Nonduality is permanent

Nonduality is permanent. That’s an odd thing to think about if you haven’t experienced it yourself. Because if you’re living in a dual state, everything is temporary; everything constantly changes. There’s no constant to your experience. And this is one of the things that keeps us so stressed out; the fact that, you know, you can’t really grasp your hand on anything. You don’t really know who you are; you don’t really know where you are. Things change and change and change. And so, it kind of, even just talking about it, makes my nervous system feel stressed. But what’s down underneath all of that constant flitting around from thing to thing, there actually is a permanence. Just think, what have you been since the day you were born? There’s like a thread that goes through your whole life of you. We love to talk about our experiences when we were young, like when I was three, such and such happened, or when I was 12, or I remember in high school that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. There was the same you that’s been permanent, always there, this alive awakeness inside you. So, when you realize it, there’s nowhere for that to go. It’s always been there. So, you’re waking up into who you’ve always been, and that is a permanent state. I always like to say, if you had even the slightest idea what enlightenment is, you’d be it, because it’s that permanent.
