I’ll just leave this here. Thanks Morgan for an incredibly lucid elucidation of the central truth at the core of Advaita Vedanta, and a window into the Truth at the center of Reality itself. At the center of YOU.
You will see, at some point in reading this, why yogis often worship Shiva: the god of Destruction, which includes all endings, including death.
Morgan elucidates perfectly how contemplation of non-existence actually reveals a “way out” of the mental matrix of thought/belief, and into the real, which is an ontological shift at its core. A God that exists is not untrue but incomplete, but keeps the mind trapped in form. A God that doesn’t exist is also not untrue, but the mere contemplation of it frees the mind, dissolves beliefs, ideas, and ultimately: ego, or the sense of “I.” I Am Word. I am a Word, because without words, I cannot say -or even think- “I Am.” Without, or beyond words, my very existence as a separate self dissolves completely, leaving behind: Reality as it is. God as God Is.
