meditation experiences are still this sort od duality between me consciousness observing and "stuff" being observed. So i was wondering if that is still ego in disguise just in form of consciousness and not in form of thinker of thought or feeler od emotions..sorry if i sound confusing:D

That what is seeing itself is in these moments of inquiry still separated from what is seen.And I wonder is any form of separation in experience ego cause consciousness is ultimately non dual as i understand

Is being witnessing consciousness still ego in disguise even though you arent identified with thoughts and emotions but with consciousness instead?

Is the witness consciousness still ego in disguise?

@Anton_Pierre Mind is unable to grasp the true nature anyway so training the mind has benefits only for clearing the mud from awareness to recognize itself:)

But in non dual moment(enlightement experience) there isnt one to doubt:D Its pretty clear what is being seen.Awareness aware of itself.

@SoonHei Ok but if you "see" that you have mistaken the rope for the snake(ego for True self)once you see it it cannot trick you anymore..and yet many people(me included) after a non dual moment fall back to sleep..

Why couple of no self glimpses arent enough to awaken from dream?

Non duality is radically different from solipsism.Solipsism is talking about only finite limited ego mind existing while non duality is pointing towards unlimited consciousness

What was the hardest part in the journey for You to realize Yourself?

@Highest Then you definitely deserve what you realized

How long did you practiced self inquiry till realization occured?

This is interesting.Why body anxiety still happens if you broke mind identification after all mind and body are connected and influence each other dont they?

Yeah until you get it you wont be motivated enough at least that was the case with me.As i said stick with your meditation and inquiry and do it every day.If you will be persistent it will happen dont worry.Sorry to hear that but you need to realize you cant allow other people to form your self image and worth.Dont accept everything negative you hear from others.She told you that but you dont need to believe it. Find your good aspects and use them to beat the issues you have.
