Me and Ada both must've said this thing a dozen times, but since this is something important for you to grasp, here it is again: Where is the world but in your own mind?

Matter is nothing but energy standing at a point. Physicists know this. There is a certain amount of energy standing still in this coffee cup resting on this table. When the cup moves, it becomes energy. If I hit you with this cup, you'd know there was energy coming at you. It is really that simple. From the highest point of view I saw that matter is frozen energy, and energy is nothing more than mind in motion. That all of it is just mentation! The whole universe is only a mentation. The whole thing is an image in our minds! This I try to show by saying, park your mind, go to sleep. Then where is this world? Don't wake up, and it never is again!

Where is that world but in your mind? Put your mind away permanently and there never again is the world. When you see your oneness, when you see your real Self, you see this entire universe as a dream in your mind, just as in night-dream. You imagine all your dreams, the characters in them, the action going on, the relationship between characters. The same way you wake up out of a night dream, some day you wake up out of this waking-state dream to the fact that you're dreaming the whole thing. You'll say, "Oh, my gosh! It's nothing but a dream!" And you'll laugh and that's the end of your being an effect of the illusion. If you come back to it, you'll try to help the rest of you wake up.

When you get your realization, the world doesn't disappear, but your knowledge of it changes completely. Instead of the world being separate, out of your control, you discover that it only exists because of your beingness. You're imagining the whole thing.

Then you see it as a dream, while before it seemed to be so real to you. That's the only difference before and after realization.

Because I said in the answer earlier the way is not controlling your thoughts⤵

You only feel the need to "right your thoughts" when you identify yourself with an idea. Pay them no attention. Don't fight them. Just do nothing about them, let them be, whatever they are. Your very fighting them gives them life. Just disregard. Look through. Remember to remember: 'whatever happens — happens because I am'. All reminds you that you are. Take full advantage of the fact that to experience you must be. That all depends on you. You need not stop thinking. Just cease being interested. It is disinterestedness that liberates. Don't hold on, that is all. Give up your addictions. There is nothing else to give up. You need not correct yourself — only set right your idea of yourself. Learn to separate yourself from the image and the mirror, keep on remembering: I am neither the mind nor its ideas: do it patiently and with conviction and you will surely come to the direct vision of yourself as the source of being — knowing — loving, eternal, all-embracing all-pervading. You are the infinite focused in a body. Now you see the body only. Try earnestly and you will come to see the infinite only.

Deepen and broaden your awareness of yourself and all the blessings will flow. You need not seek anything, all will come to you most naturally and effortlessly.

hi, what to do? Everytime I pick a new ego or something I'd like to experience, I get bored of it before it even happens. For example, I wanted to go back to the beginning of summer and manifest friends that I will spend summer adventures it. I thought it all out and claimed it but by the next day I got bored of it and didn't want it to happen anymore. And I keep doing it with all desires i get, i just get bored of them and then drop them. I'm bored of being this ego, but i also get bored of other egos too. And sometimes it's not even that I'm bored of them, but it more so another ego now becomes interesting to me and so I abandon the previous one to become this one and it's just a cycle that continues.

This sounds less like a self realization question and more like you having to look within yourself to find the things that actually excite you.

When you love something it's not hard choosing it; self discover in the psychological sense first ✨ ORR just let everything happen to you as it is if you have no preference.

Life will lead you there (to the place you are unaware you'd love to be) by itself :)

Life is pretty dope regardless of having your desires or not,

Just existing alongside everybody else is beauty.

Needing is such a nasty feeling. Enjoy the present regardless of how it is

It's your mind full of desires and fears that disturbs you – Nisagadatta

When you drop ego you really feel like "huh... this was perfect all along" why does anything have to be a specific way? Things can just be.

It's only the ego judgements that make anything less than perfect. I mean that in the most literal way

Incorporate more "So what?s" in your life.

Stop getting so emotionally involved in everything. Ego gets so threatened when you stop caring, you feel like you need to protect that identity at all costs.

Ask yourself "Does this really matter?" A plate broke today but SO WHAT? I could be gone tomorrow and I spent today angry.

So what dude... so what. Move on from those things.

Move on, leave them behind. The plate broke three minutes ago, it's another "now" now, and this one I can enjoy instead of getting stuck in something that already left. Past experience is gone, there's only this now now.

Move on.

This is so pathetic lol. I just spiraled real hard this morning because I woke up super attached to this character, but I'm back on my grind baby. Nothing music and deep breaths won't fix.

[gabriellaisgod]

I can't stop smiling bro, I swear those moments where you fully realize who you are compared to everything else are the best, can't wait till it becomes permanent.

i am the anon who asked about overnight results and sent the thank you a day or two ago. thank you sophie ❤️

anyways i wanted to do an update. i had a really weird sleep last night. my mind felt half awake and i could still feel my body and all but it’s like i couldn’t sleep yet no time had passed at all (my ac automatically turns off in 2 hours but it felt like it had been more than 2 hours). i woke up restless, not in the usual way i experienced and confused about life but not in a sad way. i can’t explain it. throughout the night i kept having a moments of feeling detached and floaty but it only lasts 3 seconds max each time.

i only found your blog 36 hours ago, coming from loa and english isn’t my first language so i still have a lot to learn but i wanted to share that, even though i have no idea what that was. thank you for listening <3

Maybe you're just starting to feel alive 😌 (for the morning part)

Besides that I don't interpret anything going on in consciousness so I cannot tell you why any of those things were.

To me it's just very to the point I did it/or I didn't. Yes or no I wipe my mind clean of either and move on

Just do whatever works for you as practice for self realization as long as you don't rely on it and know that you're actually, always, realized. You can't stop being yourSelf

You know, even that void is like proof for the mind to see, actually... You're not real at all, and shut it up forever. Because now you work at shutting it up by letting go and dropping desires and detaching and whatever else we've all been practicing here. They all lead to the same thing after all which is to see you're not IT

"Only your own mind is responsible for your bondage and liberation. There is no hindrance to you from Me."

hi lumi, how did you detach from ego, and stopped “waiting” for confirmation in the external? i know it isn’t real, but sometimes i feel like i wait for ego to make something happen when it’s powerless.

hi dear, i know how painful it can be waking up attached to the same old ego, over and over… even after ‘persisting’ for so long. but eventually there comes a point where you need to realize that materialization was never the goal. there is nothing to expect or wait for when it already is. and you’re absolutely right in saying that ego is powerless, it cannot create on its own. you need to leave vanessa alone. completely discard this ego and its mind/body (dismissing, not identifying) and take on your new one with zero regard for the old. think of it like stepping into a new person’s shoes; that person would not be identifying with ‘waiting for desires’ because it’s already been realized.

i believe this is from @realisophie or 4dbarbie, but i could be wrong… idk.. it’s an old screenshot. the point is you need to stop reacting to these thoughts of waiting and desiring because it shows that you still identify with it. everything is just a thought, anyway. completely surrender to the new dream and allow the past to slip from you because it will, it has no choice to. all is a dream and all relies entirely on your identification with it to exist.

“There's nothing to do except disbelieve..”

Hi Sophie, it’s me again! Just wanted to share some more “experiences”!

My “world” changes every day and I am just so happy! (My boyfriend has even become extremely sweet more than he usually is) For so long, I have been entirely detached from my ego that “me being at work” feels like a memory/dream, and it’s so bizarre! (Sometimes I even almost forget to punch in! haha!) I already know that after writing this, I will hardly remember that I even did so unless I really try to remember, but why would I want to? I know who “I am” all the time, so for fun I’ll “play” a game or “watch” tv but I won’t remember even doing those things. I even don’t remember conversations. They too feel like a dream/distant memory.

Desires and fears are no longer a thing which is amazing! I can literally just sit “all day” in a state of peace and indifference if I wanted to.

It’s such a weird but awesome feeling once you realize Self! “Every day” I look at things around me knowing that they aren’t real and it’s so nice! I even “tested” out changing my “world” and I was able to change a lot by simply not worrying/knowing that things aren’t real, and going on with my day!

You have helped me so much on my “journey” 💖

This is a very good testimony of how it happens! The memory thing; yes, exactly! You have no reason to hold onto it anymore. I am aspiring for vanishing it completely and living now to now just like Nisargadatta 💖

Conversations are like: I can see these bodies talking about something but does it really matter? It is happening and the conversation is going on but it has no meaning to you. Unless it's a bf or a person you really love discussing with, in which you get more "involved" but that too is only for the moment and you move on from the experience onto another!

I know, it's so beautiful and fun 😭 gosh I wouldn't trade the peace for anything! I just love this "emptiness" and freedom so much 💓

[gabriellaisgod]

I’m so confused Sophie, ppl say I’m not supposed to find out and that I should stop fighting things but then they say that I have to remind myself throughout the day when I feel like I’m too immersed in ego that I’m awareness and this is all an illusion, like huh??? I’m crying rn because I just feel too much and I can’t stop identifying with the stress and worries that this practice gives me, like ugh why is not identifying with the ego so damn hard??? I give up

Do you have any problem not caring about my problems/desires/fears? Exactly.

That is detachment and not whatever else you guys are doing. It's peaceful not a struggle

[gabriellaisgod]

how long did it take for you to confidentially/comfortably choose new characters & different lives? not asking as a how to, but genuinely curious as everyone’s journey seems to be different. i would also love to know what came first for you. the inner peace, the external love for others, indifference of the world, or instant materializations after you realized Self. it’s so interesting!

Indifference, non-attachment, desirelessness, and seeing the world as unreal is what came first :)

Everyone's journey is 99.9% the same because the goal and the steps to getting there are the same 😁

[gabriellaisgod]

How would you tame Vanessa when she is in pain all the time? My Vanessa is in constant pain because she has a rare disease, when I followed loa i was denying reality which was so hurtful and frustrating. I know better to do that now. Vanessa has been wanting to shift to get rid of it and live a better life, its difficult to think of Lara when Vanessas pain is so strong everyday. Any advice you could share with me. ( tough love is appreciated)

There is nothing to tame. The pain is not yours; as long as you keep claiming you are this body it will persist

The antidote is the same for everything in the world: don't want it? Let go of it

If you're holding a scalding hot metal bar, what can you do but unclutch your hand and let it drop?

[gabriellaisgod]

What do I do when a desire or fear comes to my mind? it doesn't feel right to suppress them... :(

I am not talking of suppression. Just refuse attention.

Nisargadatta has a saying "When you happen to walk in a crowd, you do not fight every man you meet — you just find your way between."

Neville has another "Indifference is the knife that severs, feeling is the tie that binds."

When you refuse to play the game, you are out of it.

[gabriellaisgod]

To fix a separation , I just become aware of there never being a separation? In the present moment? Or in my imagination?

Imagination is a faculty of the mind. You are beyond the mind. Mind and body become your servants once you discover your Self.

The present moment is all that is, so yes - become aware of having never been the ego, of your ego being just one of your creations.

Ego is the concept of individuality, of separation from the “I", and the All. Therefore ego is a false assumption. We are really the Supreme Reality, we are not separate from It. To "fix" the separation, reject what you are not. Only look at who you are, over and over and over until it becomes the permanent identification and replaces the ego.

[gabriellaisgod]

How do you drop a belief?

It becomes very easy once you've seen you are nothing that you are conscious of. Belief is of the ego. You become aware of a thought like "I am sick", then you remember you aren't that. I could describe the experience as a calm "oh", and then it fixes itself. You naturally let go of it upon remembering your ego isn't you, that's literally all, physicality follows.

[gabriellaisgod]

You are missing the point which is to recognise something as unreal.

You don't fight something that's unreal to disappear.
