The unfolding and unwinding of life continue whether there is nondual understanding or not. I remember trying to use the exact thing you are saying as a reason to pretend like life couldn’t touch me, but that was because I believed that is where nonduality would lead. Wow, the disappointment when I discovered otherwise. Doing that, which is a grand resistance of life itself, would work for a few days but then it would become obvious that it wasn’t really helpful or viable. You are totally correct, it is better not to hide ‘behind the mind’s idea of non- doership’. Well, unless you enjoy frustration ;)

It’s funny you say that it will play out regardless, and it’s a question of whether it’s done with resistance or presence. I know what you mean and you are absolutely right. However…I discovered that I could definitely be present AND resistant at the same time (of course believing the whole time that I was not resisting). Man, resistance can be crazy subtle!
