How Is This Even Possible?

[Psyche_92]

Hey,

How is it possible, that from the viewpoint of non-duality were everything is happening, "we" are able to manipulate "that what's happening" in such a way that it even seems to us like something is improving, aka self-development?

Also, aren't we extending the illusion for ourselves, by even thinking that we can manipulate reality?

@Psyche_92 from the nonduality perspective, there is no we or us. Thinking is illusion. Reality can never be manipulated because it is absolute. Thinking we manipulate ‘reality’ is part of the illusion. What you’re calling ‘reality’ is the illusion. What you really are is absolute.

This illusion is here to set limits for consciousness, which is seemingly fragmented into us, seemingly because it indeed is an illusion, just that it is not transparent to us, which means that we actually are real but artificially. In order for the absolute infinity to arise, it has to see itself from all possible limitations.

How is anything possible at all?

That is the question.
