The Mountain

“You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here. Technology is destructive only in the hands of people who do not realize that they are one and the same process as the universe.”
- Alan Watts

‘Can the Mind Observe Without Comparison’ By Jiddu Krishnamurti.
‘Who Am I?’ The Teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi
‘I Am Not the Body’ By Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
‘Love - The Revelation of Our Shared Being’ By Rupert Spira.
‘The State of Not Knowing Is Intelligence’ By Jiddu Krishnamurti.

Good books don’t give you answers. They make the questioner disappear.
It is a gift to your inner world! And also kind of hilarious, like watching yourself look for your glasses while they’re on your head.

Was there any one book that truly opened the door to non-dual awareness for you? Tell me in the comments.

𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮?


𝐓𝐡𝐞 "𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥" 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲 – You can switch tracks and change the scenery, but the train is heading to the same destination no matter what.You can make choices, but they can only affect small details—major life events are set in stone. Similar to how an actor improvises within a movie.



𝐓𝐡𝐞 "𝐏𝐫𝐞-𝐋𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥" 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲 – You did have free will, but you already used it all before birth, setting up the entire course of your life before you even got here.Every decision you’ll ever make was already locked in the moment you were born. You're just catching up.




𝐓𝐡𝐞 "𝐍𝐏𝐂 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫" 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲 – You do have free will, but only sometimes—at random points, your consciousness goes into autopilot, and you become an NPC for hours or days without realizing it.



𝐓𝐡𝐞 "𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥" 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲 - Humans are seen as co-creators, capable of manifesting their own reality through intentional action and thought. In this worldview, the freedom to choose is part of the universal flow of energy—you are an artist of your own life, and through your will, you can create new possibilities. The belief is that free will allows the mind to tap into higher planes of creativity and spiritual potential.

𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 ''𝐘𝐨𝐮'' 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲?

The Lucid Dreamer – You begin to see that life is a construct. Awareness flickers, but ego still pulls you back.

The Paradox Walker – You exist in contradictions. You know everything is an illusion, yet still live within it.

The Fractal Mind – Reality is self-referential. You see infinite versions of yourself in everything.

The Zero Point – Identity dissolves. No self, no other. Pure awareness, beyond even the need to "know."

The Mountain

This is a moment to pause, to acknowledge, and to celebrate—20,000 of you who have chosen to hear what the mountain has to say. 20,000 of you. That’s 20,000 stories, 20,000 ways of seeing the world. A vast constellation of minds, each a flickering star, but the same sky holds us.

The aim of this channel is to expand our metacognition and ideological plasticity, play with ideas & thought experiments and evoke knowing beyond binary intellect. All this while having epistemic humility, recognizing the limitations of one’s own knowledge and being open to alternative viewpoints, even when they challenge one’s own beliefs.

We are limited, not by our abilities, but by our vision. There's an almost instinctual drive within us to immediately agree or disagree with a presented idea. We walk around mentally saying yes and no to everything around. It's a reflex—a mental tic—as though we fear the void between these two extremes. On this channel I invite you to create a space of play, to train our cognitive flexibility and paradoxical thinking. In Rumi’s timeless words : Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

When I started this channel exactly 1 year ago, I had no idea how much I’d learn from your comments! Thank you for being here, for listening, for speaking back. It’s a strange and beautiful thing, this connection we’ve built. The mountain may stand still, but you’ve made it feel alive.
