I describe more of the changes I went through while perceiving the world from a non-dual perspective.
After enlightenment It felt really unnatural to clash with others. There was a new part of me that wanted to be helpful any way I could. With a dissolved ego, I didn’t feel the need to live up to my own or anybody else’s expectations. Some might’ve seen this as a downside, since I didn’t have the same motivation anymore. Also, when you hold a certain self-ideal that forces you to maintain it. Creativity held new value for me to express authentic self-identity. That was the most efficient way of showing what I was all about. The memories I could now forge were more in the moment. With less judgement in my life, it was easier to appreciate everything. At times I was still over-run with thought that was difficult to stop. This started to effect the way I slept because my mind was full of ideas. I found a new appreciation for nature to escape and be introspective.
