if all is awareness

[Jack River]

I was never personally attracted to non-duality. I was more attracted to understanding the phenomenon of duality. To understanding that of experience as it arises.

The issue with this kind of metaphors and views of non-dual they can unfortunately create unhealthy dis-attachment as well.....  because its not really about not responding to a plane crash or feeling for a loved as well.  I know that in my experience and hearing others it can make the mind/person will non-responsiveness.

I've seen the "dis-attachment" literally save ppl's lives too. Once was during a fiery car crash pulling passangers to safety. Another was during a boating trip on a rapid river where the boat flipped. And another was at depth while scuba diving. Chances are if you attach yourself to it your screwed. Just saying. So it can be a healthy thing too because awareness and instinct will take full control.

regardless you will still be the duality being experiencing all the depression,anxiety and stress. 

I use to be depressed/anxious, stressed. That is simply a reaction to what-is. For me that all ended early on. When I saw that the subject was not distinct from the objects of experience. That allows for a deeper exploration into the nature of SELF. Freedom first then we can go beyond. 

The depression/anxiety/stress has its root in FEAR(isolation-effort).

It’s more like the knowing/understanding why it is you (how it’s there as what is)

anyways thank you all for your responses, note: i am officially mind fucked, because i can't aware awareness- i can only be it lol, so i'm just going to ground myself in the present moment even more or in some flow state, forget being headlessness, its not sustainable long term.

When we see that every step we take is away from ourself we simply stop moving. 

This is in reference to control/effort/volition/will/becoming. For me insight into the whole of subject/object divison allowed for the freedom of non-action, which is paradoxically UNDIVIDED ACTION.

@Serotoninluvbut is this not because everything is awareness, regardless you will still be the duality being experiencing all the depression,anxiety and stress.

Ultimately, you will keep ending up at Everything / Nothing. As soon as one word or thought arises, a distinction arises. All words and thoughts are distinctions. The mind is trying to separate a thing from the whole. This creates misalignment. There is no escape from the whole.

Imagine if a person believed each of their 10 fingers were separate beings - each finger had their own personality, opinions, needs etc. And each finger was in conflict with other fingers. The pinky thinks the thumb is so arrogant and the left forefinger gets all the attention. Sometimes the ring finger teams up with the middle finger and bullies a pinky. . . This would lead to tension. If the fingers realized they were part of a higher order, interconnected being, things would flow much smoother. The fingers can work together as one hand. The hand can work connected to the muscular, skeletal and nervous system. Now, those fingers can do magnificent things, like play Flamenco Sketches on a trumpet. . .  Does this higher order being still have 10 fingers? Of course. If one of the fingers is cut, will the higher order being clean the finger and put a bandaid on it? Of course. Yet, there won't be the nonsense bickering between fingers.

Similarly, each of us is inter-connected. We are like neurotransmitters to each other within a higher order being.

Yes this is quite astounding. People simply become capable of things beyond their own beliefs

@Aakash Got a warm break in the weather today. Gonna take advantage of that and head out to the woods and disappear for a while.

[Aakash]

@Serotoninluv @Jack River  so your both saying it doesn't matter where you go, you end up in the now. 

even action is non action similarly

 the higher order being is still present even if your not directly aware of it 

and so you don't need to end up doing any action to search for it, it is here with you now. 

letting go and being in the now (without a phase of time) is still being the higher order being.

You ARE it.

@Serotoninluv so in the end the point is  just to live life, watch it unfold in the now and then just let awareness do its own thing?

The end is the beginning. Nothing.

At the human level, all sorts of stories about purpose and meaning in life can arise.

[Aakash]

@Serotoninluv fair enough thank you for all your responses
