They say that seeing is believing, but it is the other way around. What you believe, you see. Consequently, you do not see anything when you do not believe in something –and not seeing anything, that which cannot be seen, namely the formlessness of oneness, does not appear to be hidden by the awareness of something.

The woman you see is not here. She is a simulation made of small pixels compiled to look like a woman.
But nothing else you see is real because reality is that which is One, and it takes more than one to be aware of something. Therefore, it is a lie when the brain claims your experiences are made from the signals it receives from your sensory system. What you seem to experience is nothing disguised as something. That is why the brain can produce images of something with your eyes closed. To spell it out, everything you see is a fantasy made by the brain to hide that there is no more than that which is One.
This is a metaphor to explain what cannot be explained, namely that you seem to experience a world where there seems to be more than one, although there is no more than that which is One since it is formless, thus endless,

The success of the iPhone (and its clones) is that you do not feel you interact with a screen but a world on the other side. You believe that illuminated pixels are objects in a real world that you can manipulate at your will.
In other words, Apple succeeded in imitating the workings of the brain, which twists nothing into an experience of something, so it seems you are a substantial being interacting with like-minded ones in a tangible world.

Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings cannot point to the reality of that which is One because it takes more than one to point to something. But they can point to the illusion of a world where there seems to be more than one, so you see that believing there is more than one hides that reality is that which is One.

No one is what they appear to be. Not in the sense that their real self is hidden underneath their appearance, but in the sense that any appearance – spiritual or mundane – is unreal because it requires more than one to appear as something, and there is no more than that which is One.

There is no truth to find in a world where there seems to be more than one because it takes more than one to find something, and there is no more than that which is One.
Since it also requires more than one to write or read this, nobody does that – as no one moves around in the virtual world of a game. However, it can be fun pretending to write or read this.
Doing that is not about authenticity, truth, transformation, or anything other than having fun pretending to be what you are not. However, when pretending to be someone is replaced by believing in being that, the fun is over because you constantly have to find somebody to confirm that your appearance is real.
You have come to the wrong place if you search for something to make that easier. Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings is not about creating something better but the undoing of the belief that there is something. Be grateful if you do not get it. There is nothing to understand because it requires more than one, and there is no more than the formlessness of oneness.
For the same reason, it is impossible to point to oneness. But when you believe there is more than that which is one, it is, within your belief, possible to point out that you are mistaken. When you acknowledge that, you know seeing more than one is make-believe. However, that does not mean you see oneness because it requires more than One. But it means, there is no belief to hide there never was or will be more than that which is one.

Most twist what they read or hear to fit into how they want to see the world. But since there is no more than that which is One, seeing a world where there seems to be more than one is a hallucination. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.
If you look for a deeper understanding or dig deeper into the matter of something, you enhance the belief in a world defined by time and space, thus blocking off oneness since it is formless, thus without depth.

In a world defined by time and space, you must always plan for the future to uphold the illusion of linear time.

The undoing of the belief in a world where there seems to be more than one does not result in something. You neither become more nor less because there is no more than which is One.

Undoing the belief in separation does not entail awakening, stillness, I am that or other romantic ideas. On the contrary, it results in nothing because producing a result requires separation.

Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings are not about self-realisation or transformation but the discontinuation of the self – or rather, the undoing of the belief in being someone.

Nothing is holding you back but your wish to get more than that which is One. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.
Suppose you perceive the energy from a tree as magical. Thus you hug it, hoping to share its mysterious power. But you are not transformed despite holding onto it for a long time. Instead, your arms ache. Hence very offended – as if the tree has lured you into this position – you say: »Stop holding me. Set me free.«
But you are not captured by the tree. It has no power to do that. You choose to hold onto the tree because you imagine it has something you want. To free yourself, you must examine if you get what you expect from the tree.
If you see it does not give you anything, regardless of how long you hold onto it, the need to hold onto the tree fades out since you realise the mystery was imagined.
The tree, of course, is a metaphor for a world where there seems to be more than one. It has nothing because reality is that which is One, and it takes more than one to have something. Nevertheless, you hold onto the fantasy of more than one until you realise it does not satisfy you.

That which is One has no room for something, as that requires more than one. For the same reason, it is nowhere. But since it is formless, it is everywhere. That is why a world where there seems to be more than one is nonexistent.

The belief in being someone in a world where there seems to be more than one is a choice you keep upholding. Consequently, the way to undo it is not to choose.

You cannot prove a world where there seems to be more than one is unreal because nothing unreal can be by that which is real, namely that which is One since it is formless, thus endless.

You are comparable to a radio. There is not someone inside it who sings the songs that come out of it now – and they were made in the past.
Another radio may respond to this by saying, »Who makes the signals that the radio gets?«
But broadcasting a sentence like »is the Moon made of cheese?« does not prove it is made of that.
If it did, the moon is made of cheese, and you are somewhere, which is unrealistic because there is no more than oneness since it is formless, thus endless.

Science states that the world we believe in feeling and seeing consists of 99.9999999 per cent empty space. And the rest – despite also being empty space consisting of nothing substantial – is what we perceive as elements of matter, making up a tangible world where we appear as somebody definitive. Thus everything definable is make-believe.
But fortunately, we are not the body, soul, or anything else imagined in empty space. That is why we say my body, soul, thoughts, feelings, etc. Acknowledging this does change anything in the world other than you do not perceive it as real – like you do not see the world on a monitor as real but simulated.

Since you, according to science, consist of nothing, others must constantly identify you as something to prevent you from being exposed as nothing.

Alcoholics like to follow a cure for hangovers, provided it does not involve eliminating the cause, namely, alcohol. Likewise, those believing to be somebody definitive like to be cured for the suffering that the belief entails if it does not involve eliminating the cause of their misery, namely the belief in being somebody specific.

What you appear to be is a construction of thoughts that has to be witnessed by somebody as something substantial. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.
Quantum Physics concludes the moon only exists when you look at it. In other words, it must be witnessed to appear real. Everything experienced is built upon that logic. For example, in a lawsuit, what you claim to have seen must be witnessed to be true. But if the witnesses only exist when they experience being seen by others, it is all make-believe.
That is why it is so important to socialise internally, externally or on social media. By doing that, you confirm there are others who, in return, seem to bear witness to you being what you believe to be. That works terrific if you feel approved by a group – for example, a country, a football team or a family – that you think is better than others. Hence you feel full of life.
But it only works when you follow the rules of the group. If not, the group punishes you by excluding you until you learn to adjust. In a courtroom, that is called justice.

There is nowhere to go and no one to meet in oneness since that requires more than one. And since it also takes more than one to be something, it is impossible to be anything in particular. That is frustrating if you want to make a difference because to manifest it, you need to perceive somebody else seeing you as different. But since there is no more than that which is One, there is nobody else unless you imagine being in a world where there seems to be more than one.

Suppose you live in a cold country but would like to move to a warmer island you saw on television where people wear slippers and shorts all year. However, replicating that in your cold country will not make you warmer. Nor will drinking a fancy cocktail, singing songs in a foreign language, or changing your name to something more tropical.
This metaphor illustrates that chanting, hugging, dressing in unique clothes, getting a new name, thinking positively, and whatnot cannot bring you oneness as long as you keep believing in someone definitive because that requires more than one. For the same reason, you cannot even join oneness.
But since it also takes more than one to leave something, you have never left oneness. Thus you only need to undo the belief that you are someone definitive.

Spiritual seekers are often so attached to their personalities that they cannot adjust to the world’s ways. Instead, they perceive themselves as spiritual beings on a special mission to improve the world. But since being or changing something is a confirmation of separation, which is the cause of suffering, it is enhanced the more you believe in changing yourself or the world.

Hoping for something, you fear not getting it. And if you get it, you fear losing it. But hoping for nothing, there is nothing to fear. That is why Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings do not promise you anything.

If you are stranded in the desert, there is no lasting solution but to leave. The same applies if you are passed up in a world where there seems to be more than one, except that it is not the world you need to leave but the belief that you are there. However, this belief cannot be undone in your way, as that enhances the belief in being there. Fortunately, it can be undone by applying one or more of Alexius’ Duality Hacks.

The experience of you as someone in a world where there seems to be more than one can be compared to relaxing in a bathtub and catching glimpses of a world in the mist rising from the hot water.
This mirage seems so exciting that it feels as if you are there. However, sooner or later, the sound of the water in the bathtub reminds you that you have forgotten reality – and so you see, the world in the mist is make-believe.

The idea of more than one is an illusion that ended the exact moment it was conceived because there is no more than that which is One. This is why what and where you believe in being is nothing but after images from the imagination of more than one. Read more about that here.
Although there is no oneness in these after images of a world where there seems to be more than one, their experience is empowered by oneness, hence symbols of it.
Therefore, the more you acknowledge a world where there seems to be more than one as a symbol of oneness, the less its differences appear to establish separation. Consequently, there is nothing to uphold the belief in being and having more than One.
NOTE: This article is part of Duality Hack #1 Every experience is make-believe.
