We are each the Dreamer waking from a dream within a dream. As we let go of the attachment, our sense of self as a ‘centre’, we cross the bridge of transcendence that is biologically created in the brain for spiritual awareness (the kingdom of heaven is within). We awaken and see ego is the nature of mind and the illusion of separation.

Happy happenings,

Hi John,

Thanks for commenting. An ongoing look at how mental impressions create and shape the world allow one to accept duality, the arising sense of nonduality, or even the condition of nonduality. There are people with zero spiritual inclinations who get thrown into nondual awareness and they can either accept it or take steps to avoid it. At any step along the way from addictions and cravings to spiritual awareness to realization of the Self, there needs to be mindfulness, as the Buddhists would say. Mindfulness is this “unrelenting explanation” that you speak of. It’s the continual realization that I’m dying, falling apart. It’s the allowing of that so that what I am in truth may be known.

Best,
Jerry

Most of what I know of non-duality is what I’ve learned in many years of studying A COURSE IN MIRACLES, and, more specifically, Dr. Ken Wapnick’s writings and workshops on ACIM. For me, the greatest benefit in ACIM is its unrelenting explanation of why we chose, and still choose, the illusion of duality. Is acceptance of nonduality possible without this awareness? Thanks.

nonduality is not a thing therefore it defies description. Just BE

We do not have to dwell in awareness to be realized. We only have to give up the pretense that we aren’t awake — or not. There is no interconnectedness, because to connect one must first be separate. There is no separation, just this. We’re just pretending, dreaming it all up. When you stop describing everything to yourself, that’s all over.

Hi, thanks for your comment. It deserves a response that quotes Buddhist passages and perhaps someone will provide that. On the level of “enlightened already” it doesn’t matter whether the difference between samsara and nirvana is known. On the human and worldly level it makes a difference as long as there is the desire to awaken or to understand the nature of things. However, a person with the interest and desire to awaken does not have to focus on topics of samsara and nirvana or the goal of dwelling in awareness. There are other ways to turn attention.

Hi All,

If samsara is nirvana (ref. Madhyamaka school), then why does it make a difference if one is aware of this fact or not? That is, if we are all enlightened already, then why do we have to dwell in awareness in order to be realized? Isn’t this merely creating another dualistic construct, ie, between awareness (and associated realization) and non-awareness?

Thanks

Non duality = Non discrimination. Not a thing is better or worse than any other thing. God is no better or worse than Devil. Both unique. No choice, no discrimination, INDIFFERENT.
