desire already is the lived experience appearing

desire is not a signal that something is missing. it never means “not yet.” it never points to a later moment. the instant a desire appears, the lived experience is already present in the same continuous appearance. there is no gap between them.

what you call desire is simply the first way the fulfillment shows itself, not as a future, but as a tone already alive in the dream. it’s the same reality, the same presence, the same totality, showing a different texture of itself. nothing is being called in, nothing is being summoned, and nothing is waiting to happen.

the appearance of thought says desire means something is missing. but there are no steps. there is no “before,” no “after,” no process of becoming. desire and fulfillment do not sit on a timeline. they’re not two points, not two phases, not two realities. they are the same appearance experienced from two angles.

you aren’t trying to obtain anything. you aren’t trying to shift into a version that has what you want. the desire itself is already the scene you call fulfillment, appearing in a quieter form. nothing is missing; it simply hasn’t shown itself in the visual language the mind expects yet.

desire doesn’t ask you to move. it doesn’t tell you to imagine, improve, align, or become. desire is not a request, it’s recognition. it’s the lived experience signalling its own presence in a way the mind can feel.

there is no distance to cross. no gap to close. the dream doesn’t unfold in steps. the appearance of desire and the appearance of the lived experience are not cause and effect; they are one movement, one expression, one appearance.

you’re not “trying to get” anything. nothing is outside of you and nothing is waiting to arrive. desire is simply the moment you notice what awareness is already presenting. it’s the dream showing you its next face, not a task you must complete.

when you stop treating desire as a lack, you see it for what it is: the fulfillment, already here, already yours, already appearing.

What does "being conscious of being conscious" mean? (In words that an ordinary person can understand, please haha ​​😭) Any examples of it?

it’s basically noticing that you’re aware.

for example, right now you’re aware of these words.

but instead of focusing on the words, notice the fact that you’re aware of them.

or if you’re listening to music, instead of focusing on the song, notice that you’re aware of hearing it.

it’s not a special state, a trance, or some mystical experience.

it’s just recognizing the simple fact that awareness is already present.

another example: if i ask you, “are you aware right now?"

you don’t need to think about it for five minutes 😭

Stop attaching yourself to ideas you dislike

You are free

Stop acting otherwise

You are a victim of your own imaginations so stop imagining the world is a certain way you dislike

Let the sorrow go.... it's not real... literally. Very literally. Extra mega literally. Just like a dream literally. The definition of literally

The fact is that you are so powerful that the world would not function without your wish.

Ty for your content, it’s so sweet 💕

I have a big thing that lingers on my mind for my whole life! I’ve been daydreaming about having a perfect partner since I was a child and I guess it’s what you call visualising. But funnily enough, I’m 22 and been single my whole life…

This fact makes me wonder if I’m not worthy of my desire of having a great relationship? I constantly work on myself to be better, yet, I feel like I’m doing all this just to prove myself worthy. I am exhausted…

I also have no idea how I let go of something that I wanted for years! I find it hard to practice detachment when it comes to romance.

Please, help me figure out why I’m stuck in this loop no matter how much I try to do everything right.

Tbh, it’s not about this desire anymore but whether the universe thinks I’m still not worthy of love…

How can that be?!

You are the creator of all that is! The universe is your projection! How can you not be worthy? An illusion has no thoughts of its own, universe, matter, people - they are what you think them to be!

Stop working on yourself and see yourself as perfect, now. Start loving yourself and only think good thoughts about yourself.

You need no thing, no one! There is nothing to need or desire for! To be, everyone and everything needs you and not the other way around. Start looking at yourself as such, and if you want to be a body, be the best body!

theres no one behind thoughts even if its smth like “i love this or that” and at a point i was kind of like if there is no person here what is the point in trying to choose a “better” experience

i also noticed that ego is only a thing in thought and if you listen to the thoughts that come up it can distort your experience if that makes sense?

at a point it does become a choice to keep entertaining the story of the life you thought you lived

and i really used to believe that realizing was just “instant manifestation” or kinda like what some anons described which “i” was never able to manifest anything.

last thing is that there is wont be a day that comes when you feel realized because its not real.

im still trying to accept that this was never about having a better experience but yeah. thank you blu any words or advice or just your opinion is greatly appreciate i love you :)

hello!! i love you and i’m glad you liked the photos!!

yesyesyes. you’re doing everything thing. the very best thing you can do is stop consuming. the more you rely on yourself, the faster this ‘process’ becomes. keep going, go many more weeks without consuming, trust in your own knowledge. there’s nothing i know that you do not. : )

it’s ok to want to be happy, to want better. it’s normal and healthy and that’s what brings all of us here. but the point is to realise what real, lasting happiness actually is. it cannot be found in materialising your desires or improving your experience. yes, you can make that happen, and it’s a very sweet feeling, but not until you realise who you are first. even if you had everything that you think you want, if you didn’t understand that it was YOU that was putting it there, you’d forever be afraid of something external taking it away. and a life spent in perpetual fear is no life at all. what good is a pretty face and a healthy body when you only know yourself to be a vulnerable little person that can become disfigured or seriously injured by a freak accident at any moment? when illness, or even death, can strike you or the people that you love without warning?

only focus on self, the dream will "shift" on its own. just keep applying, keep noticing. come to your own conclusions about who you are, this is the best way. the peace will come by itself. don’t put any experience or body on a pedestal, you’ll be able to pick as many as you like once it fully settles that this is all just you.

Hm, it’s not an euphoric feeling but a real feeling of knowing and with that - indifference and power. It is very calm and serene, as if nothing can disturb you. Detaching from the ego means you look at it as "not you", it is just a form, equal to another form, aka no difference between characters. A form that is not you but something you can choose to express yourself as.

You can’t force it. You can only allow it to be the case.

They are all your imaginations, now you take Vanessa to be true only, that is why you cannot imagine something different in her stead.

This body and mind right now happen to you. You don't happen to them. Nisargadatta says somewhere in the book that the more you try to do something to the mind, the bigger a mess you’ll find yourself in.

The way the sun rises up in the morning, in the same way Vanessa happens to awareness. It is natural. Do you try to make it happen? You don’t do anything, it comes by itself (because you choose it as you). You just need to allow something else to happen, not try to make it so!! Let Vanessa go, fall victim to Lara the way you’re a victim of Vanessa now. You cannot help being what you are. That is what materializes, what is absolute. Vanessa is the absolute to you now. But if she can be TO YOU, if she happens TO YOU, who is YOU?

This is from one of Neville’s books:

i’m coming from a position where my life kinda sucks. or this life that i experience. i have problems like parental issues, disabilities, dissatisfaction with my appearance, and more. so for years, i wanted to change my life (change the ego, reality shift, whatever). it was really nice to believe that it could miraculously change, but i spent two years doing the law of assumption and absolutely nothing changed. so it’s hard for me to believe that my life can actually improve in any way.

from a POV like this, it’s hard for me to believe that nonduality even means anything. it just feels completely meaningless to me. or it makes me feel worse about these circumstances. like, okay, i’m not the person. i can accept that. but ultimately i still have to wake up in a body that hurts all over, to a mother that screams at me, going to classes with migraines, having nobody to talk to, having zero hope for my life or my future, etc — if i can’t change anything of this by “knowing i’m actually the ocean,” then what’s the point?

this entire journey is stressful for me, it feels like just another stressor on my life, and i gain nothing from it. people say “oh, well, you’ll be a lot more detached from the thoughts and the events that happen!” and it’s like… okay… and i still have to experience them. i feel like much of this advise is targeted towards people who aren’t experiencing more serious troubles.

i can accept that the actual events and thoughts that are in my field of experience are technically impersonal, it’s kind of like playing a game as a first-person protagonist. but that makes me feel worse, because ultimately, i could have been born privileged/able-bodied/into a good family. and i just wasn’t, and there’s no grand reasoning or scheme for it. it just is. it’s hard for me to believe that this life actually means anything.

i just wanted to see a different perspective on it, or if you could give me some advice to make this all a lot easier.

"too personal"? nonsense. you and i are One, what could be more personal than that? : ) 🩷 it’s an honour to be here with you.

you’re not alone in how you feel. i too spent years in manifestation communities, at least 6 months trying for "the void state" alone. i don’t say this lightly nor figuratively, it was nearly the death of me. i would tell you what i went through but the list would be long and perhaps triggering for some, and this is not about me or "my" suffering anyway. just know that, although i appear as a stranger on the internet, i promise you i understand these feelings of hopelessness and despair. like, discarding all the awareness talk for a minute… on a human level, from one person to another, i get it. it’s agonising when you’re in it.

you remind me so much of one of my favourite """success stories""", an anon of lains. their journey started so much like yours. i watched their progress in real time via the multiple updates they sent lains/sophie, it was really inspiring for me. i think reading through it will help you:

part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4

there is a lot to take in and multiple links to look through, especially in lain’s response in part one, so just go at your own pace and take a break from reading if it gets overwhelming!

"if i can’t change any of this then what’s the point?"

yes, you can. the point is to be free, to do whatever you want at all times. but you will struggle to do that if you don’t realise who "you" is. i’m sure you’ve heard that a million times, i don’t doubt that you already understand it on some level. but you have to put it into practice. it feels like effort only because you’re trying to be what you naturally are through a thing that simply isn’t (ego).

as it stands, life is happening as if happens, right? you’ve tried for 2 years to fix it through manifestation and it didn’t work because ego is incapacitated. i’m not here to tell you to try to change it (that happens on its own), all i’m asking you to do is try to change your attitude towards it.

i am not telling you to grin and bear it or affirm through it. it hurts, and you don’t need to pretend it doesn’t. just try, when you have the time, even if it’s just in the 10 minutes before you fall asleep at night, to relax your body, close your eyes, take deep breaths and watch what happens. that’s all i’m asking you to do for now. that’s it. there will be things that happen — thoughts that pass, painful sensations that arise in the body — and i’m asking you to let them. just keep watch of them. if you get distracted, if you cry, if you get frustrated, if you feel heartbroken, if you feel dejected, whatever you feel in these moments of stillness and silence… just allow it to happen. give it the grace to be. don’t try to transmute it, silence it, pass judgement on it. you know by now that you (the character) can’t stop it anyway. if you do notice yourself passing judgement on it or trying to push it away, notice that too. i mean literally notice it: "this hurts. this feels sad. this feels heavy. this feels boring". accept that your being is worth spending at least 10 minutes with. just be with yourself.

incorporate these moments of stillness wherever and whenever you can. even if it’s 5 minutes in the morning when you first wake up or in the shower/bath. be intentional about it. RECOGNISE in this moment "i’m here, i’m now, i’m present". you don’t need to expect anything revolutionary to happen. i know you feel impeded by desire, i know you want something different, but just for this moment accept that "if this is what the dream is showing right now, does it not make more sense to let it than to waste my energy fighting it?". start probing these thoughts, start to ask yourself: "to whom does it all happen?", "is this really me?" (and if the mind says "yes", then) "who am i?". investigate, without forcing: "could i allow this to not be my responsibility today? what if i let this have nothing to do with me?"

and if things happen that get very intense or overwhelming, write about it. journal it. vent your frustrations with total candour. "quite frankly, fuck being indifferent and fuck "sounding enlightened", i’m mad and i’m hurt and i hate everything and i’m so fed up".

i also would like you to read "master of self-realisation" by shri sadguru siddharameshwar maharaj at some point (you can find it in kelly’s google drive here). it doesn’t have to be today if this is all too much right now, maybe in a couple of days when you’ve read through the linked posts and processed lains’ advice and allowed time for your nervous system to calm. i’ve got an entire post written in my drafts about the book because i truly cannot tell you how much it shifted my attitude (and, by consequence, my world). i reached a plateau in my journey a while back where i was mostly indifferent to what was playing out in front of me, but still somewhat… unsatisfied? i felt some peace and that was nice, but my life still felt small, insignificant, and largely unchanged. i had an understanding that it wasn’t me, but i didn’t really know what to do with that. now, you don’t even have to read the entire two volumes, the first few chapters alone did wonders for my change in spirit. it was just so refreshing and freeing to read about this stuff from a guru born in the 19th century who lived on the other side of the world from me. it made me feel lucky to be here, and to be waking up. it made me realise how "real" this all really is, that this is to be taken more seriously than anything else in your life. this isn’t a teenage girlblogger posting from her room because she’s trying to "act as if", this is a man born in a completely different continent to me, raised in different circumstances, who died long before i was born and yet whose teachings i have been fortunate enough to stumble across and whose words resonate so profoundly with me. i had already read multiple spiritual books including, at least a year prior, "i am that" by nisargadatta maharaj (who was the disciple of siddharameshwar maharaj) so i can’t really explain why it was this book specifically that ended my incessant seeking. it just really resonated and made it all ‘click’ for some reason. it might not for everyone and that’s ok, try not to go into it with expectations but instead just be open to what you find (and also remember that i still had to apply for myself i.e. sit in silence and meditate on what i’d read, the reading alone didn’t ‘free’ me). nonetheless, i think it’s worth giving it a shot. what have you got to lose? : )

maybe his worlds will show you that freedom and bliss really are possible. not just possible, but your inherent nature. here are some excerpts that might encourage you:

I appreciate how straight forward you are about things and not sugar coating things. I've been holding off on putting an ask in because you've answered the same questions multiple times and I go back to those posts when I'm confused or dealing with immersion back into Vanessa's life.

But right now, things are quite overwhelming. This Vanessa has MDD and deals with a lot of dark thoughts and has some more than crappy circumstances. As I'm typing this, I even am realizing how I sound. Identifying with this person as if I am this person and the things she deals with. It makes me feel stupid realizing how deeply I feel immersed in this situation that triggered the episode she's experiencing.

(For context: Big bill issues, upset mother, feelings of guilt and dark thoughts of offing herself, SH.)

I started typing this initially with the intention of asking you how to "fight" the immersion and feeling of these things happening to me as if I'm this person, as if it's real, as if I'm not "creating" these circumstances, as if I'm not being shown what I currently am. But you've already answered it a million times, so I won't ask you to repeat yourself.

I guess now I just want to thank you for all of the wisdom you've shared and thank you for not cutting corners and giving people space coddle themselves. I'm not gonna coddle myself here and look for hugs or outside validation. So thanks again, genuinely.

This, too, will pass. Let it happen to you, I know there's this tendency to WANT TO CHANGE IT SO BAD.... because it's so painful and you want to do more and more to just get rid of it. But you can't change what you're already identifying with.

I'm posting the scale of emotions again:

Apathy, grief, fear, hostility, anger, indifference, acceptance, freedom, joy.

Maybe you're at anger right now. Angry with yourself for not being able to change when you know all this.

Most of you can't change because you are so desperate TO change... but there is nothing to want to change. Things just are. Don't work with changing self, just realize who self actually is.

Here's an exercise I thought of last night when I read this:

Start doubting you'll wake up as Vanessa tomorrow. Not to get it, but consider it actually… What if… I wake up tomorrow and I realize an entire life has been just a dream?! Equal to the one I dreamt last night?!

What if you wake up and realize it all was a nightmare that you THOUGHT went on for years and it's just been a few hours... even get scared and terrified about that thought. Better than getting scared about non-reality.

WHAT IN THE WORLD?! That never was... but I felt it so real, I swear I was her?! Yet here you are, awake, and the dream never was.

my question is how do you deal with impatience on this journey? it keeps coming up to me when i decide like ok i'm not this ego. i'm just aware of it. or i no longer care abt this thing. but then almost immediately i'm like but when can i finally materialize the things i want?! when can i live the life i want?! whennnn!!!! it's so annoying because everyone says it's instant but also that we have to patient? i get bored too of waiting i mean

hi my love!! i’m very well, i hope you are too! 🩵 : )

you’ve not actually detached at all. i know exactly where you’re at because i was there too once; and i’m sorry to say because i know how frustrating it feels, but you’re barely scratching the surface. you’re pretending to let go in order to try and fulfil ego desires. that is an act of ego in and of itself.

"when can i finally materialise the things i want?" materialise the things WHO wants? ego wants, not you. you’re still speaking, thinking, behaving on behalf of ego. you’re still fused with it. rather than observing ego, rather than being "just aware of it", you’re acting as it’s mouthpiece in my inbox.

you do still care, you haven’t stopped caring at all. you care about ego and its desires because you still think it’s you. you still want, you’re still making an effort to get. that’s why you’re here asking me this. it’s ok to acknowledge this, i would never shame you for something that i myself went through, but be honest with yourself about it. and if that is all you are here for, that just means that this is not the place for you right now. and if that is the case, that’s ok! this information isn’t going anywhere, your Self will always be waiting for you whenever you decide you are ready for it. just don’t lie to yourself about your intentions, because you’re only going to confuse yourself more. you’re only going to lead yourself to more moments like this, where you’re trying to hang up a coat that you refuse to even take off. you’re in the mindset of trying to get things whilst trying to know at the same time that you already have them. i don’t teach you how to get unreal things within an unreal dream, i only teach you how to wake up from it. what you choose to experience after you have woken up isn’t the point of why i talk about this, i am only teaching you how to get there.

and yes, people are right, it is instant when you know your Self. and i don’t just mean think or understand or believe that you are Self. i mean know it, from your own experience.

i suggest, if you do want to continue on this path, that you let go of some of these big attachments. needing and wanting is a horrible feeling, why put yourself through that my dear? let it go. sit with the desperation to get things until you make peace with it. you must face the fact that, if you had everything you wanted, you would feel no desire for it. you would not be asking questions about how to get it. so, for as long as you want these things, for as long as you ask questions about when or how you’ll get them, you’ll keep being the person who doesn’t have them. there is no way around this.

all any ego can do is desire and fear and wait. the good thing is that you now know it’s not you. the impatience and the longing will keep arising for a while. if the feelings are strong and overwhelming, if you can’t help but get swept up in them, then i strongly suggest you put time aside to properly release them. otherwise every time you try to drop them, you’re only going to keep doing what you described in your ask: pretending you’ve let them go, just to immediately wonder why they’ve not shown up seconds later.

once any major attachments and emotional obstacles are gone, your only job will be to set yourself apart from any lingering impatience and longing. you don’t need to stifle these feelings (you can’t, and the more you try to, the more you’ll reinforce them). just cease identifying with the thoughts as and when they come up. observe them without claiming them as you or yours.

of course you can have everything you want. but the only way to have what you want is by recognising that you already do. and you do that by recognising who ‘you’ is.

i say ‘you’, and you think of ego. that’s where you go wrong. you think of the body + mind. that’s not who i’m talking about. find out the ‘who’ that i am talking about, then there’ll be no questions left.

i won’t lie to you, it does require patience and self discipline. and that is something i can’t teach. that part is entirely up to you, and how badly you want to be free. : )

here are some of ada’s posts that should help you:

love your life, love your world, because it is perfect, now

this permissive new is not really new. it is but a new attitude of the old

each time you think you want something, look at who you THINK you are.

as long as you try to get things, you’re keeping them just out of your reach, because when you do that what you know yourself to be is a person manifesting, not a person who has it all.

what you are aware of right now is being vanessa who is waiting for an imaginary scenario to take place

to be aware means to be. if the thing isn’t it means you’re not and that’s all the feedback you need. all the process requires is letting go of thinking you are vanessa.

manifesting is struggling, life is effortless

you never actually ‘knew’ it, you intellectualized it and continued to look for ways to satisfy vanessa’s desires. you never went there.

Genuinely. Girl. Stop thinking you ARE her

If you weren't her, would you think about any responsability? You would be free to think of whatever tomorrow you want in which there are no responsibilities

When you fully understand the thoughts are not you, while do you give them attention or importance?

That's what it is. You think you HAVE TO take care of this, that, etc.

Vanessa is hit by a bus tomorrow .... ooof.... and you just wasted your last night in all these thoughts.

Every time you fall back into it, ask yourself WHO IS THINKING? WHO IS THIS ABOUT?

Tomorrow doesn't have to happen to you as Vanessa again. There is only now; no yesterday and no tomorrow. Give up the memory of her and act in your mind as if you were fully free. Forget about her.

If she absolutely has to happen (which means you just believe the world is not in you but happening to you), she will without all these thoughts anyhow. And you will know how to act as her still. But if you didn't think of her existing where would she be?!

There is nothing to get rid of, only thoughts to be given up

Either you are body conscious and a slave of circumstances, or you are the universal consciousness itself — and in full control of every event.

Freedom from self-identification with a set of memories and habits, the state of wonder at the infinite reaches and riches of being, its inexhaustible creativity and total transcendence, the absolute fearlessness born from the realization of the illusoriness and transiency of every mode of consciousness — flow from a deep and inexhaustible source. To know the source as source and appearance as appearance, and oneself as the source only is self-realization.

The acceptance of the unreal as real is your obstacle; only by seeing the false as false and abandoning it will reality be brought into being.

All you need is to understand that you are the source of reality, that you give reality instead of getting it, that you need no support and no confirmation. Things are as they are, because you accept them as they are. Stop accepting them and they will dissolve.

You have never been, nor shall ever be a person. Refuse to consider yourself as one.

Fearlessness comes by itself, when you see that there is nothing to be afraid of. Reality is you alone. You gave it (the person/the world) reality through either your attention or identification.

Start scorching thoughts of limitation by ignoring them. An unrecognized visitor will soon leave. Your past self is nothing more than a thought.

Ask yourself: Who was born first, you or the world? As long as you give first place to the world, you are bound by it. Once you realize, beyond all trace of doubt that the world is in you and not you in the world, you are out of it.

the point is to not assign the role of the "decider" or the "doer" to anything or anyone other than yourself. you're asking me "who" decides when i already said you are all that it is. who or what else could possible be there? since there is nothing outside of you, or nothing other than yourself then what exactly is so confusing? don't ever be afraid to return to the basics if you get confused.

Why was going in a circle when you have always said anything is but I kept asking but what about this experience? How can I experience this?

There is no I so the experience just is and any experience is simply known and anything can be known. Everything arises in Awareness, no one is there to say but I didn't experience it! My reality is same.. I want to change.

All of these ideas are free to be expressed that's why experience is changing and never fixed.

If the idea of shifting arises, it is the experience. Don't look for evidence or proof because they are concepts/ideas known that's why they are. If it's not known then they don't exist.

It might not be the best choice of words but what you know is what is. Here the you is Awareness/That. That's nature of reality. " " the only existence.

If what is known is struggle then that's the experience, if ease and effortless is known that is the experience. Experience is not separate from Awareness.

All the separation known are ideas/concepts that's why it is experience.

I think Dee has spoken about before too something about love and beauty being known and that being the experience

Knowing=Experience

Experience=Knowing

But but before I end, this doesn't mean anyone needs to force upon the knowing, knowing is simply effortless. If you know yourself as this body, mind, thoughts that your experience but there is no you or your.

Just Awareness experiencing Itself or in better words That IS

hey i hope this isn't a dumb question but, when " " is experiencing a moment (or what the illusion likes to call 'imagining'), and that moment is unfolding like you said, how do you as awareness STAY aware of that moment? throughout the seeming day, i observe a seeming person, seemingly doing chores, work, responsibilities etc etc., but when i simply decide to experience/be aware of a different seeming person, that moment unfolds and happens ,but goes away once i go on with the rest of the day and i go back to experiencing this person.

how do i, as awareness, stay aware of whatever thing i decide to experience. i don't want to observe 'this' anymore, i'd like to stay continuously aware of the experience i want instead of only being aware of it temporarily and then going back to this ""life"" the moment i move on with the day

Hello,

It is always a choice to "go back to your old/current life" because it's what you think is more real. You think it's the "base" or "default" reality. It's a habit you formed from thinking you are this person.

It's not about making one experience more "permanent" than the other, both are equally illusory. The only thing that is really "permanent" is your sense of being, or " "

(trying to make something permanent is turning this into a method when it's not)

You can choose to focus on the "desired" life the same way you focus on this one and give it all your attention. There is no "old/current" life, only awareness of experience.

I recommended this post to someone yesterday but it's really good 👇🏾

There you have it. It's not real. It doesn't exist.

Everything you ever experience around you, is because of your awareness of it. Be it the snack that you love so much, or your crush, or your desired appearance. Everything. It's awareness. It's you.

There is no separation.

Stop trying to understand everything from the perspective of the character and then complaining that you don't get it. You're trying to understand it all through this illusion that you have created for yourself, that's not the way to go about it.

Stop seeking anything externally, go within. It's all there.

Don't try soo hard to drop your identification with the character, with y/n. Look inside, go backwards, and you'll realise what you Are. That's the whole point.

Go within, then go beyond all concepts.

You might think there's some process to it, something the mind can make sense of. Why would you feed that cluster of thoughts anything?

Why is it so important for the mind to make sense of anything? The character is an illusion, so is the mind, everything you label as anxiety and overthinking is just one thought interacting with another! They're not conscious. Neither are they aware. They just are, with no significance at all.

On the other hand, the SELF which you are looking for everywhere is simply aware of it all. Behind it all. Where you do not even bother to look because you are too busy trying to make sure the illusory self, the mind, this said person you are, understands what YOU are.

You give existence to them.

And you're under no obligation to make any sense to them. They're not even real. Ignore and they'll dissolve.

Go within my loves, within. And I'm not talking about the body, you know that.
