“THERE ARE NO OTHERS.”

Just as there is no such thing as “I,” there are no such things as “others.”

In other words, there are no other people who need to be awakened, and there is also no awakened “you/I.”

In fact, no one needs to be saved, and no one also has a role to play in saving others in any way.

All that awareness sees is the expression of consciousness through the form of “you/me” that appears in the field of consciousness.

The “I” mind (ego) unconsciously interprets mere phenomena based on previous experiences and recasts it into a convincing (or seemingly convincing for the mind (ego)) story that sustains the illusion of the duality of the mind (ego).

Thus, the “I” mind (ego), wanting to believe it has awakened, remains attached to some kind of spiritual experience and becomes endlessly addicted to that story and its efforts to change the reality that the unconscious mind (ego) has projected.

And again, it further strengthens identification with the illusory “I” mind (ego).

In this way, the “I” mind (ego) can never see reality as it really is.

The truth that others do not exist applies not only to non-duality, but also to literal duality.

The “other” we see who trapped in the belief that duality is real, is merely a projection of ideas and thoughts about the “me/I” we don’t want to see, the “me/I” that shouldn’t exist, or conversely, the “me/I” we should be proud of, the “me/I” we should worship.

There is no substance there.

The story of the “I/me” mind (ego) will keeps trapping us, with unconscious mind (ego) that blindly clings to perception of existence on the “I/me” of a separate individual, until we as the awareness completely abide at the truth that there are no others and at the awareness that never unaware of anything, not even for a moment.

The illusion of freedom from this prison finally dismantles the moment the awareness realizes that there was no prison anywhere to begin with.

At that moment, the illusion we had previously, blindly believed to be reality without verification by clarity fundamentally collapses.

And yet, thoughts, emotions, and experiences continue to appear and disappear in the field of consciousness, unchanged.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

There are at least two stages to the awakening of the awareness. While the illusory “I” mind (ego) that never disappears by realzation clings to that experience of “realization” and claims its ownership, the dual world unfolds, unchanged from before. What we keep creating new stories without even realizing it, by clinging that is resistance of unconscious mind (ego) is the first stage, a state of unconsciousness where the ego is still identified with the self as before, as if the illusory “I” have awakend, that is, where we are trapped by the deep rooted unconscious.

There is no freedom there yet.

Freedom, liberation from the unconscious (ego), true awakening, means that awareness continuously remains aware of everything. Furthermore, no matter what stories the mind (ego) reframes phenomena, thoughts, emotions, and experiences into, the awareness witnesses all of them appear and disappear, but it never takes them as real at all, and continues to observe them all as the mere phenomenon of impermanence purely.

Therein lies the very unwavering, infinite freedom.

One by one, stop telling yourself lies.

Completely.

Ask yourself, “Why am I clinging to that thought, that story?”

Ask yourself, “Why am I clinging to that experience?”

Furthermore, ask yourself, “What on earth is this “I”?”

Determine whether all these things, thoughts, (re)actions, or experiences seamlessly align with the awareness of infinite that never claims ownership or who the “I” is, or puts conditions on anyone, vast openness, and complete, unconditional love one by one, by only heart that definitly senses it, not by thinking about it and even not by interpreted secondhand spiritual teachings, but by seeing straight through it with clarity of the innermost stillness.

Continue to detach the awareness from the illusory “I” one by one, by not creating new delusions such as “this effort will eventually end” or “if I can do this my wish will come true,” or by recognizing such lies purely. (OM 🙏)
