    I was taking my 4yr old into school a few weeks ago and as we got to the door and opened it she giggled and said she "was the door then"! I asked her about it later and she said she felt like she was actually the door and herself, not just feeling like the door, but actually was the door. She really enjoyed telling me this and said it was a nice feeling. She was really happy when I told her it had a name called "non-duality" and lots of people experience being things. It was lovely to be able to connect with her about this despite not having experienced it myself. Obviously can't be sure she had a non-dual experience but highly likely.
    Grateful for non-duality teachers 🙏🏻 I hope one day I can realise this myself and that it comes on fully for my daughter when she's old enough (once the obligatory teenage rite of passage is passed 😅)

    For me I find the following 2 exercises useful
    1. Dream analogy. In a dream I can dream of a body seeing all kind of things in a dream world. In the dream seeing an apple is not I as a thing sees and apple as another thing. There is only awareness of seeing an apple. The dream body as the seer and the apple as the seen, are both in the seeing as a whole. Thus it's actually non-dual.
    2. The same when we think of a thought. The usual assumption as is reflected in our usual way of saying it is I am thinking of a thought. On closer reflection, there is actual no such thing as a thought as an object. There is only thinking. Or to put it more precise there is an awareness of thinking.
    The reason why we don't sense this non-duality as we perceive the world is that the belief that this world is physically real is so deeply entrenched in us. Not so for sages. To them this infinite waking world is no different from a dream except that it's longer.

    I find it absolutely fascinating that there is no difference between a dream we create in our sleep and the dream we experience while awake. The first is uncontrolled and the second is controlled, but both are hallucinations. Small wonder that hallucinogens like acid, mushrooms, etc. can be spiritually enlightening in that they reveal that normal consciousness is nothing more than a specific type of hallucination. We have no idea what the outside world is actually like. Our senses and brains evolved to survive with the specific type of conscious hallucination that we normally manifest day to day. But, like the Buddha said, "All is Mind”, so that knowledge alone is liberating in that it shows that we can theoretically or *actually* change our minds in order to produce permanent bliss. Many have claimed that they have done this, so unless people delude themselves about it, there is theoretical hope for the human race (albeit very few will awaken).

    I found out that love and gratitude is the secret,fully accept this moment and love it,see its perfection,that was what i never fully did,especially growing up,but yes i remember of when i was a child ,the memory always burned in me and in a way or another i always continued to search for It,something so ancient but at the same time so fresh,beyond time,eternal and so beautiful that makes the heart open and tears flow .

      ​@@ann337 very beautifully said my friend,i think that this apparent distancing from Consciousness is a necessary process,like an animal is more in contact with Consciousness but not in a conscious way,so we create the ego and than when Consciousness grows enough until it dissolves and we return in full contact with Consciousness but this time fully conscious of It. Basically the animal (even the child even if a little less) is in a state of oneness,but in the realized human he/she is not just in a state of oneness is in a state where Consciousness knows itself,which for be specific is not even a state,anyway merry christmas and thank you for sharing your inspiring experience,many many blessings ; )

    I think I came close at 14 when I remember always feeling like there was someone watching me… I knew it wasn’t God. I felt like it was everyone else but even in my most private moments not sure how to describe it, but I remember at that time, I felt the most connected I have ever felt to life and the presence… I was also the happiest of my entire 40 years

It felt like the best and most important part of life, I couldn’t understand why no-one else talked about it. In the 6th Double Barrel session with Chris your pointing to this was very touching and brought me here 💚🙏

    Since early childhood, I have occasionally experienced this thought reverie in idle hours: there would be a general sense of how the world is, how people are busy getting by in their lives, happy one moment, sad in the next, completely oblivious to this cycle for decades, and then the thought will suddenly zap back to “me”, “Oh, I am also ‘one’ person” and not this Vastness that was observing everything, and it would feel disappointing and marvellous at the same time. I couldn’t quite catch the transition point between that Vastness and personhood ever.
    Is there a touch of that Realisation here ? This is kind of the only thing that I feel strange and deep that has happened with me since before I had read or heard anything on this subject at all.

    What if some thoughts are actually true. For example, childhood trauma took my life away from me and at 30, I’m single having lost out on many years. Isn’t that thought true?

    • @hellucination9905
      @hellucination9905 Рік тому

      It is. You feel the negative effects of it. But you can reframe them through therapy and/or meditation.
      I'm in the same boat like you with my CPTSD.

    • @simonganley9963
      @simonganley9963 Рік тому

      This inquiry begs an important question, what is true?
      You say that trauma took your life away from you, and yet you are typing this. By describing yourself as 30 and single and missing out, you've negated the first statement. Your life was not taken away, because here you are saying that you are living as a 30 year old, single, lost person. Which do you suppose is true? Is any of it true? Is your existence solely limited to those two options of description?
      It might seem a little pedantic to think like this, but when asking 'what is true' these things are crucial to point out. Most thoughts, if not ALL thoughts aren't pointing toward truth, but rather are micro-narratives driving the image you have of yourself.
      My answer would be to go deeper, see if you can find the source of the thought. See if you can find a perceiver of the thought.
      Most importantly, continue to ask yourself 'what is true.' Truth is the guiding light, the red-hot laser that disintegrates illusions as soon as it shines upon them. Keep trying to answer that question until there is no more doubt.

    • @ganapatikitty

      This is my own perception but it is true and it isn’t. Everything has neutral meaning and you gave it a very tiny selective meaning and you’re giving the vastness of reality a tiny meaning of “trauma” and “lost out” when if you become centered in the moment, you can now define reality as whatever you wish, and detach the moment from all stories of the past, you literally can morph your mind into something else. So In my opinion all versions are correct, you are the one who can make it correct and real and true, or you have the power to pull it back and give all focus and truth to something else. For example, your childhood was good, it could have been worse, you’ve learned many things and currently you are happy that you’ve found joy. Or it could even be the disappointments of my childhood trauma have brought my mind and life to a higher degree of depth and now I can embrace joy for what it really is in this moment. Nothing is taken from you , you can claim any perspective you want now
