We use examples from everyday experiences to explore getting excited by more than One versus the peace of oneness.
Duality Hack #3.7 – reading time: 4 minutes
Although excitement is always ignited by something that has an end, you expect the result to be everlasting satisfaction. When you accept that it never happens, you are ready to do it without excitement and have the peace of oneness, which is endless because it takes more than one to be disturbed.

Most children prefer suppressing that Santa Claus is fake to feel excited about his presents. Likewise, most believe a world with more than one is real to feel the excitement of endless possibilities. That sounds more inspiring than oneness, where there is nothing to choose since it requires more than one. But when you realise that endless options lead nowhere but to confusion, you appreciate the peace of no more than One.

If not rushing around to get excited about this and that, boredom will reveal the peace of oneness.

How come so many people like to watch movies? Most are probably interested because they want to experience something exciting.
Why do some watch porn? Probably because it seems more exciting.
How come everybody looks forward to a holiday? Perhaps they imagine it will bring more spectacular excitement.
On holiday, you can attend special events fabricated by the travel agency to improve the feeling of pleasure and have an out-of-the-ordinary experience. A movie – porn or not – is produced with the same purpose: to amuse you.
But your everyday life experiences are also produced to be extraordinary. Even though what you see, according to science, is nothing but empty space, the brain renders it into an exciting 3D experience. It seems more exciting than the formlessness of oneness, where there is nothing to look forward to and, thus, nothing to get excited about. But that is why it is so peaceful.

You must believe you are someone definitive to get excited in a world defined by time and space because otherwise, you cannot feel excited by a specific experience. However, believing you are someone definitive feels limiting, whereas not caring about it feels so peaceful that you do not need the excitement from something specific.

Questions and uncertainty arise from not being at peace, resulting from believing in living in a capsule of time and space instead of the formlessness of oneness. There, one has no questions and, therefore, is at peace.
