“TRANSCENDENCE”

To awaken to essence is to transcend all concepts known to the mind, or to put it succinctly, that recognition completely shifts from the dual world to the nondual world, but because this “transcendence” is so far beyond the world known to the mind, none of us will be able to comprehend even a glimpse of it unless we literally glimpse this “transcendence.”

Also, the fact that this “transcendence” is not just a hurdle to be cleared is also beyond the world that the mind knows, so almost always, the mind falls into this kind of ego’s trap (the assumptions and prejudices that “if I do something, I will spiritually be complete”) and often sinks into further illusions.

This is a detriment that comes from the fact that the mind always tries to estimate things within the known and grasp the unknown, but because of this, by actually transcending the world of mind can we deeply comprehend the limitations of the mind, which can only understand things within the known.

In the same way, it becomes also possible for us to become aware of the paradox that no matter how many times we transcend mind, it alone never guarantees that we remain in free from the mind.

As a matter of fact, what we might call the first “transcendence experience” is merely the beginning of spiritual awakening. It is from there that the spiritual awakening deepens as we go through several layers, and the more we continue to put into practice and the deeper we dive into the depths of truth, the more naturally we become, and the more its irreversibility becomes established.

Therefore, in order to truly deepen spiritual awakening beyond the trap of unconscious self-deception by the mind, whatever it may be, we need to continue surrendering the mind endlessly and stay in a humble state of total surrender to being guided by the unknown.

Moreover, this is the surest and fastest way to deepen spiritual awakening.

In fact, no matter how much we think or imagine about the “nondual world,” “transcendence,” or “spiritual awakening” in our minds, without transcendence from the mind, understanding is impossible, and the mind will eventually just fall into some concept.

Conversely, the deeper spiritual awakening truly deepens, the more we come to surrender the mind, so the manifest mind that recognizes how much we know, or what we have experienced, etc., disappears and we inevitably become more and more humble.

Since spiritual awakening has nothing to do with age, gender, or birth, the deeper we become spiritually awakened, the more we even begin to learn from everything (not to mention from the awakened, and it becomes supremely natural to learn from everything, even those who are younger, spiritually asleep, etc.)

Conversely, the more spiritually asleep we are, the more we tend to cling to the “righteousness” or our own interpretation of it, and the more we try to correct people based on it, and the more we cling to our self-perception (e.g., as elitism, idea of being part of a chosen people) as a being that leads people, and the more we are driven by that impulse or reactions.

Let go of everything. All is vanity. Continue to surrender everything you think you have gained.

Otherwise, none of us will ever spiritually awaken. (OM 🙏)
