I Have Something To Share. I Debated Making A Throwaway Or Just Sending It To One Of 4dbarbie's Backups

What would you say to someone who's new to nd\av and doesn't wanna read too much to overconsume and just literally get it to the point ?

The pointers I'd share are:-

This person you believe yourself to be, is an illusion. The mind, and the body are unreal and illusory.

Experience is only ever through Awareness, and that awareness is what you are.

There is no listener of sound, just the sound. There is no one seeing, only the sight. There is no one feeling, only the felt. And this sound, sight, and what's felt is all awareness. It's all YOU. So senses are another illusion, just like your body.

There is no past and future. Only the NOW. Because Awareness always is. It never was, and never will be.

It's always THAT(awareness) experiencing THAT(Awareness). THAT(awareness) is the experience.

Everything you see around you, is just you in different forms. Call it whatever you want, consciousness, awareness, THAT, " ".

What you are, cannot be put into words. It's inexplicable.

This is something you will only believe in and understand on surface level for as long as you keep seeking, the moment when it all becomes clear and evident is when you go within and question the nature of your reality and ponder on these pointers.

This realisation is experience based, so experience it directly, by going within. KNOW yourself.

There is nothing to do. Just be. And observe everything around you, notice THAT. Notice the presence behind it all, the awareness behind this play going on, realise it's all YOU.

I think that's all I'd like to share because these are the key pointers that helped me when I was starting a month ago.

If you wanna read some more in detail:-

The character doesn't exist.

There is no thinker of the thoughts.

Everything is an illusion.

That's just the basics but trust me, that's all you need. JUST BE and GO WITHIN. Ask yourself questions, observe and notice. Do not get too indulged with the illusion, instead be aware and present as you notice yourself just being aware of it all. Rest in that awareness.

I really hope this helps, but you still feel like it's not enough you can go through @infiniteko and @mysticsreblogs @penguinpeace (for the best reblogs of the posts).

Remember to not overconsume, and that words and labels are very limiting. Take it all as pointers, pointers which point to your true nature, to " ".

What I have told you is now fully present in your Consciousness. Are you convinced that all is Brahman, as I have told you? Is there any doubt still in your mind?

If you have not followed, I will tell you again. All of this world appearance is only Life-Energy, Chaitanya. Everything, including your body, is Brahman. One who is convinced of this should never have duality in his mind such as "I" and "you." Really, this duality does not exist. When "I" is gone, that which remains is the state of Brahman. There is no duality of "me" and "you" from the beginning. Whatever you see with your eyes is a form. It is seen by you, and that is not your Self. When it is experienced that something is not your form, then you become formless. Naturally, the notion of "you" will disappear along with the sense of "I." This sense of "I" is the ego, but as your form is nullified, that ego also disappears. Unless there is some form, the ego does not have any base. Without a form, there is no place for it. Now you have become formless as you were originally. There is nothing that can be tied to the formless, nor is there any way to bind it. The formless always remains free from bondage. It has no bondage. That is why it is called unattached, and egoless. Now, the meditation, the meditator, and the object of meditation are all gone. If the meditator is not in existence, who is there to be meditated upon? When one knows this, he has no karmic bondage.

Action is the activity of Illusion and it belongs to the individual, the jiva. It is the jiva's concern to think, "I will get benefit out of this action," or "I will get some auspicious things." Good and bad are all part of the Illusion. For a man of Self-Knowledge there is neither good nor bad. Who will do the work when no benefit is desired? Action is meant for getting some benefit. Who is the entity that receives the benefit? That which was the jiva has gone, and he has become Brahman. The customer has gone. The owner has remained. He is whole, total, complete. There is nothing wanting in him. As long as one is proud of one's actions, he must be considered to not be certain about the Self. He still has doubt. Knowledge with doubt is false. Since you are not certain that you are yourself God I have told you this. When all of the Illusion is basically false, what harm is there if there is a multitude of false things in it? When everything is false or untrue, where is the truth in it? And what is wrong in the Illusion, if the "I" is proved false? Both heaven and hell are false. It is all nothing but imagination.

Nothing can be equal to Self-conviction. When this Self-conviction is truly established, that is Paramatman. Self-conviction should not waver at all, it should be unmoved. That is the Almighty God. Unwavering conviction is God. By conviction, further conviction is developed, and finally tremendous power is achieved. Self-conviction should increase. If it is wavering it is of no use. While there is no steady Self-conviction a huge meteoric catastrophe is going on, which is our own imagination.

There must not be any intention to prove true, that which is not true. The conviction that you are the Self should be made stronger. The fall from the Self is the worst fall of all. It is necessary that you should have very strong conviction that you are the Self. A great Brahmin once said, "Until the Sun accepts my offering, he will not set." The story goes like this: It was evening. A Brahman who was well versed in the Vedas and was a great ascetic, was asleep. As it was evening and his wife tried to awaken him saying, "The sun is about to set, the right time of performing sandhya (prayers) will be missed." He said, "Let me sleep for some more time. The sun will not set so long as I do not get up." This was his actual experience. The body is but our shadow. You should not be proud of the body. That is why a man who has realized Brahman has not one iota of respect for rituals. All rituals are performed because of fear. Only those who are afraid perform various rituals. Loss is the father and the mother of fear. The fear is that one will suffer a loss. If one is having no fear why should he perform any actions? Fear is the reason for all actions.

One who is fearless has neither fear nor karma. The fearless man is beyond the body. He is formless. Karma is born out of doubt. Doubt is the seed of karma. To be doubtless means to be seedless. If roasted rice is sown, it does not grow. Similarly, karma does not give any gain or loss to one who is wise. When the Self is realized as formless and bodiless, God is known to be formless. Such a Realized One, is himself formless. Formless is his town and formless is his house. He is his own food and maintenance. Everything is the Self. This is the achievement of Reality that is imperishable.

hello Fleur, I hope you're doing okay and having a great break. !!!

I know there's still about a month until you come back but I'm leaving my success story in your inbox regardless, lol :D

my journey with the law hasn't been easy, I've gone through the 5 stages of griefs not even kidding, Sammy Ingram who honestly fucked up my life and just many other disgraceful things but I won't get into that and instead I'll jump right into the success.

I finally FINALLY read Neville (a round of applause would be highly appreciated) and Edward + only stuck with one blog, yours.

I unfollowed all the blogs I used to follow, except yours; I took a screenshot of your posts that made it click for me, deleted Tumblr and applied.

(posts I saved were: "don't force just be" and "consciousness is the only reality")

In just 2 weeks of me applying, my life has honestly CHANGED. and I'm not even exaggerating, I made a list of what I wanted for this month, gave it to myself in imagination and moved on with my life, because let's be honest... would I be in Tumblr over consuming 24/7 if I had my desire(s)? NO!

the day after I gave my desires to myself in imagination, and just KNEW I had them... I started seeing my reality quickly shape into what I had written in my list, now I KNOW people are going to ask me about time.

and I'm just going to leave this right here.

the more you focus on "I'm still waiting for my desires to reflect" the more waiting you'll have! because the 3D only REFLECTS.

now onto the things I've manifested ! :DDD

-my parents giving me a Tesla for my birthday.

-a FREE trip to Venice, with my friends and family also for my birthday.

-huge sums of money out of nowhere.

-being a social butterfly.

-knowing how to drive + getting my license.

-20/20 vision.

-hairless body.

-my parents being more sweet and caring towards me.

-my sister being fully free from depression. (huge one)

-my desired boyfriend, with everything I've imagined and more.

-being able to shift instantly, I just came back from a 2 year shift at Hogwarts! :,)

-free clothes, and I'm talking about a BUNCH of expensive clothes.

-living THE life, parties every weekend, going out with friends, etc.

-blonde hair overnight.

-eye color change.

-bigger lips + perfect teeth.

-always being the perfect student, and having a perfect school life.

this is just some of the things I had written on my list, I'm so very thankful for you and your posts.

thank you! <3

i’m so sorry for the late response love, this was about a month ago! regardless, congratulations on your beautiful success. ♡ wishing nothing but the best for you.

nondualism: my understanding so far

So essentially, I am not this body, I am the one who drives it. I am the consciousness/awareness. These thoughts, circumstances, and beliefs, are not my own. I am just the observer. This entire reality is my creation and there is no separation between what I imagine and this illusory, physical world. Everything is imagination and the only reason I am 'seeing' this reality over another right now is because I am placing my awareness on being of this reality and this ego, when in actual fact, I am nothing more than the observer of both. My awareness has become so attached to this particular body and ego that it no longer knows itself to be pure consciousness, but instead, only to be of this body and ego, which is NOT true at all. How can I be this body when I am also observing this body and the thoughts this body/ego has? To let go of this particular body/ego/reality, I simply need to detach, noticing that these thoughts are not mine, they are Maddie's - the ego, and I, am I Am.

I Am the dreamer dreaming this dream but at any stage I can change the dream and choose to become aware of a different dream. In order to do that, I need to detach from knowing myself to be Maddie, and instead recognise myself to be I.

From an observer point of view, it would make sense that I am the creator of everything. I am not in the body but instead the body is in me. Taking away the need to attain something instantly materialises it, particularly when we come to the realisation that everything IS, right now and that I AM everything. When I realise my true power as the creator, it makes sense that anything I imagine would materialise instantly - because there is no longer doubt, no ego to overcome, no second guessing, just pure awareness and knowledge of being I Am that I Am.

Success story (not the void)

Maya, as I promised you, I'm writing you my success story. It's quite a wild one, so please bear with me.

My journey started during the Angel era, when I was struggling with the void state. I tried everything I could think of to get out of it - every method, every meditation technique, affirming, intention, lucid dreaming, and even coaching from various LoA experts, including those not so well-known. I was desperate for a breakthrough, a key to unlock the life I deserved. I would have done anything, even ate dirt if that was what it took.

At that time, my family was going through a rough patch. My abusive father, a police officer, divorced my mother and left us with nothing. We were homeless, living out of our car, while my dad was living a comfortable life. He had a new girlfriend, a younger woman, and continued to be respected in his job. Meanwhile, my mom, who was a victim of his abuse, was labeled a liar and lost everything. I was filled with rage, towards him, towards the world, towards the jury that declared him innocent. I wasn’t safe in this world especially being homeless, women and children are the most vulnerable to sexual and physical assault. I was scared, unsafe, and had nothing aside my mother and siblings.

I wanted to enter the void, not just for myself, but to give my family a better life and to bring justice to those who had wronged us. I was at a point where I was harming myself, but I couldn't give up because my family needed me. I remember messaging you, Maya, pouring out my story, begging you to help me enter the void. Despite your initial hesitation, you responded with kindness, sharing some personal experiences, and reassuring me that I wasn't alone.

Your words gave me hope. You made me realize that many people who find the law have gone through, or are still going through difficulties. If they could overcome their struggles, so could I.

So, I decided to let go of the void. Not because I didn't believe in it, but because I had elevated it to a status akin to a genie that would magically solve all my problems. When non-dualism and other loa concepts were introduced, everything finally clicked. I realized I didn't have to be angry, or try to be someone manifesting master, or do all these fake methods. I have always known that my family and I were meant to be happy.

For a month, I went through a process of shedding my ego. It was uncomfortable, and there were times I found myself fighting my own thoughts, telling them to shut up. I was separating my ego from myself. You, Maya, had once said that this process was similar to withdrawal symptoms of someone quitting drugs. This thought comforted me. I was becoming someone new, my old thoughts weren't there anymore.

Living in my car, I began to see it as my mansion. My mom's crying turned into laughter, my siblings' whine for food turned into jokes. We pretended that we were living our dream life, and after a while, my siblings joined me in this game. We would come "home" from school and yell at each other, pretending that the house was so big that we needed walkie-talkies to communicate.whenever I needed to steal food it was because we owned the place and can take whatever we want, not because I had to.

One day, we parked at a field, and I started imagining my life. I tried to become the clouds by thinking I am and accepting that my consciousness could be whatever it wanted. I got my siblings to do the same. We became the flowers, then the sun, then the stars at night. Even though physically I was still in the car, mentally and emotionally, I was living my dream life.

When I woke up, I was in a large room. It was decorated to perfection. I heard my siblings running around, throwing toys, and my mother laughing with a man, who's laugh alone sounded like gold. I explored the house, and it was beautiful. There was no yelling, no violence, only laughter and love. My mom introduced me to her boyfriend, and he was holding a newspaper that read that my father had been arrested for domestic crimes and fraud. He was losing everything.

At that moment, I realized that I had done it. My mom was happy, beautiful, and loved. My siblings had plenty of toys and clothes, and our house was filled with love. My family and I were finally living our dream life.

I have been living my life for about a month and now, and it has been blissful to say the least. I go to a well known private school and I am the top student. I am apart of many clubs, and also spend a lot of time volunteering at domestic shelters, and speaking to victims of intrapersonal abuse. I have made friends of people who volunteer with me, so it’s nice to have people who care about the same thing I do.

I am also apart of my writing club, and found comfort in reading and writing and have decided I want to be an author once I graduate. I have always wanted to be a writer but they don’t make enough money often. But now not only do I know I will be successful but my family has enough money to last us multiple generations plus some more. My Bio father had gotten much to what is coming to him and he will be going to jail. I hope he drops the soap but I have let go of my anger with that barbaric fool. So has my mother who has also recently gotten engaged and I get to be her maid of honor. She has a friend group of mothers from school and I have never seen her happier. My now father treats her like a goddess and treats everyone like that. He spoils my mom and us with gifts and luxurious trips. He also spoils the help such as the maids and cooks and never treats them below us. He does not expect anything from my mother except for her to be happy and spend time with us. He is kind selfless loving and respectful. the real definition of a man. I adore him so much and I’m so happy to call him my father.

I find great joy in the little stuff. I love cleaning my room. My bio dad was a hoarder and the house was always a mess because my mom was the sole provider though my “bio dad” made much more. He instead used it on hookers, alcohol, and drugs. Pathetic excuse for a man I know. I love going shopping, as I don’t have to look at the price tag. It feels normal, there was no shift. This is just life constantly changing. I have 5 pets and spend great time with all of them, and they are all so loving and adore me. I love school, and doing my homework, taking tests, assemblies etc. i love talking to my teacher about my ideas and how I can improve. They’re always so encouraging and kind, and I have never experienced that. I also loveeeee having crushes hehe. I never had time nor the “looks” for that prior to these past few months, but I receive a good amount of attention from a lot of sweet man and the “what if” aspect of having crushes is fun. I just love being a teenage girl, something I was not always able to say. I love the world and the people in it, the creations I bring and make, and all I did to make it what it is. I never worry what happened to my old self or life. It died, it doesn’t exist I am here right now with them and the old story is gone. Like an author erasing a part of a story she doesn’t like and never producing it, I did the same. My one true reality and I am so blessed.

Also big thanks to bloggers like @awarenessis @starbursts777 @consciousnessbaddie for introducing this concepts to Tumblr in a simple and kind way. Love to everyone in this devoted app.

Congratulations on your astounding success story 🥹 Your journey is a testament to the power of the human spirit, and it's an honor to hear about your transformation. This is beautiful wild tale, but it's your reality, and it's absolutely beautiful.

Your story is a powerful reminder that we have the power to shape our reality, no matter how dire our circumstances may be. It's a testament to the power of belief, determination, and the human spirit. I'm incredibly proud of you and wish you and your family all the happiness in the world.

Why realize Pt. 2

<also response to the question "What happens if we die non-realised?">

King Bharat said, "The whole Earth is mine, but when I die, I will belong to the Earth." This means that because of attachments, one again becomes bound. It is therefore better to surrender everything from the beginning. The object before the mind at the time of death decides what will be the nature of next birth. The desire directs the next progression after death. Therefore do not get involved in the world, because as soon as you deviate from your own Being, you will fall into the trap. Don’t forget your true Self. Your own body is sure to fall one day so why fear its death even today? One who is free from the slavery of the world is the real Saint. Recognize that the entire world is perishable. Let it perish today instead of tomorrow! Don’t care for it! Don’t bother about this world of the five elements. Only if you live like this, will all of the eight Siddhis be pleased with you.

The nature of the powers of your Being is eight-fold:

(1) The Power to become minute like an atom,

(2) Power to become huge,

(3) Power to be very light in weight,

(4) Power to get whatever is desired,

(5) Power to have control upon animate and inanimate things,

(6) Power to wield tremendous strength,

(7) Power to enjoy any pleasure of the senses as wished,

(8) Power to make anybody do as you wish.

Your life as it is, is very petty. However, if you remain in unity with your Self, you will get everything as soon as the will arises in the mind. Those who do not deviate from their Being are "My True Devotees." Therefore, remain so, with all of your mind, body, and speech.

Morning, 25-11-1934 (Nisargadatta's Notebook? Entry, while learning from his guru)

THANK GOD I WAS LAZY :)

“Sitting in silence is more potent than any words you can ever hear” -> Robert Adams

“All that is required to realize the self is to be still. What can be easier than that?” -> Ramana Maharshi

It’s in silence where your problems just dissolve try it ! It really works -> Robert Adams

When you say shifting with intention, do you mean like when you set an intention to be aware of ur reality, you visualise? Because you talk about imagination and physical reality is the same and plus unless you can shift realities physically, i imagine it will be imagination so is it that or both?

An intention is simply a decision like buying a coffee to go. I usually go to bed, think about what I want to experience the next day, and if I feel like it, I choose any desired reality or the one I'm currently experiencing, and the next day it happens. One thought is enough. I don't visualize, I don't meditate and I don't do anything else. I just decide and that's it.

As soon as you give up the duality that the physical is something other than the imagination, everything is instantly. But when you think that one is more real than the other, you experience a time delay. You think physical reality is real because you perceive it with your senses. The senses are also imaginary, and you are not the body. You are only aware of it. If imagination and physical reality are the same thing, then anything you want is instant, even in the seeming physical reality. (What LoA people call instant materialization; I don't like this definition but I think it easier to understand).

How do you shift on command? Like what is the process you go through?

Well, honestly, there's not much of a process. As I said in my pinned post, it was all about changing my mindset and focusing my awareness on the fact that I'm already a master shifter.

When I want to shift to one of my realities, I close my eyes, I simply think, "okay, I want to be at [insert X reality here]" I think of where I "left of" and I'm there. I know its going to happen because I feel it in my heart, really strongly. I don't force the feeling obviously, its something that happens naturally. I know that I shifted because... well, imagine you are in your room, you close your eyes and go to the living room. Even if your eyes are closed, you still know you are in the living room, right? Also, as I said, there's no process. When I shift from one reality to another, there isn't like... lights, or weird visions or any "symptoms", its instant. One moment I'm here and the next I'm there.

The same for wanting to wake up in my reality. I remember where I "left of", what I'm going to do when I wake up and then go to sleep.

One time thought, I actually shifted with my eyes open. I was using my phone, and I was like "wait, I could also shift even while doing something. I don't have to stand up or have my eyes closed". So I started imagining using my phone in one of my other realities, and my vision started to shake so fast, like when I say fast I mean FAST, and the two realities were overlapping (like when you overlap two images you know?) and then this reality started to fade while the one I shifted to became clearer and clearer. I repeat, this process was ridiculously fast, it all happened under seconds.

Thank you so much for answering questions but I do have more:

1. You said you set an intention to shift and it happened right away, how did you manage to do that?

2. I want to be in a process of seeing imagination and physical reality as the same, how will I be able to do that? And if I do, will I then experience instant manifestation?

3. While seeing your imagination and physical reality the same, for now if I want to shift to a reality do I experience it in “imagination” to act as if it’s an instant shift or will it automatically be in a physical reality?

I went inwards, questioned and noticed everything around me and remained as much as possible in this awareness. Just letting go of everything. Once you know your true self, the world is your playground. It comes so naturally and effortlessly. Because the playground is just you and it has never been anything else. 🤭 People believe they have to programme and use methods because they are human. We are just pure awareness. We are the background. We will never be anything else.

yes! The physical reality will instantly adapt to your imagination. you must accept that the physical reality is the same as the imagination. There is and never will be a difference. You think because of your senses that the physical is more real. Everything you experience in your imagination is happening in this moment. You must give up the belief that the physical is above the imagination. Give up the belief that the senses/mind dictate what is real and what is not. Have you ever had a dream where everything felt real, and then you woke up and thought to yourself: Well, it felt so real, but it was just a dream. Why did it feel real? Because you give the senses the importance of dictating what is real and what is not.

When you close your eyes and visualise your DR, it is REAL! You were there as awareness. But when you ask yourself ‘Where is it?’ you start to identify with the body/person and that's what stops you. YOU are NOT the body. If you think about how good your comfort character smells right now, then you've really experienced it. I have a feeling that many of you think that if you imagine something, it's fake and you have to do it just to see it in the physical reality. Why should you as awareness care about the physical or the imagined when you are aware of both. Both are the same to you as awareness. One isn't realer than the other.
