“EACH ONE’S SPIRITUAL AWAKENING JOURNEY.”

Each and everyone of us has a number of spiritual assignments, and without facing them, no one will ever reach a state called “enlightenment” or “nirvana,” the ultimate spiritual awakening as Absolute Reality, let alone transcend duality.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

In fact, until we are able to fully surrender the ego and follow inner guidance of unknown, which is far beyond the mind (ego), through sincerely facing ourselves and come to an awareness of the fact that “I, personally, know nothing,” we are all unknowingly attached to the mind (ego) or body, and thereby, we desperately keep to control that separate and isolated “personal I” and personal life, sometimes tricking that manifest mind (which is less than about 10% of total consciousness) even for trying to become somebody.

On the other hand, no matter how much we can fool awareness of “manifest mind (ego)” prior to spiritual awakening (e.g., by trying to think we are spiritually awakened even when in fact we reach no spiritual awareness of any kind), the essence, consciousness itself is always continues to observe everything and anything, including all facts that the mind (ego) does not want to admit, without missing anything or resting at all.

However, no matter how egotistic the behavior of the mind (ego) may be, it never interrupts it with any one-sided judgments in any way, just simply continues to observe the whole process.

This is, so to speak, “the eye of God.”

That is, the essence, The Self, as this spiritual guidance for us, that is always grasping and remembering everything far beyond our personal awareness.

There is no mind (ego) anywhere that can escape this divine eye.

However, it doesn’t mean that there is other entity which is separated from us somewhere that rescues us from suffering by our good deeds (mere doership, actions under personal-awareness), or punishes us by our bad deeds. But rather, it is through our own devotion by each spiritual awareness to surrender the ego completely and follow the guidance of the Unknown, The Self, that we can come to be saved from all of life’s hardships.

The various choices in this spiritual journey to “enlightenment” or “nirvana” that we work throughout several lifetimes, whatever we may take, are equally under complete freedom on every occasion, and there is no such thing as waste or failure in any of them.

Everything, including all the mind’s (ego’s) choices, such as getting intoxicated by pleasant stories, dreaming of becoming somebody, the dependence on something, or expecting as if the “inevitable” could be changed, is all part of the spiritual assignment that each of us needs, and that will eventually lead us to the moment when we completely surrender the ego.

At that point, we finally come to the full realization (i.e., complete ego-surrendering) of the fact that we can never fool the essence, The Self, which is far beyond the manifest mind (ego), far beyond personal self, and that everything spiritual is far beyond the power of our personal will.

Any thing leading up to it is necessary for each of us, and everything is outside the realm of any judgement, such as superior or inferior, right or wrong.

For instance, if we become not aware through our own actions that it is not in alignment with “the inner guidance of the unknown,” which is invisible to the physical eye and has no external guarantees, but actually which each of us must find by groping through innermost stillness alone, how can we possibly know (grasp, or comprehend) that it is not in alignment with “the inner guidance of the unknown”?

“Living” or “spiritual awakening” are completely different things from any ideas or images, and can never be grasped by mere knowledge.

In fact, nothing happens within us that is not necessary for us.

Therefore, we must devote ourselves to the cultivation of an eye that observes everything as it is, without any judgment or comparison, just as it is.

Leave everything that happens outside there as they are, no matter how much it disturbs you, as your own responsibility (with the awareness that the internal changes caused by external phenomena has nothing to do with the outside, but are necessary for the deepening of your own spiritual awakening, even though the ego takes everything personally), remain the mind’s (ego’s) unrealistic habits only inside, and concentrate on observing your internal changes, the only facts.

As for the outside, just the same way, simply remain a witness to the phenomena without any judgment.

In fact, the more we focus inwardly, the deeper our respective spiritual awakenings will become.

In this way, you yourself let be guided one by one by the voiceless of the innermost stillness, the inner guidance of the unknown, which is always most assuredly to the higher.

Witness the steady lifting of your awareness from mind (ego) to absolute reality, by the actual awareness that comes through every failures of relative duality. (OM 🙏)
