I think many miss out, because he is so clear and direct, no fluff. Hope the original poster watches the video and experience what is being said because it's always practical, not just intellectual bs. I got this video like a pill for this user's situation, listened to exact section after reading his post, like it was synchronicity at work, so I hope he pays attention to it and doesn't do silly things like insane amounts of mushrooms or whatever he has in mind.

This video, from 23:00 to see what belief leads to Solipsism, thats your mistake @theoneandnone. Bonus, he uses the word Actualize in there Take care. Btw, shared dream is no longer a dream, it's reality and we have only One reality. Don't poop on it, you're not alone.

Take a listen 🎶 A shared dream is real reality.

Continously notice you are here and now as you read. I see so many topics on here about this and that, and I believe the forum used to be much more rigorous about pointing out that without knowing who or what you are, all other topics are like building a house without a solid base. Topics about satanism - whaaaa, about spirits, afterlife, this or that. Who is asking, who is answering? What is asked and by who? Lets examine for a second, and see whether all those other topics even make sense to the real you, or they only make sense to your persona in time. I am always now. The word I refers to that which knows all senses, all perceptions and conceptions, meaning, all thoughts, feelings, etc.. all visual, auditory, sensory perceptions. That I which knows all those is always Here and Now and its effortlessly here and now. What afterlife then, if I am always here now? Satanism is just a bad trip generator, a poor artist in creation, a weed in the garden. A bad movie. I am unstained by any movie, always here and now. What is a Satanist other than someone lost in his own mind? I am Prior to time and space. All I need to do is Be in the knowing of I in the nowness of it. The nowness of I is real. Thats awareness of awareness. Awareness of objectless Nowness. So what am I and What are you?

Investigating a sensation currently present and relaxing into what knows that sensation is not a conceptual exercise. Investigating a thought currently present and relaxing into what knows that thought is also not a conceptual exercise. What is important here is not the object of experience, which would be conceptual exercise, but always being more interested in the subject of that appearant object, be it conceptual object (thought) or a perception/sensation. There is one common isness/nowness that knows all these different objects which itself can't be seen as an object, which makes it so appearantly elusive. Cant be seen as an object, but it can be beinged - only now. Thats it, if I weren't it, I wouldn't be able to know it. I can only know it because I am it.

"Simply being here and now" is not enough yes, you have to also be interested about it and to know that you are here and now. Literally everyone is here and now, but who is knowingly here and now? Not many. I feel like some here have strong spiritual egos that are hard to get through. I like the beginners mindset always, beginning from what we have here and now, not from content of the mind or something learnt, because that would stain our investigation, it won't be as pure as it can be.

Leave some enlightenment for the rest of us, dude

I don't know about those, im simply examining the current experience. I don't know of that which knows everything, only that which knows my experience, narrowing down myself, i dont bother myself with thinking about concepts like everything, just my own experience is the only thing I have full access to and can investigate.

Ayy that arogant ego speaking . Seems like you got the truth on intellectual level. You are probably a young one with that flashy statement. Ofcourse the now is 0 years old, but it is not only you lmao, it's everyone like you're special, just like everybody else

How old are you, Ivane. This nonduality thing is not about winning arguments nor about typing flashy comments, its about having practical direct experience of nonduality. Maybe re-read original post and see if you can follow the pointings. The egoic reactional thoughts are also seen by the I now. They aren't I.

In my post I talk about direct experiential awareness of Being now, nothing woowoo, no concepts, but pointing to the subject which cant be experienced as an object. in your comment you talk about some concepts.

Discussing consciousness here in direct practical way. If you want just tell me why I'm wrong or contribute in some way to the thread rather than this childish jelly thing, that would he great

Well im not going to be following any of the Frank Yang spirituality where he has poetry about getting down on girls and presents the genitals as light 🤔. If you are young enjoy yourself, but at some point perhaps after an accident or just by getting older you understand you need to look for something more absolute for your peace than body and mind which are transient. The body and mind are sensations and thoughts/ feelings appearing now and not essential to what I am because they constantly change, but the nowness is essential to what I am. Nothing else changes, just my identity.

I agree you cant hold it as an idea, but who is that holding it as idea, if not another idea. Im talking about the actual nowness that cannot be put in words. Since it is me that is aware now, that means I am that aware nowness, so I can hold on to That as my identity. Yes, not with words, but as the experience itself of knowing being

But im saying The empty nowness is actually real and self evident now.. and my empty nowness is the same darn thing as yoour empty nowness. Its the common root. My nowness is not different to your nowness. I can actuallly hold on to the nowness as a sense of self, because its always present and its me

The real answers get burried under all the arguing and banter

Happiness is when you are satisfied. You seek nothing further to improve your current state, because you are completely satisfied aka happy and at peace. You might want to watch some Rupert Spira, lately he's been the one I resonare the most with, and I've listened to most you can find online that deal with nonduality.

Stoop arguing anything you say is poetry, dont take yourselves too seriously, unless you're having a moment

I will go ahead and answer even tho its not towards me. Afraid of dying, that human guy ceasing to exist, that guy who is in relationship with reality. Nondual would be a state where you know you are not only in relationship with reaality but also are reality as much as anything else. As much as the tree and the river and the clouds, the birds and the bees 🐝 it's a very vulnerable place to be, because you accept your aliveness and fragility like the bugs and the plants, and now can come the terror - how come you're alive? What if its time to die? Gonna piss your pants - you wont be able to write on actualized once you die for one small example. You havent experienced it if you are here. Non of us is an expert in death. Even if you had ego deaths, thats different. Im talking about nonduality for the born being and the terror of that born being for its own death. Im not talking about the Unborn Tao, that is irrelevant,, no terror for it, the unborn can't die, easymode there!

He better be alone. Also, never trust a James, he's here to stir. The King cuts reality to His liking ✂️ 💇‍♀️ ✂️ 💇‍♂️ Any aliens invading his throne room shall be ✂️ ✂️ to His liking. 📱 🖥 🖥 👩‍💻 🖲 Time will stop before they can grab Him. He is divinely annointed. He is protected by the highest high, the lowest low. Nondual dual anointing Amen 🙏

I've had a lot of experiences which felt biblical, like my relationship to the Whole as a human being, as me, my real name and all, my life, what I was destined to do and how I kinda failed at it, but also did a lot better than certain others, not to brag much.. but still, the task was way too big and I got big headed earlly on in life which slowed down my progress and there now I am kind of a degenerate. It felt like everyone had put their faith in my incarnation and i did a poopoo job out of it, did great up to a point, but then my free will to be bad took over and i didnt know the stakes, because i was raised an atheist, which was also part of the deaal. If i knew the stakes it wouldnt be real... anyway, i dont expect anyone to understand, because you dont know my life or the people ive known and events of my life etc... its all been.. a great story I guess, up to a point where I started spiralling down because of a girl, and never recovered. Im just chatting ofcourse, yet another mind guerilla, a mental masturbation alert! Whatever! My life felt very meaningful tho. Thats something.

We are entering the infinite judgmenet spiral, be careful young padawan🧐 Take it easy and leave some for the rest Joking aside, what happens if your ability to have such pleasures gets taken from you? What then? You will start to look into spirituality then?

As someone who's never done psychedellics but have had sober nondual experiences i know what terrror you are talking about. Writing from hospital bed after latest one. Anyway, one time I talked to a guy on the street... early in the morning, a black guy... he looked like a thug, carrying something... i walked past him, he followed me, i said stop following me thank you - he said he wouldnt hurt me, just self defense. Then i went up to him later, this crazy guy and I asked him "Bro, are you me?" And he suddenly snapped out of his crazy persona and became extremely intelligent and asked me what I could teach him. But before he did that he said "its just about being" and "i am addicted to learning". Crazy experiences one can have. I find that street spirituality can be proper real. We like to meditate and close ourselves from the world, when perhaps the world can be the meditation! The body doesnt have to go if its an illusion, so who disappears? Who is alone? Who am I? I know, I'm a slow learner.

You mean the love of money and hedonism? Is that your God? Oh dear! With that username, i feel dirty even replying 😔 🤧 Anyway, good luck on your journey, you sound like you are young.

The very nature of decisions and even talking about delusions, we need to give reality to time and ego first... how do we talk about delusion in the timeless? You can see how we cant help but play i in the story of time, yet we keep on ignoring it in spiritual circles, and we focus on the eternal now, so if you kicked a cat or killed a bat in the past, you can forget about that or any punishment you might be due based on your past actions.... It feels great, but also feels a bit dishonest, like cheating, ignoring, running away from consequences, living in a self created dream. We might want our good deeds to be remembered... maybe you did a lot of good and a lot of bad in your life. Is there an entity that knows all you've done? And to fairly assess your life? Prrhaps!
