Would you please make a video on the illusion of the personality/me. Here you have touched the subject. Ramana and Nisargadatta talked about the ‘I'. But I only find my illusory personality as a I, not beyond that. So how to look through the illusion of me ? Who am I ? ‘your’ understanding very much resonates with ‘me'. So please make a video.
😳 Can your eye see itself (directly, not in a mirror?) No. The eye cannot see the eye. Similarly the "I" cannot see the "I." Your eye can only _Be_ your eye. Similarly, Being can only _be_ Being, not see it. There is 'no one.' So "we" cannot see beyond the illusion, only _be_ beyond the illusion. In fact, we already are. Because Reality, The One Whole, non-illusion, is all there is. Water can only _be_ water. It can not sense it's own 'wetness.'
I am constantly having the question, whether the world is a dream or not, in my mind. All the teachers (e.g. Ramana) and the scriptures I am connected to (e.g., Ribhu Gita) say so. But I have not exprienced it as such. I have never "experienced" the void, never had an objectless stateless-state etc. that would confirm the world being a dream. Is it a metaphore when sages say that or is does it tuely mean that the world is exactly like a dream? Clearly, there are many differences between the dream state and the waking state.
Hi Elad. Yes, I can confirm both night-dreams _and_ this 'waking dream' are illusions. Simultaneously 'real' and unreal. And only 'seen' in the subject-objectless stateless-state beyond 'mind.' When you say, "I am constantly having the question," _Who_ is having it? It is only the mind asking that question/desiring an answer, but that answer will not be available to 'mind.' So, Elad, I would suggest asking different questions: - "Who" is having this question? Is there really an actual 'enclosed self'' in there, when you go looking? - If not, if there is only pure Awareness, does that Awareness have this question or care about the answer? Or is it just Being, Is-ness? - Will your mind knowing the 'answer' to whether the world is exactly like a dream, or not, truly advance "your" own 'seeing through the illusion' (realization,) or is it just a mind-diversion and distraction? Perhaps letting go of all such mental questions, and just allowing Being, will accommodate a big leap forward, and a sudden 'seeing,' not available through worrying about whether or not the dream is dream.:-)

A Question:
What does that mean: "Die before you die"?
I am constantly having the question, whether the world is a dream or not, in my mind. All the teachers (e.g. Ramana) and the scriptures I am connected to (e.g., Ribhu Gita) say so. But I have not exprienced it as such. I have never "experienced" the void, never had an objectless stateless-state etc. that would confirm the world being a dream. Is it a metaphore when sages say that or is does it tuely mean that the world is exactly like a dream? Clearly, there are many differences between the dream state and the waking state.
Start to see your understandings, searching and words. Then and only then will you see them as not so.
