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.

i say all this to say that when people think as though upon 'realization' life becomes boring, you have to become a monk on a hill, or adopt a nihilistic point of view, while possibly understandable at first, it now gives me pause. no one in this space is telling you to do any of that, that's not the point. i even sometimes think that trying so hard to cease and "reject" these seeming things "because suddenly now it's not real" reinforces duality more often than not where there is not, reintroduces seriousness. it, like most other things, is simply not necessary. it's all just a play of awareness, it's all self, why go out of your way to seemingly reject it.

i like to think about it using this analogy. people who seemingly lucid dream take the dream as illusory and yet still seem to experience them the way they do anyway because they can, because it's fun, because they enjoy it. it doesn't have to be serious, it being an illusion doesn't negate that for them. it's the same for everything else. it's not boring, bleak or somber just because they're aware it's a dream, in contrast it's actually quite freeing. as i've seen often in some of ko's older posts that's stuck with me: "enjoy your dream now." it's all fine, do that if that's what you wish to do.

Posts related to Nd but definitely not dismissing desires 🥺

There is nothing much to post about it, but I'll just say this;

Every experience is immediate. Right now is the only moment that ever was, ever will be. Manifestation is a non event because nothing was ever lacking, both are just ideas arising in the present. The deeper you investigate, the more you'll notice that you cannot tell what it is that you call "wanting", you cannot tell what it is that you call "fulfilment", you think you do but it's just that, a THOUGHT. An idea. And when you say that you "don't have" what you want, that's also just a thought that you're experiencing immediately. It's very difficult to talk about something that's completely experiential, but I hope I'm getting my point across. This is freedom already, you can experience all that you want right HERE. NOW. You decide whether it is what you call wanting, waiting, or something else :)) it's so simple, it's ridiculous really. Don't make it too hard, you are the source, infinitely experiencing itself, remember who you are <33

All is just effortlessly unfolding, label-less experiencing. You label it as something you don't want, you declare your imagination as something you DO WANT, immediately experiencing "lack" (an idea). There is no difference between imagination, dreaming, daydreaming, reality, Every experience is immediate and it's YOU who decide what to make of it, you decide what you experience :))

Here's a concise and much better said piece by NIF:

“‘There’s no individual or others,’ so it’s only god or infinity? who is choosing if there is no I? am I just a robot at the whim of some grand destiny? do I have no will or choice? am I powerless to infinity? wait but there’s no I…so how am I choosing? who is choosing? how am I supposed to live now? is this just boring since it’s all one? what does infinity want from me? Is infinity indifferent? where am I? if I’m not really here why do I feel this way?”

I’m sure these types of thoughts go through many people’s minds. Do you see how there’s no real answer ultimately? Do you see the circular logic that never arrives anywhere? Do you see how what is is the only stability? It’s only nothing, it’s only being.

It’s all open ended, limitless, no actual conclusions found anywhere. That’s why any and all positions are insubstantial. You can ask infinite questions like these and it never makes a difference. You’ll arrive at yourself every time, and see that you never left.

Everything is Knowing; the Self— A non dual perspective.

Before I begin, I heavily implore new readers and those who might come across this by chance to leave your preconceptions of what non duality is for the time in which you read this and keep the most open mind. Non duality is not a practice neither is it a law nor a religion, it is nothing new— in fact it is so ancient to our infinite Being that we willingly chose to forget the truth of Reality. Whether you choose to believe it or not, Everything is non-dual.

If you closely examine into your current experience, the one you have and observe right now of what is going on and who you are, you would notice something immediately; that the very core of your unique experience has a quality so normally foregone and that is the Knowing. Knowing is the very thing that allows for ‘something’ to even be ‘something’.

This knowing is precedent to all the seeming things of life, it is within your knowing that you can touch the ‘stuff’ of experience. Consciousness is contained within Knowing, Reality is contained within Knowing, Shifting is contained within Knowing, The laws of manifestation are contained within Knowing. The very fact that a circumstance, phenomenon or object can be qualified as something reveals that there is the Knowing and something Knowing of it as such.

Not only is Knowing prior to, it is that which existence itself relies on; meaning if there was no Knowing of xyz then can you have an experience or can you even fathom xyz? This alone proves that Awareness/Knowing is not just the mere quality to be aware or know but something transcendental altogether.

Notice now, the infinite inconceivable quality of Knowing and the inability to know anything other than Knowing. The more you try to arrive at something other than what is known— you arrive at something else that is also Known. Experience itself is contained within Knowing, within Self.

The reason Knowing is Self is because the fact previously established that every apparent thing/ existence is dependent upon Knowing and hence the reason for its apparent existence shows how even to try and qualify or define Knowing as Knowing would also be Known and hence the reason for its apparent existence

What am I trying to say? I'm trying to demonstrate how Knowing is the ultimate factor onto which anything can exist. We've already previously established how everything has the quality of Knowing, everything is contained within the Knowing. So that means that for anything to even be, it would have to be known, and that means that we cannot directly confirm that what we know is the actual truth, because if anything can be within Knowing and hence ‘true’ then that means there is no concrete Reality/ Existence.

This is not even philosophy, this is just something you can notice right now. Are you able to have an experience separate from the Knowing of that experience? Are you able to conceptualize a phenomenon without the Knowing of said phenomenon? The answer is a plain and simple no.

So if even Knowing is Known then what is thing through which all appears to exist? To clearly pinpoint it as something such as the universe or god would be to Know of such a conclusion but we are not looking for a conclusion we are looking for what Knows. What Knows cannot be an object of Knowing so any sort of clear label arrived at would be inaccurate but you know one thing that cannot be overlooked? Is that in the center of Knowing is You.

Not you the person, remember anything that can be pinpointed is no longer Reality but rather an instant result of Knowing, but rather You here is what you remain as when all the stories and labels fall away, pure Being is You— pure Being is the Knowing, the Self, the Awareness.

Do you understand truly what this means my loves? That absolutely nothing is Real now, but that does not in anyway take away the apparent existence of everything. So long as Knowing is, everything will appear to be. That is why there is absolutely no 3d or physical reality, I’m not being metaphorical or poetic. I mean right now the world around is Knowing apparently divided into different things and conclusions.

That is why when people ask me “how do I change my reality” “how do I shift” I do not give a direct answer because the only difference between success and failure is the Knowing. If you Know right now of beauty and love — then that is indeed what the apparent reality IS. Not will be, IS.

You do not need to assume shit, assuming implies continuity, a future, a change. What I’m talking about is as direct as simply looking in a mirror and seeing a reflection, what is Known IS what IS.

The same way in which the story of who ‘you’ are right now and as unsatisfactory is Known, is the same way you can Know a seemingly different or better story. NOW

Read that again

There is no process, there is only Knowing; The Self.

So this means as the knowing/awareness, it’s the illusionary false self that we think we are but aren’t that gets caught up in the things that appear within awareness? When the truth is that what appears within awareness doesn’t define who we are because we are only knowing. Which means nothing isn’t really denied to us because people who are in bad situations think that situation is permanent because of believing that they are this false self, which is only made up of memories, that are thoughts that appear within awareness.

If they were to ask themselves, what is this current moment without labels or memories, they wouldn’t have an answer because you can’t put a stamp on knowingness.

This was really impressive anon

Y'all need to read this one. SO GOOD.

None of this is to negate any experience, but to see that ALL experiences are like a dream and not actual. What's actual is simplicity. Seeming experiences are fine, a beautiful heritage - if you will. But they are empty, unreal and constantly in flux. What's "real" is yourself: formless, timeless, absolute

Seemingly "reality shift, choose, do whatever." There is no such thing as negating any seeming thing anyways. But the point of these tumblogs is to metaphorically express the simplicity of this, eternal now, self, infinite radiance(again whatever you wanna call yourself) that you ultimately are. We aren't talking about the seemings of seemings. You see? Anyways, the seemings of seemings are a dealer's "choice" 😉

“So I can feel-?” Yes.

“So I can do-?” Yes.

“So I can make-?” Yes.

“So I can have-?” Yes.

“But I can-?” YEEES. THE ANSWER WILL ALWAYS BE YEEES. Wanna be Spider-man? An artist? A doctor? Have natural neon rainbow hair? Grow wings? Be a hairless cat? A mermaid for a week? A princess for another? Then decide so, you’re free!

Tell me, if you know you can breathe, would you be asking questions about “doing so”? Or just decide it because you know you can? It’s the same here! If you knew your own omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience, would you be asking ‘How to’s and ‘Can I’s? Exactly.

So you mentioned before if I didn’t interpret it wrong, that with LOA it’s usually trying to manipulate a “yes into existence” kind of situation, whereas with nonduality/actuality, it’s more of a straight “yes” coming from actuality itself.

This got me wondering, because I personally came from LOA first and I’m digging deeper into nonduality now. usually in LOA it’s for example “I have hazel eyes” and with that assumption, you continue until one day it just “clicks” and happens, or with “saturation sessions” you gradually see your eyes turn hazel day by day

And I’m more so struggling with seeing how non duality had a different perspective on it or has a straight “yes” response to it, because I can’t comprehend how much more straightforward it is with the desire itself in comparison to LOA. So my main struggle is what exactly is the difference IN PRACTICE

If LOA goes “I have hazel eyes” and gets it in saturation / “it clicks” moment

Then how does nonduality get that hazel eyes without all the hassle that came initially with LOA?

Is it just a deciding moment of “I have hazel eyes” and move on? Is it tapping into the state? But isn’t tapping into that state to begin with, also pretending/assuming?

I hope this question isn’t too bothersome or confusing!! There’s a lot I’m still trying to understand

Because in knowing your nature and what is you see that you don’t need any laws, frameworks, methods or states or whatever. You’re just being, nothing. There’s no perspective to be had in non duality, it’s just noticing it all comes back to “THAT, awareness, being, nothing-yourself”—and all appearances are included. Meaning everything is no thing or being etc, and nothing is excluded. Both topics of ND and LOA are entirely unrelated.

When you see your nature as evident, you see that it’s all immediate, all one-no separation, and no LOA process is needed. Notice how it’s all immediate right now, the knowing. ND is all about understanding yourself to the “core” and from that understanding “choices” can seem to be made effortlessly, as they already are-notice your current “choices.” And I say seem, because all choices or appearances are still awareness.

It’s noticing you’re not an individual human, but awareness or beingness itself! Aside all the seeming objects, ideas of separation, sensations of separation, you are irreducible awareness. If it’s all actually immediate knowing and there is no separation why would you need a law or an assumption? Just understand yourself, see what already is, then enjoy yourself. Not complicated. If it seems difficult, then you’re over complicating with ideas. Just notice what and where everything actually is, including yourself. No need to force anything.

I’d agree with you, it does sound like you just understand the words used and the meanings behind the messages but you don’t have the knowing of Self

Put what you know into actuality, You are Awareness, You are not the mind, There is no actual entity called ‘I’ , doubts fears and questions are meaningless

So by claiming I've cleared the illusionary exam already I'm cancelling out the possibility of failure.

Am I understanding it right love?

"I'm rich now by claiming that I'm cancelling the possibility of being broke"

What you experience, is what you effortlessly DECIDE.

" " appears as whatever " " decides. No efforts involved.

There is no one to cancel the possibility of being broke. There is no possibility of being broke, likewise there is no possibility of being rich.

It is all " " seemingly appearing in " ".

Empty appearances.

" " is not rich. " " is not poor. " " do not succeed, and it does not fail.

It just IS. It doesn't need to be anything, it is BEING itself.

Look beyond the labels, and concepts, and words. Notice your effortless BEING. Everything I said here is just a pointer, look where it's pointing to and drop it.

You are EVERYTHING. You are NOTHING.

You ARE.

There is no standard state, definition, appearance, feeling, perspective or sentiment etc related to yourself or seeing yourself

It’s only seeing what you are as it is. There’s nothing that needs to be changed to see this. You’re infinite even when it seems like you’re an individual human with a story, desires, and limits—that’s all infinite too. Just do your thing! Nothing actually opposes you even if it sometimes seems like it does. It’s just you and you. See “where and what” you truly are
