This blog post explores the analogy of the world as a complex virtual game designed to make us experience separation from our true Self. It examines nondual philosophies such as Advaita Vedanta, Taoism, Buddhism, and 'A Course In Miracles' (ACIM), traditions which suggest the world may be less fixed than it appears. The post discusses the importance of spiritual relationships and collective awakening, using meditation and self-inquiry to transcend the illusion of separation and realize our true nature as an indivisible consciousness.
This blog post by Martin Lenclos delves into nondual philosophy and its impact on understanding reality and the self. Drawing from texts like the "Yoga Vasistha" and teachings of Advaita Vedanta, it explores how meditation and visualization practices can help testing whether the sense of separation loosens. Lenclos also discusses the intersection of ancient philosophies and modern consciousness studies, emphasizing the concept of the One Mind and the practice of "Design for Nothing" to achieve a state of peaceful awareness.
