What you see is make-believe

The woman you see is not here. She is a simulation made of small pixels compiled to look like a woman. However, since oneness is formless, thus endless, every shape you see is fake. So, it is a lie when the brain claims it makes your experiences based on your sensory system’s signals. There is no more than the formlessness of oneness, so the brain makes your experiences of something from nothing. But the brain does not do it to deceive you. On the contrary, it wants to help you appear in a world with more than one as you crave.

That is not a factual explanation. It is a metaphor to illustrate the unexplainable. You cannot be someone substantial in a tangible world because there is nothing but the formlessness of oneness.

The smartphone’s success 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, the smartphone has succeeded in imitating the workings of the brain. It twists nothing into an experience of something, which appears genuine when you react to it as someone definitive.

Alexius’ Duality Hacks are not about self-realisation or transformation. They are about discontinuing the self – or rather, the undoing of the belief in being someone.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

No one is what they appear to be, not in the sense that their real self is underneath their appearance. There is no self, soul, or anything else that requires more than one, as there is no more than oneness.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

If you look for a deeper understanding by digging deeper into something specific, you enhance your belief in a world defined by time and space. Hence, you block off oneness because it is formless and, therefore, without depth.

There is no truth to find in a world with more than one because there is no more than that which is One. Consequently, since it requires more than one to write or read this, nobody does that – like no one moves around in the virtual world of a game. Nevertheless, pretending it can be fun. See Duality Hack #2.1-5.

Doing that is not about authenticity, truth, or transformation but having fun pretending to be where you are not. However, the fun is over when simulating something is replaced by believing it. Then, you must constantly find somebody to confirm your belief is real.

If you want something to make that easier, Alexius’ Duality Hacks is not for you. They are not about creating something better but undoing the belief in something. Be grateful if you do not get it. There is nothing to understand. It calls for more than one to realise something, and there is no more than that which is One.

For the same reason, it is impossible to point to oneness. But when you insist on experiencing more than one, it is possible to point out that the brain makes your experiences. Thus hiding what is impossible to experience, namely oneness.

Suppose you perceive the energy from a tree as magical. Hence, you hug it, hoping its mysterious power will transform you. But, despite holding onto it for a long time, you get nothing but aching arms. Therefore, mightily offended, you appeal to the tree: »Stop imprisoning me. Set me free.«

But the tree has not captured you. It has no power to do that. You held onto it because you imagined the tree had something you wanted. Hence, you free yourself by examining if you get what you expected. Seeing the tree does not give you anything. Regardless of how long you hold onto it, you realise its magical energy is make-believe.

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 is the cause of suffering.

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

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

You cannot prove that the experience of a world with more than one is fake. Reality is oneness, and it takes more than one to prove anything.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

The undoing of the belief in a world with more than one does not result in something. You neither become more nor less because oneness is all there is.

Undoing the belief in separation does not entail awakening, stillness, ‘I am that’ or other mystic states of mind. On the contrary, it results in nothing because producing a result requires separation.

Science says 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, thus not substantial – is what we perceive as elements of matter. So, the tangible world in which we appear as somebody definitive is make-believe. 

Fortunately, we are not a body, soul, or anything else definable. That is why we say my body, soul, thoughts, feelings, etc. However, acknowledging that does not change anything in the capsule of time and space where we appear. But it changes our perception of it. It is not seen as real– like you do not see the world on a monitor as real.

What you believe in being is a construction of thoughts. It is exposed as fantasy if not seen as substantial by other constructions of thoughts.

Quantum Physics concludes that something only exists when you look at it. In other words, it must be witnessed to appear real. The world is built upon that logic. For example, only what somebody verifies is true in a lawsuit. 

That is why you must socialise internally, externally or on social media to substantiate others. In return, bear witness to your existence. It works best if you feel approved by a group you consider better than others. That makes you feel special.

But since those who ratify you only exist when you think you see them, your existence is a construction of thoughts.

You are comparable to a radio. No one inside it sings the songs coming out of it now. Besides, they come from the past. Another radio may respond to this by saying, »Who makes the signals that we get?«

Within the context of a world defined by time and space, the brain makes the signals we get. But since such a world is as empty as a dream, the signals are make-believe.

Most alcoholics only accept a cure for hangovers if it does not involve eliminating the cause: alcohol. Likewise, those who believe in being somebody definitive like to be cured of the suffering that belief entails. However, they do not want to eliminate the cause of their misery, namely the belief in a world defined by time and space.

If you are stranded in the desert, there is no lasting solution but to leave. The same applies if you feel lost in a world where there seems to be more than one. However, it is not the world you must leave but the belief that you are there. But it cannot be left in your way, as that enhances the belief in being there. Fortunately, applying one or more of Alexius’ Duality Hacks undo the belief in more than One.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

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 only possible if you imagine being in a world with more than one.

Suppose you live in a cold country but would like to move to a warmer one where people wear shorts all year. Replicating that in your cold country will not make you warm. Nor will drinking a fancy cocktail, singing songs in a foreign language, or changing your name to something more tropical. You must leave your country and go where the warmth is.

This story illustrates that chanting, hugging, wearing unique clothes, getting an exotic name, and thinking positively will not reveal oneness. However, unlike in the story, you cannot depart the world where you appear and go to oneness because you have never left it. Therefore, it is not about doing something to return to oneness but undoing the belief that you are in a world with more than one.

The experience of being someone in a world with more than one can is like catching glimpses of a world in the mist from the hot water in a bathtub. The mirage seems so exciting that it feels as if you are there. But soon, the sound of the bathtub reminds you that you have forgotten reality. And so you see, the world in the mist is make-believe.
