The Non-Duality Test

Your perception of reality is created by your senses. Taste, smell, sound, sight, touch and thought are all a part of your senses. All that information arrives in the brain that interpret what it means but also forms an opinion about it.
That part is the one that identifies itself as someone that exists. Lets for the sake of it call it "Ego".
The Ego forms opinions about everything!
However, a part of you does not.
The purpose with this video is to give an insight to that part that does not form any opinion about anything. Where the opinion does not matter.
The feeling you have when you connect with NOT having an opinion, with NOT identifying is similar to how non duality is experienced.
Now, before a war breaks out in the comment section, please bear in mind that: none of this is real, there is no "you" or "me", One can not teach or train non-duality, there is no test or exercise to practice non-duality with and it is all an illusion....
When that is settled: enjoy.

I saw you for the first time yesterday. This character is experiencing a falling away. Emotions are not attached and the character doesn’t feel moved by drama. The way that you speak and the so called technicality or science of “what is” gives or not actually gives but Keeps me listening . It is giving. I feel ok. The questions that arise for the character are answered or felt as a reason to be ok.

[@TheAwakeningCurriculum]

It makes me happy to hear, thank you. I know what you mean! There is no you, there is no me however.. the someone believing itself to exist is perceiving an illusion and within that, a seeking is immersing either as the Ego or as the Authentic and for that character, logic and understanding brings clarity. There is no right-doing or wrong-doing and in that field "I" meet "you" and in that field "I" can talk about biology, neurochemistry and explain how it influences the perceived reality and that is a relief when understood,... I hear you

9:25 the experience of the self “falling away”

[@sugarfree1894]

Rather than going to all the trouble of this convoluted attempt to deny responsibility for oneself and one's actions, why not face the self, with all its fears, desires, resentments, judgements, hopes, strengths, weaknesses, etc, and get to grips with it? You can't dodge pain by pretending there's no one to feel it. It doesn't work. Many young people can be convinced to believe it, but you really should know better by now. Or maybe you just don't care. As someone of a similar age to you, I'm glad I'm not counting on you to be by my side when life gets tough - would you just duck out and say that none of it is real? Or would you roll your sleeves up and get busy with the love - even when it costs you your happiness? Of course, you can answer that there's no one there, blah blah. What a perfect get out of jail free card that is.

[@TheAwakeningCurriculum]

Oh goodness Sugarfree I think you are reacting to someone else and their message, than me and my message because I am saying EXACTLY what you are bringing up in your comment! I am super concerned about all the videos out there gaslighting people about their pain and suffering just because "it isnt real"! I actually think I am the only one that acknowledge that; yes the perception is only a part of an illusion BUT what is going on within the illusion shapes our physiology and psychology and needs to be met, not discarded. I have made multiple videos talking about the neurochemical and biochemical affect and how it shapes us into a dualistic perception with the Ego on one side that wants more, dismiss, display contempt and segregate, and the Authentic observer on the other side that creates space, experience abundant acceptance and compassion towards what is... I did a live one last week that you might like kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoDPcnyYh7F7aLM - and then I also want to thank you for your roar! The more of us that creates space for the pain people experience (no matter how self created it is) the more peace and space will the people experience. Much love to you and yours

[@TheAwakeningCurriculum]

And in this one I get to the point quite quickly kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6HdiGSbjrtgiNk I will keep making videos connecting the biology to non-duality because I too find it super important to talk about

[@hermansohier7643]

[@ravenwild5184]

Gratefully stumbled on this. I've had clear seeing there is no person here. Clearly able to mostly accept whatever arises and staying detached. Yet, this body here had a chronic pain spinal injury over the past twenty + years. The ongoing intensity of seemingly localized pain seems so real that it's happening to a me, a person. This pain is so overwhelming that I lose touch with my pure awareness, consciousness. Any pointers or exercises when in midst of "physical pain overwhelm"? Blessings

[@ravenwild5184]

Ps. Having been a lifelong "seeker" that has spent years in Buddhism I have been working with the Fetters for awhile now. In working with 4&5 this is where it got clear I'm seemingly unable to not have aversion to this seeming physical pain. It seems almost impossible to find anyone in non duality who talks about ongoing physical sensations. Thank you.

[@TheAwakeningCurriculum]

Oh goodness, Raven, I am sorry for your pain and yet grateful that your experience of pain and suffering is leading you towards insights and not deflection and diversion. Well done you for when you have the surplus to do that. I sustained a TBI 11 years ago and the following 9 years after the accident I was in so much pain. I developed Addisons disease that kept me in and out of hospitals due to Addisonian crisis where the recovery is immensely painful. I know how it is to be overwhelmed by pain but I do also know how it is to manage pain by creating space to what is. You have inspired me in making a video about it at some point, thank you for that. Until I do that then I can recommend this audio by Todd Lent kzbin.info/www/bejne/goCqfaF7e8hqq5o He is a gem when it comes to direct pointing and one-pointedness awareness. I would love to hear how you are getting on

Non-Duality Test...😁🤦‍♀️

[@TheAwakeningCurriculum]

Hahahaha I know, right?

[@meaningfulmindfulness15]

Alrighty... So... What if I bit into a strawberry, expecting a luscious and delicious ripe berry, and it ends up being a false strawberry from the fridge made of wax left by a prankster, does that mean that the wax isn't real? Does it mean the flavour of strawberries is an illusion? What about the way the seeds are on the outside of the berry compared to other fruit? If there weren't humans, would ego even exist? Would those strawberries have even existed? People who are in a coma sometimes are considered not thinking.. So they stopped? What if they wake up and embrace a completely new identity due to memory loss? I've been wrapping my mind as best as I can with non-duality but the fact that there is duality is the chaotic orchestra overall, I suppose. The juxapositions are fascinating. One thing that seems to be a pattern is that much of this leaves out how eternal we are. It discounts the beauty and echoes of not only human existence, but existence as a whole. There's a lot to cover throughout it all, but this subject is an interesting one to observe and learn about. I hope you are doing well! Sorry for the brain spill.

[@TheAwakeningCurriculum]

I love it! 1. In the illusion of where you and I, right now, are sitting and writing our biological beings exist. You believe you to be you and I to be me. That is an illusion. It happens but there are not any ONE it is happening to. So you bite into a false strawberry in the illusion of your having a life. Kinda like a movie. "Did you see the movie where Meaningful Mindfulness bite into that fake strawberry?" And that is that. 2. Yeah, there are some amazing production curiosities like seeds on the outside and some even more amazing replicas like how the capillaries of the lungs and how branches of trees look alike. How the brain and a cauliflower look alike and the list goes on.. No idea why. 3. Ego/perceiver only exist in opposition to the Authentic/observer and the Ego is the one perceiving and "making sense" of what the brain perceives so yes I do believe animals have Egos too and yes strawberries would be here too. They are not dependant on us being here. 4. There are some super interesting studies where coma patients were put into MRI scans and asked to imagine they were playing tennis and the same areas of the brain lit up as it does if you ask a conscious person to do the same. 5. I had a TBI 10 years ago and changed personality completely due to memory loss but that is a different story. 6. "We" are not eternal. The Ego really wants us to be, but the physical being and all "you" are now will cease to exist when you do. However, there is a part in you that is energy that will never cease. The amount of atoms in the Universe is constant which means if you die or not does not change anything. The "one" you identify with is nothing compared to what "you" really are and nothing compared to how all of it and us really are connected and that is b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l!!! Thank you for your brain spill..

Interesting that there is a non dual language, it's cool to say "this character" when usually we say me. Now everyone is walking on tip toes not to give the idea that they are not awakened.

[@TheAwakeningCurriculum]

hahahah I KNOW!!! and I find all the linguistic policing so funny since its dual (right words vs. wrong words). If you and I know there is no you and I and we establish that at the beginning of our conversation, then we can use our common insight to support and converse. with one another KNOWING it is all happening within the illusion. But if the non-duality linguistic police force rocks up our conversation becomes ridiculous and interrupted and actually immensely dualistic and unnecessarily obstructed... Instead, lets just acknowledge that the someone believing ourselves to exist in a biological vessel creates a perceived dualistic psychology of an Ego and an Authentic observer and then let the conversations flow for the benefit of all...

[@AdrianaHernandez108]

The non duality actually says or transfers the message that TTERE IS NO ME. So there is nothing to do about it, as soon as one talks about something to do … there are two, and that is duality. So there is never a part of YOU ( me) … is is two….

[@TheAwakeningCurriculum]

Exactly my point! The sensory perception of someone believing itself to exist is so persistent in its illusion that we tend to believe that non duality is difficult to experience and yet we actually have a lot of "falling away" million of times during the day.. that is what this test is proving. There is no me or you, there is no time, no perception, no illusion, there just is... the persistent illusion though, makes us believe the perceived reality is true.. hence Facebook, opinions, materialism, religions and so on.. this test is supporting the falling away within the illusion

[@stevethompson1958]

There is no brain, can you see it, feel it, know it, no. There's only the nothingness of life playing out stories/ beliefs & ideas, apparently. This is also a story. 😊

[@TheAwakeningCurriculum]

Completely true! 100% no doubt about it! When the dissolving of subject object happens there is only unison of being. For most people, however, we need to take a step by step experience of the illusion, for the Ego (in its duality) to experience observing instead of participating and then automatically makes a shift to an awareness of the Authentic and from there duality is quite obvious. From there it is easier for the Someone who believes itself to exist to find out that what what was previously thought to be someone or something else actually IS itself in a unison of being. So I am using the chemistry of the illusion for people to experience, they are not

There are Sheep , wolves and Shepard's This is meaningless nonsense for the Sheep

[@TheAwakeningCurriculum]

Hello Kevin, thank you so much for your comment. I am grateful that you took time to reach out by writing a comment and I take that as an invitation for me to comment on what I pick up on. When you say the world only consist of 3 kinds of people, the ones that can not support and help you in any way because they are too weak (sheep), the ones that are out to hurt you and constantly makes your life unsafe (wolves) and the ones that are self-serving and only focusing on their own stuff (shepherds) it gives such a clear picture of how it is to be in the world for you. And I am sorry about that. How would life be if you completely saw through that underlying belief and really realised that, that was all conditioning and not true at all? That, that conditioning is just a survival mechanism created by child that did not have the emotional, psychological and intellectual maturity that we have as adults? How would your every day life change if you did not need for people to change for you to be safe in the world? What if everyone are allowed to be as they are and that has nothing to do you in any way? What if you really saw that none of what you perceive as real, is reality at all? If you want to I would love to hear your reflections on those pointers. I wish you and yours all the best.

@@TheAwakeningCurriculum There is a certain part of your brain apparatus that is a exponential curve , which means some people exist within the full range of the curve, 0-100 if you like, and they live in a oxytocin haze , they self release oxytocin whenever they touch another living thing, especially thier Mum or close biology They are the Sheep then there are those that are permanently "driven around the bend" of the exponential curve, so there emotional range is 60-100 or even 80-100 these people are the Wolves, due to being driven around the bend physically by this piece of apparatus in their skull , they are set to detach mode and never experience an oxytocin release away from sex Now it is possible (science has no clue what's going on) to have a wolf experience an oxytocin release away from sex, You can help a wolf to FEEL love and attachment Once a wolf experience's how the sheep exist , in thier oxytocin haze they become Shepard's, The Shepard's role is to eteranlly carry forward the message that the Wolf can be saved and helped to feel attachment and love and also to protect the sheep and help them stop creating wolves in thier children So how does a sheep create a wolf ? "rock a bye baby , on the tree top, when the wind blows the cradle will rock , when the BOUGH breaks the cradle will fall and down to earth tumbling come baby and all" Please understand you words and language are of no importance at all in REAL biological life, . biological functioning pays absolutely no attention to your LEFT PFC Your imaginary imagined imagination plays no part in the biological communication between mum and baby , which lasts for 7 years, That's right there are two umbilical cords One physical that gets cut at 9 months and the other is electro magnetic and the baby uses this to exactly copy mums emotional state (not her imaginary state imagined in the left PFC) And the electro magnetic signal umbilical cord is cut at 7 years , This means it takes 7yrs and 9 months to give Full complete physical and emotional birth But both can be cut prematurely You don't have clue what's going on ,. do you? The wolves , those that are unable to FEEL love are devouring the Sheep for fun
