do you have any hobbies?

ofc :) these days i spend most of my freetime learning languages, reading, watching kdramas, going on walks, exploring the place in which i live…

“Once you realize that the world is your own projection, you are free of it. You need not free yourself of a world that does not exist, except in your own imagination! However is the picture, beautiful or ugly, you are painting it and you are not bound by it."

Nisargadatta Maharaj

It is the person you imagine yourself to be that suffers, not you. It is merely a bundle of memories and habits. Dissolve it in awareness. Think of yourself as momentary, without past and future, and your personality dissolves.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

"At the center of your being you have the answer. You know who you are, and you know what you want". Rumi

physical reality is nothing but a form of preservation of states.

through a continuous inner experience of a given state, you solidify it into a physical world as a physical manifestation. when this physical manifestation exists in your physical world, it's even easier to slip into the state associated with it.

it's a system for preserving states. even when it's physical, it's about the states, the awareness, the inner and feeling-based and abstract. physical only means easier to slip into.

To be identified to your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation. This creates an endless preoccupation with past and future and an unwillingness to honor and acknowledge the present moment and allow it to be. The compulsion arises because the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form. Both are illusions. 

— Eckhart Tolle

for those who struggle

i recently got sent an anon message about frustrations surrounding the law, and how non-dualism hasn't made it any easier for them, but actually just more frustrating to the point where they're officially walking away from everything and wanting to just go back to live as they knew it before any of this.

the truth is that, oversimplification runs rampant in this community. as well as, hiding behind the realities of how difficult it all can be, because people are afraid of affirming that it's difficult or identifying with difficulty... but when we hide from this experience and try to come off as if it doesn't affect us, while simultaneously trying to give out advice, there tends to be more damage than good happening. the oversimplifying isn't the fault of anyone, as the truth is most of this is simple. but in actually living it, it tends to not be simple at all. the ego will fight till the very end to keep things the way they are, even when they hurt us. and that is worth being honest about.

when it comes to non-identification and indifference, this is not meant to be used to as yet another way to pretend something isn't happening or push down your feelings or gaslight yourself. i see these posts like, "just ignore the 3d and don't identify with it and you would have already have what you wanted" ..... this doesn't actually really help anyone, unless you're a person who strives on that kind of mentality. but i think a lot of people need a little more gentleness and realness, otherwise this journey wouldn't have been so difficult and painful. we'd all just get it overnight, but clearly, this community stays extremely active for a reason. because the million ways its already been explained still leaves so many confused and frustrated.

indifference is a daily practice, and it is NOT one that includes pretending something doesn't exist in exchange for getting what you want. it is actually, the extreme opposite. it's by acknowledging what's there... and allowing that to be what it is. the non-identification comes in from how you choose to see YOURSELF in relation to whatever that thing is. "this is painful, this sucks, i hate it... but that doesn't mean tomorrow won't be better for me. it doesn't mean my life is doomed..." etc etc etc. it's this very small flip within yourself, that actually leads to results. not trying to force yourself into believing you aren't even who you are when you've identified as yourself this entire life. remember that god's name is I AM, and literally nothing else.

and doing something to get something else is just... not it. it's time for you to truly want to feel better, regardless of anything else. that's why so much of this starts to get trickier than it needs to be.

non-identification is literally as simple as realizing... you are bound to no past, and you have the opportunity of every future you can possibly imagine. why ? because non-identification is literally just non-attachment. when you're not attached to this idea of who you were, of the struggles you used to face, you're able to allow in different experiences. and y'all... this as simple as being able to say to yourself, "i am allowed to experience something new" and don't let your fear of the unknown stop you from experiencing something new.

here's where it doesn't feel so simple though. how can you just stop identifying with this whole human self when the traumas of the past keep coming back to haunt you ? thats the thing. you don't just stop identifying with it. you let this be a process, a non-linear path to liberation. slowly, but surely, if you keep at it everyday, even when you feel you're only going backwards... one day you will realize how much more free you are. how much more easier it is to move into a new beautiful story for yourself, one that isn't contiminated by your past. but let today be today ! and whatever may come, let it come.

this is why just focusing on yourself is so helpful because if you're simply doing the best you can for yourself and your feeling state, the daily dramas are no longer your ruler.

the gag is that, the more you just do these small daily practices of sitting with yourself, choosing to not engage in the stories you used to identify with in the past, and allow new experiences to come to you... the more easy it gets, the more the truth of yourself begins to show itself on its own. you have to realize that the days are going to keep passing by anyway... so stop counting them, and just commit to yourself.

i also want to quickly note that so many seem to leave out the fact that behind all of this, within the pure nothingness that is also everything. behind our human identifications and all the things we have experienced in our lives, there is unconditional love. and when we actually begin to stop identifying so deeply with who we thought we are, we are lead right back to unconditional love. love in its purest form. so, use love as your guide when things get too difficult. it's the truest thing to who you really are.

you have to let allow yourself to experience the beautiful, despite how strange it may feel. because it's going to feel strange if you've never really experienced it before, and the ego is going to fight because even when it's good, the unknown is still strange and scary. and you never have to be perfect at this to get to experience the things you want, believe it or not. i know that i still have a long way to go on this journey, there may be much more time before i ever get to fully experience the promise in full, but that hasn't stopped me from experiencing the desires of my heart on a daily basis. that's because i used these simple things, these small little flips in how i chose to see life. even if the anxiety never went away, or it was a more difficult day full of tears... this is way more possible for you than you realize. if only you're willing to allow your life to be different than it's always been. just that small allowance, opens up all the doors.

xo dream 🕊

Desires arise because you don't remember your true nature. 

Let's say you found a beautiful stone on the street. To make it yours, you need to bring it home. 

Do you collect things, people at home, because that's the only way they can be yours by right?

But you are not a person in the world, the world itself is in you. 

You are the home for all seeming things and people. Their creator. 

So, every stone in the illusory world belongs to you. It is not necessary to carry it home to indicate belonging.

There's nothing to want when you know that the whole world belongs to you. 

And, watching everything from this position, you notice how things and events that you once seemed to want suddenly happen to you. Effortlessly. 

Any thought finds a place in an illusory "physical" reality, because there is no difference between "mental" and "physical". 

You let go of control of the world, and it begins to obey you. 

Take away the resistance and be happy.

Go with the flow just for the sake of experiment. See what happens.

hope this isn’t a dump but

how can one feel less irredeemable. I made so many mistakes which hurted so many people I cannot seem to feel like a good person even if my mistakes weren’t intentional they hurted others. what can one do with these thoughts of the mistakes I feel like I cannot fully forgive myself for what my mistakes have done even if the other has hurted me.

you have to forgive yourself, because you still have to live your life. theres that saying now “i accept i may have been the villan in someone else’s story” bc its just real life. we have villans in our stories and maybe sometimes we were the villan! have u changed ? are u truly sorry and ready to move on ? maybe u cant change the past (u could give revision a try tho !!) but you can accept and accept that who you were isnt who you are. youre allowed to move forward, every moment is literally a new moment to start again <3
