the recognition of what is

if you study Neville, you know he emphasizes the idea of creation—imagination as both a thing and a power with the ability to create internally within ourselves.

When you contrast our time with Neville's, ours is clearly different. It's been inflated, if you will. It's not that media didn't exist in Neville's time, but the media we have now is far more extreme and pervasive in our lives. This presents a challenge for us because, unlike Neville's era when media meant newspapers—primarily text without much visual component—our media consumption is fundamentally different. Reading requires something of you that visual consumption doesn't.

This observation comes from a personal experiment. I took a month off from mindlessly scrolling on my phone—not necessarily from posting, just from scrolling. I felt very different during that time. Then I came back to see how I would feel if I started scrolling again, and I noticed a few things.

First, doubts that I didn't have before started to arise—self-doubt and questioning myself that weren't there during my break. But it wasn't just anxiety. I started noticing that my imagination felt rigid, like it wasn't malleable anymore. I wasn't able to create as easily. This is just my experience, of course. Depending on your feed, things might be different for you. But I'm talking about the fundamental framework of what happens when we consume media.

The media we consume consists of finished images—completed visuals. You don't have to create anything inside your imagination anymore. You just scroll and you're given either an argument, someone fighting, or something happening on screen. The image is complete, and then you do it again and again and again. What happens is your imagination becomes a consumer rather than a creator within yourself.

Remember, imagination is the ability to create within ourselves. When it's just consuming and not creating, it almost feels pointless. The imagination becomes lifeless. Your inner world becomes dark and empty.

But there are things you can do to solve this issue. The point is to create inside ourselves, to use our imagination. So when you see a completed visual—like a video on your phone—revise it. Do something with what you just watched internally. Unlike reading, where you have to create something within yourself while piecing it together, visuals are already completed for you. Try to revise things when you hear or see them on your phone, just to practice creating within yourself.

Another thing you can do is set an intention to create for the sole purpose of creating—no other reason. Don't do it to try to change things all the time. Just focus on creating things within you. Start to gather the ability to produce and create within yourself. Create an idea, feel after the idea, take action within yourself, and your inner world will become more important. It will take on more tones of reality. It'll start to feel more real to you, become alive again, and you can become self-inspired rather than waiting for some external image to create for you.

That's really what's happening. The media we have now creates for us, and we no longer create within ourselves. Our awareness, which should be inward, is being externalized onto the phone. The phone gives us completed images, and when we come back to ourselves, we've been shaped by it without realizing it. We've been shaped to a degree.

Something on your phone—maybe not everything, but something—will be persuasive enough to make you think a certain way, to dream a certain way. We really are living in a world of assumptions. When you're on your phone, you're getting suggestions, assumptions, dreams given to you without it being explicitly stated. It's more of a demand, an intrusion, intruding upon you to dream this way. If it can't get you through intrusion, it'll get you through persuasion.

It may not be something you want to dream yourself. It might not be what you actually wanted, but you're just told to do it. If we know anything about human nature and observation, it's that people will bow to statues because they're told to. People will bow to gods they don't even know because they were told to. So it's very important to be aware of this fact—you don't want to make your imagination just a consumer, constantly consuming media. It needs to start creating again.

You'll find so much freedom when you realize creation should be done just for creation's sake, just because you can. That will allow you not only to get motivated but also to stay disciplined because the intention is always the same, and the goal is always the same: to create.

There's something I don't really like about the interpretation of Neville's work—not Neville himself, but the interpretation. I understand the sentiment about needing to change the outer world, Caesar's world, whatever you want to call it. But really, we need to focus on changing our inner worlds. If there's no one to change but self, then any other focus is pointless, right? It shouldn't matter as much. If there's nothing and no one to change but self, and I'm just simply consuming and not creating, then I'm not really changing myself. If there's nothing else to change, then I really shouldn't focus on much else.

Let's take the premise as true: no one to change but self. Then any other focus is less than self at that point. So I need to start imagining. If imagining creates reality, and no one to change but self—if you combine those two with "feeling is the secret"—then I change myself through feeling. If I want to create a different world for myself, I must create a different self for myself. I must create myself to be different. But we can't create if we're constantly consuming.

This is just something I noticed from my own experiment. I tried taking a month off, not watching anything, not scrolling at all. By the second week, I felt pretty good. When I came back to it—because you have to see how it's going to be when you come back—I just noticed my imagination felt limited out of nowhere, and it wasn't anything I was actively doing. It was just mindless consumption. The imagination atrophied because I stopped creating with it.

That's what I've noticed: if we don't start dreaming for ourselves, dreams will be put in us. We have to dream—we're dreamers. The same way we have to eat food, we have to dream. What we dream about is subject to change, either through ourselves or through external persuasion. Externalization of ideas can persuade us without our realizing it, and then we're on a certain track. We start expressing this without knowing we're expressing it, and then life turns a certain way. We wonder why this happened, where it came from, how it appeared. We forget. It's like we're gardeners, and when we see something sprouting in our garden that we don't want, we forget that we planted it.

Think about it. If you spend a whole day scrolling and I asked you which ones you remember, it's very hard to remember them, right? I don't think I'm alone in that. It's very hard to remember what you just watched. That tells me that the state of mind I'm in is almost like hypnosis. I'm just being receptive to it. I'm not really creating or thinking twice about what I just watched. I'm not doing anything with it. I'm merely consuming it, which I don't think is good because imagination is the ability not just to consume but to create. It must start creating.

That's why I'm saying you can revise what you just watched, regardless of whether you think it's going to happen or not. Don't think about outcomes—think about creation. Think about just creating. When you hear something, change it. If you want to change it, start to create on the inside rather than passively consuming on the inside. Don't let your inner world go dark just because it's easy. It's important. This is really important because we're supposed to be dreaming what we want, not what we're told to.

I know this was a bit different. I don't really have much else to say right now. I'll probably talk about this again in the future, but I just wanted to give a brief talk on this experiment I did with myself. Yeah, I'll probably bring this up in the future.

I don't really have anything else to say other than thank you guys for the support on the book. I do hope you're enjoying it, and I hope it frees you. I really do. I hope it frees you more than when you first started reading it. If you're interested, it's in the description. I'm going live tomorrow for the members later in the night. I'm going to have a drink and might talk about this, so if you're interested, check the description. But I'm curious about your thoughts on this idea—or more than just ideas, I want to hear your experience on this as well.

One of the biggest misunderstandings in non-dualism is the idea that you need to constantly maintain a certain state in order to be “in truth.”

People often say things like: “I lost awareness again,” “I went back into ego,” or “I couldn’t stay conscious.”

But this already assumes separation.

It assumes there is a state called awareness… and someone who can enter or exit it.

From a non-dual perspective, this is not possible.

Awareness is not a state you enter. It is not something you hold onto. It is not something that comes and goes depending on your attention.

Everything that appears — including thoughts, confusion, doubt, ego-identification — is already appearing within it.

Even the thought “I am not aware right now” is still awareness being aware of that thought.

There is never a moment where awareness is absent. There is only shifting identification with thoughts, emotions, and mental narratives.

The sense of “I lost it” is just another appearance. Nothing has actually been lost.

This is why trying to “stay as awareness” becomes exhausting. Because it turns something natural into a practice, and then creates a subtle belief that you can fail at it.

But you cannot fail at what you already are. So there is nothing to maintain, nothing to achieve, nothing to stabilize.

Even the effort to remain aware is just another movement within awareness. Recognition does not require effort. It only requires the dropping of the assumption that you were ever separate from it.

There is no duality. There is no separate “self.” Everything that appears, everything that is felt, everything that is thought arises within a single reality: awareness.

Awareness is not thoughts, not the body, not identity. All of these are things that are perceived. Anything that is perceived cannot be what awareness itself is. Thoughts come and go, emotions change, the body transforms, identities are formed and dissolved; yet that which is aware of all of this does not change. That is what is real.

A person usually defines themselves through the mind, the body, and their story. “I am this, I am that, I am this age, I have this past.” But all of these are acquired definitions. Before all of them, there was a presence. That presence is still here. It is awareness itself, needing no definition.

The mind tries to understand this and immediately creates concepts: soul, evolution, purpose, journey, awakening… None of these are necessarily wrong, but none of them are absolute either. They are attempts to explain. Since the mind cannot grasp what is directly, it creates stories. Narratives like “from oneness to multiplicity and back to oneness” are not the truth itself, but efforts to approach it.

In reality, nothing is going anywhere. There is no process. Nothing becomes anything. What already is, is simply recognized.

Awareness is always present. It cannot be created, developed, or reached, because it already is. Even in the attempt to understand something, it is there. The thought “I don’t understand” also arises within it. Awareness never disappears; attention simply shifts.

For this reason, the idea of a “state to reach” is also an illusion. Sometimes it is given different names like void state , the “I am” state, or others. But regardless of the name, what is being pointed to is the same: awareness that is already present. You do not enter it, and you do not exit it. You simply recognize that you are it.

The experienced world also appears within this awareness. What is seen, heard, touched, thoughts, memories… all arise and fade. What gives them the sense of reality is that they are known by awareness. When attention is given, they become vivid; when attention is withdrawn, they fade. This is why there is no real separation between an “outer world” and an “inner world.”

The mind usually clings to the idea of time: past, present, future. Yet experience always happens in the now. The past and future appear as thoughts. Therefore, time itself is a mental construct. Likewise, concepts such as “distance,” “waiting,” and “delay” are parts of this construction.

When one identifies with the body and mind, a sense of lack appears. One seeks to obtain something, to reach something. But if everything already arises within awareness, there is nothing separate to reach. The seeker and what is sought come from the same source.

At this point, concepts like “creation” and “change” take on a different meaning. For something to exist, it is enough for it to be known. Awareness shifts, and experience shifts with it. However, this is not a process; it is a shift in perception. The mind interprets it as something happening over time.

What is called the ego is nothing more than this misidentification. Thoughts, beliefs, and identities come together to form a sense of “I.” This structure constantly asks questions: “How?”, “Why?”, “What if it doesn’t happen?” These questions are not truly seeking truth; they are trying to sustain themselves. Awareness, on the other hand, needs nothing. It simply is.

The feeling of loneliness also arises from this misinterpretation. Oneness is not being alone in the way the mind imagines. On the contrary, it is being everything. There are no “others” separate from you, so loneliness cannot truly exist. It is not born from reality, but from the idea of separation.

In the same way, fears are projections of the mind. Ideas such as death, ending, and disappearance arise from identification with the body. The body is a changing form; awareness is not. Being does not depend on a beginning or an end.

At the end of all seeking, what is found is not new knowledge, but a simple recognition: seeing what already is. Therefore, the resolution is not to think more, but to recognize what is beyond thought.

In conclusion, nothing is missing, nothing is distant, nothing is gained later. Whatever is being sought is already here. And that which is aware of it is what is being sought.

and so we've come to the end of this little series. everything in this series has been pointing to one simple thing: you are not the person you think you are.

you are not the : thoughts. emotions. story. the one trying to fix, change, or become. all of that is what appears to you..

and what you are awareness is never touched by any of it. this is why nothing you experience can actually define you. it can only be seen. the search, the effort, the doubt, the desire to get it right all of that belongs to the identity of a person. and that identity only feels real because it is believed in. non-dualism is not asking you to become something new. it is pointing you back to what is already here before any idea of you appears. so the practice is not addition. it is recognition.

recognizing that whatever comes and goes is not you. and what never comes and goes (the awareness of it all )is what you are.

you don’t arrive at this. you notice it. and in that noticing, the need to become anything else slowly drops away. nothing is missing. nothing was ever broken. nothing needs to be achieved. just this , as it is.

every time i open tumblr, i find myself thinking… what can i share on my blog, what more can i offer you. but i also don’t want to repeat myself. i don’t want to confuse you by explaining the same things in different ways and interpretations. because i feel like i’ve already said everything that needs to be said.

if there’s anything you want me to share or create, you can write it in the comments 🙏

but i want to remind you of this again: the ego needs answers, awareness doesn’t. all the questioning, fears, doubts… they all belong to the ego.

you might feel confused, you might want to experience your desires in physical reality as soon as possible. these are very human things and i would never judge you for them.

but you should also know that all of this comes from identifying with the ego. the ego questions, the ego wants answers… awareness simply is.

this part is more about those who see doubt and anxiety as obstacles and don't know what to do with them. (i was once like that 😭) i hope it helps you.

doubt and anxiety are not problems to solve , they are simply experiences appearing in awareness. the mistake happens when they are taken personally, as if they mean something about what you are or what is happening.

in non-dualism, even doubt is just another appearance. it has no authority unless you give it one. the feeling of what if this isn’t working? or what if i’m doing it wrong? is not a truth it’s just a thought combined with a sensation in the body.

a simple example again , imagine clouds passing in the sky. some are light, some are heavy and dark. but none of them define the sky. the sky doesn’t try to fix the clouds or get rid of them. it simply remains untouched while they come and go. in the same way, awareness is not affected by doubt or anxiety they appear and disappear within it.

the struggle only begins when there is identification: i am anxious, this doubt means something, this is a problem. but if you look closely, you’ll notice the doubt is seen. the anxiety is felt. so what are you, if both are being observed?

you don’t need to fight doubt or replace it with certainty. that just creates more tension. instead, you stop giving it meaning. you let it be there without making it about you. even the question is this working? is just another thought appearing. it doesn’t need an answer in the moment it arises. it just needs to be seen for what it is passing content in awareness.

I think it's a part that most people are interested in. 😉

the 3D (what you see in front of you, your physical reality) only feels triggering when there is still identification with lack. it’s not the 3D itself causing the reaction it’s the meaning you give to it.

when you look at your current circumstances and feel discouraged, what is actually happening is this: there is still a belief that the external world is telling you who you are and what you have. so the mind reads it as proof of not having, instead of just neutral appearance. but in non-dualism, the 3D is not a source of truth. it’s just appearance / a reflection, not a rule. it doesn’t confirm or deny anything about what you are.

example : imagine watching a movie where the scene looks sad. you might react emotionally, but the scene itself is not telling you anything real about you. it’s just something being seen. the moment you remember you are the watcher, not the character, the emotional charge weakens. checking the 3D for validation works the same way. every time you check, you are reinforcing the idea that something outside of you has authority over your state. that’s why it pulls you back not because it’s powerful, but because attention gives it importance.

before we begin, i've shared a post about this; you can take a look if you're interested.

A lot of confusion comes from the idea of ​​thinking from the state vs thinking of the state, but at its core, this is actually very simple. I will try to explain this as simply as possible.

thinking of something means you are outside of it, looking at it as something you don't have yet. for example, thinking of a desired life feels like imagining something separate from you , something in the future, something you're trying to reach.

thinking from is not about visualizing harder or creating perfect scenes. it simply means there is no sense of separation between you and what is known. it's more like a quiet assumption or natural knowing, rather than active imagining.

a simple way to understand it: when you already have something in your everyday life, you don't constantly think about it or try to convince yourself of it. you just know it's yours. there's no effort, no focus, no need to maintain the thought. It's simply part of your reality.

for example, you don't sit there repeating i have a phone all day or visualizing owning it. you just live from the fact that it's already yours. that's closer to thinking from. so it's not about doing more in the mind, but actually doing less. less effort, less trying, less constructing.

Hey guys, lately many people are telling me they understand non-dualism but can't see the change in 3D... so I decided to prepare a general post about it. I hope it will be helpful. 💖

1) From a non-dualism perspective, there is no separate "world" outside of you. The "outside world" is a reflection of your consciousness. Your senses make you feel like there is a solid and separate "3D," but this is an illusion.

For example, imagine a dream where you are on a beach. Your "dream eyes" see the waves, your "dream ears" hear the seagulls… but none of this exists outside your mind. 3D reality works exactly the same way!! Your senses make it feel "real," but everything actually occurs within consciousness (4D).

2) So why is it felt delayed in 3D? The source of this question is usually;

The mind's habit: The brain processes sensory information linearly ("A first, then B").

The belief in separation: If you think, "I am here, my desire is there," you create a false distance, which feels like a "delay."

The non-dual reality: There is no distance between you and your desire. The moment you become aware of it (in 4D), it has already occurred. "3D" only adapts to the speed at which you let go.

pay attention to this part, because sooo many people attach unnecessarily excessive and different meanings to letting go.

letting go doesn’t mean forcing yourself to stop thinking, suppressing emotions, or trying to get rid of the ego. it’s not something you do to yourself. in non-dualism, letting go simply means: stopping the habit of identifying.

most of the time, when a thought appears like i’m anxious, i’m not there yet, or something is wrong, you automatically claim it as me. that’s identification. letting go is not about removing the thought , it’s about not attaching yourself to it. the thought can stay. the feeling can stay. what changes is this: you no longer say this is me.

a basic example (my favorite part😏🙌 ) : imagine a cloud passing in the sky. you don’t try to control it, you don’t chase it away, and you don’t become it. you just see it for what it is something passing. thoughts and emotions work the same way. they appear, they move, they disappear. but you are not inside them; they are appearing to you.

this is why trying to let go often feels hard because people try to do it from the identity that wants control. but real letting go is effortless. it happens the moment you stop holding on, the moment you stop claiming.

spoiler: you're not actually stuck.

feeling stuck doesn’t mean something is wrong with you it means you’re still identifying with the part of you that believes it’s stuck. the idea of being stuck, behind, or not there yet only exists within the identity of the person. it comes from the belief that there is a “you” who needs to get somewhere, fix something, or become something else.

but non-dualism points out something simple: the awareness that you are is never stuck. it doesn’t move, it doesn’t progress, it doesn’t need to change. it simply observes everything including the feeling of being stuck. so what you’re actually experiencing is not being stuck, but a thought, a feeling, or a story about being stuck , something that appears and is noticed.

a simple example again : imagine a character in a movie saying, i’m trapped, i can’t get out. the character feels it deeply, but you, as the viewer, are not actually trapped. you’re just aware of the scene. in the same way, the sense of being stuck belongs to the character, not to what you truly are.

the more you try to fix the feeling from within the identity, the more real it seems. but the moment you step back and notice it, something shifts you are no longer fully inside it.
