“WHEN YOU ARE READY, THE INEVITABLE WILL BEGIN TO OPEN.”

Enlightenment or the deepening of spiritual awakening require the courage to continue facing oneself, and the courage to discard one by one all the (illusory) anchors, such as mental, psychological, physical, or economical, that you have attached to your “personal self,” and to walk alone on a path that has no guarantees, while being guided by the unknown.

This is because enlightenment is not the conceptual intellectual understanding of spiritual teachings by the mind (ego), the spiritual activities performed by the “personal self” as the doer, or the choice of actions as the doer that are considered right.

On the contrary, it is there that each of us should ask ourselves.

In other words, you yourself must clarify, who is the one who has such conceptual intellectual understanding, or who is the doer who is aware that one is performing spiritual activities, or who is the one who is committed to choosing the right actions.

And for this reason, we need a pure longing that is not the desire of the mind (ego) to “know true love” or “understand the truth,” an innocent interest in ourselves that is so passionate that it selflessly goes beyond even the awareness that the mind (ego) is doing something, and also a straightforward and honest curiosity that spontaneously immerses us in self-inquiry and self-observation, so much so that we do not even listen for a moment to any fears that the mind (ego) may have, such as the immeasurable anxiety that comes from abandoning the foundation that we thought had supported us up until then, or the loneliness that comes from walking alone on a pathless road, even if all of them are all illusion.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

We all carry various wounds, and inevitably we identify ourselves with the mind (ego) and become more attached to our “personal self.” However, because of this, we are sure to attract experiences that are necessary for each of us to deepen spiritual awakening every day.

In other words, it is precisely because of this unconsciousness (ego) that we are able to experience the quiet joy of discovering the essence as The Self, through awareness of the mind (ego), illusion.

In fact, if you have ever gained some kind of awareness through self-observation or self-inquiry, you will be able to understand the profound, quiet joy of being connected to the Source, even if there is no gurantee, and it is difficult to describe and is different from a sense of security nor bliss nor anything, by the heart that surely is grasping that it is the definite path of The Self. At the moment of such awareness and when the inevitable transformation that comes from that awareness occurs spontaneously, that is, in other words, the awareness gained through self-observation and self-inquiry in the innermost stillness, without any judgment, inevitably changes the way you perceive things and even the way of being.

This transformation of being, for example, from a state of being where one is greatly concerned with outward, such as “where am I on the path?” to a state where “this moment is the path itself, that is the truth, and is the place where we should be fully, cherishing and paying careful attention from the heart,” is a transformation from duality to non-duality, in which one surrenders not only the sense of the “personal self” as the mind (ego) but also resistance to all phenomena, and it is actually transformation on a dimensional level that goes far beyond the choice made by the mind (ego).

Therefore, for example, when we encounter some kind of problem, which is actually spiritual challenge for each of us, it is necessary to humbly accept that we ourselves have attracted it, and by facing the fact, to unconditionally acknowledge and forgive the mind (ego) that is entangled there, and fundamentally dismantle the illusion that we have held.

Conversely, there is no need to reflect on any reaction caused by the mind (ego), or try to change oneself, as a doer, at all.

This is because the very recognition of being a doer, or thinking that changing is necessary, is an illusion.

Furthermore, there is no need thinking such thing as “I wish I had realized it sooner,” nor is there “I was stupid for not realizing it before.”

Because the mortal body is an illusion, in the first place, then the life of the “personal self,” or the karma and afterlife that we carry over as punishment, are all illusions.

Everything is The Self, and at the same time, it is also the “personal self,” that fears the end of life, or that thinks that it should be attained enlightenment, or that tries to accomplish something. In fact, everything exists as the only one consciousness, which is melted all together.

What this truth shows is that everything the mind sees is a spiritual setup that we create as consciousness itself, subconsciously, so that we ourselves, who are always creating all kinds of suffering by identifying with and attaching to the mind (ego), can unintentionally detach the mind (ego) and become aware that we are actually The Self itself.

And truly, everything in our daily lives is God’s guidance, a divine gift that each of us should be grateful to receive.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Even if people see the same thing or hear the same thing, what they receive is different for each person.

Just as what people grasp in the game of telephone is slightly different from the first person to deliver the message, the last person to hear it, and everyone in between, each person has a different spiritual challenge and is at a different stage of spiritual awakening at any given time. There are no shortcomings or superiorities or inferiorities anywhere or anyone.

Each person simply recognizes what they most need spiritually at that time, subconsciously.

For example, even with this passage, the content received will vary greatly depending on the reader.

Some people may dismiss it as “Stupid,” others may be intrigued and think “I don’t understand, but what does it mean?”, others may get irritated and think “This guy’s a liar,” others may think “Exactly,” or others may not even start reading it.

That’s all fine. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Everything is right.

There is nothing wrong way of perception.

Realization always comes at the best time for each person.

Moreover, the things that are important to each of us, the fragments of it, are subconsciously stored away, without any intention or effort of the mind (ego), in a certain space deep within our consciousness, and there is certainly the divine way as natural law, that we are suddenly remembered it when we are ready for it, that is, when the pieces for each person needs fit perfectly into place.

This is always going on silently.

So there is no need to be ashamed or proud about differences in timing.

All you have to do is, first and foremost, become aware of the words and actions of your “personal self.”

Then, one day, you will suddenly realize, not because some sage said so, or because it is written in some scripture, but “Ah, I don’t need this anymore,” or “I see, this is what the sage was talking about,” when you found something which has always been inward, as if you feel that all the pieces you need are in place.

There will be no longer the mind (ego), such as any thought “I can’t do everything the sages say, so I’ll leave it as it is for myself,” or any desires that are ultimately born from “fear (of death),” wanting to escape sadness and suffering, wanting to become someone who can change the world, or wanting to attain enlightenment, at that moment.

At that moment, as natural law, the inevitable path to The Self, will be already begining to open before you, who surrendered the mind (ego) without intention or effort of the mind (ego). (OM 🙏)
