Non-Duality Q&A: Abiding as Presence

Question: I found out today that the seeker is not who I thought myself to be.

It happened before this realisation.

So now I find the body going to chat all by itself… brushing the teeth… and with this comes a recognition that there is something watching it.

Even writing this is happening by itself.

I don’t know what this has to do with truth.

I realise the non-doer… but not the non-dual truth.

Any tips besides just being with it?

Terrence: The non-dual truth is recognised in the absence of thought.

What is watching is:

without quality

still

silent

formless

dimensionless

The shift is simply a recognition of that.

Nothing more is needed.

But you cannot do this.

It happens in the absence of “you”.

“You” is only a pattern of thought.

Nothing else.

One thought tells another thought that you exist.

That is all it is.

There is a particular pattern of thought that has not yet been seen clearly:

The “me”.

If this is not seen…

there will remain the sense that “you” are real and that “you” want to awaken.

See what is actually happening.

And the truth will dissolve the “me”.

What remains…

is nothing.

And yet — boundless love.

A love that cannot be understood by the mind.

Be still.

Relax.

All is resolved in nothingness.

Nothing is wrong. Nothing is right.

Pure nothingness.

And yet…

pure, non-split love.

Nothing happening.

Beautifully.

Sublime

Question: AWAKENING is happening here heavily over the last 2 days.

It feels like I am losing the sense of being the doer and becoming awareness out of the blue.

I don’t know what anything means anymore.

I also notice music playing, scratching of the head, the rain… all as Oneness, presenting itself effortlessly.

I am being done.

It is confusing, but I trust you… just letting it happen.

I just wonder — what happens at the point of enlightenment?

No doer?

Terrence:I’d like you to tell me that.

Call to Attention

Question : Hi Terrence, every time there’s deep self-enquiry going on (usually lying in bed with my eyes closed), I seem to get uncontrollable spasms in my lower chest/gut area.

Almost like “my” body is trying to tell me where to look.

Does this resonate or make any sense to you?

Terrence: Yes.

It is a call to attention.

To pre-sense — through the senses 😊

Question: I’m not sure I understand what you are saying 🤔

Terrence: You cannot understand this.

It is not meant to be understood.

Simply abide.

Presently.

All is resolved here.

Question: Thanks Terrence, I’ll ponder that — for whatever it’s worth to the intellect.

Terrence: Do not ponder with the intellect.

That is the very block.

Instead…

Notice what that energy is pointing to.

Essence. Aliveness. Presence.

Turn all attention there.

Abide there.

If awakening is to happen…

you must be present.

Because awakening occurs here.

Now.

It may seem ordinary.

Even uneventful.

Still — remain.

Understand this:

You cannot do any of this.

It simply happens.

And when it does…

you realise nothing happened.

Nothing ever happened.

And nothing will ever happen.

And it is wonder-filled.

Pure, spontaneous nothing happening.

Not that there is anyone to do this…

But be still.

Notice…

Nothing.

Happening

Question: Thanks Terrence, I know language falls short for describing “That”
