What is the Nature of Experience? (Nonduality: Self & Experiential Inquiry)

If you had told me ten years ago that my greatest love and deepest devotion would be with a question, I would have flashed you a perplexing glance when in my most serene kind of state.  There may have even been moments where I would have expressed rage at such absurdity. Nonetheless, in times of deep suffering with my mental and emotional health, excruciating life happenings, and moments of unexplained freedom, happiness, and aliveness, this question arose from inside me. 

This question took many shapes and forms. This diversity and dynamism in and of itself posed more and more curiosity and simultaneous knowing beyond what I thought I knew, 

 

              of what it was inviting me into. 

 

It started to take shape not only as a feeling sense inside, but also as a person, book, scene, or situation on the outside that were perfectly attuned 

 

     both as the question and the answer to it.

 

This in itself made me delve into the nature of it further. I didn’t even know what this question was. It was wordless. And closer to me than anything else I had experienced. What is this? What am I? What’s actually going on here? And 

 

               where and what is this that we call life all coming from? 

 

This question and simultaneous answer was mysterious, alive, and deeply intelligent. It gathered momentum and had a gravitational pull that got stronger and stronger. More than words, it was an energy that, with my attention, developed a greater and greater power over how I attended to it. This was simultaneously translated as how I attended to life. It was the same.

​

The effects of this changing way in which I attended to life, through a dynamic engagement with this question in its myriad appearances, began to change the quality of my life effortlessly and dramatically. Not in ‘what’ was happening but 

 

      how I felt inside all that was happening

 

regardless of what was going on. I became deeply in love with this question, and it with me. A devotion that radically shifted the way I experienced myself and the world. The more attention I placed on it, the more I found myself inside it, and the more it was seen to be the nature of everything. I could no longer find the boundary between me and that, nor me, the world, or any ‘thing’.

​

It swallowed me up. 

I was turned inside out. 

​

              

​

Feeling absolutely massive, and at the same time nothing at all, this turning inside out made everything that I thought I knew all upside down and back to front. In a really, really good way. It wasn’t confusing, it was astoundingly 

​

Clear.

​

Beautiful.

​

Absolute.

                               

                                

It actually made ‘inside’, ‘outside’, ‘up’, and ‘down’ disappear. This was hilarious, beautiful, and sometimes terrifying.

I realised with unshakeable knowing, that this was me. The real me. Not the story of me and my life (that disappeared and re-appeared too) but the expression as all that I Am.

Actual.

​

Alive.

​

Immediate.

​

Real.

​

                             

​

This question, I discovered, IS the nature of and as life and there is no separation between me and this. Not even the tiniest micro measure. This hyperintelligence that creates and destroys all appearances in experience simultaneously IS me. Revealing itself, in the fullness of its own love for itself, without ever being affected by how it is appearing. 

                         

Absolute freedom.

                         

Absolute love.

                         

Going nowhere.

                         

All ways.

​

I Am this, and this is the way it has always been and always will be. 

I am this question and its answer. This question and answer is me.

 

                       

 Fundamentally me.

                                 

AND

                         

Fundamentally you.

 

It might appear in your experience differently, but it’s essence, it’s nature, it’s heart, is the same.  

                         

One heart. 

                         

One nature. 

                         

One Life. 

​

WE - I and You and You and I - ARE THIS. All that IS, is 

                               

THIS

 

Not even the tiniest micromeasure of separation between us. 

 

There is no between.

 

If I was speaking to a rock, a blanket, a star, lake, alien, or bread basket, I would say the same. 

 

  This is all this. 

 

​This here, this that is experiencing experience, is the nature of experience...totally inseperable.

​

                               

I Am. 

What is the nature of experience? Is a question to explore yourself and your inhabitation through humanity as the absolute one reality, this presence. This that is here.

It isn’t a question to be rushed, resolved, or concluded. It is totally and absolutely unanswerable, an unresolvable mystery that will, when honored as what it truly is, deliver you out of the suffering of what you think you know, and into the deep knowing that is your very nature.

Beyond being human whilst fully including this, it’s a living, breathing, hyperintelligent engagement as life being itself wholeheartedly. In profound freedom. Right here. Right now. It’s the deepest intimacy, the deepest love, the deepest sincerity, the deepest wisdom.
