Relax!
"What if things don't go my wa-"
Relax đ§ââď¸
"But I'll be doome-"
Relax đ§ââď¸
"You don't understa-"
Relax đ§ââď¸
"You bitc-"
Oi. Relax đ§ââď¸
What can you do by panicking? Nothing. What can you do by asking multiple questions? Nothing. What can you do by Cursing the bloggers out? Nothing.
I might feel a bit hurt though. Probably. I guess.
Just relax. THIS is already IT. The immeasurable entirety of LIFE. The unfathomable entirety of YOU.
This moment is INFINITE. This is all there will ever be. This is where you'll always be, no matter how hard you try to teleport yourself into past or future. Why? Because the past and future doesn't exist. It's just a thought.
So, Relax. Sit back. Watch. Observe. Be still for a moment. Declutter your head and take a deep breath. Not in a "You need to empty your head of thoughts" way, but in a "Just let it all Be" way.
It's been so long since I was Actively here. Here's a reminder for you, a simple pointer.
Relax.
My favorite quotes by Neville! đ
âChange your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live.â
âAn awakened imagination works with a purpose. It creates and conserves the desirable, and transforms or destroys the undesirable.â
âAssume the feeling of your wish fulfilled and observe the route that your attention follows.â
âNothing comes from without; all things come from within - from the subconsciousâ
âDare to believe in the reality of your assumption and watch the world play its part relative to to its fulfillment.â
âIf you judge after appearances, you will continue to be enslaved by the evidence of your senses.â
âImagination and faith are the secrets of creation.â
âOnly as one is willing to give up his present limitations and identity can he become that which he desires to be.â
âTo desire a state is to have it.â
âTo be conscious of being poor while praying for riches is to be rewarded with that which you are conscious of being, namely, poverty. Prayers to be successful must be claimed and appropriated. Assume the positive consciousness of the thing desired.â
âYou are already that which you want to be, and your refusal to believe it is the only reason you do not see it.â
âClaim it; it will respond.â
âFeeling a state produces that state.â

If youâre down in the dumps about still being where you donât want to be, Remember itâs already done. Take yourself to the wish fulfilled and stay there.
My favourite analogy is The Train Between Two Cities. I saw this a while ago {whether it was pinterest or reddit, i have no clue} and it really opened my eyes. Iâll pick two cities like i did in a post a while ago. Letâs say youâre on a train to Milan from Paris. Once you get on that train you know being in Milan is inevitable, youâre basically already there. No matter what, you can read on the train, talk to other passengers, eat to your heartâs content, no matter what, youâre going to end up in Milan.
You are on the train. No matter what the 3d shows you, itâs inevitable, you will end up in your dream life. This analogy has really helped me to remain in the sabbath state aka the state of the wish fulfilled when it comes to any new desires I may have. They are no longer desires they are just mine, theyâre yours.
This analogy can be applied to vacations too, once you get on the plane to Greece, youâre practically already in Greece. You donât doubt for a second no matter what that the next time you step off the plane youâll be in Greece, in fact, youâre not even thinking about the how, you just know that the pilot is taking you where you paid to be. You sit there without thinking, your just there, eating, talking to whoever, reading a book, staring at your new aeroplane crush, you donât care about the how or why youâre just enjoying the ride because you know that trip in Greece is yours.
Thereâs already apart of your mind soaking up the mediterranean sun, with a colourful drub in your had. Thatâs why youâre so excited. There is a part of your consciousness already living the life you want, there is a part of you there. Take whatever method youâre using on a pedestal, whether it be inducing the void state, waking up with everything with SATS, or whatever, itâs shouldnât matter to you so much because you know itâs yours already.
Once you take it off a pedestal it will be 100% easier for you. Especially pure consciousness, itâs just a measly meditation when you arenât obsessing over it, and youâll realise that. Itâs not the ticket to your dream life when youâre already there. Why would you crave a ticket to a place youâre already at?
The train will stop at Milan NO MATTER WHAT. The plane will land in Greece NO MATTER WHAT. Your desired life is yours NO MATTER WHAT.
Itâs inevitable, just place your awareness there.
how can air conditioner has the same consciousness as me? but i do understand/get it if someone from hong kong has the same " " as me from ireland??
âHas the same consciousnessâ? So you have what you are? đľâđŤ
Those are a bunch of empty labels. Youâre not getting the point.
You are :
Not the body , you're aware of it.
Not the mind, you're aware of it.
Not the memories, you're aware of it.
No personality, this is part of the mind , you're aware of it.
All of these are seemingly always changing, wether it is the body, mind, personnality, life , all. There is one thing that never changed, never will. The "I" who is aware of all of those seeming changes.
If you go back to zero, and nothing is left, only blank, who or what is aware of this blank also. What is aware of this "I"? There is this pure presence. You know it.
This is not an object, that you can conceptualize, this is not a thought, it is not an interpreation. It is the one in wich all of this appears. Don't try to visualise , to think about what it is, to search it. You are IT , you are aware of everything, of that seeking, that feeling of being stuck , all.
And this everything is actually also you. Because you are Existence itself. Being (I would even say the verb itself , not the word ,what the verb points to ). You appear as divided , as many different forms but you are not limited by any of them, they are not real in themselves, you are only experiencing yourself. The only thing there is to "them" is your awareness of it.
Because you are pure Existence itself, appearing as many.
That way, nothing is actually affecting You. You are the screen of existence in wich all of this movie appears. You can enjoy the movie with its ups and downs knowing you are all of it and it's only just a movie (inspired by Swami Sarvapriyananda). You don't need to do anything, to change anything. Just understand what it already is.
Oneness- Direct Experience.
What does non duality mean to you? Does that mean two, or does that mean ONE?
And if there's only ONE, doesn't that mean that you can never 'not experience oneness', that is your SELF. Awareness. THAT. " ". Or whatever you call it.
When you say you aren't having direct experience, or you're waiting for that direct experience, what it looks like from my pov is that ONENESS, Awareness is waiting to experience being Itself.
Is it Cassandra pretending to be oneness, Or is it oneness expressing itself disguised as some Cassandra?
" " waiting to experience being " " ?
That doesn't make sense, because how can you not experience being yourself. When that's your Default nature, and you're all there is?
The freedom, and direct experience you so desperately seek wouldn't be found through your endless search. Because;
You are that freedom. You are THE experience.You are all Around you. Because you are all there is.
It's only a matter of noticing. So stop seeking, start noticing. Be aware of this subtle yet very evident truth. That's all there is to do.
Stop seeking. Start noticing.
That's all you have to 'do'. And before you ask me how to notice, there's no how to. You are always Noticing/Observing without any efforts. That's your innate nature. The truth. You've always been aware regardless of everything. But were you aware of being Aware? Now that's the question. That's where all of our pointers, point you to.
That's the only thing you need to "do" (Sorry for lack of better words) . It's effortless. Trust me. And before you overcomplicate this, let me add;
Noticing = Observing = Being aware = Just BE.
They're not different. Any thought, and I mean any thought you have doesn't matter. It's irrelevant. "I don't get it" is a thought, "I'm still waiting..." is a thought. "Life's so unfair.." is a thought. Everything, no matter what happens and whatever thoughts come up. Let them be.
Just notice and let it be. Know, and have faith that you're beyond it all. Because you ARE. You're free.
There's no where to be. There's nothing to achieve. There's nothing to do. And there's no person to do it.
Just BE. And Notice. Be aware.
Noticing is the innate energetic effect of Infinite Radiance. Noticing is not exercised from a "me" or from a "person". Even if you want to stop noticing, you can't do so because noticing cannot be turned off. During the natural process of unstoppable noticing, it will automatically reveal that "a me" or "a person" is just a concept imagined by the Mind rather than a concrete existence. It will automatically reveal that you will never be able to find a concrete existence named as "a me" or "a person", let alone "others". - Being_Is_IT on Twitter.
Ps:- It's not a method. Just something you've always been doing, without being aware and getting too indulged with the illusion. And this is a pointer, pointing you to notice this simple thing.
Dissolve into Nothingness
If you're not going to ask me how to breathe or blink, then don't ask any "how" questions related to "dissolving into nothingness or being", just do it. You know how. All i've been reading is how how how, are you guys not sick and tired already? Step out of your own way, you're glued to one narrative, to suffering, just move.

"Suppose you had all time, all eternity, and all power at your disposal. What would you do?
I believe, after a while, youâd say to yourself, âMan, get lost!â
Itâs like asking another question: Suppose you were given the power to dream any dream you wanted to dream every night.
Naturally, you could dream any span of timeâ75 years of time in one night, 100 years in one night, or even 1,000 years in one night. And you could dream of anything you wanted. You would make up your mind before going to sleep, saying, âTonight, Iâm going to dream such-and-such.â
Well, naturally, you would start out by fulfilling all your wishes. You would experience all the pleasures you could imagineâthe most marvelous meals, the most entrancing love affairs, the most romantic journeys. You could listen to music such as no mortal has ever heard and see landscapes beyond your wildest dreams.
For several nights, perhaps for a whole month of nights, you would go on that way, having a wonderful time.
But then, after a while, youâd begin to think, âWell, Iâve seen quite a bit. Letâs spice it up. Letâs have a little adventure.â
And so you would dream of yourself being threatened by all sorts of dangers. You would rescue princesses from dragons. You might engage in notable battles or play the part of a great hero.
And as time went on, youâd dare yourself to do more and more outrageous things. At some point, youâd say, âTonight, Iâm going to dream in such a way that I donât know Iâm dreaming.â
You would take the experience of the dream as if it were complete reality. And what a shock youâd feel when you woke up! You would really scare yourself.
Then, on successive nights, you might dare yourself to experience the most extraordinary things, just for the contrast youâd feel when you woke up. You could, for instance, dream yourself into situations of extreme poverty, disease, agony, or suffering. Youâd push the vibration of suffering to its most intense pointâthen suddenly, whoop! Youâd wake up and find it was, after all, nothing but a dream, and everything was perfectly okay.
And you would say, âWow, man, that was a gas!â
Now, how do you know thatâs not what youâre doing already?
Sitting here, with all your problems, your whole complicated life situationâlistening to lmeâit may just be the very dream you decided to get into.
If you like it, thatâs great. If you donât like it, wonât it be fun to wake up?" ~Alan Watts

No one is Here
[very unusual for us but here is a longer post inspired by YourHighSelf. We'll never post another long one again]
Don't believe that the observer is over here, and what's observed is over there.
In this very moment, "THAT" is your nature. And don't believe me because you can only be aware of the idea of believing something. YOU don't believe anything. YOU don't have opinions of anything. YOU don't label things good and bad. YOU don't have an idea of how things should be or how things should feel. YOU aren't confused, YOU are aware of the confusion, YOU aren't seeking, YOU are aware of the seeking. Thoughts are just happening, they are happening to no one.
But I am saying that what YOU are is here and has always been here regardless of what practices you do, this takes no time because time doesn't exist. Right now is the only experience that can be experienced. You will never awaken in the future. You will never get there one day. You will never be enlightened one day. So let's stop focusing so much on what you have to do to get there. As if there is somewhere to go or something to do to be what you already are. You don't have to do anything to be. Let's begin to focus on simply realizing that you are " " Emptiness right now, accept what you are in this moment.
You're simply realizing what never changes; " " Your sense of Being or Existing. You're realizing the truth.
You don't have to be a monk, you don't have to be a teacher of consciousness. You can enjoy life in any way you want. It's a dream, it's your dream.
you never left heaven, just turn around and realize you've been on the inside looking out.
