Q: Because it is dream-like, anything is possible. So there’s no actual problems, right?

A: Yes, anything or any situation is possible. There is no actual restriction or limit. But it seems to the Mind that there are full of restrictions and limits. Yes, no actual problems, but just like in a dream, there seems to be full of problems. This is the magic that only SELF can appreciate. Saying "anything is possible" is an understatement.

Human language can't describe this magic. It's infinitely more magical than you can ever imagine. It is so magical that it can appear to have no magic. It's so magical that insubstantiality can appear substantial.

It's so magical that space-less and timeless can appear as space and time. It's so magical that absolute perfection can appear as if it is imperfect. That's how magic works. The Mind complains that there is no freedom.

But this is exactly how unconditional freedom appears to be. So, "feeling in bondage" is indeed an illusion projected by the Mind. The Mind complains that everything is hard and solid and there are so many hardships to overcome in life. Although such feelings of hardships may appear to be very obvious, it is an illusion projected by the Mind. This is exactly how the magic functions, illusions always appear very real.

appearance of one, a perceived boundary.

"I" think there is a limit.

I draw borders where there are none, reach conclusions

where there aren't any, and create meaning where it

doesn't belong.

I declare what I lack, what I am not, and in doing so, I

form a "reality."

l isolate wholeness, confine limitlessness, and contain

vastness.

With "me," something is formed.

Without "me," there is nothing-everything.

Cr: Nothing in form

You impose limits on your true nature of infinite being. Then you get displeased to be only a limited creature. Then you begin spiritual practices to transcend these non-existing limits.

If your practice itself implies the existence of these limits, how could they allow you to transcend them?

2. We've created a scale so that we can forget its unfathomable scale. - LUCY (movie 2014)

"Awareness" of seeing something -> "The eyes must be seeing"

"Awareness" of feeling something -> "The body must be feeling it"

"Awareness" of tasting something -> "The tongue must be tasting it"

"Awareness" of hearing something -> "The ears must be hearing it"

"Awareness" of smelling something -> "The nose must be smelling it"

Without "Awareness" are there such things?

What was once limitless was limited.

"..It's all the same.

"Humans" consider themselves unique, so they've rooted their whole theory of existence on their uniqueness.

"One (1)" is their unit of measure, but it's not. All social systems we put into place are a mere sketch. 1 + 1 = 2. That's all we've learned.

But 1 + 1 has never equaled 2.

There are in fact no numbers and no letters.

We've codified our existence to bring it down to "human" size to make it comprehensible.

We've created a scale so that we can forget its unfathomable scale.

"But if humans are not the unit of measure, and the world isn't governed by mathematical laws,what governs all that?" -Prof. Samuel Norman

-> Film a car speeding down a road, speed up the image infinitely, and the car disappears.

So what proof do we have of its existence?

"Time" gives legitimacy to its existence. [...] Without "time" "we" don't exist."

I’m going to try to make this post short and sweet.

Despite hearing these terms constantly being used interchangeably in the spiritual community, I have finally realized that consciousness and awareness are not the same at all.

I used to think they were the same and I blindly went along with everyone online who kept telling me they were when I first discovered nonduality.

After doing some deep reflection of my views, I found myself questioning the type of information that I’m constantly taking in from various sources.

As a member of a community dedicated to manifestation and spiritual awakening, I often found myself questioning if these two terms were actually the same. I had the same question playing in my mind repeatedly throughout the earlier stages of my spiritual journey. It just kept coming to me: 

“Is there a difference between consciousness and awareness? Am I consuming the right information from the nondualism community?”

It would not let up. I kept receiving the same guidance over and over from my inner Godself for me to: “question what you are told.” 

I stumbled deeper upon the teachings of a wise and knowledgable spiritual guru who taught the nature of nonduality. He perfectly explained the distinct difference between consciousness and awareness.

I want to share this important information with you because I want everyone to understand the fundamentals behind nonduality and manifestation.

▪︎ What is the difference between consciousness and awareness?

Consciousness is an awake state of mind attached to your subjective sense of identification as an individual in the human experience, meanwhile awareness is the the pure, unconditioned nature of your true divine self as God.

Let me explain this further:

Consciousness is a changeful and partial attribute; a mind state of duality for subjective experiences due to your personal sense of self as an individual.

Your state of mind operates on a subjective perception with your identification as "an individual" attached to it. This identification stems from your own personal sense of self. This is your self-concept, who you view yourself to be.

For example, think: insecure victimhood mentality vs. the confident God state of mind which are two conpletely different states of consciousness.

One state of mind represents suffering, misery, self-doubt, and being a victim to "the circumstances of life", while the other represents a confident, blissful, spiritually awakened perception of one's divine power to create reality.

As you can see from my example: states of consciousness are able to change and adopt new identifications as you change your perception of yourself and your understanding of reality.

Consciousness is subjective and has an individual's sense of identification attached.

Your perception of yourself and who you believe yourself to be shapes your experiences in your world. It is entirely subjective.

This goes all the way back to the teaching of consciousness being the one and only reality.

Now: what is the one thing that remains the same as it operates through different and changing states of consciousness?: awareness.

No matter what state of consciousness you are operating and experiencing your world from, you are simply always aware throughout your experiences.

You are always aware of yourself and your experiences in this life. There is no other way around it. You can't ever escape from awareness.

Awareness remains regardless of your personal sense of perception/identity.

Awareness itself never changes: it is calm, silent, and remains the true divine nature of God itself.

Awareness is simply being aware and it is a purely objective experience of observing. Awareness is purely awareness. Being aware.

Awareness is what you truly are as the infinite, divine source of all creation. Awareness is the true self as God. Manifestation comes from your inner Godself as total, absolute awareness.

Awareness is the limitless creative source of power manifesting and shaping your entire reality through your dominant states of consciousness. 

Awareness completely transcends beyond all states of consciousness and it simply remains the same: absolute, pure, unconditioned awareness.

No matter what, awareness always remains the same. Silent, unconditioned, and changeless. 

Awareness is total, objective awareness.

Pure, unconditioned, silent awareness is the infinite and divine source of all creation.

Awareness just is. Awareness is awareness.

There can be no states of consciousness without the awareness of God seeing through the eyes of the observer, but there can be pure, total awareness without consciousness. 

This absolute awareness is famously known as "the void." This is the home of your true self.

Awareness is the divine creator of all.

Now that we have cleared up the bullshit, I will end this post with some insightful quotes by Nisargadatta Maharaj.

"Consciousness is an attribute while awareness is not; one can be aware of being conscious, but not conscious of awareness. God is the totality of consciousness, but awareness is beyond all-being as well as not-being.” - Nisargadatta Maharaj

"Awareness is primordial; it is the original state. Beginning-less, endless, uncaused, unsupported, without parts, Without change. Consciousness is on contact, a reflection against a surface, a state of duality. There can be no consciousness without awareness, but there can be awareness without consciousness, as in deep sleep. Awareness is absolute, consciousness is relative to its content; consciousness is always of something..." - Nisargadatta Maharaj

"The awareness with wich the thought 2÷2=4 is know, is exactly the same awareness with wich the thought 2+2=5 is known. And wether is the content of our tought, wether it is true or false, right or wrong, kind or unkind, reasonable or unreasonable, makes no difference to the ONE that knows them.

Likewhise are feelings, our darkest feelings and happiest moments, are known alike , by the same awareness, the same "knowing I" .

Just as the person's standing on the platform is present prior to the appearance of the train , during the existence of the train and after the train has passed through the sation , so the witnessing presence of awareness, is present prior to all thoughts and feelings, during the existence of all thoughts and feelings , and after the existence of all thoughts and feelings have disappeared.

Just as the person remains the same before the train is passing through the station and after the train disappears, the witnessing awareness is here before all thoughts and feelings and after their disappearance. Irrespective of their content or quality of our thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions. It is as such to be said transcendant, independent , unaffected. "

- Rupert Spira.

IT'S IMPARTIAL. No judgment in what is being observed. No distinction between right or wrong, good or bad. True or untrue. Just experience.

• 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.

Natural vs Supernatural

Reality vs Fiction

Possible vs Impossible

Dreams vs Awake

This reality vs That reality

This universe vs a parallel universe

Physical vs imagination/mind

Throw it all away! 🗑️🗑️

When you drop all these concepts, things like being a vampire goddess and visiting an alien planet are like grabbing a cup of coffee on a random Tuesday morning. A simple decision.

All experiences are happening now, simultaneously.

No "current life vs desired life" You are not living a current life.

No "my world vs your world" in truth none of us have a "world," awareness is just having 'different' experiences at the same time.

You are the player.

Wake up.”

Crazy that this is from the ending sequence of MINECRAFT😭 it’s interesting so I just wanted to share it

[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.

-No power is above " "

-Nothing can hurt " "

-Nothing has ever happened to " "

You are "presence" itself.
