NONDUALITY: AUTOBIOGRAPHY VERSUS BIOGRAPHY AND WHY IT ALL ENDS UP LOOKING THE SAME AS BEFORE



Before a shift or a falling away of story, one’s autobiography is paramount. It is serious, real, and there is not a moment, an emotion, a thought, or anything else that is not invested in it. People will immediate act and react in accordance not with what is present, but with their own story. You can see this everywhere and know it in yourself. After a shift so-called, or a snapping, or an expansion of awareness of some sort, or whatever term suits, the same person is no longer a person but is everything and nothing at the same time. Yet, in the Source, the Stillness, movement happens and humans apparently exist. So now the person can talk about themselves almost in the third person. Some people do this. Jim can say, When Jim was seventeen he broke his hand during a fall on some gravel when he was cross country running. If you talk like that, you will appear quite strange. So, to ‘go along and get along,’ Jim, during a kind of re-socialization, ends up saying this: When I was seventeen, I broke my hand during a fall on some gravel when I was cross country running. Now the listener will not take a second glance. Now Jim has returned seamlessly to the world. He knows he is not. In fact, he has become the grandest secret of perhaps the universe! He has become the fact that he is nothing less than the universe! But that, in regular society, is deemed ‘crazy talk,’ narcissistic delusion, so on. So there he is, sipping his coffee. How can he tell a mailman or waiter, a passerby or really even acquaintance or friend, what he has found? This is where the most genuine of people, someone who is not a character, a persona, ends up, crazily enough,- acting like an actor,- in order to put others at ease. Yet, at least he or she knows through some Gnostic sense, through something like I AM, that he/she is not the story but that the story is something that appears inside of Source, God.
