True Non-Doing Defined
- Real non-doing is a backward step into what has always been present, not an effortful action.
- Trying to 'do' non-doing results in exertion, but true non-doing is effortless recognition.
Porosity After Awakening
- Awakening to non-duality makes you more porous, feeling more intensely and absorbing others' energies.
- Protect your energy by practicing solitude and learning to advocate for your own space.
Protect Energy with Solitude
- Spend time in solitude to mitigate absorbing others' energies and manage sensitivity.
- Treat yourself well energetically, as intense feelings will increase after awakening.
