One of the mind-boggling consequences of non-duality and becoming very conscious is that all criticism becomes untenable.

All criticism is delusion.

And here I want to explore why that is the case.

This is in fact the case, and it's one of those consequences of non-duality

that most people don't understand when they just hear about non-duality that most people don't understand when they just hear about

non-duality being spoken of by a cartolet or somebody else like that. This is one of

those additional wrinkles that you discover as you go deeper down the rabbit hole.

See, criticism is one of the mind's greatest traps. The mind uses criticism as a red herring to distract from turning inwards and self-reflection.

Criticism is very convenient at orienting the mind outwardly, externalizing

whatever problems exist on the inside to the outside, and getting the mind to deny responsibility and looking at the world holistically.

See, because to do an effective criticism you have to trick your own self into believing that the thing you're criticizing is separate from yourself and distinct from you and therefore you are then

justified to criticize it because it's not you. But the only way you can do that is by not being conscious of the fact that everything is one.

So what criticism does is actually criticism actively prevents people from noticing that

everything is one because if you notice that everything is one and you're

conscious of that 24-7 what are you going to criticize yourself you would constantly be walking around criticizing yourself.

And of course, that's a giant waste of time.

And also you would notice very quickly just how unsatisfying that is as an attitude towards life.

It's a very ungrateful and just unhappy way to be.
