Q. What was the necessity for Nonduality to create duality, especially when Nonduality is without attachment
A. Nonduality didn’t create duality. Duality is just how the mind divides what never stopped being one.
Q. Who is posting in Facebook
if not your ego?
A. The posting is just happening. There isn’t a “who” behind it. The mind wants to attach an entity with volition to actions, but life unfolds on its own.
Q. Is it possible to be aware of Awareness without any other object in awareness?
A. No... the moment you try to be aware of Awareness, you’ve already turned it into an object. Awareness can’t appear as an object to itself. It’s just the fact of knowing, with nothing to point at.
It's like the eye trying to see itself.
Q. If there's no self,
Then what is "I am?
A. I am” isn’t a someone, it’s the bare sense of being before it gets personalized. When the idea of a self drops, “I am” doesn’t disappear... the identity layered on top of it does. “I am” is just a pointer, not what is.
Q. Can anyone tell me in an extend form and deep explanation of how I am not my thoughts..I am not my mind..also then who am I?
I just want a deeper understanding
A. You aren’t your thoughts because you’re aware of them. You aren’t your mind because the mind is just thoughts, images, and feelings appearing. The one asking “who am I?” is another appearance. What you are is the seeing of all of it… the part that doesn’t come and go.
Q. Is money the cause of suffering?
A. Suffering comes from the sense of a separate “me” who believes it lacks something. Life still handles what needs to be handled... earning money, feeding the family, taking care of the body... but none of that requires a suffering self at the center.
Q. What's your true Identity and true Self?
A. Identity is something the mind creates, and the idea of a true self is another concept. What you are is here before any of that.
Q. How do you practice
Detachment...?
A. You don’t practice detachment. The one who wants to practice it is the attachment.
Q. Does anyone know the originator of the idea of 'Presence?'
A. No one originated the idea of presence. Every tradition has its own word for it, but the pointing is always the same. It isn’t an invention or a teaching, it’s the simple fact of being aware, and that was here long before any label.
A. Thoughts and feelings show up on their own, there’s no choosing any of that. The suffering only kicks in when they get taken as “mine.” If they’re left as they are, just appearances coming and going, there’s no one there to suffer them.
