This is kind of funny because nonduality is a word pointing out that, "separation isn't real" So the very question "Non dual versus God realization" stems from that illusory experience of duality. The belief that they are 2 different things is the illusory experience that the meaning of nonduality is attempting to reveal ❤️

You guys need to let go of letting go of letting go..... 🤣

It slows and can even temporarily stop the endless conditioned mind chatter or monkey mind distraction. Recognitions occur easier with that distraction eliminated. There are many different meditation techniques, and one isn't really better than the other because every body is wired a little differently. I personally recommend the focusing on the breathing technique 👌 ❤️

"The ego construct is nothing more than the impulse to repeat. It is simply the path that energy once took and the tendency for the energy to take that path again, whether it is positive or negative for the organism" - Samadhi Part 1 Maya (illusion of self)

The self illusion is never satisfied, It feels incomplete within the illusory experience of being a separate individual. So it seeks & seeks & seeks.......Financial success, stardom, religion/spirituality, materialism, intelligence, truth. There's no real universal purpose for anything, including spirituality. Any answer would just be an opinion/belief or guess. Spirituality isn't even real......it's just a grouping of differing actions/beliefs that people are in agreeance with as being "spiritual" For example, is riding a horse less spiritual than a meditation/yoga practice? The self illusion is needy and never satisfied. Because of this, it gets into all sorts of endeavors ❤️

@PurpleTree Hi, Awakening is a clear recognition revealing that this needy self character wanting to attain awakening.....isn't actually real....it's an illusion of self construct. There isn't a real "You" inside that PurpleTree body over there There IS a body, but its actually empty...... that needy "You" character isn't really in there. That's the self-illusion So the issue is: how could there ever be a practice or method, to literally help an illusion, recognize that its an illusion Any spiritual practice or method suggests that there is in fact, a real "You" which could benefit from spiritual practices in the future Awakening isn't a result of spiritual practices, methods, meditation or genetics.........it's a simple recognition which allows for an enormous energetic relaxation of the body. An energetic shift away from upholding this needy self construct It can seem to happen anytime, anywhere and to anyone....but it certainly does seem rare Nothing actually needs to happen in the future because, it's already that now It's just either recognized, or it isn't........doesn't matter either way ❤️

There isn't anyone actually resisting, so it doesn't matter what happens 🤔🤣🫢 ❤️

Haha, yeah I understand what you mean. It's not like forgetting who the "ME" character was, or something like that. Actually its easier to see and understand how this illusion of identity seemed to take form from a young age. I know, it seems like it would be a massive life changing event with fireworks or something ......but no, not really at all. It can feel shocking at first, but also very ordinary at the same time......it can seem scary, funny, awkward and radical, all at once It's actually pretty incredible just how much energy goes into the illusory character called "ME"..........so the biggest change is in the relaxing of the energy used to uphold that illusory "ME" construct.......it's often referred to as an energetic shift, which I find is a good way of describing the phenomenon. But preferential choices still SEEM to happen, the difference is, its obvious now, they aren't being chosen by or happening for anyone. So a choice can SEEM to be made to climb into a nice warn hot tube instead of a cold swimming pool........but that's just the body wanting to enjoy some warm water at that particular time! Same as a deer in the woods choosing to eat one type of grass over another ❤️

Yup, Its also ego attempting to let go of control. It believes that letting go of control, will benefit itself in someway. But its not real. It's an illusion of a self. There isn't an ego and then a real self underneath the ego. There is only ego. And when it SEEMINGLY dies or drops, there isn't anyone left. EVERYTHING just becomes emptiness recognizing emptiness OR fullness recognizing fullness. But it's not even a recognition because the word recognition implies there is a separate someone to recognize something. There isn't. Nobody becomes enlightened or liberated, so there's no hope in that sense. Freedom is the end of a someone that isn't really there, but SEEMED to be. So it's a non happening. And when it SEEMINGLY occurs, it's simultaneously realized that NOTHING actually happened, because it wasn't really there to begin with. Freedom, enlightenment, liberation, samadhi, emptiness and fullness are this very same EVERYTHING. Which is already REALITY. It's impossible to be outside of EVERYTHING because there isn't a separate individual in the first place. The separation never actully occurred, it only SEEMED to occur, upon another body telling that body, it was an individual, and that body believing it to be true! ❤️

I wanted the truth and nothing but.........so I just kept seeking and seeking and seeking.......then without warning, the seeker died or rather was realized to have never been real! Absolutely nothing was achieved lol ❤️

Its already the case there as well! 😊

Gotcha, yea! Here it just became so obvious that it wasn't real, it's as if it became starved of energy overtime. Like a water valve slowly being turned off. Tension in the body drastically decreased as well! ❤️

Dissolving is one way to describe it. Here it was more like a clear realization that "I" was just never there from the start...... "I" only seemed to be there! It wasn't like forgetting who "I" was or where "I" lived or what "my" prior life was like. At a certain point during inquiry, it just became super obvious that this "ME" character was not a real entity...... It definitely seemed radical and awkward at the time......like a weight of burden lifted off the shoulders. Point being, it was not something forced...... Like you described...... it's more like clearly seeing these layers of personal stories, thoughts, beliefs, labels, etc etc......... simply did not equal a real character called "ME" So nothing really dissolved even. The recognition was just so obvious....... It was more like "huh, there isn't a ME interesting" 😲 It was radical and ordinary simultaneously There's nothing to force........ less forcing more recognizing 🤣😅😂 ❤️
