“IF ONE STOPS LYING, THE TRUTH WILL BE REVEALED.”

The “lies” referred to here are not conscious lies, but unconscious one.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Unconsciously identifying with the mind (ego, thoughts), emotions, and body, we unconsciously strive to believe in various lies.

These lies include, for example, the fantasy of love, and the belief that we can become better human through effort and improvement (for example, by acquiring various qualifications or intellectually and conceptually understanding profound matters).

The fantasy of love includes everything from a fateful encounter to a long-lasting marriage (partnership), having children, or building a happy family. Much of this hides an unconscious escape from reality, such as a craving for oneness with another, and an attachment to and projection of an unconscious self-centered delusion (thought) of “idealized love”—a craving for acceptance and being understood as they are that was unmet in childhood.

Furthermore, if we carefully inquire the depths of ourselves to see where this craving for oneness with another comes from, it will be ultimately seen through that its very beginning lies in “separation.”

Beginning with this (mis)perception of “separation” in early childhood, we learn through experience that in order to be acknowledged (accepted) and become one with the separate entity (the psychological, mental and physical object of our dependence, as caregiver), we find that we must first align ourselves with their values.

This is because, when this fails, the child unavoidably faces, to varying degrees, their existence comes in a crisis of psychological, mental and physical denial (ultimately, “death”).

Thus, this “fear of denial of existence (ultimately death)” becomes the most intense for everyone, and it becomes deeply ingrained in the deepest unconscious.

In this way, the duality that begins with the separation of “self” and “other” is increasingly reinforced.

Furthermore, this learning of “fear,” which begins with “separation,” continues to profoundly affect us even into adulthood until it is clearly recognized as a fact through clarity.

One of effects is that, through that learning process, we develop a very strong “fear of the denial of existence (ultimately death),” and due to the strong impact, we become unconsciously conditioned to act like others. For example, when given instructions (orders) by someone in a higher position, we will blindly follow the instructions rather than looking at the invisible facts that are there with the clarity of innermost stillness.

In fact, it inevitably manifeats as unconscious behavior by unawareness due to ignorance we all unconsciously cultivate. However, that’s why this fear of death is said that ultimate and it is one of spiritual challenges for us with the deepest part of the unconscious.

In this way, for example, things like top-down orders in war, the development of collective discrimination, exclusion movements, and riots, or all else unconscious consent and (re)actions, and even smallest type of it, personal denial of others and resistance to reality, of what is, all stem from people’s unconscious “fear.”

However, the mind (ego) ignores the natural law that “Things always happen as they are meant to,” and keep rejecting reality for what is. And it manifests like it keeps criticizing what has already happened, and clinging to the illusion of the future can be changed by thoroughly cornering evil it consideres, even if the (re)actions of others were unconscious.

Without even inwardly looking at one’s own unconscious.

Moreover, this further reinforces the illusion of “separation,” which is inevitably the root of all suffering.

However, this doesn’t ever mean that we have to stop these things because they’re bad, nor do we need to force ourselves to believe in oneness, nor do we need to believe (memorize) the words of some supposedly correct person. All we need to do is carefully look deepst within ourselves, and in doing so, see through each lie, and ultimately, the unconscious misperception of “separation.”

When we turn inward and carefully observe and inquire each thing, within that silence, there will be no longer a doer, nor even a observer as a personal “I”.

When seeing, there is only seeing; when recognizing something, there is only recognition. There is no one as a separated.

Therefore, naturally, there are no concepts, and no interpretations within.

This non-self is the most natural state of existence, essence.

In this way, at the moment of seeing through (gaining insight into) various lies and falsehoods, because we are unconsciously and spontaneously surrendering the personal “self,” and as a result, the lies that were previously unconscious become apparent, and its clearness naturally makes those lies unnecessary. The various suffering that begins with the separation of “I” and “other” thus naturally comes to an end, without any effort whatsoever, merely seeing through.

In other words, knowing thyself means dismantling various inplicit bias as assumptions and beliefs of “this is me” or “this is mine” and as a result, the disappearance of that false personal “I-self.”

And what remains is never nothingness, but always oneness, openness—a formless and no fixed point, but unchanging field where infinite possibilities are unfolding, pure consciousness that transcends even time and place. (OM 🙏)
