What about appreciating to time that you breathe while dying?

Remember what You are, actually never forget. 

From nothing, there is a body, even suffering is a gift. 

It’s a subjective opinion.

 

What’s better? What’s worse?

1: To have never been born.
Or
2: To be conscious of sensation. 
 

Is there even a choice? Is there any consent? 
 

It both horrific and magnificent.

Interesting to hear non-duality referred to as a teaching.

The words meaning is pointing to everything as one without a second, all encompassing, nothing excluded.

It insinuates the bodies natural tendency to separate, categorize, individualize, personalize and attempt to control its surroundings is just an egoic survival strategy/instinct the body develops from birth.

There's nothing right or wrong with it. Nonduality is just pointing out that that sense of being a separate self is ultimately illusory. 

At a certain time in human evolution it was crucial and it is still significant to a certain extent today regarding the body's survival. 

The apparent issue is that sense of self/survival mechanism doesn't have an adjustable switch. It just runs rampant like the energizer bunny. It takes over and becomes an entity in of itself.

It creates a rather threatening, scary, self centered experience of reality.  (matrix)

A nondual awakening would imply a recognition or seeing through these mechanisms of illusory separation.

There could also be a simple recognition of your life as a baby,  a time you had zero comprehension of separation, or even existing at all.
 

Do babies have nondual awakenings, not really.

So how did the idea of separation come about, exactly?

The separation came about when you realised you’d been given a name known as your personal identity.

The separation became so deeply imprinted into your mind that it felt normal and right. But for some people there’s an instinctive feeling that  something feels very off about being separate.

My own feeling came very early in life, I just spontaneously remembered that everyone of us started life as a baby, who knew nothing about separation or had any idea or concept of itself existing as a separate being distinct from it’s parents. 
 

That was my personal recognition of oneness, anyway.

If you wish to wake up you better be sleeping.

We all know how awake it is to feel inside a dream.

I like that one. ☝️ 

 

It’s hard to get a handle on what’s happening from inside a dream.

Up until the moment where you wake up. From where it all comes immediately clear. 

But what do you wake up to?

That is the question. Can you wake up to anything more than just another dream?
