Why is it important to you?

Joseph you’ve already answered your question.

Okay, so you is real, but where is this real you when you die? Is a dead “ you” real too?

It’s entirely your prerogative to say whatever you want, if it’s what’s being perceived there in your mind. I just personally think all the trouble started when the parents gave their offspring a name. That’s when the separation started. But that’s just my belief, I’m not expecting anyone to agree with me. Others can think for themselves of course, and it won’t change my mind one iota. It’s a human activity, naming creates known objects. So it’s normal anyway. If we were all conceptually mute like the rest of nature, then what the hell is separation anyway? What does a planet know about separation? The fiction of separation is real for the human mind because the human mind was the phenomenon that created it with their conceptual language.

The knowledge of what is real and unreal is determined by their distinction. How else would you know the difference between what’s real and unreal? What does REAL actually mean to you Breakingthewall? Will you say in no more than 6 or 10 words, what real means to you personally. Thanks for not writing a book in your reply. It’s starts to get too heavy. Let’s keep it simple.

I see myself as a real created fictional character, yes.

And you can’t say “distinct” without using the word. Questions can only arise to the sense of a separate self anyway. So the onus is on the one who created the question to answer to it’s own created question.

Since when has spirituality ever denied reality? When you said it does? Okay then, it’s only a matter of language. Let’s Feel the difference: 1: “I am sights, sounds, movement” implies “I am the world.” 2: “There are only sights, sounds, movement” implies there is only the world. This is unity, And it is already there. It’s not necessary to add a superfluous ( I ) to what’s already T/here.

Obviously.

But that’s just your opinion, it’s how you see it there. If it’s mental isolation and closedness, that’s all your projection there, not anyone else’s, at least not mine here. I don’t see any mental isolation or closedness when I think about oneness, I see open boundless infinite vastness, quite the opposite of isolation in fact. But don’t take my word for it, think this through for yourself, see what you want to see. For me, the way I perceive reality to be, is that it always presents itself as an absolute presentation, not as a representation. A representation would be a false reality, because reality is only ever being itself from moment to moment uninterrupted, it’s never being here on behalf of something else separated from itself, which to me means being represented by a separate entity. Now that to me would be a very limited reality, because entities don’t last forever, they appear and disappear in what is ultimately always this seamless presentation we call reality.

Of course separation exists, in the relative sense, yes. But in the absolute sense, the source of every relative thing is seen as oneness. Of course, in our day-to-day physical reality, separation is very real and necessary. Without it, the universe could not function. That’s not being denied. The hand is separate from the heart, the heart pumps blood, not the hand. Both the heart and hand are different parts of the same singular body. That’s all that’s being pointed to. From a universal or non-dual perspective, all boundaries are ultimately illusions constructed by the human mind. Everything in existence is seen as an interconnected whole. Just as your hand and foot are different parts of the same body, so are all things viewed as parts of a singular existence. If you don’t like what the word ( illusion) is pointing to in this subject topic, then that’s fine by me. Also, the word illusion has many interpretations. So it’s a useful word when used in the correct context, of course. Make up your own mind about these things, I’m not here to doubt anything you think about these things, think what you like, I do.

The separation is a real illusion. "An illusion shared by everyone becomes a reality."

It’s like having the best of both worlds. Like "living in two worlds" referring to the simultaneous experience of the tangible, physical realm and the unseen, spiritual dimension. It represents the balance between navigating daily earthly responsibilities and maintaining a deep, intuitive connection with higher consciousness.

Yes indeed, how wonderful. 🤗

“Seek not that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a tranquil flow of life”.

Dear God…😱

So don’t worry be happy now. Don’t be sad. I mean my God, imagine what it’s like for God. Just remember you can do this, if God can, then surely you can. Come on now, that’s the spirit. 👍

And remember folks… everyone, everybody, everything is alone in it’s own aloneness. So you are not the only one feeling alone, and that realisation ought surely to bring some sort of comfort and relief. Happy unmitigated aloneness to you all. 🫵

Continue to view the mind as a labelling machine. That’s its purpose, to stop you from going insane. You then, are exactly what it says on the tin. It’s truly good to know what you didn’t know. That’s the magical nature of the mind. It’s your imaginary friend for life. 🤭

One who is content and happy to be alone in their own solitude for all their born life is a true and real God. God is completely self-existent, sovereign, and without beginning or end. God is not dependent on anything or anyone else for His existence. Alternatively…Successful relationships including Marriage is a human form of legalised slavery demanding full mastery in the art of selfless sacrifice and total commitment. This too, is the artistry of a true and real God. Everything in between is the misery self, full of self loathing, pity, existential dread and fear, as man cannot serve two masters. Good luck, and choose wisely, it’s not a mission impossible, because when it comes to God, anything is possible.

Ty.

Remove the superfluous “ I “ will reveal the true real answer. No “ I “ is ever found in experience. When the “I” is removed from the question, the description of what is really experienced is true.

I think you underestimate. I noticed the pun, death for me is true enlightenment. So I guess we both teaching the same enlightenment, appearing as both death and life.
