I discovered that there is no difference between me and everything around me

[Ampresus]

Hello everyone. I got this, insight I think, yesterday during self-inquiry. As I was sitting there, doing the practice, I noticed how empty I am. How everything is so lost. Gone. Empty. I observed the observer, but the observer was of course a simple void. Endless. Then I opened my eyes and saw void all around me. Everywhere. It was so strange and I started to laugh. I laughed really hard. I felt so, one, with everything around me. The world was me and I was the world. We were one. I was a part of it, it was a part of me. We were one. The only seperation seemed to be my body. When I dived deeper into this, I couldn't get to anything. Any idea what I experienced?

Nihilism?

@Ampresus That's nonduality. Now the trick is taming that Ox.

Your body?

What is a body? Does it really exist? Or is it a conceptual construction? Inquire deeper into what this "body" really is.

There is no difference between "your body" and a coffee table.

By just reading this, I already feel void.

@CreamCat Do you even know what self-inquiry is?

@Leo Gura Wait, does this have to do with your ''The Ten Ox-Herding Pictures - Zen's Stages Of Enlightenment Explained'' video? Sorry I haven't been able to watch that one.

I will inquire into this deeper. Thanks.

I vaguely know. As far as I know, it's about finding one's true self.
