“ULTIMATE (GOD’S) LOVE IS NON-DUAL AND TRANSCENDENTAL.”

Ultimate (God’s) love, in other words, the essence, is non-dual, far beyond the world of the mind (ego) and its imagination, and is unconditional embracing acceptance and at the same time an immeasurable profound compassion.

There is nothing personal there, and there is no such thing as “separation” or “distinction.”

There is only one consciousness (God), and no matter how it appears to the mind (ego), everything is a manifestation of ultimate love (God).

Therefore, ultimate love (God) does not make relative, dualistic judgments about anything, nor does it change its response based on that judgment.

This does not mean that it “does not selectively judge,” but rather that it “cannot judge” because every being is the same one consciousness, ultimate love.

In other words, when a sage explains the truth by verbalizing its difference, for example, “This is the truth and that is an illusion,” this does not mean at all that “the truth is right and the illusion is wrong” as the mind (ego) thinks.

Therefore, the mind (ego) always react to anything by based on the mind’s (ego’s) values, whereas the ultimate love (God), the essence, whether it seems negative or positive from the mind (ego)’s point of view, will never selectively act as hurting anything or anyone psychologically or physically or in any way, such as to feel anger toward anything, challenge someone to a fight, resent, despise, try to correct, punish, or deny, and it will never make something or someone special as the truth, or become attached to them as if they belonged to an individual, or give them rewards, as well.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Furthermore, even if something is done in the name of “God” or “love”, the words and actions of the mind (ego) that only understands “God”, “love” or “truth” conceptually and intellectually do not have the vastness and profoundness, which are inherent in the essence, the selfless and unconditionally embracing love, or the warmth and abundance that spontaneously liberates those who touch it to freedom.

For example, the stubbornness and narrow-mindedness of the mind (ego) that speaks of correct “spiritual teachings” or illusions that are generally called “love” but are actually “attachment” are harsh toward both oneself and others, but if we trace it back to its origin, there is deep unhealed wound (memories), and it has simply desperately been resisting the unchangeable facts of past as in the name of such “rightness” and “love”, in an attempt to change the world and people that is projected the past, to unconsciously try to heal itself, and this is always based on dogmatic and self-righteous judgments based on the one-sided interpretation of the mind (ego).

Such stubbornness protects the mind (ego, illusion), on the other hand, because the mind (ego) cannot see the facts as they are, we can hardly know about ourselves as it is, and because of this closed nature, we even unknowingly keep ourselves away the opportunity to come into contact with the infinite possibilities of ultimate love (God).

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

The truth (God) can only be comprehended when we completely surrender our identification with the mind (ego), by directly grasping the non-dual world with pure heart, without relying on any prior knowledge or experience or judgment.

On the flip side, the truth can never be known by the mind (ego).

Therefore, it is also not the mind (ego) that can grasp the difference between whether something is the truth or not, but always only the essence through the innermost stillness.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Attachment, whether romantic, sexual, or psychological, is an unconscious attempt to fill the deep-rooted sense of incompleteness or insufficiency that the mind (ego) has, and at the same time, lookinng at it from another angle, it actually has a vast number of opportunity for spiritual challenges that can work on within its human relationship.

Nevertheless, when such a relationship seems to be going well, the mind (ego) can feel happy, but it is always temporary due to condition the mind think it should.

But eventually, there comes a moment when it no longer works well, and the mind (ego) that is attached to its own thoughts will resist the natural flow of things, such as by criticizing the other person and blaming, “Why are you disturbing my happiness?” or by trying to control the other person by bargaining or using psychological, physical, sexual, or economic power.

Many of us do this several times, when there is eventually nowhere left to go, we finally begin to turn our attention inward from outward, and that is, as a matter of fact, the most spritually sublime moment, a gift from the ultimate love (God).

At that time, we finally unintentionally detach from the mind (ego) and begin self-observation and self-inquiry in the innermost stillness.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

By the way, even though the mind (ego) is afraid of facing the truth that it vaguely senses, and can always find any number of excuses, which is unrestrictedly free, to postpone facing itself. However, if we come to realize it and may try to change ourselves through willpower or effort, it also becomes a resistance to the fact as we are, and means that it creates an another opportunity for spiritual challenge.

The fact is that everything related to divine spiritual awakening inevitably always begins to happen as natural law, when we let go of all efforts, control, or desires of the mind (ego).

Looking at it from another angle, all such efforts by the mind (ego) are actually done by us in order to realize the valuable awareness that is most necessary for our own spiritual awakening: “It is no longer necessary.”

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

The people and various phenomena we each encounter, in other words, reality, are all mirrors that reflect our inner selves.

This does not mean that if there is a problem inside, the problem will appear in reality, but rather that the impersonal consciousness itself is experiencing various spiritual awakening journeys through various ways of being using the “present life” and the “mortal body.”

Therefore, it can say that people and phenomena that are difficult for each of us to accept provide us with an opportunity to face ourselves (spiritual challenges) in order to acknowledge and accept the attachment (fact) of the mind (ego) that lies behind the difficulty of acceptance.

It can say as well that we are given the opportunity to surrender the ego and practice being in a selfless state, the essence as the pure as we can find God in any way of being and any phenomenon.

On the other hand, it is not our job at all for spiritual awakening, that is, for God, to think about or outwardly take action on the problems the mind perceives of people or the world, or what is needed to improve

On the contrary, we need to ask ourselves where on earth the arrogance of thinking that such a thing is necessary or that we can achieve it comes from.

This inward-attention way is the very path of God, and people and phenomena which are difficult for each of us to accept, are the hardest spiritual challenges, and at the same time, the more sincerely and humbly we face them, the deeper spiritual awakening we will attain.

This is because all existence is ourselves, and is a manifestation of ultimate love (God). (OM 🙏)
