There is no self in man, man is the self. There is no life that you perceive: you are the life that you perceive. Non-duality is not about your oneness with God or your oneness with being human. Non-duality, non-twoness, is about being everything and there being no inner and outer.
Why choiceless awareness?
People with self-hatred are in conflict with themselves: I-and-myself.
In this, the person and the observer of the person are different, that is how it is viewed.
The observer who judges the own person. That is of course split.
In this way, there is no question of choiceless awareness.
Only when it is seen directly, without any doubt, that the person and the observer are not different but one and the same, will there be an inner transformation and choiceless awareness will be the case.

Wonderfully one-sided. Wonderful that navel-gazing of those so-called spiritual teachers.
After ‘I am’ comes the person again.
Like the Ten Bulls from Zen.
After finding the bull, you go back to the world, you go back to the market.
You are the world that you perceive: there is no self. Because that is just navel-gazing.
Yes, you are That (Brahman) but also the person. And if you see and understand that directly, they cancel each other out! And there will be an inner transformation. Yes, then and only then will there be choiceless awareness.
The ego is nothing more than the chewing gum we stepped in and that stuck to the bottom of our shoe.
Attaching to your eternal true self says
that you are afraid of death
but you do not have to attach
to That which is yourself.
Self-knowledge is not about ideas, concepts and philosophies.
Self-knowledge is not about gurus and methods.
Self-knowledge is not about psychologists and pills.
Self-knowledge is about this moment where you are.
Immediately seeing who and what you are without any judgement.
Self-knowledge is about inner transformation without the help of anyone or anything other than direct seeing and understanding itself.
Is it true that you only have two choices: to control your thinking or to be controlled by your thinking?
That is incorrect.
Why?
Only when there is an inner split (the observer and the observed) is there a desire to control your thinking.
The observer is equal to your thinking and when you see that directly, the inner conflict disappears. There is nothing left to control and no one can be dominated.
You are the world that you observe. In that lies inner peace.
There is no ‘you(r)’.
People cling to the idea of consciousness as the only reality, other people do so with love.
But clinging is a reference to fear, fear of death, the end of your existence.
But there is no self and life, there is only life, that which you perceive, and life in reality has no beginning and end. It does know change, in its infinity of existence. But life is life and you are that.
But as I-and-life you have gone in search of something to hold on to! Eternity in terms such as consciousness, love, God, etc.
But in that lies only ignorance and fear.
Yes, you are consciousness and love but also that which is mortal and limited. You are the world that you perceive. The observer and the perceived are not two but one and the same. There is no fear in that, there is no inner conflict.
Yes, you are everything.
It is not a theory when I say: that the observer and the person are one and the same. It is a fact. But do you see that?
There is no way to the Truth. The Truth is where we are. But our beliefs about ourselves we consider true and objective. Only when we really doubt our beliefs can what is before us be seen and understood directly. No guru and no method can help us with that.
