Looking for my true nature

Postby NappingCat » Sun Feb 08, 2026 5:51 am

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
I am already familiar with these concepts. I practiced mindfulness meditation intermittently for several years, but only in the past year have I truly come into contact with ideas related to nonduality, awakening, and liberation. Since then, I have begun devouring material—books, videos, podcasts, articles, and so on.

What are you looking for at LU?
In the last year I have intensified my meditation practice, and this has literally been taking up more and more space in my life, occupying my thoughts for much of the day, every day. I had some insight and I can see that the I is a thought that arises and the mind creates stories around it. I understand this intellectually, but there's still a part of me that is full of doubts and believes I'm only deluding myself with this practices.

What do you expect from a guided conversation?
I'd like to have an honest conversation and to receive guidance, clarification and pointers that can help me see through the illusion. I need to uproot my beliefs. Right now I feel like I'm split between a part of me that feels this is it and the possibility of awakening is real and another part that's full of doubts. I also feel frustrated and I want to see some change.

What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry?
I've been practicing vipassana and mindfulness on and off for about 10 years. In the last year I came into contact with nonduality teachers online, mainly Adyashanti, Angelo DiLullo (Simply Always Awake), Rupert Spira and Jim Newman. I consumed a lot of their content (videos, books, podcasts etc.) and that totally changed my approach. I starded doing self-inquiry every day multiple times. In the last month I mostly read about the 10 fetters and that kind of map (thanks to Kevin Schanilec).

On a scale from 1 to 10, how willing are you to question any currently held beliefs about 'self? 11
