Every Thought You Have Of Other, Is A Hindrance Of Non Duality.

[Hero in progress]

This comes from direct experience, it happens all the time, might be the same for you, if you look into it for yourself.

Thought will come, could be imagination, meaning its being made up or it could be a memory, a projection into the future, or whatever it my be. 

A thought comes about another person, when thought creates other, in doing so creates self, in order to have other first must have self.

Pretty simple, this is so vital you start to become conscious of this, happens all the time. This is helping create psychological duality. 

Me & other

Other & me

We as social creatures are always thinking about others. This happens by itself, its only a problem if you make it a problem, just be aware of it.

In fact this is what most relationships are is between two images of each other.

Me & my mum for example 

I have image of her, she has image of me, my image is what I think about her, based on past, my interpretation, beliefs about her, ect

And visa versa.

See that? It can be very subtle might need a enlightenment experience or two to start to really see how often and how subtle this can be. 

This was a very simple example, but could help increase your awareness.

Hope it helps
