Non Duality: Everything You Need to Know ☯️

​

​
Non-duality is the most devious thing ever. It’s supposed to serve the great escape but mostly serves the great entrenchment.
​
Many of us, when we have reached the point of non-duality during our years of spiritual searching, think that’s it. We’ve reached the end. Non-duality is the truth we’ve been looking for.
​
But non-duality is not a destination.
​
​It’s not a destination because it simply is what is. Nonetheless, for our purposes, namely seeing through delusion, deception, and falsehood, non-duality is another thing.

Infinite Jest 🤣

​

"That certain persons simply will not like you no matter what you do.
...
That no matter how smart you thought you were, you are actually way less smart than that.
...
That sleeping can be a form of emotional escape and can with sustained effort be abused.
...
That purposeful sleep-deprivation can also be an abusable escape. That gambling can be an abusable escape, too, and work, shopping, and shoplifting, and sex, and abstention, and masturbation, and food, and exercise, and meditation/prayer
...
That you do not have to like a person in order to learn from him/her/it. That loneliness is not a function of solitude.
...
That some people really do steal -- will steal things that are yours.
...
​That logical validity us not guarantee of truth. That evil people never believe they are evil, but rather that everyone else is evil. That it is possible to learn valuable things from a stupid person. That it takes effort to pay attention to any one stimulus for more than a few seconds.
...
That boring activities become, perversely, much less boring if you can concentrate intently on them.
...
That sometimes human beings have to just sit in one place and, like, hurt. That you will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.
...
That concentrating intently on anything is very hard work.
...
That it is simply more pleasant to be happy than to be pissed off. That 99% of compulsive thinkers' thinking is about themselves; that 99% of this self-directed thinking consists of imagining and getting ready for things that are going to happen to them; and then, weirdly, that if they stop to think about it, that 100% of the things they spend 99% of their time and energy imagining and trying to prepare for all the contingencies and consequences of are never good.
...
In short that 99% of the head's thinking activity consists of trying to scare the everliving shit out if itself.
...
That the people to be most frightened of are the people who are the most frightened. That it takes great personal courage to let yourself appear weak.
...
That no single, individual moment is in and of itself unendurable.
...
That the cliché 'I don't know who I am' unfortunately turns out to be more than a cliché.
...
That other people can often see things about you that you yourself cannot see, even if those people are stupid.
...
That 'acceptance' is usually more a matter of fatique than anything else.
...
That, perversely, it is often more fun to want something than to have it.
...
That everybody is identical in their secret unspoken belief that way deep down they are different from everyone else.
...
That God -- unless you're Charlton Heston, or unhinged, or both -- speaks and acts entirely through the vehicle of human beings, if there is a God."

Wishing The Way Away 🛣

​

Always somewhere
Always going somewhere else
From here to there
From there to here
Is it there?
Is it here?
Never stopping
Never questioning
No matter where
No matter who
The hope for control
The hope for arrival
Forever
Wishing you were there
Forever
Wishing the way away
