Stop Identifying With The Mind | Non-Duality Spirituality and Meditation

What do I mean when I say: Identification with thinking? And how do we awaken from this dreamstate?

Besides talking and writing about Non-Duality I am also an artist. Painting with mostly acrylics, but sometimes also with mixed media, on canvas and paper.

It's good most of the time, running with functional cookies only. But like this afternoon, when a thought storm appears, it's intense until I realise what is happening

It’s clear you have self-knowledge that is not just a concept, but a sense of being - being a very different kind of ‘self’. Even so, you have explained it well. It is helpful, since the explanations are pointers and reassurances, and I’ve experienced, to some extent, that the practice of stillness can reveal this very different sense of being, the one that you yourself lean back into. Whether this grounding in being is gradual or sudden for each individual seems to vary. You had a sudden awakening. Have you observed others who have had gradual awakenings? Have you any comments on why this may be gradual or sudden and whether it is not really under our control?

If not thoughts, what then? For me the answer is feelings and needs. Both thoughts and feelings are temporary and change, just like all life :-). I don't believe or disbelieve my thoughts and live in a mental state of "I do not know."

My emotions and felt body tell me about my basic life needs; food, shelter, air, warmth, loving social interactions, play and self-expression. From there, it's easy to live from my heart.

Listening to my brain is fundamentally different than listening to my heart. Ideally, my mind is a tool for my heart, with my heart leading. Breathing into my heart and noticing my heart beating are both great ways of getting me out of my head and into my basic existence. From there, I feel a deep connection with all life and amazement with life itself.

It's funny...before awakening, I had the idea that the social constructs would disappear. In reality, social constructs come and go, but identification with them disappears. Even "observer" is an idea.

Hello Hans, of course I agree but I go through a period of fear of the collective mind and its madness. Ignorance and suffering are everywhere. Can I just observe it ?

Hello me! I made an excellent video! Without any effort 😂 my other interpretation called Hans did it 😂

The human ego is a simplistic, cartoon representation of the real thing. It has to be simplified to be digestible in a small amount of time by a diverse array of different people. To say that YOU are just as valuable as this ego is just as ridiculous as to say that your car weighs just as much as its number plate (to use a materialistic analogy). Humans are nature, humans are cells, humans are organs, humans are sensation and, even more than that, humans are awareness. Am I getting close?
