"$50k would be nice"
*know* that its already there - thoughts might echo, theyre fake tho
Know that it's there like you know you have a hand or a toe - even if you have an intrusive thought that your toe is missing, you KNOW its still there
Even if you have an intrusive thought that your $50k is missing, you KNOW it's still there
What is this KNOW? ITS *THAT* - once you have an idea for an experience just KNOW SO. ALL THOUGHTS are an illusion, all reality is an illusion. You can still KNOW of these things to experience a specific illusion.
Ignore the intrusive thoughts, fall in the KNOW, into *THAT* which is "yourself" JUST *THAT*
This is all you are, *THAT* is all you need. The rest is a (creative) illusion.
You know the illusion of the body
You know the illusion of your family
You know the illusion of this reality concept
You know you have eyeballs
You know you have skin
You know you have ears
These are all KNOWN givens in your current illusory experience.
KNOWING is ALL you need. *THAT* is who you are. You don't even have to fight intrusive thoughts/ego, fake. You don't even have to observe them, not real. YOU KNOW they are occurring. YOU KNOW youre calm šš„°š

effortless knowing.
How do "I" know "I" exist right now?
Okay real talk here. This journey isn't always easy, especially at the start when you've just learned everything and you're identifying with an ego. Near the beginning of my journey, I came to understand a lot of the teachings intellectually and even instinctively. There was only one thing left. To realize Self. And I would keep trying with all these practices but felt like nothing was "happening" (even though intellectually I already knew there was nothing to achieve since we are already Self!). It was frustrating (but of course! I was still looking at all this from the identification of the ego).
Then one day I was sick of trying, sick of feeling desperate, sick of being on this goddamn mental pilgrimage, that I decided to give up on trying altogether. I already AM Self. From that day on, I decided I would always identify as Self and never again as the ego. And that's when things started naturally unfolding without me even doing anything and I gained more understanding experientially. Probably an unpopular take (for realized gurus lol) but I also threw away self-inquiry as a practice because I found it to be the least helpful for me personally and why do I need to ask "Who am I" when I already know I Am?
Abandon all imaginings and know yourself as you are - Nisargadatta Maharaj
I stopped seeking. I stopped trying. I stopped asking questions (including self-inquiry yay!). I stopped doing any practices to "get" or "understand" or "realize" anything. I stopped caring about understanding more of the teachings or gaining more understanding intellectually. I stopped thinking of Self-identification as some goal to reach, something that I need to progress on. I stopped waiting for anything to happen and just enjoyed being in the Now. I didn't realise at the time and only now upon reflection I realise that I gave up on all ego activities on spirituality lol. All of that is the ego looking for something to do and trying to achieve something. Only through my experience, do I now understand more deeply the things that realized masters have said. E.g. Robert Adams said something like "stop trying and seeking to be liberated and you will be because you already are". We've imagined our prisons but we are actually already liberated and always have been.
I decided (because it's true!) I already AM Self, it's not something you need to become (or understand in order to become). And because I AM, there is nothing to do but be.
edit: I found this passage a day after writing the initial draft of this post and Robert Adams said the same thing! But giving up was something I was led to by listening to Self. Truth is Truth :)
There is nothing you can think of in this Universe that can tell you what you are. It is beyond words and thoughts. You can never with your ļ¬nite mind understand who you are. So do not try to do this. It works in reverse. It is when you actually stop thinking about who you are, or wanting to know who you are, and you stop analyzing, and you stop trying to ļ¬gure it out, that the truth about you is revealed. Self-Realization from Silence of the Heart - Robert Adams
Two things I didn't stop doing: observing as the witness consciousness and sitting in silence in the awareness of being. But both "practices" are things I as Self naturally do because it's my very nature! It's not the same as when I used to identify as the ego and did them because I was trying to achieve something. Sitting in silence & stillness is literally my favourite activity now haha. I'm not sure whether to describe witnessing my ego progressively dissolving or merging into Self because both feel correct? Ah but that doesn't matter. Another thing I stopped caring is to label things as well and just let everything be and unfold on its own - there truly is so much peace and beauty in just being Self! I'm only trying to use words to describe this to share with others in case it's helpful for their journeys but of course words are limiting and you can only understand this when you experience it yourself.
There is nothing to get, only just BE. And it is soooo freeing and wonderful once you understand this. Give up on trying to make the mind and ego understand you are Self, that is a fruitless task. Leave them be. Stop trying to make things happen and just let things be. The more you stay in silence with this understanding, the more the light of awareness shines through and the more you will experientially understand this. Allow things to be and happen on their own, including the permanent identification with Self. Have no desires, expectations or judgments and just surrender to the Now. Just keep being Self.
Only look at who you are, over and over and over until it becomes the permanent identification and replaces the ego. - 4dbarbie
Remember to listen to your own Self above all. Everything else is simply a guide to point you towards Self. You are your greatest teacher! So listen to your Self and do what feels right for you.
Your own self is your ultimate teacher, the outer teacher is merely a milestone. It is only your inner teacher that will walk with you to the goal, because he is the goal. - Nisargadatta Maharaj

After hitting my first milestone here (whuu!) Iāve decided it would be fun to give extra love to some of my personal favorites in order to give both the story and the writer a bit more recognition and appreciation for their hard works.
I have plenty of more fics to rec but Iāve downed it to these stories. There are many MANY more amazing works and authors outside of this post that I have not mentioned here, but it doesnāt mean I wonāt mention them next time.
So yeah⦠Thatās all I have to say.

This is a lot longer than I expected and has a lot of Jungkook fics oml Iām so sorry, Iāll try better next time.

just grinned at a tree because it was so green. what being inside all day does to a mf
Because I am unoriginal as fuck. The dialogue prompt list was fun to make and I had a lot of fun with answering the asks! Again, I am giving full credit to whoever made any of these aus or prompts.
Our teachers keep pairing us together even though weāre polar opposites, but I canāt deny that youāre really cute.
Weāve been best friends since the fifth grade, so could you please pretend to be my fake (boyfriend/girlfriend) to get this weirdo to stop creeping on me.
Please donāt be mad, but I found a box of stray kittens and a puppy who thinks itās a cat and now theyāre living with us.
I am now the officiant at my best friendās wedding, so donate money to my unofficial church because I need to pay rent.
Youāre really cute and keep ordering black coffee at my shop, but whenever you take a sip you look disgusted. I just wanted to know if you were okay and wanted something a bit sweeter.
Weāre both college professors and some students have both of our classes and are now trying to set us up because we both get really dorky and passionate about certain subjects.
Iām a super villain and youāre a super hero. I know weāre supposed to be enemies but would you like to get coffee sometime?
Ā I know weāre best friends and all, but could you maybe be my date to my cousinās wedding to prove to my judgmental relatives that I can find love and that I wonāt be alone for the rest of my life.
We have to do a group project about ancient Rome and I really donāt appreciate that youāre making me do all the work, so Iām making you buy me food to make up for your douchiness.
Youāre my soulmate, so thereās a tattoo on my body where you hate the most and now Iām worried because I have a tattoo that covers my entire upper body.
Weāve hated each other since we were children but here we are pretending to be a couple because my parents want me in an arranged marriage with some rich old guy, and you could even tell thatās fucked up.
Hi, Iām your guardian angel and I can see why you need guarding because who are those guys who were picking on you and how did you get that black eye? But, wait a minute, Iām now in my teens and everything is a mess, and how are you still alive?
Youāre the new student and Iām the kid who gets constantly picked on and beaten up because Iām the smartest and I have weird habits and hobbies. Now, youāre defending me for no good reason, but Iām not really concerned with that. What I am concerned with is where did you learn to fight like that because I feel like the government would like to use you as a secret weapon of some sort.
You come from a small town that Iāve probably never heard of and youāre really trusting of people and this is your first time youāve ever been to a really big city. Now, Iām making sure that you donāt end up dead and politely guiding you around the city, but Iām surprised now because youāre making friends with really dangerous people. Also, how are you now friends with the boss of a really big mafia?
Iām a new demon, and Iām assigned to you. But, youāre really depressed, so instead of making your life worse Iāve made it better. So, now Iām slowly redeeming myself and becoming your guardian angel. Oops.
Our kids are best friends and really want to be siblings, so now theyāre pulling a Parent Trap.
Iām really stressed out right now, so donāt question why there are 20 muffins, seven cakes, and about 10 batches of cupcakes.
I will always believe that you are too good, too pure, and too innocent for this world even as you shout death threats in traffic.
Weāre both in detention because I punched you for stealing my mechanical pencil, but I also punched you because youāre cute but an arrogant asshole and I just needed a reason to give you a black eye.
Youāre my neighbor and we both go to the same university, but you get drunk and throw huge parties every weekend, so now Iām pissed off because Iām trying to study for exams. So could you stop being an asshole during exam week. Thanks.Ā
