Hi! I Have A Question, I Know There's No Such Thing As Continuity So How Do I Stop Recreating The Same

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

You must remain constantly in that awakeness. The individual was harassed by sorrow and he awoke, and met Himself. He who has realized Himself in this way, became God. Such a one is the "Incarnation of God." Only He is victorious in this world. Only the one who is fully convinced that He is the Self becomes and remains victorious.

To the anon asking about money so much. The so called money can happen in whichever way you want.

If youre anything like "my" bundle of thoughts you're in the part of infinity that likes to keep a smooth narrative. I woke up one day and instead of being relatively broke my coinbase account had $278k and I also had like $1.2 million in my brokerage account, as well as $12k in my regular bank account. I still had my apparent regular job, house, context, just more money. I did write all this down one night and decided Id wake up with such. Tbh, it's a non event and I no longer experience a bundle of thoughts that needs SUCH a smooth apparent narrative. This is just an example for you. Money is actually boring now...but I feel you and yes it is possible to "dream up" money in whichever way you want. You don't do it with your thoughts though...it's all like this imprint "within" so go within and find that "imprint" that is your entire "dream" imprint = that, " "

Also, don't even think about it from the bottom - up, this is a top - down thing. Everything works it self out accordingly. Dont bother with what "others" will think, it'll all work itself out from the top to the bottom. "You" are at the top...the rest is just a dream.

Thank you for your insights and great explanation, anon🫶🏻 I love the way you phrased things, it’s really refreshing :D the expression “bundle of thoughts“ makes so much sense also it’s really cute somehow?

Okay bear with me with this question because I’m really confused and I just want to understand. So I read in non dualism that dreams, imagination and reality are the same, if I see them as the same what will likely happen? Like what will change? Will the world adapt both imagination and dream and see them as one?

This is a good question! :-) Dreams, imagination and reality are just appearances, all the same. None of them is more 'real' than the other. None of them is what it really seems to be. There is no difference at all. Dreams you have at night are no different from your waking life. Both are just dreams. Yes, your 'whole life' is also a dream.

When you realize that everything is the same and all appearances are just you, you can still live your life. The illusory world will not disappear. But you will "see" behind all the illusion. You will become lucid in your waking life. You will still dream at night, but these dreams will also be lucid. You don't have to sleep at all if you want to. Sleep is just another concept that people think they have to do. All of that is just an illusion.

Guys, please read this carefully. You are not a human, you have never been a human! You are not the thoughts and not even the mind. You are 'looking' at yourself (the world) through the eyes of a human, but you are not the human. Self is just entertaining itself through a human. You are the whole seeming universe. Your body is the whole universe! The whole universe is your consciousness. You are every rock you see, every star in the sky, you are the fries you like to eat, you are your parents, you are even your favorite celebrity. You are everything you see. Every experience is just you. Every 'reality' is just you. Everything is just consciousness. That's why nothing is ever what it seems to be. Your dog may appear to you as your dog, but the source of the dog is your consciousness. Even the human body is a form of consciousness. Nothing will ever be separate from the real you, but you think you are a small person in such a big world. This is wrong. This only perpetuates the illusion of lack and separation.

When you become aware that you have a car, for example, and then ask yourself where it is in your physical reality, you create an illusion of lack for yourself. You identify with the body/mind that you are not. You limit your true nature. The false self is always aware of lack. Please stop putting the physical above the imagination. I've told you so many times that both are imaginary. Both are just forms of your consciousness. It is the senses that make you believe that the physical is real. But even the senses are only a form of your consciousness. Every form of consciousness is not what it seems to be. Only you as awareness are real. Return to the source. You will see for yourself that the imagination is the same as the physical reality.

It is just a shift in perspective.

So I saw this and decided to give it a try too on a fun example 😂 I woke up and my cat always walks away when I go to greet her in the morning and usually I'm like awww 🥲 but this time I imagined myself as my cat and thought about how much I loved Vanessa and wanted to snuggle with her lotsss. After getting into that knowing feeling, I let it go and forgot about it. Until now (like an hour later), when I'm trying to meditate and my cat is suddenly super loving on me and sitting on my lap which she hasn't done in ages 😂 I was almost about to think it didn't work at first, cos right after I imagined and returned back to being Vanessa, my cat was going about her business as usual ignoring me lol. But I just ignored all that (both thoughts and the dream) and decided to let it go and not think about it anymore. I think that's key. Also not taking it seriously helps with letting go (it's all just a dream so do whatever and have fun, right?). But like help, I need to pee rn but I don't want to disturb her (I think she plans on napping on my lap) and I also don't want to undo her loving on me 🫠

Aww that's so cute 💕

You pointed it out well that is really not that serious, you really cannot take anything seriously the more you experiment and see the truth because,

Well, it's not real!

As Ada said in an ask sometime "you people don't take me literally" 🤣

This is def what makes and unmakes it!

Your attitude is the fact. - Nisargadatta

The way you demonstrated this you can demonstrate everything.

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 " ".

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.

I get it now. So it's about moving through experiences for the sake of the experience. For love of creation itself. Our ego desires are inspiration but they are not the end all be all. Egos are a beautiful creation, imo. I love them. It's important not to become obssed with our creations that we loose our true selves tho.

Like getting to a place where youre ready to move on from one ego experience for the next day ego experience, rather than resistance for the current experience itself by way of ego echoes...and only because you're blocking the true self, the true vehicle of creation.

Like the ego isn't even necessarily real lol. It's an echo chamber of past creations. The true self is real, is life itself. Like moving on from one painting to the next...the canvas and the paint aren't really alive...but they can be moving...just like music...

Ahh this is perfect. It's the only thing that makes sense. Freedom is the only thing that makes sense!

Yesyesyesyes💕💕

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.
