Yeah but I don’t really get your explanation.. so rn you’re reading my answer but it’s not a person reading it’s just Brahman reading Brahman ??

Exactly, but “reading” is a concept

Helpful Swami Vivekananda quotes:

No reason to stop living life

Y’all just because you discovered ND doesn’t mean you have to stop “living your life” and do nothing. Go follow your dreams, you can have a career or go to college or be a scuba diver idc, you don’t have to spend all day trying to figure your Self out (a mistake I made) because you’re always your Self regardless of what you do or don’t do. Don’t be afraid to take risks and do whatever you’ve always wanted to do. We’re here for a reason (at least I believe that), let’s live a little 🤪

I think it’s easy to get into the doomer/nihilist mindset when you take anything too seriously lol

hii!! so, i really understand nd! the only thing im stuck on is how to deal with intense emotions, because it messes the character up so much, like when "I" start feeling insecure, and worrying and it just feels so painful and distressing and yeah... any "tips" ? thx :)

Insecurities are caused by what we think other people will think of us, but that is all a creation of the mind. Remember that your insecurities and worries are only in the mind, not in reality. Come back to reality (which says nothing), come back to the present moment.

Ngl I find ur pointers too simple and straight to point!! Thank yoy.

Ty I appreciate that. Non Dualism is not supposed to be complicated or vague at all

Yeah but flying is happening? Bc I saw a blogger say that we think it’s us who’s walking and talking but walking and talking is just happening no one’s doing it

I said “I’m not a person who’s flying or not flying.” It’s Brahman experiencing Brahman. Is Brahman flying or is it just being itself? Flying is an illusion. I’m not that blogger anyway so my interpretations will be different.

You answered it very well

I got we don't need to realise since we are it already so why is this illusion so indulged in this illusory searching? 🤔

And all these doubts and the questions about " ", is nothing but " " it seems so hard to drop 🥲

I know it seems like you’re struggling but that’s because you’ve probably become obsessed with trying to drop something. I had to completely stop consuming ND content for like a month to stop being obsessed. Take a break and you’ll realize that you were always at the finish line and the journey was an illusion of the mind.

You are already invincible, invisible, indescribable, with no life, no personality, no thoughts, and no anxiety.

You see a body, thoughts arise and you call it “me” and “my thoughts” (because people told you it was you) but where is the “me” who is thinking this? What even is a “me”?

(Notice how thoughts cease when you search for the “me” 🫢)

You could say you are the brain but what is keeping the brain alive? There has to be something prior to neuronal activity. Be THAT and throw away the sense of “I” which is the root of all suffering.

I used to think “I” was the highest state, but problems can exist where there is an “I”. If there is no “I” there is no “I have __” or “I am __” that is the start of all trouble 🙄.

Is everything really possible?

Impossible and possible are concepts kept alive by your imagination. I could say it’s impossible for me to fly or it’s possible, but neither is true because I’m not a person who’s flying or not flying.

Who invented the concept of flying, who is the person who wants to fly, and who made flying impossible? It’s all in the mind.
