3 Questions About Non-Duality

[StrangerWatch]

1. If nothing exists, why should I care?

2. Does everything literally exist within the nothingness — from heaven to hell and everything in between?

3. Is there any escape from consciousness/experience if it becomes too miserable?

[Mercurio3]

1. You shouldn’t care. But if you are totally honest to yourself, you really believe that you are what you see in the mirror. It’s like an actor who forgets he is just playing a role and believes that he is the character. If he was conscious of being just a character, then he didn’t really suffer. See?

2. Everything and nothing are ultimately the same thing. That’s non-duality. There is not two things but only ONE which manifests itself as whatever is possible to be. It is infinite, no begin or end. No limits. No form. But infinity must include all limits within itself in order to be infinite.

3. Death. But as life, it’s an illusion. Existence is infinite. It only can exists. Forever. Existence can’t escape from existence. If you feel your life too miserable, remember that it is just a dream, a game. Don’t take so seriously. Don’t be a slave of your own ego or ideas. Try to observe. Try to meditate. The game will be played as you look to the game Itself (karma). You can be aware of that or not.

1) Exactly. That's called detachment. But it's precisely when you are detached that you can enjoy life and live with deep passion.

2) Yes

3) Technically speaking consciousness is not experience. Experiences come and go, but consciousness is Absolute. When you become deeply conscious, misery will become impossible, because you'll just see right through that illusion.

What about the infinite hell you just stated exists within the nothingness? It is an infinite experience of suffering for which there is no room to transcend experience.

Yes, but there is no ONE experiencing that hell. 'There is also infinite bliss, joy and happiness! 

It's like saying that infinite blue exist within our universe. Of course "blue" will always be represented in the world, so will yellow and all other colours for eternity.

Why do you need an experiencer to validate an experience?

[Guest Quanty]

1. If nothing exists, why should I care?

This is only a definition of society about existence.

 

2. Does everything literally exist within the nothingness — from heaven to hell and everything in between?

Yes

 

3. Is there any escape from consciousness/experience if it becomes too miserable?

Master Air (green) and Earth (red) and everything will make sense.

Nothing excist and you should not care. But does that stops you from caring?

Always go from your own direct experience until you know for sure.
