“FROM THE DECEPTION OF RELATIVE DUALITY TO THE ABSOLUTE REALITY OF NON-DUALITY.”
The very perception that “the mind (ego) is me” is false, and thus it is not that the mind (ego) will become a “good person” as meeting the standards of God who is separate from us and somewhere above through effort, nor will the mind (ego) someday attain spiritual awakening.
Whatever self-awareness we are in right now, we are nothing more than consciousness itself, God, the Ultimate Love.
Nevertheless, from the fact, due to our worldview based on projection and interpretation of the past in unconsciousness which is said to account for more than 90% of human consciousness while awake, that we stubbornly and unknowingly believe that “the mind (ego) and body are the self,” and in addition, also from the reflexive reactions, as a result, we ourselves make the problems in our own lives.
Furthermore, the separate and isolated self-awareness gives rise to “attachment” to others, which is nothing like Ultimate Love, and obsession with various desires of the mind (ego) as well
Such stubborn and distorted eyes not only perceive the body as the self based on preconception by visual information, but we are also unable to see even a glimpse of the various manifestations of divinity before us.
Therefore, “spiritual awakening (the path to God)” is to unravel such the hardened perception, to surrender the superfluous, and to return to the pure impersonal awareness of “you (as The Self)” as you are, and that is the ultimate goal.
Thus, it is never that the mind (ego) will one day awaken.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
In the process of spiritual awakening, we will encounter our own various self-deceptions (ego deceptions).
For instance, no matter how much the mind (ego) has gained spiritual knowledge and says “I am not the mind (ego),” if there is no actual spontaneous transformation, nor reality change (return to its original state as absolute reality), nor even we naturally find divinity in people or see The Self in them, then it can be said that there is even any deepening of spiritual awakening, let alone a transcendence of duality as the enlightenment of The Self.
And yet, although we who still identify mind (ego) with the self often cling to such self-deceptions (ego deceptions) by the mind (ego) out of unacknowledged fear, but looking at it from another angle, it means that we are gaining further experiences that we need in order to be able to work on that spiritual challenge one day with determination.
Nevertheless, sometimes, still trapped in duality, for instance, we unwittingly interpret spiritual teachings and even preach them to others, believing that they are true.
However, it is nothing special. Self-deception (ego deception) by the mind (ego) has been repeated many times in all forms throughout human history, and it is nothing new.
What is important is not to see it as a mistake or failure in terms of relative duality, but to turn attention to that even through such our own self-deceptions (ego deceptions), we can take it as an opportunity to actually work on our own spiritual challenges. And furthermore, regardless of whether it is a deception or not, depending on us who are still identified with the mind (ego), our unwittnling projections and interpretations of the past as before may even create anew sparks of problem for others, for instance, but we need to realize that it can be an opportunity for each of us by our own decision to face the spiritual challenge to lead our awareness to a more profound level, or another opportunity to remain in the awareness of Absolute Reality as The Self.
In the end, it does not matter at all whether there is any deception or false there or not, each of us can always change course with new awareness when necessary, if we continue our self-observation and self-inquiry in the innermost stillness, always humbly and sincerely, without any judgment at all.
Ultimately, consciousness itself, God, Ultimate Love, is non dual, and completely unconditional acceptance of all ways of being, so we as impersonal existence, purely become no comparison or distinction at all, and completely free from any judgment (that is, free from even whether or not, spiritual awakend).
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
The reason spiritual awakening is so simple, yet so difficult for many of us to reach actual enlightenment, is that we are unaware of our unconsciousness, and many of us do not know the innermost stillness to become aware of that unconsciousness.
And so we fall into traps of thought (the trap of the ego) again and again, and even more unwittingly deceive ourselves over and over again into sometimes thinking as if we have become somebody, and we keep to unknowingly walk on the Möbius strip of deception by the mind (ego) endlessly, until we fully realize about it.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Nevertheless, it is always our own choice whether or not to become aware of this Möbius strip and get off of it, and even such experience is necessary for each of us.
And any choice at any point is always the best for each of us with no doubt.
In fact, none of those choices can ever be a mistake or a failure to consciousness itself, to the impersonal God.
Because ultimately, every choice is necessary for realizing God Itself. (OM 🙏)
