An Advaita forum focusing on Realisation, enlightenment, non-duality, Real Love, peace, freedom, Your original nature, abiding naturally, the Oneness, the Nothingness, and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
Here, there is nothing that is believed, so there is no one here who wants you to believe anything, either. Here, the invitation is to be free of all that you have been programmed, conditioned, acculturated, and domesticated to believe so that you can be free, period.
FROM A SITE VISITOR: You quoted Maharaj as saying in reality I only look. Will you explain that in more detail? Thanx.
F.: As long as one's "looking" is happening at the level of subject-object witnessing, then one can never abide in the Realized fashion that was described by Maharaj as being marked by "total detachment, aloofness, standing apart" while simultaneously feeling sorrow for the suffering, "suffering with those who suffer," and "being full of compassion."
It has been asked, "If looking is all that is happening, how can feeling also happen?" Again, what seems to be a contradiction can be easily understood if totally Realized: at the pure witnessing level, the Oneness and Real Love are understood while the false love that is spoken of at the subject-object level is rejected;
therefore, the kindergarten level of "I love you" (with "I" as the subject and "you" as the object) gives way to something even beyond "I AM You" or "You and I Are One." Why beyond? Because the truth - even the truth of the Oneness - cannot be stated, but it can be known:
"Love is knowing that I am everything...wisdom is knowing that I am nothing" is not a statement of truth but is also merely one more pointer toward the truth. Functioning from the mode of pure witnessing, looking happens and the feeling of compassion manifests, but that feeling is also merely witnessed because You are "standing apart" from it all.
Furthermore, when the pure witnessing manner of looking manifests, deception ends. When an event is witnessed purely, it is seen to be a reflection of every event that has ever happened prior to it. That is why the Realized cannot be robbed of their peace.
Imagine a person says something that in the past might have been "offensive." Pure looking allows it to be understood that the words are not coming from a person and are not being directed at another person. (That would be subject-object witnessing.)
All that is playing out in any given event is the most recent occurrence in a long chain of happenings that are being driven (among all but the few that have Realized) by personality, persona-desires, persona-fears, past programming, past conditioning, past domestication and past acculturation.
Here is how "relationship" problems end post-Realization, using an actual case as an example:
She was given ignorant advice by totally ignorant parents. Her abusive father said, "You are beautiful, so unlike your brother, we will not be sending you to college. It would just be a waste because you will use your looks someday to find a man to take care of you."
Her equally ignorant mother said, "And always use love as a tool to manipulate men and they'll always provide for you." So with those two pieces of advice, she left home with a "love men, hate men" attitude and a "be a user" attitude. The attitudes were not chosen, but they would most assuredly become her subconscious motivating factors, robbing her of any opportunity to enjoy the peace and joy of total independence.
How does Realization help avoid "relationship" problems? For one, the Realized one will not be in a position to engage with one who is absorbed in body identification and who is using the body and false love to manipulate. Yet many others among the non-Realized will be most willing to function at the body-attraction-only level and will most willingly accept being manipulated.
In the case above, eventually the woman did use her looks to attract a millionaire, but eventually the love-hate duality with which she was programmed manifested, so she was driven to proclaim, "I am leaving you. I have taken the money from the accounts. And by the way, I never loved you and I only used you. In fact, I hate you."
[NOTE: At that point in the U.S., male-female "relationships" often end with a murder. Fifty-nine percent of all females who are murdered annually now die during a breakup with a "lover" or "spouse." The murder gap is closing, though: now 41% of all men in male-female "relationships" are killed by a female "lover" or "spouse" during a breakup.]
But suppose murder is not the case, as it was not in the example above. The non-Realized man took the comments personally and experienced mental and emotional suffering around the rejection and the hurtful, even debilitating, words. He really thought that someone was choosing to say those words, and he really believed that there was a person to hear those words and suffer as a result.
How did that misery and suffering end when Realization happened? It was shown to him that the words did not come from one person directed at another person. (His S-O looking was shown to be an illusion.)
It was seen that the words were not chosen. It was seen that, within the elemental body-breath-consciousness triad, there is no "one" that can be hurt by words. (If a supposedly disparagingly e-mail is received here, can those words hurt the plant food elements? No. Can they hurt the air being breathed? No. Can they affect the pure consciousness? Of course not. Realization provides freedom by allowing clear "looking" to happen.)
Next, the looking that happens via Realization is based in this understanding of personality: if a dummy is seated on the legs of a ventriloquist, it will appear that the dummy is thinking about what it wants to say, is choosing what it says, and is deciding to move left or right, backwards or forwards, up or down.
In fact, it is understood that there is a driving force behind the dummy that is determining every thought and every word and every action. The force behind the dummy is the controlling force. The dummy is not choosing a single thought or word or deed on its own.
The man saw the relevance of that metaphor as it applied to his former "relationship." How could one that sees clearly via pure witnessing mistake the hidden motivating factors that are at work in a body-cum-consciousness as having anything at all to do with an actual person? One that is Realized cannot ever confuse the two. How can the Realized take offense? They cannot. How can words hurt elements or the air or the consciousness? They cannot.
Sanity is restored with pure looking, with pure witnessing. Would you be so crazy that you could be offended by one of those talking dolls, the kind where you pull a string in the doll's back and the doll supposedly speaks?
Of course you could not be offended by whatever words come from that windup toy, knowing it was programmed to say whatever it says, knowing that none of it is coming from a "real person," and knowing that none of the words are directed at you personally...the "personal you" having dissolved with Realization.
Similarly, once You look purely, you can never be offended by anyone functioning in the same manner as that windup doll, saying what it is programmed to say and having no ability to choose to say anything that is any different;
however, Realization-induced independence will assure that you need not stay around that doll for the entire manifestation, pulling its string and hearing the silly words that it is programmed to speak over and over and over again. Realization ends all addiction to chaos, and the joy of pulling its string will likely end at some point. You will not have a persona-based need to listen forever to the noise coming from the doll.
Your being restored to sanity is no guarantee that all of the unhealthy "relationships" you entered into when you were being driven by insanity will suddenly be "healthy." There are many ways that "relationship" problems will be spontaneously and automatically addressed once sanity returns. When Maharaj was encouraged to remarry after his wife took mahasamadhi, he answered, "I am married...to freedom." So it might be.
When the pure witness manner of looking manifests, nothing is ever misperceived again. Nothing can be taken personally. Nothing can shake the gnani's condition that is marked by the "total detachment, aloofness, and standing apart" that Maharaj mentioned.
In the case above, when it was seen by the former "husband" that the one who had supposedly offended him was set up from the beginning to engage in the duality of love-hate, in the limitations of body identification, and in the subject-object manner of functioning that calls for a subject to use an object, then it is impossible for any of that to be misperceived (much less bothersome) any longer.
It is impossible, post-Realization, to take anything personally. When the afternoon rain begins to fall on the deer in this neighborhood, they slowly walk into the area beneath a copse of trees and relax in the cool blue shade.
As drops begin to pelt a deer, it does not assume that it is being assaulted...that it is going to die because of it is supposedly being struck. That which strikes the deer rolls right off its back, amounting to nothing more than a minor, temporary distraction from what it was doing spontaneously and naturally.
And after the rain passes, the deer will return to what it was doing spontaneously and naturally prior to the storm, totally unaffected because it was never programmed and conditioned to ignorantly take anything personally.
When Maharaj advised, "Develop the witness attitude," he referred to the Pure Witness attitude. From that Pure Witnessing / True Self mode, no matter what the storms might bring, at the very most you will move away and rest in the cool blue shade until the storm passes.
You will be neither addicted to nor controlled by nor attached to the body alone, including your own or that of another. You will not be attracted to body alone; therefore, You will not succumb to being manipulated and controlled. You will not take anything personally.
[Were the woman in the example above to Realize, then she would reject the messages of her ignorant parents that she has internalized and that have driven her throughout her life. She would transcend "body-only identification." She would break the pattern of finding a man to take care of her, tiring of him, divorcing him, finding another rich man, marrying him, etc. She would become independent instead of remaining dependent.
She would witness purely and know the Oneness and the Real Love that she seeks but will likely never find. She could no longer be driven to speak in mean-spirited ways. She would have choice for the first time ever. She would be free...free of being controlled by parents that are physically miles away but whose influence is never any farther away than her "mind."]
Additionally, once Realized and seeing purely, You will never be affected by those being driven by their programmers. You will witness any event as one in a chain of events and understand that the event could not be happening in the way it is happening if it were not for all of the prior happenings and programming and conditioning and acculturation and domestication that preceded the event and that are driving every aspect of the event being witnessed.
You will then function as freely as the deer and the birds and the fish that have never been exposed to such perverted influences that block pure looking...pure seeing...pure witnessing. You will be free. No person who happens to be functioning in the exact manner of the dummy mentioned above can affect You.
The invitation is to develop the pure witnessing mode and be done with misery and suffering once and for all.

The Twice-Stolen Necklace Murders offers the non-duality message by way of a mystery-adventure novel, discussing the movement from pain to healing to awakening to peace.
From Dr. R.F. Maley, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus and former Head of the Department of Psychology, University of Houston: "Floyd Henderson's book, The Twice-Stolen Necklace Murders, is a fun read and an interesting mystery, but perhaps more importantly it serves as a vehicle for blending Eastern Philosophy and Native American Spirituality to make an intellectually challenging novel. The book's insights into both relationships and authoritarian conditioning of people in our society make it a must read, tracing the roots of narcissistic, sociopathic and psychopathic behaviors to the very core of the culture. This truly witty and politically-incorrect study of the aggressive nature of 'the American character' offers not only a diagnosis but also a treatment plan, making the book an excellent supplemental reading in courses such as psychology, anthropology, philosophy, sociology and counseling."
