Developing a social memory complex

[Anders]

I have recently found a lot of hardcore nonduality teachers. The most extreme nonduality teachings can sound nihilistic. What they can be useful for I realized is to break the main trick of the beast stream.

The beast stream tricks us to believe that we have lived in a past and makes us cling to our personal past (which actually is a massive service to self habit). Ra said somewhere that there is only the present moment. So for example, did I write the previous sentence? Actually, no, the sentence exists now and only now! It's a radical shift of perspective that I believe can uproot the beast stream illusion.

And Ra said that reality is made of thought, and that must include the past! So the past is information projected as thoughts in the now. I think of the past as real, but I question the belief that there is a past outside the now.
