Becoming conscious of the absolute

[How to be wise]

So I’ve been doing The Work of Byron Katie for four months, and these days I get many glimpses of the absolute truth. For example, during one of my sits, I became conscious that only what I’m percieving right now is true. That means that the rest of the world doesn’t exist, because right now it’s only a belief, not in my direct experience. I also became conscious that even the room that I was looking at is not true, because that was just a belief too. I wasn’t actually looking at a room, I was only looking at a form of colours and shapes, and without my beliefs they meant nothing.

In another of my sits I became conscious that I was awareness. Actually this experience happens many times when I do the work. I became conscious that I wasn’t the body, because I was only experiencing it as sight and feeling. That created a distance between me and my body. I became conscious that the world that I was experiencing this moment only comprised of sight, sound and sensation that I was experiencing.

Pretty cool, do you not think, given that I’ve only been doing The Work for four months. A reason to consider taking up this practice.

To take it a step deeper: the idea that the room you were looking at is not true is also just a thought, with no more relevance than a bird chirp.

Talking nonduality is really hard since language is dualistic.

@How to be wise You are doing well. A great example of The Work. Thank you.

@How to be wise Good work!

I have to add that I really don’t have any spiritual talents. I’ve done Leo’s self inquiry for three months and Kriya yoga for four months. The results I got from The Work is astronomically higher than the results that I got from all of those other practices combined. Do not overlook this gem called The Work!

@How to be wise The 5 senses see only the paint on the canvas". It's the canvas that needs to be explored.

I have done self inquiry from the list you mention, but what supercharges my practice is listening to the psychedelic 5-Rupert-Spira-DMT on the nature of consciousness.

question about this.

 

while u were doing that - at a certain point in time, I, in my expereiinece or awareness did not dissapear... then why / how can one say that the rest of the world does not exist... 

 

it does not 'exist' for you? or just does not exist... do "each of us" have our own separate universe which only contains our own experieince?

 

for example, i cannot see you in my current direct experieince, does that mean you do not exist? but i know clearly somewhere u do.. and when u read this u will reply from your end

 

do you see my question? i just wanna understand this concept.. thanks in advance

[How to be wise]

@SoonHei that’s a belief. Whether the belief is true or not is up to you. But you need to distinguish between what is in your direct experience and what is a belief.

[SoonHei]

@How to be wise we are all having the infinte expereince from each of our point of views

 

from each point of view, only that experieince exists and is a whole. but the others who appear in your experieince, there is a point of view of that too

 

thats why its very likely that each passing moment is a movement into a new reality/universe and the others who appear consistently in our daily reailty just flow along that same experieince as you... but from their own point of view, some other version of reality may be true for them

@SoonHei You as you think you are, ie ego, someone living in an environment, is not what you actually are. Direct experience reveals what you actually are.

I as I actually am is direct experience. There is no me and no others and no where else in direct  experience.

The dream we live in is entirely self created (projected). In the dream consciousness limits itself (via thought) to a mind which is (thought to be) in a body that is (thought to be) in an environment - all of it mental projection.

Do you not have similar night-time dreams.

And then wake up.
