“AS THE ESSENCE”

When we detach from the mind (ego) and abide in the innermost stillness, we will become aware that “The Self” is a selfless entity without any “I” at all, as formless consciousness existing without any separation in a vast, timeless and spaceless space, which means that we will become aware that “The Self” experiences all experiences through our physical body from far behind and deep within the “I” that the mind (ego) is aware of as the self.

It is without any “I” or “mine” concepts, nor is bound by or influenced by any memories, but it simply exists purely as the omnipresent consciousness, the essence.

This essence, this consciousness, is always there, without beginning or end, as the perfect wholeness.

And it continues to restlessly observe all “individual selves” and phenomena that the mind (ego) does not even perceive.

We are all constantly given the invaluable treasure of every experience that allows us to become aware of this Self, which exists beyond the innermost stillness. It means, depending on how we react to a mere phenomenon, or respond to it, we are constantly given opportunities of comprehension the relationship between interactive ever-changing phenomena and the awareness that precedes our reaction or response.

However, this experience is never “personal,” and of course, nor is it knowledge, and intellectual or conceptual understanding.

That is why, no matter how much correct knowledge we possess, we continue to make mistakes. And that is also why, when we embrace each mistake as a fact through our mistakes can we begin the path to spiritual awakening.

Become aware of this profundity, this perfect beauty as the wholeness of the impersonal world.

This wholeness is with the possibility of the unknown, freedom, which encompasses even the unimaginable.

It means, no matter how we perceive ourselves or what spiritual path we walk, it is impossible to become aware of these truths, without embracing all aspects of the mind (ego) – the illusions as emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual beings.

This is because consciousness transcends all illusions, and in order to transcend these illusions, that is, to inquire much deeper into ourselves beyond such illusions, we first need to be aware that they exist inside (not knowledge, but self-awareness).

This is why, when we are able to surrender all resistance and embrace all the illusions the mind (ego) sees, as having been created by ourselves in this life to become aware of The Self, the spiritual path inevitably opens up.

On the other hand, the self-perception of being separate and isolated and the identification with the mind (ego) are reflected in various biased and the same superficial recognition of the world and things as the self-perception.

To fill the gaps in the illusion that we are inadequate, or to escape from the unfathomable fear that arises from the recognition that something is missing with ourselves, the mind (ego) creates various desires, and by satisfying these desires, the mind (ego) further deceives ourselves.

In an attempt to overcome our own inadequacies, we increase our physical, sexual, intellectual, or financial power, and by considering as if we become someone, we unknowingly stray deeper and deeper into the forest of illusion.

Or, we try to do the right thing, while we correct the mistakes of others and society, and simultaneously monitoring ourselves strictly, we often become obsessed with control, believing as if fulfilling humanity’s ideals together all the people will bring peace in this world.

Until we finally become aware that there is nothing further ahead that way, it will continue to keep us from the truth, sometimes it can keep over multiple lifetimes.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

It’s always good, to ask ourselves, “What for exactly am I doing this?”

Or, “Why am I doing it?”, “Who am I doing it for?”

Further this question, we can come to discern the difference between the mind (ego), which can be good or evil that changes depending on the situation, and the essence, which transcends these categories, with clarity in the innermost stillness.

Moreover, it is important to be always attentive that the cleverness of the mind (ego) that uses “goodness” and “doing” to easily deceive us.

This is because the “individual self” called the mind (ego) needs to survive as a mind (ego) because the various deep sadnesses and unhealed pains in its memories, that it continues to carry and that have not been resolved.

But at the same time, the mind (ego) has a intense fear that once these sadnesses and unhealed pains are resolved, we will difinitely not need the illusion the mind (ego) believes itself to be – the illusion that it is proof of its existence.

This is why deception is needed for the mind (ego), and why so many of us unknowingly keep to struggle with ourselves, or with someone who the mind (ego) projects the illusion of as ourselves.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Many of us unknowingly keep to walk on a Möbius strip for generations, for an immeasurable period.

Because we blindly believe that this is the only path due to losing connection with clarity in the innermost stillness.

But the Self, the truth, in fact, always exists where the entire Möbius strip can be seen, outside of that strip. (OM 🙏)
