The entire world is in your mind which means whatever you consider “plausible” “possible” or “likely” happens. Once you start to defy the so-called rules of reality and return to your Self, everything will be considered possible to you.

Matthew 19:26 NIV:

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

I stepped away from tumblr for a while to really seek my Self fully and put into practice what I knew because I was tired of constantly re-identifying with the body. You can’t experience it a few times and ruminate over it 10x more than you experience. It’s only simple when you experience, NOT when you think about it. You have to experience it as many times as you need until it becomes your permanent identification instead of getting swayed by the body/mind again. So anyway I started doing guided meditations to release emotions first. Now I don’t really feel the need to do a guided meditation I can just acknowledge and release an emotion as soon as it comes up. Now I am more so focused on abiding in Self, consistently returning home, because when you return to your Self all the emotions and thoughts leave, even if just for a split second. Now when I start getting invested in storylines I’ll automatically snap out of the hypnosis and it’ll go quiet lol. And even when my mind doesn’t automatically go silent, I can just consciously observe it being noisy. It’s funny when you step back and observe, you realize the mind is like a tape recorder, just looping the same thoughts again and again, usually about the past or the future. When you realize the thoughts are just an observation and you are the observer, it really sounds ridiculous, like a broken record. Remember the end goal is complete surrender and death of personal identity.

What is this experience?

Who named this experience “my life”? Who created it? God? Who and where is God then? Well the one who calls it “my life” must be the creator of “my life”. Notice how you always at the epicenter of every experience. You cannot prove that experiences exist without you first being aware of them, even if someone told you it happened in the past, you experienced it in the present via them telling you. Now, what about these other people then? Who created them? Well you tell me, who are they without their bodies and minds, and who are you without your body and mind? Now there is no creation and only ONE ☝️ who was pretending to be many via appearance.

Earlier I was feeling anxious while out in public and I silently asked myself “who is anxious?” and I realized no one was there to be anxious, and I felt calm. The rest of the time while I was out, the person blended into the background, it was just part of the scenery. Emotions may arise, but they are happening to no one. Events may arise, but they are happening to no one.

No reason to stop living life

Y’all just because you discovered ND doesn’t mean you have to stop “living your life” and do nothing. Go follow your dreams, you can have a career or go to college or be a scuba diver idc, you don’t have to spend all day trying to figure your Self out (a mistake I made) because you’re always your Self regardless of what you do or don’t do. Don’t be afraid to take risks and do whatever you’ve always wanted to do. We’re here for a reason (at least I believe that), let’s live a little 🤪

I think it’s easy to get into the doomer/nihilist mindset when you take anything too seriously lol

Is everything really possible?

Impossible and possible are concepts kept alive by your imagination. I could say it’s impossible for me to fly or it’s possible, but neither is true because I’m not a person who’s flying or not flying.

Who invented the concept of flying, who is the person who wants to fly, and who made flying impossible? It’s all in the mind.

It happened again

Idk if y’all care but I want to share another experience. A vein in my hand was hurting for no reason and I look through the pain to find the source. Again there was no source and the pain dissipated. The same goes for emotional pain and thoughts, look for the source and they disappear.

How did you used to keep reminding yourself that you're "   ". How long did it take to reidentify with yourself from the character's perspective? Would love to hear your experience

It’s not a conscious reminder like an affirmation, it’s more like an automatic snap back into reality after remembering you are the consciousness projecting everything. Reidentification is instant as soon as you see what you are, it’s not a gradual process. The process is how long you can HOLD the identity. We will all eventually have full devotion to Self, it’s the ending of the game. I am at the phase where I still have a knee-jerk reaction of identifying with some thoughts but I have the permanent background of Self that I can always fall back into.

I think it’s way easier to fall into identification with the mind than the body, because it’s subtler and not something you can physically touch, but the “voice in your head” and images you get are still something you observe and not you. Thoughts should be treated as objects just like everything else you observe.

What do I mean when I say “illusion”?

I’m not saying you are hallucinating as if you were on drugs or you need to stop seeing things, it’s more like one of those drawings where you can see a rabbit or a duck, but in reality it’s just ink.
