Examine appearances like thoughts
Where do thoughts come from when they have arisen?…
Where do they reside when they have come?…
Where have they gone when they have disappeared?…
In the same way when appearances have come where have they come from?…
Where do they stay?… Where do they go?…
What about you? Where do you come from when you have arisen in the morning?…
Where do you reside when you have come?…
Where do you go to when sleep takes over?…
Where have you appeared from when you were born?…
Where do you reside when your alive?…
Where will you go when your dead?…
Where does consciousness come from when it appears?…
Where does consciousness stay when it has appeared?…
Where does consciousness disappear to when it goes away?…
To take this even further where did the whole universe, visible and invisible, come from right after the big bang?…
Where does it reside in after the big bang?…
Where will it disappear to at the end of the kalpa or big crunch?…
Have you found the thoughts? The you? Where they reside in?… Psst you can't.
Do you or thoughts actually exist in the first place?… If they couldn't be found…
Does anything?… What is real should last forever, does anything? Ultimately? The question real or unreal becomes redundant… It is real in the eye of the beholder, if the beholder itself is not found… Then there is nothing more to say…
Look in this wy…

No self means non-duality means there is no self at all, in real life, here and now
If there is the feeling you need to see this for yourself there is a lot that can be said about it but eventually its gonna have to be seen if this is true in the normality [or abnormality] of everyday life. Looked at the simplicity of it, asked what would [need to] change if this were true?
Sit, let go of the need to control or change anything that is, was, or will be. Thought will flow, allow it no matter the content, look, notice everything that happens, from the body functioning, pain, breathing, everything around you, thoughts about that or what was, is, shall be or should be. Where are you in all of this?
Doesn't it all just happen? Without a you in control? Aren't it just the thoughts after the fact of what is that make it seem that things happen to someone separate from life? Allow focus on this, can this be seen?

Labelling
All of the above and those not mentioned are only labels, nothing more! Now that statement will be labelled blasphemy by millions of people. Let's look a little deeper into this.
All of this naming is not happening just like that, there is our existence and there is consciousness of this, there must be something behind this in control of all of it, let's give it a name. Us being human we feel the need to be unique and feel we belong to a group.
There is a mind, and it labels litterally everything even itself and the body as a separate self and something before it which cannot really be known by it.
And so seeming division and separateness came round the corner and wars have been fought ever since, about these labels [and greed of course which isn't all to different].
Isn't that very strange if you really look at it? Cause do we really know that there is something behind in control? And that if it were so we would just be fighting and defending names for the same thing?
But is it really true that there is something there behind which is in control and being aware or doing the looking? Most people just assume this must be so cause they were either raised like that, were told this or just think this is logical. But is reality by definition logical?
Now read this:
a modernization of a quote from 'whoso knoweth himself" by ibn el'arabi:
you are not a you.
this is life, without any you.
you never were,
and you never will be.
there is only life
without separation.
original:
The Prophet (upon whom be peace) points out by that, that thou art not thou: thou art He, without thou;
it is meant by it that thou never wast nor wilt be, whether by thyself or through Him or in Him or along with Him.
Thou art neither ceasing to be nor still existing. Thou art He, without one of these limitations.
For the whole text click I recommend it! Whoso knoweth himself?
Now to me that sounds a lot more like reality! What would the implication be if it were true? Let's see: no division or separation, nothing to defend or fight wars about and no self to uphold or maintain and to make perfect. So is there a self in the reality of experience right now? check this right NOW!

Identification
All of this is just a concept, eventually you have to leave concepts alone and abide as your true center which is your own Self [and the Self of every other Being].
