“RESISTANCE CALLED ‘HOPE (EXPECTATION)’”

It is always the mind (ego) as phantom self that seeks “hope (expectation),” something that is not the “now.” This is the “I” mind (ego) that is mistakenly identifies itself with The Self, that is simply attached to certain thoughts that it considers “good.”

Reality based on such unconscious assumptions are always perceived by the person in question who mistakes The Self for the mind as unchangeable facts.

However, in reality, this word of hope (expectaion) is simply a convenient substitution of a refusal to accept reality of what is, “resistance,” and is manipulation that only justifies and glorifies the mind’s (ego’s) words and reactions.

This is, in fact, a manifestation of the most powerful attachment to the insubstantial mind (ego) and a manifestation of one of the most difficult to notice unconscious illusions that the mind (ego) uses to survive.

The mind (ego) loudly keeps proclaiming righteousness and beauty of human saying things like, “I see reality”or “Humanity should be XX,” and in a constant, desperate effort to gain recognition for its personal value, or to have people realize human’s original value of goodness.

In this way, identification with the illusion known as the mind (ego) continues.

But if the mind (ego) is really right, then why hasn’t there been any real change throughout human history, when similar movements have appeared and disappeared in various ways?

The mind (ego) would then respond, “That was the wrong way,” or “I know a better way.”

And so we keep clinging to the desire of the mind (ego) to change and control the world without ever realizing what we are really doing.

However, this identification and attachment with the mind (ego), fueled by a strong desire to control, ultimately reveals, if we go back to its roots, the “fear of ceasing to exist.”

It’s simply another thought, a mere narration repeated in the mind, but we fear recognizing that our personal existence was “meaningless,” at somewhere deep level.

And it is also, in fact, another mere unreal thought.

But, what recognizing that all of the effort has been futile would completely overwhelm the mind (ego) and its fact would make us toward complete surrender of the mind (ego) to unknown, whether the mind (ego) likes it or not.

As a matter of fact, that will precisely be the outcome of powerful identification with and attachment to the mind (ego), and even such subtle resistance as hope (expectation) to the reality of what is, disguised as good, will be also always what will be meant to happen.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

No matter how the world appears to you, no matter how the mind (ego) interprets it and how narrative it repetitively tells you, or how much it claims you need the world to be improved, these are merely thoughts, never real, and in fact, merely misinterpretations of emotions or sensations in the body.

Such the unconscious narration in the mind (ego) repetitively hypnotizes you, manipulates you a sleepwalker, and always believing you are heading towards the exit called hope (expectation), but actually making you going round and round in the same maze.

However, no matter what we see in the eyes, what we must be looking at is the Absolute Reality that always lies beneath all phenomena, and it can only be seen through the clarity of innermost stillness.

The world the mind (ego) sees never changes, and never will.

It is always as it is, impermanent.

Now then, ask yourself, “Who exactly is it that thinks this needs to be changed?”

And “Why?”

Whenever you easily notice the answer in the mind (ego) as usual, ask yourself more profoundly toward the innermost stillness, “Then, how do I know that’s true?”

Thus, continue to inquire ever deeper within yourself.

In this way, when you have thoroughly stripped away all the plausible lies, see through what will remain.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

It will never be the thinker, nor the narrator that keeps talking incessantly in the mind (ego), nor any kind of doer; Mustn’t it be omnipresent consciousness, which is Oneness, Absolute Reality, essence, awareness, which has no form, center or fixed point?

In Reality, it is always never anything else. (OM 🙏)
