“ILLUSIONS, ESCAPE FROM REALITY AND TRANSCENDENCE”

We experience the deep and heavy sadness and suffering that accompanies every emotion, ego reaction, thought, and judgment we experience in what mind calls reality, leading us to ask the simple question, “Why is there such deep sadness and suffering in this world?” and, supported by longing to “know the truth” of our true nature, as we sincerely but thoroughly explore within ourselves, we are led to a more profound world, the innermost silence, and eventually, inevitably, transcend the world of the Mind.

Thus, the spiritual awakening that inevitably occurs when we face the world of seeming reality head-on cannot be an escape from the reality.

Since the purpose of escaping reality is to avoid feeling deep sadness and suffering, thereby it makes oneself keep away from the innermost of oneself, on the contrary, spiritual awakening cannot occur.

Spiritual awakening is the world we find beyond we have physically, mentally, and emotionally tasted the world we thought was real, where we learn for the first time that everything we thought was real was merely an illusion.
It is not that one awakens spiritually because one knew it as knowledge that it was an illusion, nor that one realizes that it was an illusion after all. Spiritual awakening does not occur by taking shortcuts.

That’s why, those who leave their thoughts behind and pursue the world deeply, in whatever field, transcend the world of the mind unintentionally as a result, just as those who explore existence profoundly.

Until we cross that point of transcendence, we have no way of reaching genuine wisdom, though we can accumulate knowledge, and we are conversely strengthening the world of the Mind through desperate efforts from loneliness, fear, and worthlessness due to separation, but since transcendence of the world of the Mind only occurs beyond experience of hard times, being in the present moment, ‘now’ is significant for everyone rather than being caught in various judgments.

Being in the present moment, paradoxically we can come to be calm enough to also let go of all resistance, all clinging to rightness, all attempts to escape from fear. And moreover we will be able to also take courage to go much deeper into ourselves.

Remember this,

Even if this world that seems so real is in fact all an illusion, that knowledge does not allow us to avoid sadness and suffering or transcend the world of the mind. Though our mind can have the illusion that it is possible…

Be patient, careful, and generous towards the ego. 🙏🌈✨
