@beallmind @simplybeingg of course 🤍

Before anyone asks, here’s also a great answer about “direct experience” by @i_amyou____

[aurie @illusionaurie]

Simply see that actually, nothing ever was.

Naturally, you see that you were never a person.

Just BE, Now.

Without label, without name, without story.

Just the subtle noticing of your effortless existence which always is.

Direct Experience.

[aurie @illusionaurie]

This is something I wish I saw when I was first learning about this concept.

Emphasis on this:

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

The question ‘Who am I?’ is not really meant to get an answer, the question ‘Who am I?’ is meant to dissolve the questioner.

[aurie @illusionaurie]

me when I was overconsuming like crazy back then, dispenza, neville, buddhism books, eckhart tolle, philosophy books, neuroscience books, everything in ada’s drive, etc

all for me to find out, through direct experience, everyone is pointing to the same thing in different words

Is it humanly possible to read 200 pages in a single day?

[aurie @illusionaurie]

@saylesscreative Oh right, she was a creator on tumblr called 4dbarbie (deactivated now) who made posts on non-dualism & law of assumption I believe, and had compiled a drive of all her favourite books.

I’m not sure where it is now I might still have it on my phone in google drive hold on

[aurie @illusionaurie]

It is not through gaining more information or reaching more epiphanies that gives you what you’re looking for.

It’s relinquishing all information and concepts, including letting go of the “looking for”.

And then the “I” that is “letting go” also dissolves.

What remains?

[aurie @illusionaurie]

@juyaa2tea pretty much, advaita vedanta / non dualism is an amazing pointer! but still a concept, i share about dropping all concepts as it’s not through more information that helps, but releasing all known information and Being/Feeling into what is

[aurie @illusionaurie]

@hakanisright Yes, and the bible, they’re included.

Though I don’t talk about it much on here as if it goes out of the community people can get very passionate and intense when it comes to religion.

[aurie @illusionaurie]

@Jo03293hn_ax07 Absolutely!!! Yes.

[aurie @illusionaurie]

@Johnny2Fingersz It is not, it seems is though I am a person talking to a separate person, and associates time & space.

The mind is a tool that interprets experience is this or that. And the body gives an illusion of being separate to one another.

When all is One Consciousness.

@dariusdegen

[aurie @illusionaurie]

@Johnny2Fingersz Absolutely not, nothing is as it seems, question what you thought you really know, observe your thoughts, keep an open mind without instantly shutting it down with “logic”, even all “practices” are linked, mindfulness, meditation, yoga, all to the present and BEING without labels

[aurie @illusionaurie]

@alxyrmer observe your thoughts, not only for the reason mentioned in the tweet I linked, but something interesting is notice the subtle link between your mind’s activity and the world you seem to experience, is it really so fixed?

[aurie @illusionaurie]

Silence and stillness is not “stopping” thought.

It’s recognising you are the silence / stillness / awareness aware of those thoughts.

And then you see through the thought, realising they are in fact nothing, empty, an appearance of consciousness

[aurie @illusionaurie]

@alxyrmer non-dualism essentially is what is described in different ways, oneness/not two, but once you read non-dualism you can’t hang on to its every word, remove all labels, if you don’t label yourself with a story, past, identity, what/who are you? don’t force an answer

[aurie @illusionaurie]

@boredaloo all books are just pointers, don’t hang onto their every word, but the most memorable one is neville, others I like to skim through sometimes are conversations with god, ramana maharshi who am I, untethered soul

[aurie @illusionaurie]

and you realise in fact there is no ego and never was

you only SEEMED to be fighting something, this so called “ego”

only for you to break it down into realising it’s just thought, and those thoughts are able to dissolve, as they never had any substance or reality

[stella 𓃠 @silenceof1ambs]

i love it when the ego just defeats itself lmao
