I don't even know anymore whether everything is one or not

I don't even know anymore whether everything is one or not. 

"All is one" is an illusion. But it's the very last illusion that you throw out. 

After this,  you don't have any illusions anymore. And paradoxically, even being illusion free is an illusion.

What about your awareness?  Is that ever affected by any of these puzzles?

@Barna What about "all is a joke" ? 

That's not an illusion, is it?

@Barna The Truth of no Truth is also not True, because it is The Truth, which of course, is not the Truth. 

[MarkusSweden]

@Nahm I like Dodo's explanation/thoughts..

Is absolute truth Both True and False at the same time? And neither true nor false too? And just true? And just false?

And not even those mentioned above?  But at the same time those mentioned above?

Of course it is affected. Awareness is completely intimate with all experience and all knowing. It is one with it. 

The mind separates awareness from the experiences. Then the mind identifies itself with the untouchable awareness so that it can feel safe from life, and it can feel safe from not knowing itself. 

Now I expressed myself from the perspective of "All is One". But it is just a perspective that I've chosen because I can't express myself without a perspective. This perspective and all other perspectives are relative and therefore these are ultimately illusions.

I'm not saying that Truth doesn't exist. I'm just trying to express that Truth is not knowable. Because to know something, first you have to have a perspective on it. You can choose the perspective of "pure awareness", but it's still a perspective. And a perspective is always relative.

Yes! This is why it can't be explained. Words can never be it. We can describe it in many ways and not knowing is very legit

It's okay @Nahm, no need for apology. I don't take things seriously.  

Alan Watts once quoted someone, saying:

I love this quote!
