Heyy, I Recently Found Your Blog And Found Your Posts Very Helpful :) And I Was Wondering If You Could

What do I mean when I say “illusion”?

I’m not saying you are hallucinating as if you were on drugs or you need to stop seeing things, it’s more like one of those drawings where you can see a rabbit or a duck, but in reality it’s just ink.

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.

If you were asked to describe, *just notice it* how will you describe it?

Well it isn’t something that you have to put effort in to notice because you see it every day. It is you, your surroundings, your thoughts, other people. The source of everything is everything you perceive right now and more. There isn’t anything specific you have to do to “realize” it because you can never not be it. If you want something to do though I suggest stop labeling things in your mind when you look at the world, and question all concepts. Thanks for the ask and I hope I answered it correctly 💙

How did you used to keep reminding yourself that you're "   ". How long did it take to reidentify with yourself from the character's perspective? Would love to hear your experience

It’s not a conscious reminder like an affirmation, it’s more like an automatic snap back into reality after remembering you are the consciousness projecting everything. Reidentification is instant as soon as you see what you are, it’s not a gradual process. The process is how long you can HOLD the identity. We will all eventually have full devotion to Self, it’s the ending of the game. I am at the phase where I still have a knee-jerk reaction of identifying with some thoughts but I have the permanent background of Self that I can always fall back into.

I think it’s way easier to fall into identification with the mind than the body, because it’s subtler and not something you can physically touch, but the “voice in your head” and images you get are still something you observe and not you. Thoughts should be treated as objects just like everything else you observe.

How to see through the illusion of memories? I can't seem to drop them

You don’t need to force them to go away, just don’t identify with them when you see them and they naturally fall away from your awareness. Identification is always a choice.

It happened again

Idk if y’all care but I want to share another experience. A vein in my hand was hurting for no reason and I look through the pain to find the source. Again there was no source and the pain dissipated. The same goes for emotional pain and thoughts, look for the source and they disappear.

I stepped away from tumblr for a while to really seek my Self fully and put into practice what I knew because I was tired of constantly re-identifying with the body. You can’t experience it a few times and ruminate over it 10x more than you experience. It’s only simple when you experience, NOT when you think about it. You have to experience it as many times as you need until it becomes your permanent identification instead of getting swayed by the body/mind again. So anyway I started doing guided meditations to release emotions first. Now I don’t really feel the need to do a guided meditation I can just acknowledge and release an emotion as soon as it comes up. Now I am more so focused on abiding in Self, consistently returning home, because when you return to your Self all the emotions and thoughts leave, even if just for a split second. Now when I start getting invested in storylines I’ll automatically snap out of the hypnosis and it’ll go quiet lol. And even when my mind doesn’t automatically go silent, I can just consciously observe it being noisy. It’s funny when you step back and observe, you realize the mind is like a tape recorder, just looping the same thoughts again and again, usually about the past or the future. When you realize the thoughts are just an observation and you are the observer, it really sounds ridiculous, like a broken record. Remember the end goal is complete surrender and death of personal identity.

“Getting”Desires 🪐

Guys when you think about something and desire it you are creating 2 characters, one who is desiring and one who has something. The truth is one does not have to change to become the other even tho you make it seem like Character #1 wants to become Character #2 it’s just part of the play. You are always Character #2 because both the characters are in your mind. Don’t fall into the trap of becoming/getting. Only identify with Character #2 right now in your mind (the source of all creation) do not try to become them bc you are still being Character #1 by doing that.

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 🙄.
