“ENLIGHTENMENT”

Enlightenment is not a requirement of making the world a better place, nor is it something that one needs to attain.

Instead, it is simply a matter of realizing that views such as “something bad is happening and must be corrected, and everyone must be better,” or “ I must attain enlightenment” are merely thoughts, not based on reality.

Conversely, being enlightened does not mean that one has a special role to play in guiding people or saving the world, nor does it mean that people who do not appear to be enlightened are somehow inferior.

In fact, ultimately, one can never save another.

This is because, in the first place, there is no other anywhere as the mind thinks of, and what appear to be separate others are merely clouds floating in the unchanging field of consciousness as emptiness, just seeming to represent different experiences. However, the essence remains the indivisible consciousness as the emptiness itself.

How on earth can The Self, the consciousness as the emptiness, save this indivisible emptiness?

In the first place, the “someone who needs to be saved” is the illusory self “I” that lies deep in the memories as the mind (ego), and is nothing more than a projection of that illusion.

In other words, whatever views you hold of reality in thought, realize that they are merely interpretations by the mind (ego), distortions of reality as it is, and if you can detach from all such illusions and just remain as pure awareness, you as non-self will realize that there are no problems anywhere.

Everything merely appears to be happening in the field of consciousness, and everything the mind(ego) thinks that you see and feel is always temporary and impermanent, something to simply appear and disappear.

The reality that the mind (ego) sees is merely a projection or interpretation of assumptions and misperceptions—phenomena that only appear to be so—taken as fact. It is nothing more than the mind (ego), which is merely thought, is desperately trying to bring some kind of self-worth onto nothingness, as if it were a personal problem or a problem for humanity.

This is the universe that the mind (ego) calls reality, and is the “emptiness.”

The reality that the mind (ego) is making a fuss about problems, in fact, has no substance whatsoever, and no problems whatsoever exist. (OM 🙏)
