I’ve Had Great “success” With Non-duality, Yet My Knowing Of The True Self Does Not Remain Permanent.

Hiii 🩷

So I was wondering if you ever experienced this or not :

I don't care about things anymore cause I know it's all an illusion and I choose when I want to experience the emotions or not. Nothing affects me anymore (without my permission). I am at peace but I can't be aware of something new. I guess I am being aware of something new each seconds to "create" my days, my emotions and stuff, but I can't be aware of non familiar things that I would like to experience.

I could live like that and not worry about it haha , but knowing our true self should "lead" to knowing our true power and knowing how to just BE aware of any illusion, since it's our nature, right ?

And everything is me so it sounds stupid to say "non-familiar" but you know what I meant (?) I could also just "imagine" but it's all blurry so no fun.

So I don't know what I'm missing, any advice ? Sorry if it sounds dumb 😅

Hello there!💗

Don't worry you don't sound dumb at all.

And only advice I have is, stop waiting. For anything to happen.

What imagination? And what reality? They're one and same.

Stop thinking you're missing anything. Because what YOU are cannot miss anything, because you are EVERYTHING.

"I can't be aware"

There's nothing like that. Because you ARE this said Awareness. You are ALL. Stop trying.

There is still a gap from when I assume things and when they show up... I don't want to wait. I read your post about results being instant and they still aren't instant...

Give up the idea of being what you think yourself to be and there will be no gap. By imagining yourself as separate you have created the gap. You are imagining the delay. All is you and yours. There is nobody else. This is a fact.

DO YOU EVEN REALISE HOW WITH THE SPEED OF LIGHT YOU 'MANIFEST' THINGS?

I really don't get it how y'all say I can't 'manifest' this or that!

Are you seeing this world rn? Yeah you created it...you are creating it every fucking second...by being aware of it! These trees...walls...your family....pillow...fridge... Everything you are 'manifesting' RN!!

You are expecting to see this same dream world and then asking how to be aware of new dream?

Lmao you know how silly it sounds...like you've been choosing your dream all along by yourSELF and now you wanna experience another dream!

It's not just having a thought that okay I'll experience another dream. You have to KNOW just the way you know your name...or uk where your bed or house is!

But how?

It's simple just don't expect it to be the same!🤷🏻‍♀️ Sleep doubting that you'll wake up in the same dream. DOUBT FRR!!

Not to get anything coz then that's operating from ego's lack mindset! Doubt the way you would as if someone's lying to you.

Noticing your own true nature as " " is subtle because it’s nothing new for you, it’s what you’ve been doing all this (seeming) time! Have you ever looked for your phone, thinking that you don’t have it with you and then realized it was in your hand or in your pocket? It’s subtle :). There’s no such thing as ‘getting enlightened’.

There’s nothing to look outside of you as there’s nothing to look for and nothing outside of you.

It’s all YOU there is, no ‘out there’ out there.

You are already “‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ” and that’s what all pointers are pointing at, notice it!

"Ego", The Final Boss

Olivia (she prefers to be called Liv) has been on quite the spiritual journey for a couple of years. She was born and raised Catholic, then as a teen she decided to leave the church because it didn't resonate with her. She went through a law of attraction phase, followed by law of assumption, and finally, she found non dualism from a few Twitter and Tumblr accounts.

The message, from what she gathered, was that she needed to fully drop the ego in order to realize her true self/true nature and to experience whatever she wanted. She even read a few books where realized masters have spoken about their own personal journeys of dropping ego and how life is generally more peaceful for them now that they've done so.

Now, Liv is one with a troubled past. She would give anything to become an entirely different person with no childhood trauma, and just a happy life all around. She meditated every single day, practiced "sitting in silence", and tried her hardest to detach from her "ego."

She stopped enjoying her usual hobbies out of fear of identifying too much with the character. She would go out of her way to correct thoughts that she felt were "too related to being the person." Needless to say, her mental health began to go downhill very fast.

One of her best friends, Marcus, decided to check up on her one day through face-time. "Hey sis! How have you been?! Haven't seen you in a while."

"Hey..." Liv answered. "I'm not doing all that great to be honest."

"Yeah I figured that. That's why I reached out to you," Marcus stated. "I'm worried about you. It seems like you barely leave the house. Everytime myself or anyone else tries to make plans with you, you either cancel last minute or come up with some bogus excuse as to why you can't come out."

Liv had to laugh because everything he said was true. "So I'm guessing you didn't believe the story about my pet rabbit dying."

Marcus cackled. "GIRL. I've known you for years and not once have you ever had a pet rabbit. Stop playing."

"Okay let me tell you what's really going on with me," Liv began, "So a few months ago I found this 'spiritual practice' called Non Dualism, and the premise of it is you need to 'let go of ego' in order to realize your true nature as God, or Awareness, whatever you want to call it. Also you get to experience whatever you want."

"So this is the reason why you've stopped enjoying your usual hobbies, and why you've stopped having a social life?" Marcus inquired. "I'm going to be honest here. As your friend, I feel like I owe it to you to tell you the Truth even if it isn't what you want to hear. I don't think that this 'practice' has helped you one bit. Either you have misinterpreted the message, or these people are spreading misinformation. Never at any point should you sacrifice your mental health for the sake of 'becoming enlightened.'"

"I don't know what else to do," Liv started to cry a little. "I just want to become a different person living a life full of happiness, one without trauma and constant reminders of my horrible past. I hate being this broken person!"

"It's okay hun, I totally understand," Marcus consoled her. "I can help you. You remember my family guru right? She hates being called that, but I don't know how else to refer to her. Her name is Sage. My family has gone to her for spiritual advice and healing for years."

"Yes, I remember her! Didn't she help your mom heal her lower back pain?" Liv asked excitedly.

"She sure did. I can give you her number if you want!"

After Liv ended her face-time call with Marcus, he gave her Sage's number. She immediately reached out to her to schedule a day where they can meet up.

- -

One day, Liv arrived at a beautiful park to discover Sage already sitting on one of the benches waiting. "Hi! I don't know if you remember me, I'm Marcus' friend Liv."

"Yes! Hi Liv, it's nice to see you again," Sage reached out and gave Liv a warm hug. "Now what can I help you with?"

Liv sat down next to Sage. "Well, I discovered Non dualism a few months ago, and I'm not sure if I misunderstood the message or not, but I thought you had to let go of ego in order to realize your true nature as awareness. And after you realize this, you can experience whatever you want. So long story short, I stopped enjoying life because I thought I had to do that in order to be enlightened."

Sage hesitated for a moment, and then smiled. "Think about it this way.. if it's true that our true nature is awareness, or God, whatever label you put on it, why would you have to go through these unnecessary steps in order to 'become' it? If that's what you already are in the first place?"

Liv opened her mouth to reply, then closed it again. Maybe Sage had a point.

"Here are my thoughts. If anyone is telling you to 'drop the ego', it's bullshit," Sage chuckled. "The point of Non Dualism is realizing that you were always awareness. You were always the awareness behind everything that seems to appear. The ever-stretching, limitless silence that can take on the form of anything. The ego is just a thought. The idea that you are not already fully realized is also just a thought. In reality, there's no ego or person here to let go of. No person here who needs to become 'fully realized.' Just drop the idea that you are a limited human that has to become something, and you'll be golden."

Liv's jaw dropped to the ground. "You're telling me it was THAT SIMPLE THIS ENTIRE TIME?"

Sage laughed heartily. "Yes it is. Why do you think it took masters like Lester or Sri Nisgardatta months or YEARS to 'realize Self?' because they spent so much time trying to get rid of an ego that doesn't exist!"

Liv let out a sigh of relief. "So there really is nothing to do. I can't believe I exerted all that effort for nothing. I do have one more question, how can I experience whatever I want knowing I'm awareness? I want to be a completely different person with a different past."

"The person you think you are now, and the one you want to be are both illusions. You, as awareness, can 'choose' either one like a costume. Everytime you think about this ideal version of you, you've already experienced it," Sage grinned.

Suddenly a wave of emotions flooded through Liv, a mixture of relief and happiness. She felt the urge to give Sage a tight hug. "Thank you so much for helping me today."

"You're so welcome, sweetie."

Good for Liv, she has finally accepted her omnipotence and freedom to experience anything!

hi, sophie.🩷 i'd like to share my success story. i know you are no longer active on tumblr so i apologize in advance for sending this ask. i've been waiting for the longest for you to turn on your anon asks again, i was hesitant to share this on my own account, since people on loa tumblr can get very desperate or attempt to harm you out of envy (i've seen it happen with too many people sharing successes), so i just waited for you to turn your asks on again and say it freely.

my journey with ND has been... long to say the least. it was only long because i refused to act on the truth as soon as i discovered it, when 4dbarbie was still active. i put it off because i was afraid of what would happen, i was afraid of truly disbelieving the idea that i was a person. that was really stupid. and the only reason i wasn't experiencing my ideal version of life.

MY NOW. many months later, but... at least it's finally over.

i don't hold anything in the mind, no memories, no thoughts about the future, my life is completely spontaneous and always in a state of harmony. i materialize things instantly. each time i have a thought about something i'd like, i experience. there have never been any exceptions.

this is not the void, this is your natural state. you don't need to be in any void for this to be your regular, everyday life. the only thing that stops you from experiencing this complete power and freedom is your mind, which is unreal. until you're ready to discard it you're not going to demonstrate much.

what holds you back, i know because it was the same thing holding me back, is the fact that you don't take the word 'false' seriously. the ego is false, all thoughts are false. nothing is real. nothing at all. this is all a lucid dream. it's all what you're saying it is.

thank you, and thank you 4dbarbie for opening my eyes. i admit, there comes a sense of superiority in regards to others from knowing the truth, and if others on the ND path have felt the same before, don't be ashamed of this feeling, it's just how it is. no reason to be ashamed, you worked hard to get here. with it also comes a weird compassion. i just pity them, the way i pity my past self but having no courage. no sense in dwelling on a non-existent past now. it's done. nothing has ever existed. nothing will in the future. all is now, if i want it to be, and all is my will. i think of you both as more my family than my actual family, which i was able to give a comfortable life to because of you. thank you, thank you. i will never forget you.

the concept of living life so effortlessly has never occurred to me in my life, and yet i'm living it. all from being lucky enough to be on tumblr... of all sites, at the right time.

after I dropped ego, the first thing i decided to express was a different body, it was pure intention. my mind was clear, doubtless, it was and always is now with god. i was lying in my bed, it was a slight thought of what i wanted my appearance to be, i got up and checked it out in my bathroom mirror, and there it was. there was no wow feeling, no ecstasy. i didn't cry, i wasn't happy. i was completely neutral. like a simple 'cool, nice'. i did it multiple times since then, i want to experience as many bodies as i can while on earth, i like comparing the different lives of different egos. but after the first body, i just set everything about that ego's life straight. i imagined everything being perfect, having enough money to live more than comfortably, my own apartment, funding my siblings' education, etc. the basic things everyone wants, i realized they belonged to me. and no, i don't work. i don't lift a finger to have.

this will sound too good to be true to many, but it's actually the sole reason you were put here on earth. to realize yourself. everything really doesn't exist. nothing is. the quicker you let it all go, the quicker you'll live an effortless life. the journey only persists because you won't stop thinking you are the person, you already are the Self, you have always been nothing but it. everything else is your own imagination, a lie you can choose or discard. wake up. haven't you had enough? there is nothing to fear.

I don’t think this one needs my input. :)

Proud of your courage and intellect 🤍

*sigh*. i truly am THAT 😭🤯😽. no matter what "emotions" and "feelings" and "sensations" the "body" might go through, it is NEVER real. remembering that is such a relief.

About predicting the future

Q: Can you talk about predicting the future? Looking at men's gymnastics at the Olympics, is it possible to predict the outcome of the competition? I wish athletes from my country can win...

Answer: The motivation for wanting to predict the future is: "I" hope to gain advantages that others do not have, such advantages can improve my life or help the group or country that "I" belong to. For example, "I" can win money, for example, I can become successful. Such motivation is based on the illusory assumption that "I am a person living in time."

Predicting the future with such mental motivations will lead you deeper and deeper into hallucinatory assumptions. Does having the ability to predict the future give "you" greater power? Does it make you a "god"? Is this why you came to read my article?

I can tell you that only those who do not worry about the future and do not desire to gain a greater advantage than others, miracles will happen spontaneously and automatically. For those who long for advantages and divine power in life to improve their lives, it backfires. The point of reading my article is not to gain some kind of commanding heights or gain some kind of personal, family, group or country advantage in the seemingly dreamlike "life", but to know that your experience is completely insubstantial in spite of being seemingly real.

It's very similar to the dream story dreamed last night. All the "advantages", "success", "failure", "suffering" that seemed to be gained in the dream story are all completely energetic impressions. None of these "advantages, success, failure and suffering" are actual. That dream character "I" in the dream seemed to be from a certain country, and the dream character "I" in the dream worked hard for this country, suddenly, the entire dream story was lost, and there was no trace of it.

Do "effort" and "struggle" mean anything? Absolutely not! Has there ever been a dream "I"? Never! Has there ever been a dream "country"? Never! The only meaningfulness may be to give you a funny false alarm, as if you are riding a roller coaster in an amusement park, the seemingly dangerous situation you are experiencing is actually unconditionally safe. When you read my article, you discover that the infinite SELF is unconditionally secure.

There is no need to gain any competitive advantage, nor to improve the storyline. As your sensitivity becomes higher and higher, you will realize more and more that you are not just "a person", you will profoundly realize that you are Infinite Intelligent Energy itself, not limited to the apparent situation of "I am this person", not constrained by time and space or this life.

You will lose interest to gain personal advantage, and you will no longer regard miracles as an advantage belonging to a personal me. Then, unspoken miracles will happen spontaneously and automatically. It's like, you are drinking tea for pure enjoyment instead of being motivated by "healthy advantage".

When they say "Live in your imagination" Does that mean you're just supposed to know that you have it in your 4D or is LITE supposed to feel like you have it in the 3D? Cause I want to manifest my height and it's a little hard to "act as if" I'm taller in the 3D when literally everyone is towering over me🫠

know u are your desired height in imagination. you don’t have to believe you’re taller in the 3d or act like you are. just know that your inner man is the height u wish to be and stay faithful to that. don’t let anything u see in ur 3d tell you you’re not ur desired height in your 4d
