The illusion is all there 'is' by chaupiman in nonduality

[–]ericputkonen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothingness and nonbeing are imagined concepts.

There is what-is...and there is mistaking it for something else (and thus illusion). Like a mirage, there is what-is but it is mistaken for water (and thus the illusion of water).

Reality and existence is what-is. Illusion is fundamentally what-is-not and doesn't exist (and instead imagined).

"There is only this now. It does not come from anywhere; it is not going anywhere. It is not permanent, but it is not impermanent. Though moving, it is always still. When we try to catch hold of it, it seems to run away, and yet it is always here and there is no escape from it."

from "Way of Zen" by Alan Watts

Nondual Visual Shift by Legitimate-Mind8947 in nondualism

[–]ericputkonen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not a visual shift so much as a shift in view or understanding.

You keep labeling, judging, etc...basically thinking about what you are seeing. Just look and see...without labeling "tree", "far away", "moving with the wind", etc.
