Non-Duality and Awakening, by Other Means… Two
Read time: 26 minutes You do not actually exist in a dualistic world. therefore “you” cannot "escape the paradoxical position of the ego."
This seeming "you" who is asking "how" to "escape," IS THE EGO. An illusion in other words. An illusion cannot "escape" the fact that it is an illusion. Or in other words, illusions cannot, by their very nature (of being illusions), "become" real.
The Light of Consciousness does not cast a shadow. EVERYTHING that casts a shadow is merely more shadow, illusion, beliefs.
First and most importantly of all, it must be understood that beliefs are not real. We are free to believe in what seems or even maybe is real, and we are also free to believe in illusions.
