The old notion of ego and the separative stance has to be put aside.\u00a0\u00a0Once the ego-notion is seen for what it really is, then there is no pseudo-self to presume that a stance is needed. \u00a0This is the liberation spoken of in all the old texts.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 Beyond dogmas and doctrines and anything objectively definite is the Advaita, the stance of no stance. Nonduality is simple; but the mind is scattered and illusive, confused about the truth or falsity of its points of reference. \u00a0Nonduality cannot be willed to be, cannot be imagined, cannot be desired or felt \u2013 but it can be known when all the mental sets and discriminative errors of cognition are recognized and put aside. \u00a0Nonduality cannot be known through comparison with duality; the mind wants to always compare opposites in order to try to understand things in relativity, but it won\u2019t help in trying to understand real nonduality. \u00a0This is because there is no standard to compare against or to measure against. \u00a0 Reality has no opposite. \u00a0 Every attribute of the phenomenal realm, every detail of objectivity, all within the infinity of space and the eternity of time belongs to nonduality and applies to every conceivable attribute of existence. \u00a0This is why nonduality is inconceivable, because no discriminative mental process of comparison is relevant or formulatable. \u00a0Not a single detail of anything whatsoever is totally conceivable, since in order to understand one single detail of anything, all else in relativity must also be totally understood since all and everything is interdependently existent. \u00a0 All of the infinity of the matrix of interdependent relativity is essentially indivisible, unimaginable, immeasurable, incomparable, and inconceivable. No thing exists in the way we have become used to habitually perceiving it. In the expanse of infinite reality there is no true divisibility so there is no possibility of understanding nonduality with a mind that keeps splitting things into opposites and relative associations. To go beyond conventional views and to know without the interference of the habituated mind, is the stance of Advaita. \u00a0 But Advaita cannot stand on any sort of conventional view because all conventional views are by necessity limited and bounded by some degree of partiality or error of perception. Advaita has no such stance and transcends conventional perception by its apperception.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/75-DSCI0789.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-434 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/75-DSCI0789.jpg\" alt=\"stance\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/75-DSCI0789.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/75-DSCI0789-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/75-DSCI0789-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advaita is the Stance of No Stance \u00a0 \u00a0How to stand in stability in nondual perspective? \u00a0 A separate \u201cyou\u201d or \u201cme\u201d can never do it. \u00a0So stop thinking in the dualistic way. \u00a0Simple. \u00a0So simple it will take a lot of practice, a lot of repetitive remembrance of actuality, to break the old perspectival &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/advaita-the-stance-of-no-stance\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advaita is the Stance of No Stance<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":930,"parent":0,"menu_order":26,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-433","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=433"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/433\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2401,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/433\/revisions\/2401"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
