RE: The Secret of Life: Who You Are Doesn't End Where The Edge of Your Skin Ends
I enjoyed your essay. :)
I consider non-duality as an incomplete concept - of the Infinite undivided and unable to know itself. I consider it as extreme positive, opposed to extreme negative - identification with a separated ego-mind. Ego-mind doesn't exist apart from the Creation, but I exist because I've read what you just wrote there. It is actually the only thing that you can be sure of - that you exist.
Non-duality also seems a little plagued by exclusive/pure-human perspective, because the Universe is very much inclusive and integrative, so I would be more willing to state that You exist and You don't exist - simultaneously on many different levels.
Other than that, ego-disidentification is something that humanity, as a collective, is more aware of from moment to moment, so keep up a good work shining your light on the subject. :)
One I can state for sure - our Truth lies beyond even the concept of existing and non-existing. It is ineffable.
Very good job with the post. Upvoted and followed.
Much love, my Friend. :)
I think I know what you're trying to get at when you say that you exist and you don't exist simultaneously on different levels. It boils down to the idea that words are limited. At the end of the day words are symbols of reality and not reality itself, we can only analyze so much and eventually all you're left with is the experience you're having right now. The same way money is a symbol of wealth and not actual wealth, so is the relationship between words and reality. We can analyze forever, but it all comes down to what is left in our field of consciousness. Thank you, I appreciate it. <3
