could you maybe explain the whole "dropping the desire" thing a bit more closely? cus idk but whenever i hear people saying to drop the desire, it makes me feel like i have to give up everything i "want" and accept this shitty life i have. like i just don't understand. what do i even do when i have nothing to "manifest"? when i have desires, i can tell myself that everything's okay because im gonna be outta here soon (and living my best life having all my desires) but with nd, i don't quite get what the "end goal" is. hope this doesn't sound stupid, it's just that i've been in the manifestation community since 2016 now, having desires every single day and looking forward to finally manifesting them (which never happened btw), so suddenly just dropping them feels so strange to me. it's already so late where i live and i'm tired so this probably doesn't make a lot of sense, but i still hope you can tell what i'm trying to askπ΅βπ«
Hello there π«ΆβοΈπͺ· donβt ever feel bad for
Alrighty I can feel that this is gonna be a longer answer so I hope youβre ready.
Firstly, believe me or not but I know exactly what youβre going through, Iβm sure allot of people do.
So firstly letβs this out of the way, why do I keep saying there is no manifestation? To understand that, we also have to understand ND. Letβs break it down first from what ND is and what it states, then youβll automatically get the answer to why manifesting is not real and the reality of the situation is 100x better in my opinion.
Nonduality is the understanding that there is, well, no duality, no separation in any of βthisβ. Everything is included in this, thoughts, ideas, the world, people, feelings, events, food, cars, money, desire, you, sense of self, all of it. All of existence is just one, all the same. And this is what you are, dissolving labels and everything, we can realize there is no point where you end and the entire universe begins. Without labels, nothing is named, nothing is decided as yes or no or good or bad, it all just is, a nameless is-ness. You are this infinite presence, nameless, timeless, formless, appearing as everything. No-thing appearing as something. A hollow appearance at that but regardless, an appearance.
And if you are everything, if itβs all just one, and this is what we are, then everything is just what we appear as. So the realization of β$100β is the experience of it. There is nothing to do, there is nothing to achieve because itβs all you and the realization or awareness of this idea is the experience. It doesnβt matter how you feel so you can cry, get mad and do whatever you want because it doesnβt change the nature of what you are, this β β nameless thing you are remains untouched. Thereβs no worrying about the what ifs or time delays because again, this is what you appear as by realizing it.
You say your βmanifestationβ never happened, and I think itβs time to be clear with yourself (as I have done this many times before). Are you affirming and visualizing to change or get something, or as a means to remind yourself of what is yours. And affirmation does not get you anything, itβs what it means to you in terms of identity that matters.
I could look at a rock and rub it 3 times, and because to me it means Iβm going to get a free coffee, itβs instantly true.
You can make anything mean you have what you want, you donβt just make the rules your are the rules. This whole idea of dropping is also just a way for people to not worry about their desire. Personally I do what I want. Iβm everything, If I feel like thinking about it cus it makes me happy I will, but if Iβm thinking about it in a βI need to affirm to get thisβ kind of way, ima just stop, remember that this is not a technique but a reminder of what naturally we exist as.
You never have to give up on what you like because this life is meant to be cherished and enjoyed.
Thereβs no reason to live a life that makes you unhappy, your literally god, god is all, you are everything. You. Got. This. Donβt make it a process, donβt make it a journey, and most definitely donβt thing ND is a technique to manifest. There is no manifesting, only being, so this isnβt something you turn off and on. I hope this helped, I myself have been pretty sleepy so I hope this made sense ππ€π«ΆβοΈπͺ·ππ

a post by @blushydior + @angelsinluv
this is a joint/collab post between @blushydior and @angelsinluv. this was originally bambiβs post so sheβd written most of it but doesnβt want to post it on her blog for personal reasons. so we thought itβd be a good idea for me to post it on mine and put our knowledge together since itβs been the talk lately.
there are many different ways of understanding the law and manifesting your desires whether it be behind a scientific point of view or the principle, states.
there are many different ways of understanding the law and manifesting your desires whether it be behind a scientific point of view or the principle, states.
if youβd like to know how blushydior manifested her dream life with hard circumstances, read this post here.
now, let get into it.
β β ππππππ
the sooner you understand and get the gist of states, the more seamless your manifesting journey will be. this realization is what brought bambi to manifest her dream life.
states manifest and thoughts donβt and iβll explain why in this guide but in no way shape or form that i am pushing my beliefs onto you.
even if you donβt agree with that statement or are unable to fully click and resonate with states just yet know that states and thoughts work together to bring awareness to what mindset/story youβre entertaining.
for example, if you wanted to know what state youβre in, you would look at your thoughts. why? because when you change your state, your thoughts naturally change as well so therefore, thoughts and feeling are indicators of what youβre state in.
if your day to day thoughts are:
where are my desires?
why hasnβt the 3D conformed yet?
i didnβt get to saturate my mind today, now i wonβt get it
you are coming from a state of lack. a state of not having your desire unaware that your imagination trumps the 3D. always.
iβm not saying itβs a crime to affirm all day. many people enjoy it so itβs not out of lack. itβs up to how youβre doing it.
with manifestation, youβre either in the state of:
being the person who has it
being the person who is trying to get it
in the law of assumption, what creates reality? your mind (consciousness)
so, if youβre affirming, visualizing, doing all these things IN YOUR MIND, to change your reality (3D) thenβ¦
BY DEFAULT:
imagination creates reality
the 3D is a reflection of your state of BEING
always look inwards for confirmation because thatβs the true reality!
ββ ππππππ ππππ πππππππ πππππ
aka choose what you want to manifest! this would mainly be the state of the wish fulfilled.
state = your mindset / your state of being / state of consciousness. your I AM.
itβs what you identify as. your awareness of being.
choose what you want and embody the version of you / person who already has their desire.
for example, if you wanted $10 million, you choose to be in the state of fulfillment - the person who has $10 million.
that is now your state - the person who has their desire. the state of the wish fulfilled.
β WHAT IS THE STATE OF THE WISH-FULFILLED?
the state of the wish fulfilled is the state in which your desire has already been fulfilled - that it is already done because consciousness is the only reality. there is nothing left for you to do because creation is finished!
you do not create anything, you only occupy and live in your desired state to bring it to life. this is why there is power in your awareness (of being). be aware of who you are being in relation to your desire.
β MORE ON STATES
infinite states exist within consciousness - this means that anything is possible and not all of them are true/will manifest. only the state that you constantly dwell and identify with, manifests.
this is also why infinite realities exist. your state is your reality.
β The world is a mirror, forever reflecting what you are doing, within yourself. β
β β ππππππ πππ ππππ ππππ π πππ
now that you set the intention of embodying the person who has their desires, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that align with your state will naturally flow to you.
as you can tell, thoughts and feelings are a product of a state but repeating affirmations, visualizing, doing whatever you want can also help you sustain and being into the state. thatβs what techniques are for!
so what would you be thinking and how would you feel if you had your desire?
thinking = imaginal acts that include visualizing, affirming, inner convos, feeling, etc.
thinking is not just affirming because there are people who think in visuals and others who think in forms of words (affirmations). do what feels natural to you. β blushydior
affirm: βi have $10 million dollars in the bank!β
visualize: any scene that implies you have $10 million dollars in the bank
feeling: nonchalant / at peace / etc. knowing you have $10 million in your possession.
that is now your awareness / state of being
feeling β emotion!
feeling = accepting your desire as a fact that it is yours because consciousness is the only reality.
β πππππ πππ π ππππππ
remember that the feeling is natural and it wonβt be the same every single time. for example, if youβre now just starting to understand and enter the state of the wish fulfilled, it might be exciting, relieving - euphoric even but as you exercise returning back (persistence) to dwell in the state, itβll start to feel natural. it might start feeling nonchalant, peace, calmness! so if you reach that point and start to worry, βi feel nothing but I know it done. am i doing something wrong?β no youβre not. itβs okay!
you donβt have to act as if. only be as if.
β Are you thinking from the state you desire? or is your dream just a passing fancy, a daydream you enjoyed for the moment, and then dropped? β
if you say you want money, are you gonna keep WANTING it? NO. to manifest, you ARE the person who has the money.
thatβs it. thatβs your state! you changed who you are.
YOU ARE THAT PERSON WHO HAS THE MONEY. simple. (thatβs because the law is)
β πππ ππ ππππ ππ πππ
close your eyes, claim you have what you want. by affirming, visualizing, whatever feels good to you.
see it, feel it, know that your mind creates your world. what you see is THE REAL FACT.
isnβt it liberating? BECAUSE IT IS.
you are free to do and have whatever you want! this is why the 3D, circumstances and feelings DO NOT MATTER. why? because YOU, the operant power JUST SAID you have it in your mind so why are you going to let emotions and the 3D effect you?
now, accept these thoughts and your state as facts because thatβs what they are. consciousness is the only reality so if you say and know that who you are in imagination is true, the law has no choice but to reflect your awareness of being.
not all thoughts are assumptions and you are not all of your states!
the state and thoughts you identify with manifests.
you are always passing through a number of states throughout your days. a state of sadness, a state of anger, a state of nonchalance, a state of fulfillment.
dwell and identify with the state of your choosing = the person has all their desires!
itβs the same thing with thoughts.
βthoughts are just thoughts. thoughts accepted as true are assumptions. and thoughts/assumptions are products of your state of consciousness. feelings do not mean emotion. feelings = the acceptance that your desire is a fact in imagination.β β blushydior
like i said, thoughts are just thoughts. unless you assign meaning to doubts and affirmations, they hold no power. you do. so which one are facts and which ones are powerless?
your imaginal acts, awareness of being (visualizing / affirming / inner convos / feeling / auditory / etc) = fact
doubts, intrusive, negative thoughts = powerless. donβt even care enough to label them. theyβre silly little thoughts.
β β πππππππ ππππ πππππ - πππππππ
all you have to do now is persist in that assumption and sustain your state until it hardens into a fact.
A COMMON MISCONCEPTION is that you have to CONSCIOUSLY be in the state all day everyday. NO. all you have to do is return to it/persist whenever you WANT to and WHENEVER you think about it
β You don't have to remain in a state if you have made a mistake. You can change states morning, noon, and night, but the state to which you most constantly return constitutes your dwelling place. β
SEE! itβs really no different. itβs the same as meditating on affs or rampaging, visualizing, thinking from your desire etc but itβs the fact that you are doing these things to make it natural & bc you enjoy it, not because you βdonβt see it in the 3Dβ and you freak out then over-consume, affirm more, etc.
whenever you think about your desire, remind yourself that you already have it.Β
if you caught yourself dwelling in a place of lack, for example,Β asking βwhere is it?β / βitβs not here yet.β β correct yourself. return to the wish fulfilled and feel it to be a fact in imagination.
and you keep doing that WHENEVER YOU WANT TO until it feels natural. like neville said, itβs like putting on a new suit. at first it wonβt feel natural but over some time, you wonβt even be βconsciousβ of it because you already / naturally feel fulfilled! read my quotes thread that relates to this.
this is where methods come in as well. it gets you to dwell in your state whenever and however you want.
methods donβt hold any power. you do.
itβs not a chore. itβs a choice.
easy peasy.
β You can tell if you abide in your house of desire by watching your thoughts, for the state in which you most constantly return constitutes your dwelling place. β
β β πππππππππππππππ
you have fulfilled the inner man, accepted it as a fact and got your manifestation.
ββ πππππππ ππππ πππ πππ ππππππππ
doubts, the 3D (interacting vs. reacting) and emotions
doubts, intrusives, opposing thoughts
you let them pass because you are already the person who has it all. if you identify as the person who has their desires (βi have xyzβ) why would you let little doubts deter you? they can come in your mind ALL DAY but if you donβt identify with them, they donβt hold power.
if YOU know youβre already the person who has their desire, nothing and no one can stop them from conforming.
for example, if you were famous and all of a sudden you were told βno, youβre not!β
would you go:
βiβm not? oh my godβ¦ youβre right. iβm not famous!β
or
βuhβ¦? wrong. because the evidence* is right there? i just said iβm famous so thatβs what i amβ¦. famous. lol.β
*evidence = you. your state/4D/mind.
β βπππ ππ - πππππππππππ β ππππππππΒ
β β REACTING isΒ looking at the 3D and complaining. settling for what you see as a fact.
EXAMPLE: seeing the opposite of your manifestation
DONβT: βmy life sucks. i hate it here. see? this is why i can never manifest what i want.β and settling for these thoughts as facts.
DO: βit doesnβt matter what i see. what and who i claim to me in my mind/imagination is the real fact that has no choice to be externalized!β
β β INTERACTING is doing what you need to do in the 3D/physical world but knowing that what you claim in your mind is the REAL fact.
EXAMPLE 1: youβre manifesting a romantic partner.
physically: when someone asks you βhey, are you in a relationship?β you say no.
but in your mind you go: sike. i have the perfect girl/boyfriend π€π€
EXAMPLE 2: youβre manifesting money
physically: you decline to hangout with your friends because you have no money at the moment.
but in your mind you go: βi literally have so much money lol ?? iβm the richest person in the world with all the money i have in the bank.β
EXAMPLE 3: attending therapy or venting to loved ones
physically: βlifeβs been really difficult lately and it makes me feel stuck. i had a few breakdowns and anxiety problems, etc.β
mentally: (after venting) βthat made me feel a little better. i let my feelings out instead of bottling them in. i know i have/will get my desires! everythingβs okay. iβm safe.β
it doesnβt matter what you do or say in the 3D!
consciousness is the only reality so if you continue to dwell in the state most favorable to you, that is all that matters!
β βπππ πππππππππ πππ π πππππππ ππππ ππ πππππ ππ ππππππππππ
in this context: the repetition of affirmations. not repeatedly going back to the state of the wish fulfilled.
iβve gotten a number of asks in the past asking me why they didnβt get what they want if they repeated the thought so many times. my only conclusion from this side of the screen is that you are in the state ofΒ trying to get it.
when manifesting, you donβt try. you either have it or you donβt.Β
so are you person a?
βokay i have to affirm on loop for 20 minutes, 2 times a day or else, i wonβt get it my manifestation!β
blushyβs observation: you arenβt being the person who has their desires if you still feel like you need to get them. so you do all these things like over-consume information, force yourself to affirm the same affirmations on loop 1000x, looking for more answers, etc.
you simply arenβt in the state of being. youβre in the state of lack / trying to get it.
how can you try to get something you already have?
so switch states! how? scroll back up.
or person b?
βi feel like saturating my mind. why not? itβs fun.β β
βi already have all of my desires because i said so. thereβs no need for me to worry or stress because itβs already mine! itβs doneβ¦β and so on.
β βππ πππ ππ ππππππ πππππ πππ πππ ππππππππ πππβπ?
a related question: do dominant thoughts manifest?
you can affirm all day and be able to affirm on autopilot in the middle of your sleep or doing chores but if you:
donβt accept them as facts (assumptions)
identify with them
are in the state of trying to get them by going: βi need to affirm more or else i wonβt receive my desire.β
you wonβt see results.
thatβs why it can only take one decision for a manifestation to come to fruition. you fully accepted it as a fact that the version in imagination is the true person who has it whether it be a desire or doubt.
itβs all about the knowing itβs already yours IN IMAGINATION - that your success is inevitable and it has no choice but to conform and harden into fact.
itβs called the law of assumption for a reason! (as neville even once said, law of being) you accept / assume you are the person who has it as true without any physical evidence because you know that imagination creates reality.
β This is the law of assumption so, if you assume that repeating affirmations all day will get you some kind of movement / your manifestation, thatβs what youβll get. Itβs the same thing with techniques and methods, you give your thoughts and these ways of manifesting power. Thoughts are products of your state of consciousness but it doesnβt mean theyβre all true. The idea that dominant thoughts manifest makes it seem tedious. The law is simple. Especially for people who are new to the law, youβre introduced to this idea and you begin to police every thought you have and affirm all day, everyday to make sure that your every dominant thought surrounding each topic in your life is a positive one. Thatβs exhausting and itβs not supposed to be. It contradicts the fact that you donβt have to make a smidge of effort in order to get your desires. [β¦] It gives your thoughts power when you are not your thoughts. You are who you claim to be in imagination because imagination creates reality. So if you visualized or affirmed that you are the person who lives their dream life and accept it as a fact in your mind, nothing can make that change other than you and you are pure consciousness. You can have negative thoughts and feel your emotions because just like the outer world, they have nothing to do with you unless you identify with them. So choose your story. Your silly little thoughts or the fact that you are the person who has their desires. β β blushydior
all you have to do is accept it as a fact that you are the person who has their desire and you will manifest faster than the speed of light.
this is my opinion but i donβt like the idea of affirming so much to wait until a thought is dominant so it can manifest. itβs very limiting.
it is a fact that you ARE the person who has your desire! the reason why affirming on loop and βdominant thoughts manifestβ concept works for others is because they assume it does. remember that techniques donβt manifest, you do.
β An assumption, though false, if persisted in, will harden into fact. β
if you are affirming on loop and arenβt seeing results, this may be your problem and understanding states is the solution youβve been looking for!
β βπππ ππ ππππππ ππ π πππ ππ ππππ?
this goes along with manifesting with hard circumstances and being a neurodivergent!
i state in my guide that i knew i was the person who already had my desires and since i was constantly filled with intrusives, doubts, and other things (i didnβt identify with them, i just wanted them to lessen) i repeated them as reminders to made me feel better to saturate my mind that: βyes! i do have it.β
saturation is NOT necessary. you donβt need to do it but it helps in many cases as a technique to sustain your state and coping mechanism. it makes persistence easier for many.
if you are this person:Β
βokay iβm going affirm all day and then i will get it!β
you will succeed because that is the assumption youβve created. you fully accepted it as a fact that if you repeat it over and over again, you will get your manifestation.
so yay! you got it.

Hello, what do you mean when you say "just be aware of it" when it comes to "manifesting" something? How do I realize that there is no separation?
Well thereβs actually nothing you have to do because this isnβt a forced effort that you have to put time into, this is what I love about separating this from concepts and methods, because it isnβt. This is the natural way all things are and always will be. This is explaining what all of this experience is. What I describe isnβt something to hone or master, and you canβt get any better at it. Itβs finding who you are, itβs all about the identity of conciousness, which is whole and complete, and from this, manifestation constantly occurs.
So for example, you are manifestation, as in, you ARE it, you donβt βbecome aware ofβ something, because awareness, or conciseness is what you are, the manifestation is the moment itβs known, like how you can conjure βeverything works in my favorβ, and we can trace back where this idea came from. It came from you, and the moment it was manifested from you, it became real, otherwise well it wouldnβt exist. Usually we see things that we want as something that we have to manifest and put effort into to get; but we donβt keep the same rules for things we donβt like or want. Take the idea βitβs hard to make moneyβ, if youβve been persisting in this then you have constantly been manifesting this. You donβt say it because you hope or wish to see it happen, but you just state it as a matter of fact, but if it wasnβt for you claiming it, it wouldnβt exist to begin with. Itβs our choice what ideas we formulate (manifestation).
Simple answer: There is no 3D. There only is a world because you are conscious of one being there.
Below is a post from an old reddit user, she deleted her account years ago, and back then - I kept reading this every day and still not getting what the feeling she was talking about was - how can you just feel everything is dependent on you? After all, we've been imagining our entire lives that we're this little ego walking around in this big world, that's so separate from what we know ourselves to be, a body with needs. When we come across this information, it sounds delusional, insane! But the apparent solid world is just an illusory world, the only thing that is is Self. The true delusion is fighting something entirely dependent on us, something that has no existence outside of us.
These are not my words, but imo something we can all attest to doing since we've discovered the law:
" -- Being absolutely shameless and feeling godly and maintaining that attitude -- Is this what being on drugs feels like? I've only ever taken CBD oil, so I don't know lol. But I felt like I wasn't actually living, until, like, Friday. Everything before that kinda felt like carefully controlling which assumptions I felt like interacting with that day. Avoiding things that I associated with being "bad", doing things I associated with being "good". Carefully navigating my own assumptions so I don't accidentally upset myself by encountering something I gave a shitty meaning to. Going back and forth between the two "sides" (note: 3D/4D), feeling temporary relief through meditation. Then, I woke up one morning and... I don't know how to describe it really. I woke up feeling absolute freedom. I never realized I had felt so trapped before. Now I feel so giddy it's ridiculous. And realizing that I can feel like this... all the time... because I choose to... it's absolutely fantastic. You can think and feel whatever you want, I swear, you can only pay like 2 seconds worth of attention to unwanted circumstances, and just continue feeling good about yourself, for yourself, inside yourself. You really, *really* can pay less attention to things you don't like than you think. If you read Neville's work for long enough, or have been in this community for long enough, you likely understand this intellectually. But when you FEEL stuff like this to be true, your perspective shifts in the most wonderful way. Just imagine it, the confidence. Being completely unfazed by circumstances because you know it starts and ends in you. Dreams are not only possible, but inevitable. The only thing that determines your destiny is what you *feel* like experiencing, nothing else. Is it a tad bit more nuanced than that? Sure, yeah. There's the baggage that comes up. But that's not outside of you either. Withdraw your attention from it, and the baggage goes away. First, usually, the fear/hate associated with the circumstance disappears. Then the physical evidence of your disdain goes along with it. What's left when you really understand that... is preference. Best Changes? PEACE. OH MY GOD. It sounds incredibly cheesy and cliche, but I swear, being at peace is the only thing I *actually* want. I mean, I like my manifestations and whatnot, don't get me wrong. But this, I wouldn't sacrifice it for anything. * A nice side effect to only caring about my state is that everything feels reasonably attainable. Nothing feels out of reach, or hard. Because: 1) It doesn't really matter in the first place 2) It's all really just a symbol of your consciousness 3) The only thing that determines whether or not you are able to do something is what you assume. It's one thing to know it in theory and another to really feel yourself to be the arbiter of your own fate... Knowing Wow, I was actually born a badass and carrying that mood around is SO. GOOD.
The external world, you control it (because it is you!, in you), you make it, fully, even when you tell yourself you don't. You like playing hide and seek with yourself? Fine. Keep going at it, but at least make sure you're treating it like what you're saying it is, a game. Don't take it so seriously, who you are is limitless, timeless, beyond your ego mind - why would the being you are be afraid of its own creation? And if you like to play, why not play a different way, you like the horror genre thaaat much? But sims is so much more fun... you can do anything there... you have all the cheatcodes, too - you have everything you need to make this human experience the funnest it can be. When everything obeys you, why do you keep things alive that you don't like being there?
How do I stop worrying once I set the intention that I am experiencing something else? Doubts are constant and I canβt seem to stop them. Iβm just worried I wonβt get it
So what I need you first to realize is that, you arenβt setting an intention, and certainly not setting an intention to experience something βlater onβ. The realization of ANYTHING quite literally is the experience. I need you to recognize that nothing inherently has any meaning. When you strip labels from feelings and emotions they just remain as βsensationsβ. Try saying what a bad or good feeling is without describing it as a good or bad. It just is a sensation right? Right, so please start viewing it as what it really is. I truly understand how debilitating it can feel, however, if you truly wish to see past the hollow, weak illusions, you must start viewing everything as it TRULY is, not as it seems from the surface level.
There is no getting, desiring, wanting, these are labels made by this illusionary self who strives and relishes in goal, in journey, in doing. Without all these things the sense of self really has no purpose, look further into this. Who desires, who wants, who needs? Certainly not god, certainly not the true β β that is.
Iβm not just telling you guys another technique or manifesting method, guys this is in reality what we are. The existence of all that is and appears to be is what we are. Your God, your β β, your everything, how can you possibly crave when you are it.
Falsely identifying as the self and as the person, there will always be journey, there will always be an end goal, that never seems to be reached. When you experience that thing what happens? Another desire, need, journey appears, because as the self, nothing will actually be enough. (Trust me I know). Self exists for the illusionary experience. Itβs literally the only purpose of it. Now Iβm not in any way telling you to sit in misery and not be happy and live a dream life, but I want you to understand, itβs always going to seem like a never ending cycle of desiring if the only appearance you hold as real is self. Instead of the infinity you exist as.
This infinity you are tricks itself into being a limited self, a separate self. Recognize yourself again. You as it all is instant βmanifestationβ
Iβm telling you, your all of existence and appear as the experience, how can you possibly lack anything? There is no you that lacks, YOUR EVERYTHING. $500k? Alright itβs your, congratulations you just received it. Wondering where it is? Donβt you remember itβs you, you have it itβs yours! Relish! Be excited! Be Sad! Do whateveeeerrrr u want!
Just remember that the sensation (feeling) doesnβt dictate anything. Anyways I rambled for a while, take care!! π₯₯π΄βοΈπ«Ά
This is the better quality uncut cut scene from episode six, lol
First off, realize you are never not it. We are actually fully realized all the time. We are fully realized Beings saying that we are not. So all we do is let go of βwe are notβ and what's left over is the fully realized Being that we are.
Second, if you're able to understand it intellectually but not able to use it, it's because you're not looking at yourself honestly, truthfully, with deep desire to see your Self, in the process of which you have set up as the subconscious mind all the things you will not look at.
However, it's not necessary to dig up this unconscious mind, in fact it's much better to try to quiet the mind. When we're able to get the mind totally quiet, what's left over is the infinite Self. Every thought is a thing of limitation. Therefore when we quiet the mind, we still these limiting thoughts and this infinite Being that we are becomes self obvious to us. The Self is then not occluded by the limiting thoughts! We see It, we recognize that we never were that mind, that body, and from that moment on, the mind and body have no influence upon us. We determine for the body as we would a puppet and it has no effect upon us, as a puppet that we would be controlling would have no effect upon us.
If you want a "method", then the very best method of all methods is to quiet the mind to see the Being that you are. Pose the question: βWho am I?β and if other thoughts come in, ask, βTo whom are these thoughts?β The answer is βTo me.β βWell, who am I?β and you're back on the track, seeking to see your Self.
''Who am I?β is the final question that everyone answers, so why not begin with the final question?
There are two ways of growing: one is what I call the negative way, eliminating the negative, going into the mind, seeing the cause of the problem that originated in a thought some time in the past. When we see this thought, when we bring it up into consciousness, we naturally let go of it. We see how silly it is to hold onto it and therefore correct that thought and behavior.
However, the other way is better. It is the positive way. Quiet the mind and see who and what you really are, the infinite Self, pure Awareness. In the over all, there's really only two ways: eliminating the negative and the better, putting in the positive, βI am that I am,β βI am It.β The latter is by far the faster.
Let's now take a look at this so-called apparency, the world. The world is only an illusion that we created mentally. It is not external but in reality within us, within our mind. Someday you'll discover that you created this entire universe that you see. The method of creating is by first creating what we call a mind. We create our mind, which is nothing but a composite of all our thoughts, conscious and subconscious, and the thoughts create the material world. Every little thing that happens to each and everyone of us is created in our thinking. We mentally set up a thing called time which makes it even more difficult to see things because we think now and things happen years later. But the only creator there is, is the mind, your mind.
So now you discover that you created your trouble, then you discover that you can create anything you desire. After you discover that there is nothing that you cannot create, you're still unhappy. The reason is that you have separated yourself from the all that is.
If there are any problems that remain, they only remain because you are holding onto them in thought. The moment you let go of them, they are gone! If you tell me that isn't so for you, that isn't true. The truth is you're still holding onto them, telling me that it doesn't work. Now trying to get rid of a problem is holding onto it. Anything we try to get rid of we are holding in mind and thereby sustaining that problem. So the only way to correct a problem is to let go of it. See not the problem, see only what you want. If you would only from this moment on see what you want that is all that you would get. But you hold in mind the things you do not want. You struggle to eliminate the things you don't want, thereby sustaining them.
Now the very highest state is simply Beingness, and if we could only be, just be, we could see our Infinity. We would see that there are no limitations. We would see that we are the All. We would be in a perfectly satiated, permanent, changeless state. And it is not a nothingness, it is not a boredom, it is an Allness, an Everythingness, a Total Satiation that is eternal. You will never, never lose your individuality. The word βIβ as you use it to mean your individuality will never ever leave you. It expands. What happens as you re-remember what you are is that you'll begin to see that others are you, that you are me, that you are now and always have been gloriously Infinite.
This subject cannot be learned intellectually, it cannot be learned through the mind because it's perceived just behind the mind. We can use the mind to gradually undo the limitations enough so that we can get behind the mind by getting it quieter. If it were possible to get this subject through the mind intellectually, all we would need to do is to read the books on it and we would have it. But it doesn't work that way. We have to very concentratedly dwell upon our Self that is just behind the mind. Turn the mind back upon the mind to discover what the mind is, and then go beyond the mind to the Self. So to get this subject, each one must experience it, realize it, make it real by going to the place just behind the mind and perceiving it there.
If you examine thoroughly the mind, you will discover that it isn't, it's an illusion. Let it go its way, just watch the mind. The ultimate witness is the Self. It's a tremendous thing to watch the mind. Not only does it quiet it, it makes the mind not you. If you trace the source of the mind, you find it is nothingness. This whole world is a dream illusion, which means that it isn't!
Unlimited joy is our natural, inherent state which we have, through ignorance, undone by imposing concepts of limitations. Anytime we have trouble, anytime we have a problem, we're being the limited ego. Weβre trying to express the Self through the limited ego, and it's too small, we get squeezed and it hurts. If you'll just accept that you are not that, that what you are is God, Awareness -- and God is All, God is Perfect, that's all you'll ever meet with!
No matter what you say, no matter what law or concept you want to follow, only upon recognizing that what you are is Awareness are you perfectly satisfied.
