In a typical day, you perceive, engage, and act in a world that feels vivid and undeniable. You might work, talk with friends, or feel deeply about something you’ve experienced. Everything seems real and solid. Then, at night, you lie down to sleep.

What happens to everything you perceived and engaged with during the day? Where does it all go? The world you were immersed in—your worries, plans, interactions—seem to vanish entirely. The room you're in, the bed you're lying on, even "you," as the experiencer of the day, all fade into nothing.

When you seemingly "wake up" in the morning, the world reappears. But does it reappear from anywhere? Does it arrive with a physical solidity that you can point to, or does it simply arise, like a hologram projected from nowhere?

Consider the dream again. At night, in a dream, another world appears—complete with people, places, sensations, and events. This dream feels just as vivid as the waking world. But when the dream ends, where does that world go? The same question applies to the waking state: when you sleep, where does the waking world go? When you wake up, where does it come from?

This waking life, too, arises as if from nothing. Like a hologram, it appears within “Awareness,” yet Awareness itself remains untouched, unaltered, and always present. The images, sounds, and forms appear, but they hold no actual substance. They are like reflections in a mirror—not separate from the mirror but never altering its essence.

Without "Awareness, Presence, Beingness", would you even know of "this"?

So, if the waking world arises in the same way as a dream—out of nothing, as nothing, and into nothing—what is it, really? It’s not “out there,” just as last night’s dream wasn’t “out there.” It’s all happening within this moment of Awareness. And that "Awareness" is what you truly are. Everything else? It’s no different from a hologram: appearing and vanishing.

Nothing is that serious.

Take it easy. There is quite literally NOTHING happening. You don't have to be so hard on yourself, trying to understand something. Or do something. Or to just BE.

Your being is effortless. Everything is dependent on you. Not vice versa. These are pointers, which point you to your true nature. More like, reminders or notifications as Chen (@infiniteko ) said.

There are no aha moments waiting for you. No big realisation that'll dawn upon you someday. There's nothing to wait for. Seriously. Even right now while you're reading this, you're aware of reading this right? Who is aware? Is it the person you think, or something beyond that?

If you think it's a person, think again. Thought comes first, or is it the awareness of thinking? Can anything exist without your awareness and undisputed acceptance of it? Simple answer is No.

Do you see with your eyes in your dreams? Or are you just aware?

Do you hear with your ears in your dreams? Or are you just aware?

And if you don't have any dreams, are you not just aware of NOTHING while sleeping?

What is absolute in all these? One common thing? The awareness.

And there is no one who is aware.

It's all just Awareness being Aware of itself. THAT experiencing THAT.

" " experiencing " ".

What can harm " "? And why would " " be scared of anything at all, when it is all there is?

What are you taking so seriously, there is NOTHING to do. Just BE.

These are reminders for YOU. The infinite intelligence. AWARENESS. THAT. Call it whatever you want. If there's anything you don't understand, you're most likely trying to understand through this person you believe yourself to be.

Just because you've been writing a great fantasy novel for a long time doesn't mean you are the CHARACTER in it. No matter how attached to it you might be.

How would the character in novel understand, KNOW that his whole experience can turn around only if AUTHOR decide to put the pen down. Whenever it wants.

So, look deeper. Go within. Pull yourself away for a bit from this illusion. It's indeed a very detailed dream you created for yourself but now it's time to remember yourself.

Go within. And go beyond the surface level.

Your inner child exists now , literally

I was just thinking about the concept of the inner child and how people often see it as something tied to their past, a part of themselves they carry within. But in terms of infinite consciousness and non duality everything exists now right ?

Which means the inner child is also not just a memory or a distant version of you. The younger version of you LITERALLY exists in this very moment too.

Whenever you think of the past or your memories, you’re connecting to that version, not recalling something that’s “gone.”

When you “heal your inner child,” you’re not healing the past. You’re healing a younger part of you that is still right here with you.

House of Leaves has got numerous theories on what the house is or who wrote what, or even what exists in the first place, and all of those theories tend to have at least a little evidence, but honestly i vibe w these two entries on the HoL WMG tv tropes page. they're cookin in their own ways

Forgive the late update on Ben's animation, I've already gotten such a large chunk done but, the hand alone took me HoURs because I'm drawing every single one by hand so it's not blurry.

Between helping my friend with the adopt batch, and working on this absolute pain I've had barely anything to update you with. The adopt batch itself will be updated on here, but you'll have to be patient since the leader of the batch left Thier works at another house.

Running in Circles, Searching for What?

Readers often describe feeling trapped in a loop: searching, chasing, doing more to get somewhere. Hoping for progress, proof, or an improvement that justifies all the effort. But here’s the real question:

Has it brought you anywhere?

Take a moment. How long have you been seeking? Months? Years? Have you "found" anything, or is it just more seeking, more questions, more frustration? You run in circles, chasing shadows, hoping the next practice, insight, or realization will be "it."

It’s not wrong to feel this way, but consider this: the very act of searching implies you think there’s something missing—something you lack that needs to be attained. But what if the assumption itself is flawed? What if the one seeking is the very illusion you’re trying to unpack?

Let’s step back and look at the nature of a "dream".

When "you" seem to "dream" at night, no matter what the "dream" looks like—whether it’s exciting, terrifying, or mundane—"who/what" is always "present"? Who is there in every "dream"? And how do you even know it’s a "dream"? You can feel sensations arising, hear the sounds, and even "think" within the "dream". Sounds familiar, no?

Now look deeper: where is the dream coming from? What gives it its apparent existence? When the dream ends, where does it go? And in those moments of so-called deep sleep, when you say, "I didn’t dream at all," how do you know that gap was even there? What remains?

In every dream, there’s an undeniable Knowing—a "presence" that holds it all, isn't there? The dream is fleeting, but the Knowing of it isn’t. It’s there whether the dream is "vivid", "faint", or "absent" altogether. And that same knowing is "present" now, reading these words, isn't it? You don't have to use any thoughts to notice.

So.. what are you really searching for? The next “aha” moment? A tangible shift? Something to confirm, “Yes, now I’ve got it”? But who would "get it"?

All there is, is this—this effortless "awareness" in which everything arises and disappears.

All seeking starts to dissolve when you see that what you’re looking for isn’t "out there." It’s the same presence that’s already aware of the seeking, the frustration, and the loop itself. Just like in a dream, you’re chasing answers without realizing you’re the space in which the entire dream unfolds.

Here’s the thing: I can tell you this over and over again, and I can write endless words about it, but at the end of the day, you have to see it. Nothing I say or anyone else says will make it clearer to you than seeing it directly.

Think of it like this: imagine I tell you about the taste of a "Tsampa" (tibetan foodstuff). Let me try to describe it—Tsampa has a simple, earthy taste—kind of nutty and a little smoky because it’s made from roasted barley. It’s pretty dry on its own, but when you mix it with butter tea (bo cha) or milk (or water), it turns into a creamy porrdige that’s super satisfying.

Do you now know how it tastes based off of this short description? No matter how much anyone tries to describe it, you wouldn’t really know what it’s like until you actually try it yourself. You might feel like you “get it,” but until you actually taste Tsampa (-Porridge) for yourself, it’s all just words. The actual direct experience is yours to have, and words will never compare to it.

It’s the same here. Look at the loop you feel stuck in. Look at the dreamlike nature of every experience. Look at what’s behind the looking itself. And notice: the seeking, the searching, and even the apparent struggle—what is all of it arising in?

The dream at night is your perfect clue. Who’s been there in every dream, in every scene, in every story in and out of it? Who’s the constant presence beneath it all? If you truly see that, will there be any questions left?

generally I think the last thing anyone needs is more discourse on the barbie film. is it feminist to like girly things? is it more or less anti-capitalist to not watch it? is it--
