However you clearly have investigated so much time and energy in it that you wish it was real
I have invested considerable time into my search for answers, as I am sure many others have.
Like many others I would like to say I am not attached to the concepts, that I would drop them if I found better. And like many others this is not true of course.
My genes and up-to-date condition produce a specific individual frame of reference which colours my conceptual framework. Just as it does for each of us.
My reaction to reality and my representation of it in conceptual language are different to anyone else's. Although it is a representation of the same reality. Reality doesn't change but on returning to concepts and language my description of it will be individual to me.
I recognise this in myself and others, in my concepts and theirs.
Do you?
No one is neutral.
That is one of the wonders of reality, because concepts are dropped when reality is present, it is clear on picking them up again how limited they are.
This is one of the answers to the question how does one differentiate between so called insight into reality and any other subjective experience.
The other is that there is no observer to observe nonduality - observation requires duality subject and object.
We don't experience nonduality as subjective experience .
We experience it as being. Our being and nonduality are one, without a second. With out concepts.
Concepts return when duality returns. When individual awareness returns and thinking restarts.
When we conceptualize it we lose it, and can only point towards it, but never grasp it.
