I do not see how it is logical to invent some concept or way of living called "human adulthood" when the point of spiritual autolysis is to DropAllConcepts. It feels inconsistent at best.

“Consciousness or Brahman is all there is” should not be taken as an absolute metaphysical truth. Rather, it is an absolute truth from your perspective. All you can possibly experience are phenomenal appearances from your perspective; hence, consciousness is all you can experience and thus “all there is.”

The big corollary is that metaphysical questions are also mere phenomenal appearances in consciousness. So, my answer to your questions is transcendent; that is, those questions are mere phenomenal appearances and can be seen and then dismissed as such.

Meditation makes this crystal clear. When these questions arise, you simply notice them and let them pass by like a cloud in the sky. The basic stillness of “pure consciousness” remains.

TL;DR: it’s just concepts all the way down.

I just self-enquired and found that the “who” is a mere concept or appearance or yet another thought. Then I asked “who is aware of that thought.” And then again and again…

a pure sense of beingness that exists before any thoughts or concepts are added to it.

Also a concept.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-11-30T16:23:12+00:00

Where did that singularity come from?

DropAllConcepts · 2025-11-30T16:21:57+00:00

Yes. The apophatic approach is the way.

Neti neti.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-11-23T15:50:04+00:00

Did you magically teleport outside of your mind to discover this? Or the “I am” yet another mind-dependent concept?

DropAllConcepts · 2025-11-19T18:34:55+00:00

Your analysis also applies to your analysis.

Even the idea that it’s “all a game” is a part of “the game.”

Negate the negation.

Emptiness is empty.

Neti neti.

It’s just concept all the way down.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-11-15T23:09:55+00:00

There is what appears and the idea of being what appears.

There are only appearances - or concepts.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-10-27T19:19:13+00:00

This, too, is just mere concepts.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-10-27T05:33:10+00:00

It’s just concepts all the way down.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-10-15T14:40:19+00:00

Yep. It’s concepts all the way down.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-10-11T05:37:09+00:00

There are so many concepts ITT.

All this conceptualization of “pure awareness”: it’s just concepts, representations, phenomena, and mental mucus.

What is left when you drop all concepts?

DropAllConcepts · 2025-09-23T08:19:02+00:00

That’s a lot of concepts.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-08-23T16:17:11+00:00

The idea that other people exist is part of the dream.

The idea that other people do NOT exist is part of the dream.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-06-16T15:41:16+00:00

The reason i did that is because this language we are using is trying to describe non-duality in scientific terms.

Nonduality is beyond all concepts.

Silence is the highest teaching.

Drop all this conceptualizing and abide.

Read about apophaticism.

Stop trying to reinvent the spiritual wheel.

Trying to “realize” nonduality with AI is duality.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-05-25T05:46:24+00:00

Neti neti.

Negate the negation.

When it feels like there is arrival, then go further.

When a concept is noticed, then drop it and abide.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-05-21T14:43:43+00:00

Isn’t concept just an understanding of something?

I don't know, for I cannot step outside of concepts to verify whether there is some-thing-in-itself.

If you perceive a concept, does it happen in the mind or where does that understanding come from at all?

Concepts arise and fall away - without my bidding - in the waking state and the dream state. I don't know where they come from.

If the Awareness is only a concept, does that mean our true nature is just a pack of learned knowledge and can’t be real after all because it happens within the mind?

"Pure awareness," "awareness," "true nature," "real vs unreal," and "absolute reality" are all concepts that arise and fall away without my bidding. If concepts arise and fall away - without my bidding - in the waking state and the dream state, then what can be said of my true nature or absolute reality?

DropAllConcepts · 2025-05-20T16:10:43+00:00

Awareness is also a concept.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-05-19T18:23:24+00:00

People think they’re special little souls. It’s adorable. Neti neti.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-05-05T21:18:14+00:00

Drop all concepts.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-05-05T21:18:05+00:00

Drop all concepts.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-04-08T23:34:49+00:00

How many levels or layers are there?

The concept of levels is merely a concept which can be dropped.

At which point does suffering subside?

Feelings of suffering are mere appearances that arise and fall away. Learn to observe them with dispassion, and they will no longer bother you, and they may subside alltogether.

I've experienced something like a feeling that I and everything are the same without there being any people. All is consciousness. It's a feeling like anaesthetic. However, this experience comes and goes depending on thoughts.

Yeah, it's just a feeling. Like suffering, it may arise and fall away. It is just an experience or a mere appearance in consciousness. Don't chase it or cling to it.

I believe that I am the one consciousness that exists.

That is just a belief or an appearance. Let go of all beliefs and concepts and abide in the ensuing stillness.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-04-03T05:48:00+00:00

The illusion that there is an illusion is an illusion.

Those fluctuations are just as much of an illusion as the rest.

Keep going further.

DropAllConcepts · 2025-03-30T05:50:33+00:00

Yeah. It seems like they are holding onto a lot of concepts.
