“MONEY, SELF-ACTUALIZATION, AND BEYOND DOERSHIP.”
First of all, essence is not our personal emotions, our character, our body that can move around, or even our mind (ego) that thinks and clings to various things.
The essence is one consciousness that goes far beyond the realm of the individual, that exists even beyond the perfect stillness within, that melt together with everything else.
And in fact, many problems arise from the awareness that this “I” is an individual entity separated from the Source, which is the One Consciousness.
In other words, various problems arise from the “ignorance” of the unconscious ego, which is said to exceed 90% of human consciousness at the mind level, where this awareness “I” that is not essence is.
Therefore, to transcend the limits of this unconsciousness and reach self-transcendence, that is, to transcend the visible separate “individual” ego realm and become one again with the Source, which is one consciousness, is where the first gateway to our spiritual awakening is.
In this way, only when this personal “I” awareness we have transcends the “individual” will we begin to work functioning true problem-solving abilities.

“Money” is not something that gives us security or guarantees abundance just because we have it.
The abundance that the mind sees when it is attached to this concept of “money” is material and guarantees an unrealistic and baseless security to the existence of an individual separated from the source.
When we think, for instance, that we want money, however, that is an indication that we are focusing our attention on lack, and like everything else, when we subconsciously believe in lack (the endpoint of which is death, the death of the body, which means the end), no matter how much we get what we want, we will always find something else “lacking.”
There will never be peace with that mind, much less abundance or calm happiness.
Nonetheless, the mind (ego) will question “How can I get that kind of abundance?” and keeps to look outside for an easy way to get it.
In other words, it seeks only the result without the process.
In fact, however, any seeming “result” is always transient, and anything that appears to be a “result” always involves a process.
And as a matter of fact, this “process” is all we experience when we are in the “now.”
But these facts are drowned out by the greed that comes from the ignorance of unconscious ego, which is not our essence.
When the subject of our awareness is the mind (ego), all of this will be done as doership, even if the objects of our desires based on “lack => death (end)” are various, and as a result, whether the object is “money,” “spiritual awakening,” or anything else, and even if we have transient pleasures, they will ultimately be illusion, and we will never reach the abundance that never changes.
Beyond that way of being, there will be nothing but the illusion of the unchanging mind.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
The subject of Doership is always the mind (ego) as a separated individual, and the basis of this mind (ego) is the assumption or belief such as that “I am different from others,” “I can see things better than others,” or “I always do things right,” and by being obsessed with this belief, we unconsciously fall into self-deception.
But this is precisely what the unconscious ego does, that is, it is completely unaware of the more than 90% of our consciousness that is unconscious.
Within less than 10% of this awareness, even if we did everything 100% perfectly, what are we doing during the other 90% of unconsciousness?
In fact, if we were to try to reason 365 days a year, all hours of the day, to perfect our ego control, most of us would come to realize how exhausting it would be and that it would be impossible to complete.
Otherwise, through unconscious self-deception, we would end up only with an interpretation that suits us.
Thus, as a matter of fact, the mind (ego) has no connection to the perfect stillness within, and thus, there is no natural humility to realize what we are doing as it is, and thus, it will keep to mislead us in relative duality forever and ever.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
On the other hand, when we actually reach out something, such as self-actualization, we are in fact completely detached from the mind (ego), which is the subject of doership, the subject who is trying to get there.
In other words, the natural occurrence of detachment from the mind (ego) is that an essential for reaching somewhere, and there is no attempt to let go of the mind, for instance, or even the awareness that one has arrived somewhere, it is a state of complete egolessness.
Thus, it is when we are completely detached from the object of desire and from the awareness of the “I” that is doing it that, in fact, the greatest effects are manifested.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Self-transcendence, likewise, inevitably occurs when one is in a state of complete egolessness.
In other words, the essence, consciousness itself, God (the ultimate love), is reached without any knowledge, idea, concept, nor any interpretation, nor any tangible proof, through the perfect stillness within, that is, only when there is nothing outward information that can be the known support of the dual world.
It is found in the innermost depths of oneself, beyond the void, as a result of egoless search for the innermost depths of oneself, and when everything is renounced, including the mind, from which it originates.
There is no essence (God) anywhere else.
At that time, the “I” as an individual disappears from awareness, and the personal “I” inevitably disappears from any expression as well.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Thus, the fact that the true seeker can find the same one consciousness, God without being influenced by anything outside is one manifestation of God’s omnipresence.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
On the other hand, if we do not discard even some of the knowns of the mind, we will unconsciously find information that is consistent with the knowns, and we will just interpret the knowns as being correct, without learning anything new, and of course will be without expanding or deepening awareness at all.
It also means that we unknowingly come to lose the humility by a way of denying the possibility that there may be a world we do not yet know, and as a result, we will keep to be so ignorant of ourselves that we will not even realize what we are doing actually.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Continue practicing meditation, self-observation, or anything else in the complete stillness within, day after day, you will become so egoless that you will be not even aware that you are doing it as well.
Our essence is never separated from consciousness itself (God), was until now, and always will be that which we are. (OM 🙏)
