“THERE IS NO INDIVIDUAL, NOR DOER.”
Spiritual awakening and enlightenment begin not by thinking, but by continously observing oneself as it is, with self-observation, meditation, or self-inquiry through the clarity of inner stillness of a certain level of awareness.
It is about witnessing all of one’s thoughts, emotions, and reactions as they are, and seeing through their roots.
And then, with that true vision, reveal the absolute reality, The Self, that is only obscured by these illusions.

On the other hand, some easy traps of the mind (ego) are, without actual observing oneself, simply acquiring knowledge, just thinking, memorizing the words of sages, and collecting correctness the mind (ego)believes. Or practicing something spiritual, but they are, in fact, based on interpretations and focusing only on outward. Or becoming addicted to memories of “I” or “mine” experiences, such as temporary mystical experiences.
In fact, it is just to become intoxicated with ideas, thoughts, or doings with perceiving them as belongings to the individual mind (ego), and we are only identifying ourselves with them.
In such cases, we compulsively assert, “I accomplished this” or “I know this more than anyone,”and argue about who is right and what is right, desperately trying to defeat others or be recognized as equals.
Or, we make demand that others adopt the ideals as happiness, peace, or love the mind (ego) fantasies and believes we “should” achieve, and strive ourselves lots of efforts.
As if that is the path of love (truth).
However, these are all lies, mere stories told by the mind (ego). In reality, no such doer exists anywhere.
They are merely disguises and deceptions created by the mind (ego) with unconscious self-recognition of separation, driven by believing the need to be someone. Ultimately, they are identification with an imaginary doer, an addiction to fantasy narratives.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
However, we must be careful not to bring judgments of good or evil into this, simply because it is “wrong.”
Who judges it?
There is no judgment whatsoever in absolute reality, truth, or non-duality.
And there are only manifestations of divinity.
Conversely, if one would be unable to see this truth clearly, it reveals that there is an identification with the mind (ego) that sees separation with others and tells for it to be true. And without realizing it, and attachment to that perception and clinging with value system that based on them, creates the illusion of problems.
In other words, these illusions of problems and resistance to what is are actually only recognized as problems because the person reacting to them has some kind of “attachment to illusion,” “identification with them,” “perception of separation,” or “fear,” and unconscious resistance naturally arises from this.
Nevertheless, through the various interconnectedness, whether directly or indirectly, as a matter of fact, in spiritual level, we are all actually always providing each other with opportunities for deeper insight and awareness through those problems and resistance.
That is, all problems, such as conflicts that the mind (ego) wants to eliminate, are actually the most noble opportunities for deeper enlightenment (surrendering identification with the mind-ego) for anyone.
So, whenever we cling to interpretations and projections that these are others’ mistakes, it always only deepens our own identification with illusion.
Therefore, when we feel some resistance to mere phenomena, it is precisely an oportunity to realize that we are actually attached (identified) with something other than the Self. Furthermore, it is to realize that our attempt to remove the problem is the dogmatism and self-righteousness of our unconscious mind (ego) born out of ignorance lacking true vision.
This is the very spiritual and profound role of any problem (resistance).

If one observes oneself, sooner or later one will realize the unnaturalness of one’s own words and reactions, that they do not stem from openness (non-self) as universal love.
From this realization, one will be able to see through to the root of one’s own current words and reactions—that they are merely projections and interpretations of the past by the unconscious mind (ego), and even fruiteless attempts to rewrite the past in order to achieve a different outcome than in the past.
And if one can truly see through to the root of their own words and reactions (the mind’s (ego’s) motivations, values, attachment to and identification with the “self” that possesses those values, etc.), inevitable transformation will occur spontaneously.
Then, by that fundamental transformation, one will never again take part in the same argument.
This is not because a sage says “one shouldn’t argue,” or because the mind (ego), disguised as goodness as conscience, does not approve of such words and reactions.
There is no doer there; such a flow arises simply inevitable by natual law.
This is simple purification as the essence, and looking at it from another angle, it is that the surrender of the intentionless and effortless mind (ego) is spontaneously occuring.
In this way, one naturally detach from the mind (ego) as ilusion and simply comes to live as non-self, guided by the inner stillness of the essence.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Thoughts that “individuals exist” simply appear and disappear in a field of consciousness of unfathomable vastness, openness, and perfect wholeness, where infinite possibilities arise. However, the mind (ego) regards this impermanence as eternal, clings to these illusions. This is the reality of duality that the mind (ego) sees.
However, the reality is that individuals as doers do not exist anywhere. (OM 🙏)
