No contrasts, no duality

Updated June 15, 2023

When contrasts meet they cancel each other out, so if you for example do not exclude negativity in order to experience positivity, you would not be able to judge something as positive. In other words, when all contrasts are included, you would not even be able to experience yourself as someone definitive. You would be that which you always have been and always will be, namely the formlessness of that which is one, which cannot be experienced as there are no contrasts in that which is formless.

When the opposing sides of a contrast meet, they cancel out each other. Therefore, when all opposite sides meet, you cannot perceive yourself as someone definitive. Hence there is nothing to hide that which always has been and will be, namely the formlessness of oneness. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

According to science, two worlds were about to evolve milliseconds after the big bang: one of matter (the one we believe in seeing) and one of antimatter. But matter and antimatter cannot coexist. If they meet, an incredible amount of energy is released, making them disappear in one big flash.

Therefore, the brain excludes antimatter from our awareness to create our experience of a tangible universe defined by time and space. Thus making it impossible for science to find antimatter, although their observations of the universe imply it must be somewhere.

The world of matter consists of contrasts. But unlike matter and antimatter, they coexist like two sides of a coin, like black and white. However, If you exclusively focus on black or white or equally on both, they become meaningless, so you enter a state of not-knowing. That is why if you want to remain in the consciousness of being someone, you only focus on these black letters until the white background is diminished and the collectively agreed meaning of the black letters is enhanced.

All experiences are deceptive – also the experience of dimension. Reality is more flat than this image, because it is the formlessness of that which is one and formlessness is sizeless. Besides it takes more than one to experience something and as formlessness is endless, there is no more than that which is one. When defocusing contrasts fades out and so the brain cannot fabricate an illusion of reality. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

When you defocus, contrasts fade out. Hence the brain cannot fabricate an illusion of something definable. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

But should you want to enter a state of not knowing and its bliss of nothing, you can use Duality Hack #4 Inclusiveness frees you from duality to cancel out contrasts. It is not the only way. Below you can see other duality hacks for cancelling out the opposing sides of contrasts.

  • Duality Hack #2: If you do not believe but pretend to be someone definitive, you do not make a difference, thus cancelling out duality.
  • Duality Hack #3: Seeing everything as symbols of the formlessness of oneness cancel out contrasts because the apparent differences do not make a difference.
  • Duality Hack #6: Being in sync with the brain’s script, you are not definitive but relative. Thus contrasts are the means to be in sync and not to be someone definitive.
  • Duality Hack #8: Going with the interaction of the opposing elements in any contrast, the duality flow eventually makes you feel so complete that disparities disappear, thus contrasts.
  • Duality Hack #9: The more you connect with the empty breath, the more you become indifferent to differences. Thus contrasts are slowly but surely cancelled out.
  • Duality Hack #10: Unlike the other duality hacks, this one immediately undoes all contrasts once and for all.
  • Duality Hack #11: In the world of the inward-facing senses, contrasts are so abstract that you do not notice them sooner or later.
  • Hack #12: Being alone together, the beholder sees no difference between the experienced and the experiencer. Consequently, time and space stop making sense, wherefore there is nothing to hide reality is the formlessness of oneness.

If the opposing sides of contrasts are not kept apart to collaborate in the definition of each other, they blend, thus annihilating their individual meaning. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

THE BRAIN AUTOMATICALLY NEUTRALISE OPPOSITES COLOURS

This image illustrates how the complementary colours of the RGB colour model’s primary hues turn into neutral grey when they are equally combined. The same applies to the complementary colour that emerges by mixing the primary ones. It also applies to the RYB and CMYK colour modes. Plus, complementary feelings, such as love and hate. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

Cancelling out contrast can be compared to complementary colours cancelling out each other when combined. For example, when you see red, the brain also generates its complementary colour. However, the latter is not fully projected out in the world. So to see it, you have to stare at red for a sustained time – thirty seconds to a minute – and then quickly look at a white surface to see its complementary colour.

In a world defined by time and space, the colours we believe to see are based on the RYB colour model, where the primary colours are red, yellow and blue. These colours are subtracted from the colours of light, where the primary ones are red, green and blue (RGB). Adding the primary colours of the world (RYB) results in black, and so do the primary colours in the colour wheel of professional printing (CMYK). On the other hand, adding the primary colours of light results in white – see the middle RGB colour model above. Television and computers use the colours of light, the RGB model. Depending on your conditioning, you use the RYB or RGB model to perceive the complementary colour to red, for example. As you can see in the illustration, it is green in the RYB model and cyan in the RGB model. Most older people use the RYB model, where black, not white, is the total of all the colours in the model. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

However, in the brain, there are equal amounts of red and its complementary colour, which, depending on the colour model you have conditioned yourself to follow, is cyan or green. Combined, they cancel out each other, and neutral grey takes their place, making you feel in harmony. Grey is always the result of combining complementary colours, as illustrated in the image with the square colours.

Read about the different colour models in the picture’s caption with round colours. The info about colours is based on Alexius’s research when he wrote a book about colour theory for a marketing school many years ago.

Inclusiveness is the bliss of nothing

Updated May 21, 2023

It is best to acknowledge both the good and evil parts of one’s personality because they cancel out each other when they meet. Hence it is impossible to be someone definitive. You achieve the same by fully including evil because then there is nothing left to define it, Thus no evil to define goodness.  Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

Once upon a time, Alexius assumed that if he justified feeling annoyed with the world, his irritation would be replaced by relaxation. But it was stressful to always look for something outside him to blame for the discomfort inside him. So the result was not relaxation.

Fortunately, he recognised that if he included irritation by being it to such an extent that he was nothing but that, there was not something to contrast it, wherefore, it could not be categorised, thus, not experienced as a specific feeling. And since relaxation is defined by irritation, both feelings turned into nothing. In short, he saw that the meaning of opposing elements is cancelled out when one of them is fully included. So, since he was neither definable as irritable nor relaxed, he forgot to see himself as someone separated from others. Hence he entered a state of not-knowing.

However, let us go back and elaborate on being fully inclusive. It does not mean you laboriously have to ensure every bit of irritation is included, but there is a willingness to be nothing but that. In other words, it is not about perfection but willingness. Should the latter be lukewarm, you are still fully inclusive if you are willing to include reluctance.

Inclusiveness has nothing to do with acceptance or forgiveness because inclusion leaves nothing to accept or forgive. Nor does it have anything to do with embracing or owning your feelings, as that enhances the belief in being someone definitive, thus separated, instead of undoing it. Inclusion is the absence of separation, which is the bliss of nothing.

Thus you enter a state of not-knowing with glimpses of the Enlightenment of that which is One in the form of ethereal light, celestial music, intangible sensibility or taste. Please read more about that in The four aspects of Enlightenment and how to sample them.


The the bliss of nothing is not the same as the Enlightenment of that which is One because it takes more than one to be blissful. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

When the internet is down, the thoughts about what is possible to accomplish in cyberspace fade out – so does the image of what you appear to be there.

It is a bit similar to a state of not-knowing. You fail to notice thoughts that seem to manifest you as separate from others. Therefore, since there is nobody to attribute an experience with a specific meaning, you are in the bliss of nothing.

But there is not someone to know that before a state of not-knowing is over, and you return to the conscious experience of being someone with sweet memories of the bliss that comes from not believing to be someone.

By not excluding but fully including your feeling of worthlessness, you are nothing but that. Therefore, you cannot be defined since there is no contrast to define your worthlessness. Hence you are in a state of not-knowing, which is pure bliss. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

Being in a state of not-knowing does not mean you do not appear to be someone separated from others, but since the belief in being someone momentarily is undone, nobody cares about it. Hence thoughts and feelings are not considered tools for manifesting you as someone definitive but simply for navigating the world. For example, pain may prevent you from walking on a broken leg, and fear stops you from stepping out in front of a car.

In this context, pain does not cause suffering. Neither does fear scare you because when you do not use thoughts and feelings to establish yourself as someone definitive, they are not experienced to result in anything specific. In other words, when not used for something personal, thoughts and feelings do not appear to affect you or the world experienced outside of you, nor do they seem to have been caused by you or anything else.

Trying to understand inclusiveness and categorise when, why or how long you are in a state of not-knowing, before you return to the conscious experience of being someone defined time and space, complicate things. To be inclusive is simply to not be exclusive. Since the result is a state of not-knowing, you will not get there through understanding.

Since the experience of you as someone substantial in a tangible world defined by time and space is a construction of thoughts, it falls apart when inclusion undoes the perceived separation of thoughts into elements with different meanings. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

But as soon as thoughts and feelings are used to achieve something specific, such as unconditional love, you are out of a state of not knowing. Thus no longer in the bliss of nothing but the misery of something specific.

Neither will the bliss of nothing last if you remain in that state for more than 20 minutes, 45 at most, because without the constant acknowledgement of separation, the Enlightenment of that which is One set in. It erases the awareness of something as well as nothing.

Simply put, as long as you want to appear as someone in a world defined by time and space, you cannot stay too long at a time in a state of not-knowing. If you do that, the Enlightenment of that which is One set in, and it erases every memory of being someone in a world defined by time and space. But fortunately, the after-effect of just a split second in a state of not-knowing can last for years. Thus you can enjoy the belief in a world defined by time and space while gently having it undone. That is the purpose of Duality Hack #4 Inclusiveness frees you from duality. So read on if you would like to enjoy your favourite aspects of being someone definitive while slowly but surely including them, thus, again and again, entering a state of not-knowing. Read more about that state in A state of not-knowing and the after-effect.

Multitasking or defocusing facilitates a state of not-knowing. But this state can also arise from being deeply involved in something when it is not carried out per a special philosophy or an attempt to escape the present. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

If the boxes in Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings disturb you from being focused and centred, they fulfill the purpose. To be in a state of not-knowing, you must forget about being centred, balanced and focused because those concepts are deeply founded in labelling experiences, thus separating them.

Fortunately multitasking takes care of that. It distracts the brain from focusing so that it becomes difficult to categorise an experience as different from another. Applying The taste of Oneness as desribe in The four aspects of Enlightenment and how to sample them helps you defocus. That said, this is meant to be applied for undoing the belief in being someone definitive, not for driving a car, for example.

Peace vs excitement

Updated May 21, 2023

We make a personality that seems to make others comfortable so they do not notice we grab as much as possible for as little as possible at their expense. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

In a world defined by time and space, it is not about what you are but how exciting you appear. The more special you look on social media, the more you get likes and followers. However, to keep your followers, you must constantly invent new ways to look more exciting than others.

But no matter what you achieve, there is always the risk that somebody will take it from you like you probably ripped it from somebody to get more attention. There is no way to survive without physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically taking something from somebody else – for example, food, a point of view, love, money or power – if you want to remain as someone substantial in a tangible world.

Therefore, when shopping, you want to get as much as possible for as little as possible. For the shop, it is the other way around. It tries to provide you with as little as possible for as much as possible within the law. And you work to get as much money as possible for as little effort as possible, whereas your boss tries to give you less and makes you work harder to profit from you.

The strongest, mentally or physically, takes the most, resulting in others getting less, maybe nothing. But whether rich or poor, everybody knows it is how the world is. Consequently, you always fear others will take what you have grabbed from them.

In the civilised world, taking from others has been organised, so you do not have to feel guilty about taking more than you need or be afraid somebody will take what you lawfully have taken. The legal means for taking from others within the civilised system is money. So the more you have, the more you can take from others, thus being respected as successful by those believing it is about getting as much as possible for as little as possible at anybody’s expense.

But even though taking from others has been organised so you can do it and look like a civilised person in a civilised world, you must continuously defend yourself. Otherwise, someone smarter or stronger takes what you have grabbed from others. You cannot escape this because as long as you appear to be someone in a world where there seems to be more than one, you constantly need more to survive. Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings have no solutions for not feeling guilty about that or making the world a better place where everybody share everything with everyone because they are about undoing the belief in more than one.

However, until that is done, it is beneficial to perceive getting more as a symbol of oneness because it is the doorstep to that which is One.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

If you are civilised, you pay for what you take – at least when there is no other way to do it without being exposed as a thief. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

It is a cherished idea that people are victims of the rich, and their wealth, which they have gotten from profiting from others, should be distributed amongst others so all can be equal. But everybody is already the same in the sense that they share the greed to get as much as possible for as little as possible. In that context, there is no difference between those with much and those without, except that the rich are more talented at exploiting others than the poor.

To get more is the lowest common factor for everybody who believes in a world where there seems to be more than one. The capitalists are straightforward about the desire for more money and power. But the socialists hide it behind do-gooder talk about more money and power for the people. Those who claim to be spiritual may not desire more money and power. However, they still have the passion for more, namely more love, peace and purity.

We all want more. That is how to uphold the belief in a world where there seems to be more than one. By acknowledging that, we recognise we have chosen to believe there is more than One. Hence we can undo it when we realise more do not feel better,

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Since it requires more than one to describe something, oneness cannot be described, and since oneness is formless and thus endless, anything describable is an illusion. Hence the descriptions in Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings should not be taken literally. Nor should they be taken as pointers to oneness because it requires more than one to point to something.

In this context, Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings point toward the illusion of experiencing, realising or understanding something because it requires more than one to be conscious of anything.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Since you believe to be and have more than that which is one, you are more than enough to undo that belief. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen. 

You may blame the world for not getting enough. But the world is not the reason. It is the belief that it is possible to be and have more than that which is One. You have chosen to believe that. And you will not make a new choice as long as you hope for a better future triggered by an exceptional person, the latest gadget, or a transformation into something higher.

But when you realise it is an endless quest for more, where you never get enough, you are ready for the peace of that which is oneness. However, you cannot choose it because that requires more than one. But you can decide not to look for excitement. And without it, there is peace.

The above is not meant to make you feel guilty about wanting more (or less). But you can be faithful to the belief in more while having it undone if you perceive becoming and having more as a symbol of that which is one. The more you do that, the more the need for more fades out.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

It is impossible to profit from reality. It is that which is One, and it takes more than one to benefit from something. Therefore, since you can only profit from illusions, you do not get more free and self-assured when spending money on new-age courses. Fortunately, Alexius’ Duality Hacks are free, and when you apply them, there is no need for freedom and self-assurance because you become indifferent to being someone.

A world where there seems to be more than one is a hallucination because oneness is formless, thus endless. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

Duality Hack #3 Seeing duality as a symbol of non-duality is about how a world where there seems to be more than one appears to hide that which is One. However, it is impossible to hide oneness since it is formless, thus endless. Therefore, since seeing more than one is a fata morgana, it is the belief that it is substantial, hence authentic, which seems to hide there is no more than the formlessness of oneness.

But like children prefer to suppress Santa Claus is fake to feel excited about his presents, most choose to believe the weird story of a world where there seems to be more than one to feel the excitement of endless possibilities. Having so many choices sounds more inspiring than oneness, where there is nothing to choose since that requires more than one. But when you realise that endless options lead nowhere but to confusion, you appreciate the peace of having nothing to desire.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

In a world where there seems to be more than one, peace is the absence of war. But in oneness, peace is not the absence of something because there is no more than that which is One. That is why there is peace.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Excitement is based on the idea that there must be something larger, better, faster, wilder, deeper or purer. Therefore, you never feel at peace since you always look for more.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Although excitement always is ignited by something that has an end, you expect it to result in something everlasting. When you accept it never happens, you are ready to do without excitement, thus having the peace of oneness, which is endless because it takes more than one to be disturbed.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Perhaps you are a fool running after more. But you are not stupid, so when you realise that more is never enough and whatever you get more of entails more suffering, you will automatically correct the belief that it is possible to be and have more than that which is One.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

A world where there seems to be more than one is all about the excitement of imagining what the future will bring. Hence is pretty dull believing to be in a world where there seems to be more than one when there is nothing to hope for. But fortunately, the more bored you are, the more you welcome that which is One. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

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

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Excitement is always about attaining something specific in the future, such as someone you secretly admire. Should it happen, you suppress getting what you dreamt about did not bring peace. To hide your frustration, you start to imagine how exciting it will be to have babies.

But excitement about the future excludes peace. There is no peace in the future because It is one perpetual present, thus without excitement for something to come later.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Even though this image is flat and basically is made up of repeating lines, you may choose to experience the illusion of a person in the distance, as this appeal to your desire for excitement.

This image is flat, and Mona Lis is not behind the repeating lines. Yet you may choose to see her hidden in the distance if it appeals to your longing for mystery and excitement. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

How come so many people like to watch a movie? Maybe because they want to experience something more exciting.

How come some like to watch porn? Perhaps because it seems more exciting.

How come most look forward to a holiday? Probably they imagine it will be more exciting.

On holiday you can attend special events fabricated to improve the feeling of pleasure, so you have an experience out of the ordinary. A movie – porn or not – is produced with the same purpose: to entertain and give you an extraordinary experience.

But the experiences of your everyday life are also produced to entertain you. For example, even though what you see, according to science, is nothing but empty space, the brain renders it in 3D to excite you. See, The closer you look, the less you believe it is real. Compared to this, oneness appears pretty ordinary. It is non-dimensional and timeless. Hence there is nothing to look forward to, thus not something to get excited about. On the other hand, that is why it is so peaceful.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Every time you do something to eliminate feeling inferior, you are reminded why you do it, namely, because you feel inadequate. Hence that feeling is enhanced the more you try to stop it. And since the belief in separation is why you feel inferior, this belief gets more robust. Consequently, the peace of oneness seems far away.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

If enthusiasm is perceived as a symbol of oneness, the excitement of something that appears to differ from something else will not enhance the belief in more than one but undo it. Photo © Alexius Jorgen

This article is not meant to stop you from being excited. Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings is not about controlling or avoiding something but undoing the belief that there is something.

The undoing of this belief occurs automatically when you apply one or more of Alexius’ Duality Hacks. For example, suppose you perceive your experiences as a symbol of that which makes it possible to experience them, namely that which is One. In that case, they all become the same, thus equally exciting, wherefore undoing the belief that there is something to be excited about is exciting.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Questions and uncertainty arise from not being at peace, which comes from believing to be someone definitive living in a capsule of time and space instead of nobody in the formlessness of oneness, thus having no questions and therefore at peace.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

You must believe to be someone definitive to get excited in a world defined by time and space because otherwise, you cannot get the excitement from 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.

Perceiving everything as a symbol of oneness

Updated May 20, 2023

Most will know, that what you see in this image is not a man and a woman, but symbols of man and woman. Most also know, that the color or the look of the symbols in no way resembles actual men and woman. Unfortunately very few know, that all what they seem to experience in the world of duality is not real, but symbols of that which is, although the symbols in no way resembles that which is life.

What you see in this image is not a man and a woman but their symbols. Their colour or look does not resemble actual men and women. That is common knowledge. However, very few know that none of their experiences is real but symbols of that which is, namely oneness, although they do not resemble it. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

Everybody knows that the letters w + a + t + e + r will not quench their thirst. However, that is not something they have to think about because, due to past experiences with water, they know the letters are just a symbol of it – likewise, when you know there is no more than that which is One, the experience of a world where there seems to be more than one is not perceived as real but a symbol of oneness.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Anxiety is related to the wish for more. First, you are worried about not getting it. Second, when you achieve it, you fear losing it. However, if everything is perceived as a symbol of that which is One, you always have enough. That does not mean you cannot look forward to seeing your children, for example. But it means you are not attached to a specific outcome because anyone symbolises oneness.

Should you be attached to a specific outcome, it is not a problem because attachment is also a symbol of that which is One. Whatever you think, feel or do or not think, feel or do are symbols of it.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

You are always protected when you see everything in the world as symbols of oneness because it takes more than one to be attacked.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

The humidity that appears to be in this image cannot damage your electronic device because the picture is a simulation. Likewise, nothing in a world where there seems to be more than one can hurt that which is you because it is that which is One, and it takes more than one to suffer. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

How to escape the illusion of more than One? That is like asking how to escape the world in a computer game. There is nothing to leave because you are not there.

In other words, there is nothing to escape other than believing there is more than One. A way to do that is to see everything in a world where there seems to be more than one as a symbol of that which is One.

You cannot go wrong doing that. Whether you love or hate someone, the difference does not make a difference when you perceive every experience as a symbol of oneness. And should you not do it entirely but suppress specific experiences, you are still on track because denial is also a symbol of oneness.

The more everything in a world where there seems to be more than one is seen as a symbol of that which is One, the more you feel free. Thus, eventually, you do not feel limited by such a world. Thus you forget it.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

You cannot choose to undo the belief in a world where there seems to be more than one because that confirms there is more than one. But fortunately, there is nothing to choose when you do not interpret your experiences as real but as symbols of that which is real namely oneness.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Perceiving everything as a symbol of that which is One will not change the world. But since all its appearances symbolise the same, their apparent difference makes no difference. Hence, believing in a world where there seems to be more than one makes no sense, thus falling apart. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

Since a world where there seems to be more than one, according to Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings, is make-believe, so is that statement. Nevertheless, you cannot appear in such a world without believing in something, so you choose what to believe.

Suppose it makes you feel good believing that a world where there seems to be more than one is an illusion. In that case, you can perceive everything as a symbol of oneness. Therefore, since nothing seems to make a difference, separation does not appear to hide reality is which is One – not in the sense that you see oneness but that, eventually, you are not aware of anything, wherefore you are what you always were and will be, namely that which is One.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Oneness is formless, thus endless. That is why it cannot comprehend that you believe in seeing more than One, thus not knowing the suffering this belief entails and that you try to solve it by becoming and having more. However, you do not solve your desire for more by being or getting more. All you need to undo the belief in more is to change the purpose of your appearance in a world where there seems to be more than one. If it is to see everything as a symbol of oneness, differences make no difference. Thus it does not matter whether you get more.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Since life is formless, thus without a beginning and end, everything definable is lifeless. Therefore, you are not alive if you believe in being someone definitive. Nevertheless, you symbolise the formlessness of life because, without it, you could not experience being someone definitive.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

There is no more than that which is One since it is formless, thus endless. That is why you must always talk with yourself to uphold the belief in being someone in a world where there seems to be more than one. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

What you believe in hearing, seeing, feeling, and smelling is a construction of thoughts the brain builds based on what it imagines to receive from the sensory organs in the body where it pictures itself. But to make its fantasy appear as something real experienced externally, the brain needs you to interact with it constantly. If not, you do not appear to be someone substantial in a tangible world.

But this does not mean you need not stop thoughts to undo the brain’s fantasy. All you need is to change the purpose of following them so it does not confirm the brain’s fantasy but reality. So if you perceive thoughts as symbols of that which makes it possible to experience them, namely oneness, your talking does not establish you as someone in the brain’s fantasy but as a symbol of oneness.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings are like fairy tales you read for stray kids to shed some light on what and where they are so they can find their way home. However, the path is not definable and cannot be followed since your home is oneness, and it takes more than one to pursue something.

Fortunately, there is no need to find a way to oneness because it is formless, thus endless, so you cannot be anywhere but there. Thus it is only your belief in being somewhere else that needs to be undone – for example, by perceiving where you appear to be as a symbol of oneness. Then the belief in being there fades out.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

static_film-projector

Nobody expects a movie projector to be in the world it projects on a screen because neither that nor anything else physical can be part of a virtual world. Likewise, oneness is not in a world where there seems to be more than one. But since oneness is endless, it is the reason you can experience more than one, That is why everything in a world where there seems to be more than one symbolises that which is One. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

You can compare a world defined by time and space to a movie projected on a screen and the formlessness of oneness to the projector. The movie projector is not in the projected film, nor how you perceive it, And neither the projected nor the perception of it is in the projector. It is indifferent to both because they are not real.

Anything can seem real in an illusion. It is a matter of believe.

When perceiving everything as a symbol of what makes it possible to experience something, it does not matter how it appears. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

In the context of this metaphor, the fantasy of a world defined by time and space is projected on a flat screen by oneness. However, it does not know that you believe to be someone in its projection. Nor does it know that you want to be there because you prefer the excitement of more than one over the peace of that which is One. Oneness is also unaware that you believe in being someone with a beginning and end. It does not know of separation but sees the reel with the movie as a whole, wherefore everything happens simultaneously. See What time is it!?

So if you are not identified with the projected movie but with what is projecting it, nothing changes when the movie is over because the projector is still there, as it was when it appeared to cast a film of a world defined by time and space. One way of not identifying with the movie is to perceive it as a symbol of that which generates it, namely the projector.

This picture shows where an analogue movie in a cinema comes from. And as you can see, it has nothing to do with the world that appears on the screen. Also, it is much smaller than the world experienced on the screen. The same applies to that which is One. It is so much smaller than a world where there seems to be more than one. Actually, sit is so tiny that it cannot be seen. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

Some may respond to the above movie metaphor by asking, »Who has put the film in the projector?« believing the question proves the movie is real.

Thoughts does not prove anything.

But nothing proves a world defined by time and space is real. There are foolish explanations about an almighty god, an explosion of nothing coming out of a black hole as something, ‘I think therefore I am,’ or naive beliefs like ‘I exist because I can feel pain when I pitch the body.’ The latter would be the same as saying, I am the coat I wear because I can feel something when I touch it. But you are not your coat or body, nor soul or consciousness. That is why you say my coat, body, soul and consciousness.

You are not anything at all because it takes more than one to be something, and there is no more than that which is One.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Since there is nothing real in a world with more than one, Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings are also unreal. But since it feels good to perceive everything in such a world as symbols of oneness, and since it does not matter what you do when perceived as a symbol of that which is One, why not apply Duality Hack #3 Seeing duality as a symbol of non-duality. Besides, if you do that, the belief in seeing more than one is undone while having fun experiencing more than one.

From non-duality to duality and back

Updated June 21, 2023

It is impossible to get something from the bottles in this image because they are simulated. The same applies to a world where there seems to be more than one. It is forged because there is no more than that which is One since it is formless, thus endless. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

THAT WHICH IS ONE
… is endless because it is formless, thus sizeless, taking up no space.

Schräge Parallelen

Nothing in a world where there seems to be more than one is what is seems. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

Since there is no more than that which is One, you have tricked yourself into seeing a world where there seems to be more than one. You probably also have tricked yourself into seeing the red lines in this image as crocked, even though all lines are straight, and it is the blue boxes that are offset.

WHAT IF THAT WHICH IS ONE …
… could be divided into more than one? It is impossible. Firstly, because it is formless, secondly, it takes more than one to divide it. Thirdly, its speed is infinitely fast, so there is no time and space to differentiate anything, thus nothing to see. However, in fantasy, everything seems possible. So if you imagine cutting down oneness’ speed until it is so slow that there appear to be separated appearances in the distance, you have a world where there seems to be more than one.

The still photo of Scarlett Johansson in ‘Lucy’ is grabbed from the internet.

In the movie Lucy, the director demonstrates, via Scarlett Johansson, that if you speed up time infinitely, any object in motion disappears – or in the context of this article, becomes one. Concerning a world where there seems to be more than one, it is the other way around. Oneness has been slowed down until it seems to contain different objects. Read more about that here.

One of these separated appearances is perceived as you. But you and everything else are as flat as this article’s images because formlessness has no dimensions. However, in your fantasy about more than one, you have eyes that function like AR (augmented reality) glasses. They modify reality and build a virtual layer on top of it, so it appears to get smaller and bigger when you look at oneness from different angles and distances.

Graphic by Clive Gifford.The book ‘Eye Benders: The Science of Seeing and Believing’ written by Clive Gifford explains, the brain sees movements that do not exist, and it also fabricates images to fill what it perceives as gaps in the world. Read more about that here.

Therefore, since it seems to exist in time and space, you conclude you are someone substantial in a tangible world where there is more than one, thus many possibilities. Read more about the illusion of seeing in Eyes do not see.

You probably experience, that you see two differently sized orange circles in this pic, because that is what the part of the brain, that measures perspective and scale, will tell you. Due to the blue circles it appear as they are not the same size. But you are wrong. Each orange circle is the same size. You are also wrong, if you think persons are different, and that they are in a world of duality. It is an illusion. Everything is sizeless.

You probably experience two differently-sized orange circles in this image. But that is an illusion created with the blue circles. The two orange circles are the same size. You are also deceived if you experience a world of different-sized objects because reality is formless. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

When writing this, Pokémon Go was the most well-known example of AR. However, many people live in augmented reality, not only when playing Pokémon Go. They look at their smartphone, where a layer of digital info flows on top of the physical world, while they hear music from cyberspace in one ear and listen to friends from the physical world in the other ear.

Integtating the body with an imagined god or superworld has been a longtime human fantasy. Imaginative fiction, transcendental meditation, aura-transformation and psychoactive drugs can be seen as early efforts to trick you into assuming, the body can be integrated with something immaterial. VR (virtual reality), as envisioned by Oculus Rift, may be able to fool you into beliving such a blend is real.

THAT WHICH IS ONE IS REPLACED BY MORE THAN ONE
As mentioned above, imagining seeing a world where there seems to be more than one is like using AR (augmented reality) to mix real and unreal. But to completely erase traces of reality, AR is replaced by VR (virtual reality), where an illusion completely replaces reality.

In a virtual world everything seems possible. It feels very exciting, even though it is an illusion and what you get is nothing disguised as something. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

»This (virtual reality) is a state where you are totally transported into another world and immersed in the digital interactions of the virtual environment you’ve entered … the feeling that you are truly visiting another space that is wholly distinct from what you can see and hear without the platform … a platform like Oculus Rift is an alternative to reality, supplying entirely new, virtual experiences: true VR.« From Wired. Oculus had not been bought by Facebook writing this.

But why do we deceive ourselves into seeing a world with more than One? Probably because there is so much to experience in a world where there seems to be more than one. But the excitement comes with a price because everything in such a world – contrary to oneness – comes in pairs. Hence you cannot feel excited without feeling depressed, for example. See Duality Hack #8 The duality flow goes to non-duality.

A person always finds ways to deny or change appearances that are judged wrong so that it seems to have become better. But no matter how happy it makes you feel, its contrast, sadness, cannot be escaped because happiness is defined by it. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

Most assume they can surpass this twofoldness and be in one state of mind by having one spouse, one work and so on. Others recollect memories of oneness. But they are altered by the desire for more than one, so they do not bring one state of mind. Besides, you are either at one or not. And since it requires more than one not to be One, it is impossible unless imagining to be in a world where there seems to be more than one.

But as already said, twofoldness, the interaction of opposing elements, is the reality in such a world. For example, you can only read this article because the black letters are contrasted by their opposite colour. Without contrast, there would be no article to see.

And since you cannot recognise love without hatred, eliminating hate does not result in a singular state of love but an imitation. Therefore, since excluding hate makes you feel phoney, you try to make love purer by excluding selfishness to get unconditional love. But again, what you get is feeling wrong – and on it goes.

You feel incomplete when you avoid twofoldness to establish yourself as someone definitive. But you feel complete if you go with the interaction of opposing elements. Thus, eventually, you have no need to exclude something to become someone definitive in a world where there seems to be more than one to hide the formlessness of oneness.

Believing a world where there seems to be more than one is real is comparable to sitting in a cinema, where you project yourself onto the world on the screen so that it appears to have an effect on you, thus appearing real.

Alexius knows there is nothing to hope for because there is no more than that which is One, and it takes more than one to hope for something. Thus he has nothing to fear. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF THAT WHICH IS ONE UNDOES THE BELIEF IN MORE
One who is to be compared to the Enlightenment of that which is one knows that there is no more than One, wherefore a world where there seems to be more than one is fake. Nobody else knows that. What they believe to know is based on speculations about their existence in a world where there seems to be more than one. Thus it enhances the belief in being there instead of undoing it.

A world where there seems to be more than one can be compared to the movie roll in a cinema. Suddenly it breaks, and there is nothing but bright white light on the screen. Read more about this metaphor here. That is the Enlightenment Alexius is to be compared to. But, unlike in the cinema, it is not something you see because it takes more than one to be aware of something – more about that in Duality Hack #10 The Enlightenment of that which is One.

Whether you experience this image as about love, sex, or surfing depends on how you have conditioned yourself. But whether that makes you happy or sad, it does not seem to make a difference if your response is perceived as a symbol of oneness. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

TO SEE SYMBOLS OF THAT WHICH IS ONE IN THAT WHICH IS NOT ONE
Even though you have been told that a world where there seems to be more than one is an illusion, your conditioned belief in more than one compulsively makes you see more.

Fortunately, you can undo this belief in a laid-back way by perceiving everything you see as symbols of that which is One. Actually, all of Alexius’ Duality Hacks, except the Enlightenment of that which is Oneundo the belief in more than one over time while you have fun experiencing more than one.

That which is one cannot be known in a world where there seems to be more than one – neither anywhere else, as it takes more than one to be conscious of something. So rather than pointing to that which is One, Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings point out that there is no more than that which is one.

Since life is that which is One, there is no life where there is more than one. Hence you are bound to feel that it is meaningless when you try to fit into a world where there seems to be more than one – just like within the context of such a world, it feels meaningless trying to fit into the virtual world of a computer game. It is not possible to be there except in your imagination. However, accepting the game is an illusion, it is fun exploring the fantasy. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

A GAME IS VIRTUAL AND ONLY APPEARS REAL WHEN YOU PLAY IT
A virtual reality game player is often nauseous because the body is tricked into believing it moves in the virtual world. And it is not there but in a chair with your eyes covered by goggles. An app fills it with a simulated world, and per your response, it seems to create feelings in you as if you are in a real world.

If you, in this description, replace the app with the brain, it becomes a description of appearing to be someone in a world where there seems to be more than one, where you always feel a bit off because you are not there. Nevertheless, it is possible to feel good appearing as someone when you know it is an illusion.

That said, there is nothing real in a world where there seems to be more than one, so do not mistake this article for the truth, but merely a suggestion to take off the goggles simulating a world that is not there. Of course, this is a metaphor. That which is One is not covered by a simulated world but by the belief that there is more than that which is One.

THAT WHICH IS ONE IS ONE
When you return to oneness, it is as if there has never been more than one, which is the case because you never left it. That is impossible since there is no more than that which is One.


NOTES:

Pretending is a way to reality

Updated April 6, 2023

If you believe you are someone definitive in a world defined by time and space, you can undo this belief by pretending to be there because where you pretend to be, you are not. However, unconsciously, everybody is already doing it.

SAMPLES OF UNCONSCIOUSLY PRETENDING TO BE SOMEONE DEFINITIVE
When you look at a new home, you may picture what kind of people used to live there and imagine what type of person you could be if you moved in.

At work, you may pretend to be someone who fits into the environment socially and professionally. But when not at work, you probably pretend to be your own. And going to the disco, you most likely appear as a party-goer.

If your kids are worried, you pretend everything is fine. And if they are naughty, you pretend something terrible will happen.

Being attracted by the look or the vibe of someone, you pretend the other one has a personality that matches yours or that you are soulmates.

Making a pass on someone, you adjust your behaviour per what you believe will turn the other on so you can pretend to be that person.

While you read this, you may imagine what kind of person you should pretend to be if using or rejecting Alexius’ Duality Hacks.

Since pretending to be someone is something everybody already does but have forgot, Duality Hack #2 Pretending to be twofold undoes duality is about being aware of it.

You quickly learn what to pretend to remain a successful musician. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

A SAMPLE OF CONSCIOUS PRETENDING …
… that you probably already know. You have sex with your spouse, but only your body is there. You fantasise about being with somebody else while you pretend to be with your spouse.

APPEARING TO BE SOMEONE DEFINITIVE IS FUN WHEN YOU KNOW IT IS PRETENCE
In the above encounters, you might be aware you pretend to be what you are not. But you are probably unaware everything is pretence. However, if you are aware of it, you know what and where you appear to be is as fictional as role-play. Thus pretending to be someone in the fantasy of a world defined by time and space is as entertaining as being in roleplay or watching a movie.

In other words, when you know the world is virtual, you are aware that the energetic people in an advertisement, the glamourous rockstar on the stage, or the beautiful people on social media are pretending to be something they are not. Thus, you do not look for authenticity but have fun pretending to be someone. And since you already are familiar with doing that – think about when you are on a dating site or social media, playing a game or an air guitar – it is easy.

Nevertheless, some think pretending is wrong, and they should stop acting and find their real self to express that.

First of all: What you really are is that which is One, and since it is formless, there is nothing to express. Secondly, the formlessness of oneness cannot be found in a world defined by time and space, nor can anything else. Formlessness is endless, so there is no world defined by time and space.

Within the context of such a world, you cannot be in the fantasy world of a video game, a movie, a book or a dream, but you can pretend to be there. It is neither bad nor good but a tool to have fun. But whether you believe or pretend to be in the world of a book, it takes the same course – likewise, regarding a world defined by time and space. The difference between believing and pretending is that the latter makes you feel entertained regardless of the outcome.

APPENDIX
It requires much control to uphold the belief that you are someone in a capsule of time and space. If you are fed up with that, you pretend to be someone, which is fun because it requires no self-restraint. Besides, what you pretend to be, you are not. So the more you pretend to be someone, the less there is someone to hide, there never was or will be more than that which is One.

Pretending to be someone is a relief

Updated August 4, 2023

On vacation in a foreign country, you pretend to be a tourist exploring a new world. Likewise, what you appear to be in a world defined by time and space is not that which is you but something you pretend to be. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

When an electric bulb breaks down, it cannot illuminate something. So if the bulb was identified with that, its life is over. But if the bulb did not believe but pretended to be an entity illuminating something, life goes on because you are not what you pretend to be. Thus it remains the power that made it possible to pretend to be someone lighting up something, namely electricity. Read more about electricity as a metaphor for life here.

Likewise, you do not last if believing in a world of duality because everything has an end in such a world. But, on the other hand, if you pretend to be there, it is only what you pretend to be that ends, like in roleplay.

However, you must be familiar with pretending before your role ends. Otherwise, you will hang onto the role when you sense it is about to finish.

So, in the context of the above metaphor, when a bulb cannot illuminate something anymore, it is as if life is over if it was identified as a bulb. But if it has acknowledged that it is not what it appears to be but what makes it possible to pretend it, nothing real ends when the bulb finishes pretending to be what it is not since the electricity that made it possible remains.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Although electricity makes it possible to experience this article on electronic media, it is not in the article. Likewise, there is no life in a world defined by time and space, although life makes it possible to experience such a world.

Whether you perceive yourself as mundane or spiritual, you cannot return to non-duality because it has no room for something specific. But if you pretend to be ordinary or spiritual, you do not need to return to non-dualitybecause what you pretend to be, you are not.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

When the body stops functioning, you fall apart as someone definitive. And if you do not fight it, what you believe in being is exposed as nothing. Hence there does not appear to be something hiding, there never was or will be anything but the formlessness of oneness. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

What you appear to think, feel, and act when you believe in being someone is the same as when you pretend it, except politically incorrect feelings are not suppressed. That is because when your feelings are pretence, they do not seem dangerous.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

When you do not believe in being in a world of duality, it is seen as a comedy in which you have fun pretending to be dual.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Like the recording on a protected compact disc cannot be extended, oneness cannot be expanded into more than one. Not because oneness is protected but because it is formless, thus endless, so there is no more than that which is One.

That is why you deceive yourself when you believe in a world where there seems to be more than one. Fortunately, your mistake is easily corrected if you pretend to be there because where you pretend to be, you are not.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Nobody in a computer game can touch you, regardless of how good the graphics are. So if you feel affected by a game, it happens within you. Forgetting this, the fastest way to return to reality is to turn off the game. But what is perceived as real is as virtual as a computer game. The experience of being someone, whether mundane or spiritual, is make-believe. If it scares you to turn off that belief, you can do it while you enjoy it by pretending to be someone because what you pretend to be, you are not.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Scientists have not discovered the origin of the world because there is none. It does not exist. That is why they cannot find dark matter, which they claim is the missing link in proving the world’s existence. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

Interaction is the name of the game if a virtual world is to appear authentic. But communication is founded on what you imagine others think. Hence you interact with a fantasy made by you, and since what you believe in being is based on this, you are a fantasy as well. In other words, what you appear to be is make-believe.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

You stopped believing in the magic of Santa Claus when you grew up, but still think you are someone in a world defined by time and space, although it does not make you feel fabulous. Fortunately, not believing but pretending to be someone there feels as wondrous as when you get presents from Santa.

Having fun pretending to be what you are not, there is no need to be confirmed by others as genuine. Thus you can enjoy all the spectacular illusions of a world defined by time and space.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

The belief that you are someone definitive who experiences something specific seems to hide that there is nothing but the formlessness of oneness. However, this belief corrects itself the more you pretend to be someone definitive because that confirms you are nobody.

Fortunately, this is already so. What you appear to be is empty space. That is why nothing about your appearance in a world defined by time and space needs to be changed or transformed. On the contrary, changes enhance the belief that you are someone definitive.

Thus undoing this belief is not about opening up or surrendering to a higher power but being nobody, which you already are, and you confirm by pretending to be somebody because what you pretend to be, you are not.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

That which is casting a shadow is not in the shadow. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

Metaphorically, the universe is a shadow of oneness. But since a shadow cannot give you anything, what you believe in getting from the world is imagined. So why not accept that and have fun being what you are not, namely someone in a shadow world? You have nothing to lose because it is make-believe.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

In a virtual world, you cannot realise what is real. But you can realise being there is unreal, thus a pretence.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

If you revolt against your parents, the perception of yourself is founded on how you judge them. Therefore, since you become an anti-version of them, you and your parents are two sides of the same coin. The same applies to being detached from the world. Again, it is based on what you avoid.

In other words, you remain part of what you reject. But not if it is something you pretend because what you pretend to be, you are not.

»When I was little, I thought the moon was following me when I was in the car.« From teenager Post #11156 (from the internet):

As a grown-up, we know the above experience is incorrect. Thus we automatically correct it and similar ones, like a street getting narrower at the end or the world looking flat. However, we cannot navigate the world if we have not become accustomed to fixing these deceptive experiences.

But in the above teenage post, another experience needs to be corrected. There is no ‘I’ which sees something. It is an experience constructed by the brain to make you feel that what you believe in being is real. Fortunately, this is corrected the more you pretend to be someone.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Pretending to be a child when you are grown up is much more fun than believing to be one.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

You can have as many friends as you want because having them or not is something you pretend.

Should your diet not go as planned, and you feel frustrated, you can solve it by pretending to be someone with a problem. Since what you pretend to have, you are without, there is no problem.

Not believing but pretending to be someone, your conditioned behaviour for how to react falls apart. Thus you are free to enjoy the moment as it is instead of compulsively shaping your perception of it per your belief.

If there is somebody you dislike, you can remind yourself it is something you pretend to do. Should you feel it is wrong to complain, you also remind yourself it is a pretence. Hence it does not feel flawed but good to judge others.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

When you meet someone you are attracted to, analysing the perceived external interaction is common to set up a personality the other person will love. But since most fear the other one will see through their masquerade, they build something into their new character they reckon the other one cannot live without, wherefore the relationship is built on dependency.  Fortunately, this self-made prison is easy to escape. All you need is to acknowledge that your new personality is pretence.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

What you pretend to do often depends on what you imagine others expect and what is in it for you.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

As long as you do not try to conceal specific feelings to preserve your appearance as someone definitive, no feelings seem to have the power to hide, it is fun pretending to be someone specific because what you pretend to be, you are not.

You can compare linear time to the square pixels that makes up one dot on a computer screen being separated from each other and extended into a lines forming a spiral.

You can compare linear time to the square pixels that make up one round dot on a computer screen. When the square pixels are separated from each other and extended into a line forming a spiral, it seems the round dot is no longer one perpetual present but a linear timeline. Fortunately, separating the square pixels making up the round dot is impossible because one perpetual present is inseparable. Thus it is not a matter of returning to oneness but stopping seeing the past, now and future as real. Consequently, linear time does not seem to conceal one perpetual present. One way to do this is to pretend to see the past, now and future because what you pretend to see is not real. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

That which is One can be compared to a dot on a computer screen, where there is nothing but that. The dot consists of innumerable amounts of square pixels so tightly together that they cannot be differentiated. Thus they look like one point.

But if you extend this point by spreading out its small pixels in a continuous line, they can be differentiated, thus perceived as separated appearances in space. The experience of time you get by making the line curved, like a spiral, so that from any point, it looks like there is an unknown future behind the next curve and a forgotten past behind the last one. Read more about that in Non-duality is non-dimensional.

But since there is no separation in oneness, extending it into a world where there seems to be more than one is impossible. However, when you believe in separation, it seems to take time to discover that a world where there seems to be more than one is a fantasy that covers oneness. Fortunately, you can speed up this discovery by pretending to be a separate being because what you pretend to be is not real. In this way, the belief in being separate is undone while having fun appearing to be that.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Being someone definitive is like Karaoke. For example, being a mother or father is based on replicating collectively agreed-on ideas of how to be a family.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

When you have nothing to live up to, you are free to pretend to be someone who lives up to the world’s expectations.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

You cannot pretend to be that which is One because it is formless. But you can pretend to be someone definitive. Hence, you are nothing because what you pretend to be is not, so you do not appear to hide the formlessness of oneness.

Duality is a simulated reality

Updated July 11, 2023

simulated_universe_1372282700_600x275

There is not anything real or unreal because non-duality is that which is One, and it takes more than one to be real or anything else. The image is grabbed from the movie The Thirteenth Floor.

A world of duality is a simulated reality layered on top of non-duality to hide there is no more than non-duality since it is formless, thus endless. However, an illusion cannot hide anything. Hence it is the belief that you are someone definitive in a world of duality that appears to conceal the formlessness of non-duality.

Eyes do not see. It is the brain, that fabricate the images, you believe to ‘see.’ Actually, the brain can produce perfect images of the world with your eyes closed. The brain cheats you. But it is only possible because you want it. Read more about that here.

The belief seems to establish duality as authentic when divided into real and unreal. But in an illusion, everything is artificial. The light from the sun and a bulb are equally fake, and a flower blossoming is not more genuine than a plastic flower. Whether love is perceived as pure, it is unreal, likewise loss, abundance, ego, mind, soul, consciousness, truth, god, angels, spiritual beings or astral planes. Not even non-duality is real because it is that which is One, and it takes more than one to be something.

Wavelengthsof lightcan be comparedto binary data,that is accumulatingthe simulation,of the webpage,you seem to seeon your screen now.Wavelengths haveno form, coloror depth of filed,as it seemsin this pic simulatingwavelengthsand binary data.

Wavelengths of light can be compared to the binary data, that accumulate the simulation of the webpage, you assume to see on your screen right now with words, seeming to form a meaning, and images with colours, that appear to reflect the world where you believe to be. But binary data or wavelengths do not have the form, colours or depth of field, that you believe to experience on this page. And they do not know, they are twisted in such a way, that you think there is a dimensional world with lots of different appearances in this image.

The colourful and dimensional world we believe to see now is an illusion because all wavelengths of light hitting our retina are colourless and formless, and the motion of the image we believe to see has been extrapolated by the brain, so that the time delay in processing the data does not interfere with the events we perceive to happen now.

You are not seeing,what you seem to see.It is an illusion.

What you believe to see is not there. It is a mirage fabricated by thoughts that also are unreal since reality is that which is One, and it takes more than one to have thoughts.

TO KNOW IS TO BELIEVE IN DUALITY
Even within the phoney reality of duality, this page you believe to see on electronic media is an illusion. It is not in your media. An app has translated HTML code on servers far from you into something recognisable. In other words, what you think you see here is layered on code far from you. If your web browser had not rewritten it, you would not see this article about simulated reality.

The digital photos you believe to see are layered on top of digital info that no human would perceive as an image of the world. A data converter has fabricated a layer on top of the digital information that the brain renders into a simulation of the world where you believe in being. However, Alexius is not that technically minded, so he cannot tell precisely how it works – nor how the world of duality seems to work as a layer on top of non-duality.

Actually, metaphorically speaking, you are closer to that which is real, namely, non-duality, if you do not understand how duality works because it does not work. How can it work when there is nothing but non-duality? It is impossible and thus not understandable.


The foolish one cannot separate right from wrong because everything definable is perceived as a symbol of non-duality. Hence their apparent difference makes no difference. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

Wise one can separate good and bad
Foolish one does not separate

Wise one knows the way to self
Foolish one has no self to know

Wise one knows the truth
Foolish one knows nothing

Foolish one is enlightened
Wise one is not

NOT-KNOWING IS THE UNDOING OF DUALITY
Since non-duality is oneness, and it takes more than one to know something, it is impossible to know what and where you are. The acknowledgement of that sets you free from the belief in duality.

You do not need help from Alexius or anybody else not to know what and where you are. Nor can anybody help you regarding that because nobody knows what and where they are. However, some act as if they know not to look foolish but wise.

A world of duality consists of contrast. One of the main ones is right versus wrong. So if you cannot separate right from wrong, the belief in duality fades out.

It can be helpful to read Alexius’ Enlightened Non-Teachings to stop being ashamed of feeling foolish and, like Alexius, go with not knowing what and where you are. You are not instructed to follow specific steps to improve yourself but guided to foolishly forget what and where you believe in being, thus undoing the belief in duality. This occurs when your appearance as someone definitive is perceived as …

Hereafter, you experience this article without noticing that it is an artificial layer fabricated on top of code.

Thoughts can be compared to code that the brain translates into the experience of duality. However, that is like seeing a mirage. It looks real, but there is nothing there. In the below articles, you can find more detailed explanations of how a layer of duality is fabricated on top of non-duality. That said, none of the explanations is real because there is no duality:


NOTES:

What time is it!?

Updated May 16, 2023

What you think you see now is composed of many images, which, as rays of light, have travelled each their distance to you, where the brain compiles them into one image, edited as it sees fit. For example, in this picture, the sun is about eight minutes older than the palm trees in the front of the image because it takes the light eight minutes to travel from the sun to the Earth. And everything between the palm trees and the sun is between a split second and eight minutes old. But the completed image is a bit older because it takes time for the brain to compile all the images into one. In other words, the brain deceives you into believing your present experience happens now, while it happened in the past and maybe not at all, because to save time, the brain may have left out details or replaced everything with a similar image from its store.

NOW IS CONSTRUCTED BY PAST
If you look at the sun now, you see how it looked eight minutes ago because that is the time it takes for the light to travel from the sun to you. Consequently, what you think you see now is the past.

Since the distance to the stars is enormous, it takes so long for their images to reach you that they may not be there anymore when you experience seeing them now. However, something close to you also has travelled in time. That is why everything you believe in seeing now is a collection of past images selectively put together by the brain as one image. Sometimes it uses an old image that looks similar to speed up things. In short, now is an illusion.

THERE IS NO PAST
Imagine the sun has consciousness or special equipment to see what happens on Earth. In that case, it will know how you looked eight minutes ago. Then imagine observing you from a star so distant from the Earth that what it sees now is your birth.

Science has recently found a point so far away in the universe, that they can almost watch its beginning as if it happens now.

And go on to imagine points further away in the universe from where the birth of your mother and grandmother is experienced by the universe now – also the birth of itself.

In the eyes of the universe, there is no past or future but one perpetual present. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.

THERE IS NO FUTURE
When your mother’s birth is seen from a specific point in the universe, it appears as if there is a future for her, but from another location in the universe, her death is seen at the same moment as her birth.

THERE IS NO TIME
From the limited perspective of the Earth, there seems to be a past, future, and now in between. But, seen from the universe’s perspective, there is no time. Everything co-occurs.

There is no before and after – and consequently no reincarnation. It is an idea made up to make the experience of being someone in a world of linear time seems as if it is going to last.

A TV can illustrate this. For example, it may have one channel showing a sci-fi movie, another one a film from the past and yet another one a documentary. But due to limitations, you only watch one at a time, although they all play simultaneously.

Linear time is a simulated reality layered on top of one perpetual present.

In linear time, it seems like an explosion from a black hole expanded into a world defined by time and space. In reality, though, it contracted the exact moment it expanded. Thus nothing is left but memories of the expansion. However, when they are replayed in linear time, it appears as if there still is a world defined by time and space. Read more about that here.

THERE IS NO UNIVERSE
According to science, all the elements coming out of the big bang quickly organised themselves into a super pattern that would have stagnated if perfected. However, due to a few gaps, it expanded into what became the universe.

But everything that expands is bound to contract. Actually, it has already happened because everything co-occurs. Hence the universe begins and ends at the same moment.

NOTHING TO HOPE FOR
The hope for a better future upholds the belief in a universe of linear time. Especially because hope always is accompanied by fear. First, for not getting what you hope for, and if you get it, you fear losing it. However, if you wish for nothing, there is not something to lose, thus nothing to fear, wherefore you are free.

Reality is that which is One and since it is formless, thus endless, a world defined by time and space is a hallucination.

THERE IS NO FREEDOM
But since reality is oneness, and it takes more than one to be free, there is no freedom. However, while you appear to be in a world where there seems to be more than one, the relief you get from hoping for nothing sets you free from belief in being there.

Instead, it is something you pretend. And where you pretend to be, you are not. So even though you appear to be in a world where there seems to be more than one, you are not there, nor anywhere else, as that requires more than one, and there is no more that which is One. That said, although everything happens simultaneously, this seems to take a while when you appear as someone in a world where there seems to be more than one.

Eyes do not see. They translate

Updated July 1, 2023

Our eyes cannot see anything at all. The tangible world we believe seeing is a construction of thoughts compound by the brain based on the light it claims to pass through our eyes. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

Even though the digital photos in Alexius’ Duality Hacks seem different and each has its own story, they are the same in the sense that they all consist of zeros and ones. The images do not seem to differ before an app translates their specific mix of zeros and ones into separate photos reminiscent of how we expect to see the world. Their apparent difference makes us forget that there would be absolutely no photos to see if they had not been rendered by an app.

This does not only apply to digital images but anything that appears to differ from something else, regardless it seems to be inanimate or animate, spiritual or physical and whatnot. In the world where we believe in being, the app that renders nothing into something is the brain.

»Your eye is like a camera … Photons pass through your lens, which focuses them onto a spot at the back of your retina. There, specialised photoreceptive structures called rods and cones convert these photons into electromagnetic impulses that your brain interprets as shapes, colours, and textures.« From an article in Wired.

First, an app translates zeros and ones into frequencies that seem to reach your eyes from your screen. Then, the brain converts those frequencies into something that looks like you expect the world to be. Lastly, you perceive that as it is made by the brain or imagine a better version. See hack #4.1 The basic self versus the special onePhoto © Alexius Jorgensen.

The human eyes can be compared to a digital camera, which contrary to an analogue camera, does not produce images on a film inside it. Instead, the digital camera records the RAW data of light coming through the lens when the shutter button is pressed.

However, this data, cannot be seen as an image on the screen of the camera before it is converted by a built-in app into contrasts defining a world defined by time and space. Technically speaking, this is most often done by rendering RAW data into a JPEG file.

If the raw data received by the eyes or any other sense is not translated by the brain into something perceivable, there does not appear to be someone experiencing anything.

Likewise, there is nowhere inside the head of us where the light recorded by the eyes is processed into an image as in an analogue camera. The data, or frequencies of light, captured by the eyes can only be seen as an image reminiscent of the world where we believe in being when the brain has fabricated it by translating the data it collects from three taps in the eyes, that respectively record red, green and blue frequencies.

Since it takes time for the brain to process the information it gets from the eyes in a specific moment, it sorts the received information into categories and only use those needed to make up the image it wants you to see. The time delay in processing, it extrapolates so it does not seem to interfere with what you perceive happen now.

Facebook can now automatically write captions on images, that can be read by blind people, so their brain can use this info to construct an image inside of them as if they actually see the image on Facebook. The graphic is grabbed from an article in Wired.As it always takes the brain about one second to accomplish this, our conscious experience of the present is a construction of thoughts about what happened one second ago. Consequently, we do not see but think the world. Read more about that here.

It is pretty similar to how artificial intelligence automatically generates an audio caption on a photo in the News Feed for blind people on Facebook, so they can fabricate an image of a pizza, for example, themselves. The image to the left that illustrates this is grabbed from an article in Wired about that.

The blind ones, however, will not know if artificial intelligence always gets it right. Nor will they or the ‘seeing’ ones understand that the brain never gets it right when it produces experiences of a world where there seems to be more than one because there is no more than that which is One since it is formless, thus endless.

So in the context of that which is One, you do not see this article because it takes more than one to see something. But, nor do you see it in the context of a world where there seems to be more than one. Everything on the screen where you believe to read this, consists of zeros and ones added together in entirely meaningless ways.

You only seem to see this as meaningless when your electronic device has translated it into wavelengths of light, reaching your eyes in ways that the brain turns into letters forming English words.

The brain is translating the raw data coming through the eyes into experiences that seem to be tangible. But it is all make-believe. Also, that the world the brain makes you see is based on info from your eyes. It is easy for the brain to fool you into beliving this because if not, you are nothing.

Reading these words in a country where the internet is censored, some of them may have been changed or left out. And if not, you most definitely exclude some yourself, so you can twist Alexius’ Duality Hacks into something that fits your perception of the world. See also The closer you look, the less you believe what you see is real.

In other words, the article you think you read is not the article Alexius has written. What you believe in reading is based on how you perceive the brain’s translation of the article that your browser has rendered from HTML, which is one of the languages an electronic media uses to convert the mess of zeros and ones into something that appears to make sense. Read more about that here.

If you experience to be running in a dream, you are mistaken. You are not in the dream but in your bed adding thoughts together in such a way that you perceive yourself to be running in a non-existing world. The same applies to everything you believe to experience in a world where there seems to be more than one. You are not there because there is no more that which is One since it is formless, thus endless.

In other words, what you believe in reading is made up by your brain, like when you have vertigo and experience the world spinning around you. It is not happening, only in your head. And so is, for example, feeling loved or rejected. Those feelings are the same in the sense that they are not caused by anything other than electrical impulses in your head. This applies to all experiences, including those perceived as divine or spiritual. See All experiences are equally unreal.

You can compare the experience of living in a world where there seems to be more than one to using a flight simulator. Although you feel like flying, it is an illusion.

Neither humans nor self-driving cars actually see the world where they appear to be, but what their master, respectively the brain and The Cloud, based on the info coming from their senses, decides for them to see. And as you can ‘see’ in this image of how a self-driving car perceives the world, it is entirely different from how you believe to see it. The graphic is grabbed from Wired.

What you ‘see’ can be compared to what a self-driving car sees, namely nothing manipulated into something. The info received from the self-driving car sensors is shaped by The Cloud into what it wants the car to ‘see’ and respond to as real. Read more about that here.

Whether you seem to see something in a movie or what appears to be a world outside of you, it is an experience fabricated by the brain. So if someone is seen as sad, it does not mean that this is so but it this is how a certain wavelength is interpreted by the brain.

Believing to see something can also be compared to how the artificial intelligence (AI) that Facebook and Google use to sort your photos is programmed to recognise your pictures. Even though all data in electronic media consists of nothing but zeros and ones, artificial intelligence is programmed to experience special combinations of them as if they are substantial entities. The more it ‘sees’ those entities it defines as human beings, the more it learns to interpret a particular facial expression as a special emotion. Thus it experiences to ‘feel’ what it ‘sees’ and, therefore, relates to the persons in the photos as if it is one of them.

But since artificial intelligence does not exist as somebody, nobody is relating to anybody. It is just layer upon layer of algorithms that collects data and put them together in the same way as the human brain compiles thoughts to make it appear as if there is a tangible world where there is nothing but empty space.

When a smartphone recognises your face it does not mean that it sees you. In the case of Apple, for example, it registers the electrical impulses from a grid of 30,000 invisible dots which has been projected onto your face to create a 3-D map of your facial topography. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

The brain uses the very same organ to fabricate all the apparently different experiences that it makes you conscious of. So if you split them into imaginative or real, for example, you are mistaken. All experiences are make-believe.

In other words, the experience of a world defined by time and space is a construction of thoughts made by nobody from out of nothing – or as science states, the world consists of 99.9999999 per cent empty space and the rest that we perceive as elements of matter making up a tangible world, is also blank.


»The app helps people who are blind or losing their sight ´feel´ smiles. The app uses facial recognition to find a face and then vibrates in the user’s hand to let them know that the person they’re talking with is smiling.« From an article in Wired.

The person you believe to be is blind, deaf and numb. What you experience to see, hear feel and taste, regardless it appears to be spiritual or mundane, is nothing but electrical impulses. They do not mean anything at all unless the brain manipulates them into something that appears to be a smile, for example.

The brain is like an app in a wearable device for blind people. It uses facial recognition to find a face and tells you when the algorithm suggest that it smiles, so the blind can have an experience of ‘seeing´ and/or ‘feeling´a smiling face.

Most insist that this construction of thoughts is set in motion by something. Religions claim it is done by god, and many gurus stand firm on the belief that higher consciousness is behind it, and you find it if you meditate or chant, for example. But since reality is that which is One, and it takes more than one to find something, only that which is not real can be found.

Ultimately speaking, the above is just another construction of thoughts that is as illusionary as anyone else. Yet this illusion accepts that it is not real, as it requires more than one to write, read, realise or understand it, and reality is that which is One since it is formless and therefore endless.

Thus it does not claim to expose what is real, but what is not real, so you stop to believe that there is something to see where there is nothing, and this belief, therefore, does not appear to hide there is no more than that which is One.


NOTE: The above about eyes applies to all the senses. For example, if you are tone-deaf, it is not due to a problem in the ear but the brain, which cannot find the right equation in the music.

The article is part of hack #5.1 Eyes cannot see, which is about the brain fooling you into believing that you see, hear, feel and taste a tangible world where there is nothing but empty space. See also the below articles.
