Dear Mike,
This thought has arisen and I would like to share it with you. Please comment on it.
According to my experience there are 3 “looks”. Out, in, IN in my definition.:)
So, in this case, there are 3 worlds in "Mira"'s mind. Right? 2 are untrue, 1 is true.
e.g. as we all know and had some experience in yoga, meditation etc... there are many techniques. E.g. mind-reading, manifesting certain things and so on
lets look at mind-reading. If the ones mind is able to read others’ minds then that's unity? Or just that the mind is receptive enough to the others mind? Or the “I” truly “looks”? Actually this is all same just different wording. Or...?
How about manifestation? The mind creates things and they happen.
It seems to me that the dual world ( the unreal world) functions differently from non dual. Dual – the non real world has its own world, the rules, separation which causes suffering and the non dual just a flow, just “to be”.
And this all depends on the “LOOK.” So, “I” better get the “LOOK” right.
Love,
Mira:)
A guide would be appreciated!

Good Morning Mira,
Many ideas arise after seeing no self, and it's often seen as the 'beginning' more than the 'end' of the path or whatever term may be used. Once things are finalised here, you will be invited to join many others who are in the process of deepening their insight with discussion and also practical continued exercises in direct experience.
On this forum, we aim to purely focus on insight into no-self and try not to tackle anything which distracts from that sole purpose, but the question you pose, is totally appropriate to post-gate discussion groups (which are fab).
However, it's true to say that this question is an academic and speculative question, simply because it CAN be talked about and theorised on. (as opposed to seen and known). The fact that it involves 3 ways in which we can view the world (3 looks), automatically tells us it is dualistic thinking.
For more information on some of your ideas, you may find Advaita Vedanta teachers such as Rupert Spira, quite useful, he did an excellent talk which tackled ideas around singular experience perspective (one person), and how it could be explained that multiple perspectives (many people with supposed different experiences), can be one and the same.
With regard to which 'look' is used, it may be far more simple than what is imagined. Yes we mostly think and function dualistically, but the difference is, we know this - which changes our perspective on life and begins to mean our lives and how we see it is based on Reality rather than delusion.
Still awaiting one last guide to become available in order to complete this stage.
Love
Mike :-)
