I can't stop laughing because I spent so long trying to figure out what people meant when they said "stop identifying with your human self" and I would continually tell myself that I'm God/awareness/consciousness etc. While still acknowledging that the "outer world" still looked the same. I didn't realize that acknowledging that was STILL ME IDENTIFYING WITH MY HUMAN SELF because I'm using my HUMAN EYES to look around and determine what's real or not. If I am not the body.. then whatever I "see" out of the human eyes is irrelevant!! Because I am not the human body!! God/awareness knows that they are not separate from anything so anytime they choose to be aware of something, that is what they are observing or experiencing right now. Stop acknowledging anything you see with your human eyes unless it's your desires materializing. Because you are not the human body, including the eyes!
"THAT" experiences, the body doesn't.
• The person you think you are cannot experience anything. Only "THAT" can. "THAT" is experiencing, "THAT" never waits.
• You are not the person you think you are, but you are already what your thoughts are looking for because you are the formless THAT, capable of appearing as any illusion because it is Nothingness by nature.
• It is THAT that can experience everything and anything, it is THAT that is constantly here and it is THAT that is experienced. And you are THAT.
• Look into your true existence, then understand that this existence is not as a person, not as a body, but as the formless THAT. IT transcends all limitations. Instantly.
• It's not about who you think you are, but about going through what you think you are. The apparent illusions are experienced by THAT, not the person you think you are and they are made out of that. THAT is experiencing THAT.

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.
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.
"THAT" experiences, a 'body' doesn't.
• The person you think you are cannot experience anything. Only "THAT" can. "THAT" is experiencing, "THAT" never waits.
• You are not the person you think you are, but you are already what your thoughts are looking for because you are the formless THAT, capable of appearing as any illusion because it is Nothingness by nature.
• It is THAT that can experience everything and anything, it is THAT that is constantly here and it is THAT that is experienced. And you are THAT.
• Look into your true existence, then understand that this existence is not as a person, not as a body, but as the formless THAT. IT transcends all limitations. Instantly.
• It's not about who you think you are, but about going through what you think you are. The apparent illusions are experienced by THAT, not the person you think you are and they are made out of that. THAT is experiencing THAT.

quando Você diz SER ou TER algo, essa frase ressoa muito além do que seus sentidos podem perceber. quando Você diz SER algo, na verdade Você, como Consciência, está dizendo que está CIENTE de ser algo. quando Você diz TER algo, na verdade Você, como Consciência, está dizendo estar CIENTE de ter algo. Você, como Consciência, está SEMPRE ciente de algo. não há como "desligar" essa "habilidade" pois a Consciência é tudo o que o há no mundo. não há como desligar essa habilidade pois Você está SEMPRE CIENTE de algo. Você está ciente de ter pensamentos que não desejava ter, os famosos "pensamentos intrusivos" ou "negativos". Você está ciente de coisas que sequer estão presentes no plano físico, como uma festa que acontecerá no mês que vem, as contas que terá no mês que vem, a academia que começará na próxima semana, etc. até mesmo quando Você não está ciente de algo, Você ainda está ciente de não estar ciente de algo. Você nunca conseguirá escapar disso e o quao perfeito é saber disto? o quão perfeito é saber que apenas a sua ciência pode causar a existência ou o desaparecimento de algo? o quão reconfortante é saber que Você é o ÚNICO na sua realidade que tem poder para "interferir" em algo?
Você, como Consciência, está sempre ciente de ser ou ter algo. Você está ciente de ser uma pessoa que busca por milagres ou soluções para seus problemas; Você está ciente de ser uma pessoa que não tem amigos; Você está ciente de ser uma pessoa que não tem sua aparência desejada, ao mesmo tempo que pode estar ciente de ser uma pessoa que nunca passa por problemas financeiros pois sempre há dinheiro de sobra na conta; estar ciente de ser uma pessoa que está sempre rodeada de amigos; estar ciente de possuir sua aparência e seu corpo ideal desde que nasceu. e por esse motivo, a manifestação é sempre instantânea pois o simples fato de tal desejo ter cruzado a sua Consciência, já o torna tão real quanto aquilo o que seus sentidos conseguem compreender. é totalmente possível que o "físico" reflita instantaneamente qualquer desejo seu, mas caso não ocorra, escolha continuar ciente de que tudo já lhe pertence e como o físico é apenas um reflexo seu, ele não tem outra escolha a não ser refletir aquilo o que VOCÊ já decretou como verdade.
Você, como Consciência, está ciente de estar vivendo uma experiência humana, mas não se esqueça de que não está limitado a tal.
Você, como Consciência, está sempre ciente de algo. então, do que estará ciente agora? de ser uma pessoa que ainda está esperando por seus desejos ou de ser uma pessoa que já possui todos os seus desejos? a escolha e a ordem são sempre suas. então, use-as a seu favor.

How do you accept nothing, for example, waking up to x body and life, you don't want experience it anymore. So you want to change x to y, how do you do it? Let me explain, I'll go within, there's silence so " ", then I wake up and I still see x, why? If I imagined y's life it should happen instead, so why not?
If it's because of misinidentification, how do you stop thinking it is you? You said we shouldn't call the ego a character or her/they/he whatever because it cause separation, which shouldn't be because it are you but then how do you stop thinking it is you?
Another ask, it is about labeling, for example I want it to be another day/hour, I'll go within but then I do knot know what to do, i am within and I start imagining it to be another hour/day yet it doesn't change, why? Or, how you strip yourself from the concepts, if I go within, how I do it? It is not like I think about the "time" I say "there's no more time!" And it stops, because the thoughts are useless and are a illusion, so they have no power. So they can't be helpful..
"If I imagine y's life it should happen instead, so why not"
There is nothing to change. " " can appear as anything it decides to appear as. It's as simple as that. Ask yourself what you've decided and accepted.
"How do you stop thinking it's you"
Well, you stop. That's it. Dive deeper within yourself, and you'll Know.
"I'll go within but then I don't know what to do"
There is nothing to do. And no doer to do it. You decide what IS every moment, no exception. THAT chooses the experience, THAT is the experience.
How difficult was it to for you to decide to send this ask? Was it a long 262728 steps process or just simply choosing to do so?
"Keep peeling off the layers" but why peeling it if the layers are just illusion/unreal? for how long to peel this layer? yet there is no time/measure in " " isn't it contradict?
It's just a pointer.
Keep peeling off the layers simply implies that look beyond every label until there's no doubt left but the naked truth. Yes there is no person to go through anything, and by no means is this 'stripping labels off' a necessity. Like everything shared here, it's just a pointer.
And i never talked about how long, or time for that matter. Time is also a concept like everything else, go beyond it and see for yourself. What I'm pointing you to is beyond every concept, including time and space.
Instead of focusing on the pointer, look where it's pointing you to.
