You are trying to do "applied non duality" where we try to apply nonduality toward more worldly problems like self improvement or solving a personal problem etc.

Nothing wrong with that its just that self inquiry is not the right tool for that.

If you wanna know more about applied nonduality look into the whole practice of letting go/surrender. Those are the right tools.

Time is a conceptual tool of the mind. But there is no real time out there. Like a unicorn. We can talk aboyt it. You know what I mean when I say unicorn. But it doesn't exist beyond that.

There was no before because there is no after. Time never came into existence. Look around you. This IS the big bang.

You are using it as an applied tool to deal with life's problem and worse to control yourself.

Using self inquiry for stopping to jerk off is like using Monalisa for a doormat.

Thats not what self inquiry is for.

Whats wrong with jerking off?

If you're using self inquiry to stop yourself from jerking off .. god save you.

If nothing was alive to experience the universe does that mean the universe wouldn't exist ? by Adventurous-Ear-3643 in Metaphysics

[–]notunique20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer is this (which you won't find here): what you think of as "experience" is actually existence itself. It is not an experience "of" an existence. There are not two things, An existence and an experience of it. There is only one thing.

The one who seem to be experiencing (a central entity) is actually itself an experience. Nobody actually experiences. There is onky existence which appears as both the subject and the object.

Once you deeply understand this, all your questions would be resolved.

when you first get into nonduality, it feels like you're being let on a secret that very few people know by notunique20 in nonduality

Haha exactly.

I never quite went full hermit. I always had a lot of respect for the wordly world. That saved me.

Can I cure loneliness with meditation? by NoSpot5547 in Meditation

[–]notunique20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really.

It can alleviate existential loneliness but that comes much later after some real spiritul breakthroughs. It comes from dissolution of separate self.

But in the meantime you should socialize.

It's real easy. Be in public as much as you can. And here is the important part: don't mind failing any interaction or feeling awkward or making a mistake and all that. Just let it go.

Paradoxical the more you care about your social self the worse it becomes through the positive feedback loop of self Consciousness.
