how to know you are only consciousness
⭐️part one of the understanding consciousness & non dualism series
you are consciousness. you are not the body or the mind or the ego or the thoughts or experiences; those are what you think you are, they are the false self because the real you is....consciousness.
nothing can exist without you being conscious of it first. things exist because you are aware of them and as consciousness, you are always aware and can only be aware. for example, you are aware of these words right now right? 10 seconds ago you were not aware of the wall or sky above you so it did not exist to you 10 seconds ago. most likely, you are now aware of the wall/sky bc i pointed it out so now, the wall/sky exists to you. you are consciousness/awareness and you are always aware of something.
since you are always aware and things only exist when you become of aware of them, the only thing you are is awareness = consciousness.
"you" are looking at your screen right now and "you" read these words but what is the thing that acknowledges or notices that the screen is there or that the words are there? consciousness, awareness. look at "your" shirt or hand or an object and tell me how do you know its there. you might say its because you see it with "your" eyes or you feel it on "your body" but that would be incorrect. you are only consciousness; you are not the human body. the shirt and words are there bc you are aware of them; you (consciousness) are observing them. i use quotations on the "you" to emphasize the fact that this human body is not you, that is your false self:
(human body, ego, emotions, thoughts = false self ; consciousness, awareness, the observer, imagination = your true self, identity)
let me give you another scenario: let say you cannot see anything, you cannot hear, touch, taste, or smell anything. you would still be aware and know that you are still present because you are always consciousness and you are always aware. the removal of the five senses and human body cannot remove the fact that you are awareness. the five senses do not matter because consciousness is all there is. if there was no human body, you would still be aware because consciousness / awareness is your true identity. think about it though: if there were no five senses, you would still be aware. this proves that the five senses are not you, the human body is not you, consciousness is what you really are and only are.
let me speak more about the human body and thoughts, emotions, etc. when "you" (your false self / human body) experiences pain, that comes and goes therefore its temporary. you, consciousness, is only aware of that pain and when you think you are the human body, you think that you are experiencing this pain which is false. let me give you a personal example: one day i was sitting on my couch doing my homework and everything was quiet but i got up and i kicked down my big ass metal water bottle that was on the floor and it fell over and made a really loud noise. since i forgot the water bottle was there and because i got scared of the sudden noise, i literally heard and felt my heart beating so loud. at the same time, it was raining quietly outside and i remember hearing my heart beating but i thought no, i hear it bc im aware of it so i turned my attention to the sound of rain outside (i became aware of the rain) and when i did, i literally didnt hear my heart beating anymore bc i was not aware of it and i was aware of the rain instead; my beating heart did not exist in that moment. then i became aware of my heart beating again instead of the rain and i heard and felt my heart again and not the rain.
the point of this story is that, that "pain" or "feeling" left once i was not aware of it anymore. it was temporary because my true self (consciousness) was not really feeling that pain; the false self felt the pain of "my" heart beating only because i was aware of it. same thing applies with thoughts, they are temporary, they come and go while consciousness never leaves. "you" think you are the one who thinks these thoughts which is false. why? ... because you are only awareness. these thoughts exist only bc you are aware of them. as consciousness, you can only be aware, you can only be the observer; you cannot experience pain, pleasure, etc. you only observe, be aware of that pain and pleasure. the ego is also the false self. ego = thoughts, beliefs, emotions. when you think that learning about non dualism is hard, that the ego that makes it seem hard to understand, thats not the real you (consciousness).
now you know that you are not the human body, you are consciousness that is observing, being aware of the human body and those so called experiences and feelings, etc.

One day, a young student approached the Buddha and asked him to teach him about the nature of reality.
The Buddha led the student to a nearby river and pointed to the water rushing by.
"Do you see that water?" he asked.
"It's constantly moving, always changing. It flows downstream, never staying in one place for long. This is the nature of reality - it's constantly changing, always in motion."
The student nodded, understanding what the Buddha was trying to teach him.
Buddha continued, "Just like the water flows downstream, so too do our thoughts and emotions. They come and go, never staying in one place for long. But if we learn to let them flow, if we learn to let go of our attachments and desires, we can find peace and freedom within."
The student took the Buddha's words to heart, and he made a commitment to practice mindfulness and non-attachment in his daily life. And as he practiced, he began to experience a sense of peace and freedom that he had never known before.

Happy 80th Anniversary of Dr. Albert Hofmann’s Bicycle Day. 
"It gave me an inner joy, an open-mindedness, a gratefulness, open eyes and an internal sensitivity for the miracles of creation…. I think that in human evolution it has never been as necessary to have this substance, LSD. It is just a tool  to turn us into what we are supposed to be.” -Dr. Albert Hofmann (On his 100th birthday in 2006)

One day, a Zen master was meditating in his garden when he was interrupted by a loud, persistent meowing.
He opened his eyes to see a cat sitting in front of him, looking up at him with pleading eyes.
The Zen master realized that the cat was hungry, so he reached for a bowl of milk and placed it in front of the cat.
As the cat began to drink, he resumed his meditation.
A few minutes later, the meowing resumed, even louder and more insistent than before. The Zen master opened his eyes again and saw that the cat was still sitting in front of him, looking up at him with pleading eyes.
He realized that the cat was still hungry, so he reached for another bowl of milk and placed it in front of the cat. The cat gratefully drank the milk and then curled up at the Zen master's feet, purring contentedly.
The Zen master resumed his meditation, and this time, the meowing did not return. As he meditated, the Zen master reflected on the lesson he had learned from the cat: that sometimes, the most persistent and persistent problems can be solved with simple acts of kindness and compassion.

What should a person do who does not have time to read the Mahabharata?
Even if there is no time to read Mahabharata, its new abstract formula can prove useful in our life.
The wrong demands and stubbornness of the children are not curbed in time, then in the end you will become helpless = Kaurav
No matter how strong you are, but if you are with unrighteousness, then all your knowledge, weapons, power and blessings will be in vain = Karna
Don't make your children so ambitious that by misusing education you invite apocalypse by destroying yourself = Ashwatthama
Never give such a promise to anyone that you have to surrender to the unrighteous = Bhishma Pitamah Morality says, Always keep your promises. Wisdom says, Never make promises because you only know the present moment. You don't know how things will turn out in the future. Morality binds you. Wisdom sets you free. Morality is the path of Bhishma.
Misuse of property, power and authority and the association of miscreants ultimately leads to self-destruction = Duryodhana
Blind person- means currency, alcohol, ignorance, attachment and work (Mridula). Power in the hands of a blind person also leads to destruction = Dhritarashtra
If a person has knowledge tied to discretion, then victory is definitely achieved = Arjun
You cannot be successful always by creating deceit, deceit and mischief in every work = Shakuni
If you successfully follow policy, religion, and karma, then no power in the world can defeat you = Yudhishthira
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare ………..
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare ………..

HIGHER SELF
It's okay to grow so much that nobody knows who you are anymore. Don't look to the approval of others for your mental stability.
If you're rejected, move on. Don't shrink yourself to fit the person you've outgrown. Live in your purpose. Practice gratitude. Be your higher self.
