naming itself into existence. Understand that fabricating the one that it appears to, is child's play.
The inner monologue can no longer hide behind 'you' so to speak. In the clear light of day, the inner monologue is unmasked. Realization is the mask removing itself.
Everything is bound by the resistance of it. If there is no resistance, there is no life.
A building is standing because it is resisting its fall on the ground. A vehicle is moving as it is moving through tractive resistances. Electric current becomes usable because of resistances applied. Our brain operates because of continuous resistance of ‘pain and uncertainty’ it faces. The illusion sees as if the resistance can be or has been undone- hence dullness, decay.
We are conscious against being not conscious. This resistance, this tenseness moves life.
I feel like I understand non-duality intellectually, but struggle to live it day to day. I understand that we are the knowing/awareness, and that the observer itself can’t be observed. But I still get completely caught up in the illusion of separation.
One thing that helps is people-watching and recognising that the same knowing I experience as “mine” is there too, just different forms of the one.
What has actually helped you take non-duality from intellectual understanding to lived experience?
