| Note: the following article is written by a moderator at my forum, "Longchen", who is a friend of mine and Thusness, on his and experience of non-duality (no subject-object split) as the nature of reality that is Always So (and hence not as a passing experience). However, there are further insights into the nature of consciousness. At the time of his writing, it is realised that Manifestations/Appearances are all consciousness. Consciousness is experienced directly, but not the “nature” of consciousness. The nature of consciousness is empty. This article also corresponds to Stage 4-5 of Thusness's Six Stages of Experience. Stage 6 is the realisation of Emptiness/Dependent Arising. Longchen has more recently written an article about his insight of Emptiness/Dependent Arising (see The non-solidity of existence). Source: http://www.dreamdatum.com/nondual-experience.html Non duality is really the same experience as no-self state. It is also the same as no subject-object split. 'No subject-object split' means the illusion of an observer and the being observed is being understood and removed. Below is a description of how non-duality feels like. |

At times, sense of being at a location can be greatly diminished... instead what is being felt are all the sensations that made up 'here-ness'... For in truth, 'here-ness' is really made up of perceptions and sensations... For example, the sensations of pressure of the feet against the floor... they are just that..sensations. Likewise, the visual perceptions and hearing and so on so forth are just that. For in truth, 'location-space', 'individuality-self', ' inner-outer', etc are impressions. There is also a spacious or all-pervading quality to the experience of non-duality and this is what was meant as a sense of Oneness. At times, objects and surroundings can be 'de-cognated' ( that is ... freed from being perceived as such) and a free-ing joyful and vitalising feeling can be felt. This feels like the mind has finally comes to a must-needed rest from its incessant mental activities. | |
| Also, in the deeper range of non duality, brightness becomes stronger. This brightness is the result of mind's deconstruction which allows for intense penetration into consciousness. The Brightness can be so intense that it is truly stunning. Please understand that all along our existence has been non-dual. There is no attaining to non-duality... It is only the 'sense of self' that created the impression of duality. Even when the 'sense of self' is there, existence is still non-dual. We never live out of non-duality. For your necessary ponderance. Thank you for reading. Commments: Please also read the following articles from the same author at http://www.dreamdatum.com/articles-path.html
These are articles dealing with self-growth, healing and discovery systems or paths General Information on self-discovery Why is spiritual truth so elusive? A system of self-discovery What is the Higher Self Enlightenment is a gradual process Can the Source of existence be an Object? Paradox Ripples on the surface of the Source The limitation of Science in dealing with Reality Is there really an Eternal Witness? How does Non-duality feels like? Clearing of karmic patterns and habits Are we supposed to get rid of unwholesome thoughts? Misconceptions surrounding the term Non-duality The non-solidity of existence
Series of realisations and self-discoveries Below is a list of realisations that I had. They are arranged sequentially with the earliest realisation on the top. What was being discovered is that a latter realisation can over-ride or modify upon an earlier one. This listing is not a definitive guide, but a documentation of the process based on my own personal experience. The description of the self-discovery path that I use can be found here. Who are we? Self-arised impressions? Can a face see itself without a mirror? Doer and the being done Symbolism and Presence Entering Present Moment The impression of self and others Knowingness and Self All is the Universal Mind When meditation can be a hinderance Non-dual conversation A new phase
