      How so? No one is on a journey to find something that is missing or to get to a different destination. There is no separation. There is not two. The Spiritual quest stems from the sense of lack. Which is really the sense of duality or separation. When this stops 'happening' it never existed. No Self has a self or another self or a 'true self' or a non-self or a no self. Somebody cannot find nobody. We cannot work this out. We do not need to reach a psychological accommodation with the Way it is; rather we are the Way it is. There is only the Way it is. This is no thing or NOTHING and yet it includes everything. It does not depend on us. It does not even need us. The Way it is is not trying to become something else. Nothing needs to happen for this to be what it already is. It is this already. It does not depend on your 'practice.' It does not depend on good behaviour or hard work. It does not need you to be virtuous. The Spiritual seeker thinks that he/she can overcome the anxiety of separation by finding even more separation. They say, I will I will leave worldly concerns behind and live a holy life in order to find something else. There is nothing else. There is only everything and nothing.

    Today i.e., 17th July 2024 at around 10pm metaphorically the lights switch off, and the understanding dawned, nothing ever happens. However, paradoxically for this individual body-mind things happen. Happening & time by large is limited to subjectivity which inherently & actively functions to verify and posit something is happening but from the one substance's perspective it is what it is, it is pure being without the notion of what it becomes, it simply is.
    For water there are no waves, but for the limited human-individual-subjectivity there's waves, and the ocean.

    The essence of the mind is virtue/attributes. These fill spaces. Mercy, justice, grace, kindness, generosity, etc. Qualities or gunas shape the space. Gunas like: light, dark, rough, smooth, nothingness, transcendence. "Nothing" is a guna, it shapes the space. Virtue, like "knowledge" or "wisdom" fills it. Gunas are the lamp, and virtues are the Light. Most of the time we only see gunas in people (the lamp) and not their virtue (the light). Because the lamp can be shut and not let out the light.

    There is a contracted energy in the body which at the age of two brings about a change in human beings. They become self-aware. It is so called 'terrible 2's. That is the origin of the sense of separation. It is the origin of the sense of I am. I am in here (meaning the body) and everything else is out there. This is duality. There is separation. I know and I am, go together. There is apparent certainty with I am. I am, means I have reality and also, I have a life. Everything out there is happening to me. Then we think, 'why is life so unfair? Why am I here? What is it all about? Thus, I know has been replaced with 'I need to know.' There is no answer to 'I need to know.' That is why we turn to religion and to spirituality. We say, this is not enough. The apparent separation is disconcerting. It is not alright! Something must be missing! Something needs to happen! I must find what I am looking for! I must find a better experience! It is all my fault. Spirituality is the quest to find something else. Religion will tell us stories. It will give us a road map to find what is missing.
    Nothing is missing. Nothing needs to happen. Nothing can happen. There is no separation; there is not two.
    What is includes everything. There is no separation. You are what is. There is nothing outside of all there is and there is nothing inside of all there is.
    What is, is everything that appears to be happening. Everything is not a thing. It is no - thing or nothing and yet it includes everything. Therefore, what is, is nothing appearing as everything. You cannot get it. You cannot get closer to it or further away from it because YOU ARE IT.
    The dualistic so called, 'mind' cannot find its own absence. It cannot find no mind. It is not about being virtuous. Non duality is not a reward for good behaviour or hard wark.
    There is no such thing as TIME. The Past is a memory. The Future is just a concept. The present moment is a concept. It vanishes as soon as it appears. There is no boundary between the Past, Present and Future. How short is the Present moment? Is it a second, or a 100th of a second. It shrinks to a vanishingly small space. In the end it vanishes to nothing. Nothing is Zero and Zero is infinite. The Present Moment is Nothing and yet it includes everything. Wherever you look, we see Nothing and Everything simultaneously.
    If there is no time, NO ONE IS MOVING IN A BUBBLE THROUGH TIME CALLED 'MY LIFE'. There is life but non one 'has it.'

    Hi Hans Christian 👍✨ well done
    Indeed, in general people do not realise that - the persona -
    or the so-called - I am - is an entirely made up psychological and mental even predominantly linguistic entity !
    There is nothing substantially real to it at all .. other then an elaborate - story of me - in which all other me’s / friends / society, etc. believe
    Of course thus by mutual believe and agreement they then obviously confirm each other’s pseudo existence etc and this goes on and on, ad infinitum
    Also, as you mentioned, all this labelling and naming with language (and thus including thoughts) is an exclusively and entirely mental / psychological game that has no reality to it whatsoever other then again the habitual believe by the - me - and all other - me’s - or - I am’s - in said naming and linguistic labeling
    But the believe in this linguistic labelling is so strong and so big that it creates their lives, their existence and even the whole world
    In the beginning there was the Word
    The Word was with the - I Am -
    and the Word created all
    and the Word would become flesh
    The ancient Greeks who were the students of the executed Socrates were spot-on, they knew what you know
    Prince Buddha inspired Socrates with his core teaching - no self - anatta -
    Also Yeshua was inspired by this
    These students of Socrates had fled to Alexandria after his execution and from there they have written the most amazing works trying to explain the power of the Word
    However they had to use parables for their own safety in those days
    They had to infiltrate those words, their texts, back into religious texts without being discovered
    Those ingenious parables cannot be understood by 99% of all common people
    The sad issue of the conditioned separated mind is that every-one does this linguistic labelling non-stop and habitually, learned from babyhood, from the moment they wake up etc
    and they are heavily addicted to it ! .. however you clearly not, for which I salute you
    Sadly one needs to play this repetitive simpleton game in order to function in the ego minded society or matrix
    Even the so called spiritually inclined are caught up in the conditioned mind society and forever seeking and addicted to the search ..
    For sure you play the matrix society game wonderfully, yet obviously it is not the essence of what you are !
    As the Ancient Chinese said:
    if you wish to play with dogs, you must smell like a dog

      The sense here regards the construction of the illusion is that it has an energetic (?) quality to it as well. Maybe in regards to the body’s response to the apparent setting up of the illusion. A tension appears that can relax upon the seeing through.

    There's no thing or nothing (a separate, permanent, object in space and time) that exists. There's also no not thing either. Duality is the illusion that a body/mind is a real point of view for "me", the owner of the body.
    By the way, "A conditioned mind" is also a concept 😉

    If nothing is happening, then this includes this video which means, this channel. Nothing happens here. I'm gone, and never coming back. I'm telling you, THIS is happening!
    Update: it seems that I have to comment on some remarks below. On a more serious note, please notice (and this is not controversial) that our mind is capable both of segregation and unification, of differentiation but also constructing gestalts. Due to this inherent capability of the human mind we can separate individual objects but also have perspective, unity, a sense of non-duality. Yet, if nothing is happening, as it is claimed, this, by reductio ad absurdum is self-refuting, thus trivial. It should not be taken seriously. Surely, statements such as "Nothing happens" or " everything is happening, but only apparently" one would consider them as something. They are propositions that can be taken apart, can be memorized, written or read. Without segregation, all the words in this comment would be completely meaningless.

    These teachings are from advait (non duality) vedanta. The scriptures are "Vedas and Upanishads" written thousands of years ago by various ancient writers (Rishi Muni) in Sanskrit language but without mentioning of any names (because of no ego involved in documenting knowledge). The scriptures comes under "Hinduism" originally known as "Sanatana Dharma" for the world with the slogan "Vasudev kutumbkam" (means the world is one family) and hence spread everywhere in the world by various Gurus just to spread the truth and not with the intention to convert anyone into some belief. Hinduism itself a wrong name because here we explore the mind by seeking the truth. Advait vedanta is the most precise knowledge on human mind ever discovered and as conscious beings we must be greatful for it that atleast we have some already explored conscious support against the maaya (illusion) of mind which leads it to eternal pain and suffering from something which doesn't even exist(😅). There are 108 core Upanishads and over 200 upnishads in total. I think studying the core ones are enough to explore the truth. All the knowledge of this advait vedanta is fit in the word "OM" (A + U + M + "empty space") and symbol of OM is 🕉️ which is now also represents the hinduism as religion but it is not just a symbol but also a deep explanation of advait vedanta. Please also watch the explanation of OM (i will mention a video). The explanation is also exists in mandukya upnishad.
