Awareness As only Reality

Nothing But Self

It is not about losing yourself

What is Non duality/Advaita Vedanta even about

Be Still and Know that You Are

The Mind is an Unreliable Narrator

The "ego" is not real

Everything is "it"

Stop bothering yourself

Nothing is that Serious

Limitations,Lack and Desire

Why do people teach this?

This is not about being enlightened

what does "nothing is real" actually mean

It is literal

You are not a person

Please note

refer to my guidelines before you send asks

Mooji, Rupert Spira, Swami Sarvapriyananda, Sri Nisardagatta Maharaj and I recommend reading the Ashtavakra Gita

You can only perceive that which is imaginary or transitory.

Isn't it clear now why you can not perceive Your Self ?

Yes, you can percieve your face, your body & you can see yourself in some way or another (self conception), but that is only imagination.

I am talking about the real you, that sentient being that is "located" behind your eyes, the observer.

You can not perceive that, nor can you find an exact location from where that feeling of this unknown intelligence arises, for You are omnipresent.

You are nowhere and everywhere at the same time, because You are the Holy Spirit.

You can not perceive God, You can only BE God.

Truth is something that You Are, not something that You think about.

Awareness is the Only Reality, and is not imaginable & thinkable.

You Are the Absolute Reality & everything else that You can perceive, is the Relative Reality, fluid and dependent upon the Absolute / You, while You remain changeless and Eternal.

That doesn’t really change the fact that tumblr isn’t a reliable source of information about this topic, most bloggers speak from what they read from other blogs or insane apps like even Reddit and Twitter, most without direct experience or innate Knowing.

I ‘learnt’ from watching and reading material directly from the gurus , they speak about the very core of non duality, you do not have to follow their every word but it is a way better place to learn than teenagers on tumblr.

At the end of the day , we’re all using languaging to try and describe the indescribable.

This is what is meant by paradoxical, there is no desire but there seems to be desire, there is no fulfillment but there seems to be fulfillment. It goes without saying that at this point everything is only a seeming and not actuality , in the same fashion surely I can also say isnt doing anything contradictory if there’s no actual doer. No because understanding brings about the realization that though things seem to be happening they aren’t actually happening in truth.

the whole reasoning that’s been given for awareness choosing this seeming appearance and experiences is because “as god wouldn’t you feel bored knowing and having everything instantaneously.” But my thing is, you guys constantly say awareness doesn’t feel anything or have any motives or agenda it’s just there observing so how could it have been bored in the first place to want to experience perceived lack? Isn’t boredom an emotion? also it’s confusing cause one minute it’s “the character is experiencing suffering not who you truly are” but the next it’s “well it’s not the character that wants to experience these things it’s awareness”. How can awareness come up with something to experience when it was just stated that it can’t experience anything and can only observe it? but then in the same way it’s said “it’s not awareness that wants these things it’s the character, awareness lacks nothing”, again if it’s the character that wants these and not awareness how could that be when it’s said that the character can’t even perceive wanting to experience something unless awareness is aware of it first. I also don’t get the whole if something comes up in your awareness and you want to experience it, be aware of not only wanting but having it as present current unfolding. But if everything is equal why would I need to be aware of something “else” in the first place? like you guys say all the time poverty=riches, but then say someone wants money they are then navigated to “become aware of having money and boom you have said money”… but why would I need to be aware of having money to experience it if not having money=having money. It seems that there is duality in being aware of something else. Why is there a need for the awareness of money if not having money is the same? Like why do I have to be aware of experiencing something if everything is the same?

When people say that’s the reason, please understand they are just being “poetic” on purpose, none of us will ever know the truth of reality or why anything seems to be the way they seem , it is impossible but saying awareness chose to forget itself in order to live within limits is just a dramatic guess— in the grand scheme of things whatever the reason may be hardly matters because it doesn’t affect anything. Whether we say it’s because awareness was bored or awareness was lonely (you can honestly already tell these things aren’t supposed to be taken literally) the message remains the same and that is everything is a narrative.

I don’t know where you heard “awareness wants to experience xyz” that is not at all what non duality discusses. If you ever read that anywhere then do not keep reading from that particular place. This understanding is paradoxical not contradictory, if anyone contradicts themselves then they don’t know what they are talking about. There is no “person” here wanting an experience, there only is an idea that suggests that, an imaginary idea.

Awareness is not merely just an observer, what Awareness actually is cannot be conceptualized as ‘this’ or ‘that’ . Awareness is present during imaginary experiences akin to an observer but that doesn’t mean its entire role is a witness. awareness doesn’t even have a role it is not even a thing, Awareness is the inconceivable THAT onto which experience, objects, sensations, labeling etc SEEM to occur.

You are strongly personifying awareness in this ask and that is the primary cause for your confusion, there is no action that Awareness can or cannot do because Awareness isn’t something that does things, action is a concept that only ‘exists’ because of Awareness. Awareness itself is transcendental to everything that can be described in words or feelings, Awareness IS just what IS. There is no my awareness or your awareness, there is only Awareness/ THAT/Self/Brahman these are all words used to try and describe this infinite nothing, words do not come close because words are limited to the definition they have and Awareness by default is beyond definition.

This is why I have a problem with people using tumblr to learn non duality because all the very acclaimed bloggers on here have never said any of these things, it is only those who attempt to frame non duality as a way to achieve something that will describe it this way and do you see the confusion it causes?

Riches, poverty, desires whatever it is you can define DOES NOT EXIST why would you have to do something about something that is illusory? I don’t understand where this ideology comes from, there is only THAT everything else is an imaginary appearance within Self, that is it. There’s nothing to do because there is nothing that can be done — doing something isnt doing something it is an idea that something is being done.

If appearance is unreal then the changed appearance is just as unreal

False= unreal/ not actual/ illusion

You just responded to my ask so thank you for taking the time to help me with my understanding.

The issue that i have is that you said that all of those things appearing are only temporary narratives that seem to be happening in the moment, but we have any proof of it actually happening.

that is true, but wouldn’t that put us in a situation of uncertainty ? how are we so sure that those narratives (including the seeming experience) appearing are 100% untrue then ?

it seems like you are completely sure that the only truth of your being is awareness, but how can i also be sure of that if what points me to that identification would again be an interpretation of the seeming moment ?

Something being uncertain means it cannot be true, the instant you define something uncertain as true it is no longer uncertain. The complete and utter inability to determine if the narratives that appear are true means that they cannot ever be true.

If I told you to confirm externally that something you believe was true was true , could you do that? Whatever action that you would do in that process would be a narrative, whatever confirmation you would get would also be a narrative. Everything is a narrative and that is what makes everything uncertain.

If I said the narratives were false I would be doing you a disservice because I do not know if they are actually false, if I said they were false well that would just be another narrative. But see? Just like how an illusion can appear to be whatever so also can these narratives appear as whatever.

One day the story could be abundance and prosperity the next it could be confusion and sadness. Sometimes I can completely flip my thoughts if I don’t want to deal with them because they hold no truth— the fact that narratives can “change” at the slightest things mean they are not reliable.

So why hold onto something that is uncertain or unreliable? What could be gained from losing your mind over something you arent even sure is the case? Doesn’t that sound funny? To declare a predicament is yours when you truly aren’t certain it even is an actuality?

After reading the post below it really gave me clarity and I felt like I finally understood what I needed to.

The only thing I'm struggling with is the that there's no need to try and change beliefs, because they pass like every other appearance.

Wouldn't "changing beliefs" be the thing to do if you want to experience what you desire? I hope you can understand my ask, thank you

Careful, you’re chattering into a territory that does not align with what the initial post is talking about

There are no desires, there are no experiences. There is just Self. The more you label and define this Nothing, the more in bondage you seem to be

Utter freedom comes from no limitations and limitations come from taking a narrative as fact— which is what your question is doing.

i know you dislike it when people ask questions that are concepts oriented/ trying to make sense of this using finite resources.

But i don’t know how to approach it any other way, i don’t understand how to stop identifying with this body appearing and knowing without a single doubt that it isn’t me.

and i don’t mean that in a manifestation way, to try to get some things.

i’m trying to understand what i am, what’s this existence that i associate to myself,

i know i AM, but i don’t know what i am,

i notice that when i try to answer those questions, some images appear but i still am observing them, which would mean that it is not me, but how could i be sure ?

it is so confusing

Okay so, the thing is you don’t actually know any of these concerns are true, you have absolutely no idea if you’re struggling with misidentification or any of these other things you mentioned.

What is your proof? The appearance of a convincing narrative that suggests it is so is not nearly enough to indicate that this is an actual predicament. You couldnt even be identified with the “body” if you tried why? Because there is no body and there is no one to identify with it and there is no actual such thing as identification. These are all made up ideas that you seem to take as truth.

The Self remains untouched, you couldn’t even have problems— it is impossible. What you define as identification to the body is probably a strong sense of attachment or worries that indicate you take your seeming self serious but what makes that feeling/idea true?
