“Raw Reality”

The mind (ego)—the “I”—always desperately tries to be(come) someone.

It claims, “I am THIS,” “I am THAT,” “I know the truth,”or “I am an awakened being,” constantly pretending to be one thing after another.

Yet, whether conscious or unconscious, a “pretense” never becomes anything other than a pretense; indeed, a pretense is fundamentally nothing more than an interpretation of something unknown.

The very need for such a pretense is proof that one feels compelled to cloak oneself in these interpretations precisely because one does not directly know the “Self,” thinking one is not it) at all.

Something that does not exist can never know anything, whether directly or indirectly.

But the truth is that “I”—false-self—is not real.

In fact, the Truth—the Self—is always realized directly and immediately through impersonal awareness.

There is no other way.

Even though narratives spun by mere thoughts give rise to various “fears,” the mind (ego)—the “I” that views itself as the “master” generating those thoughts (is also a mere thought)—always fear something imagined created by thoughts.

Driven by that fear, it competes and battles others and strives to change the world, all while failing to know that it is simply struggling with mere projections of its own thoughts.

In other words, it is simply a case of mere thoughts making a resistance against nothingness that is not wrong at all, shouting its judgement of distorted cognision, “That is bad” or “This is wrong,” while being proud itself as right or a good person who tries to make the world a better place.

Thought can never see through these facts.

The Truth is never something that can be taught or memorized, nor is it something that “I” can recall or become.

Truth is precisely the reality exactly as it is—the purest form, leaving no room for any thought to intrude—which reveals itself naturally once falsehoods are seen through.

It is the raw reality of this very moment, of what is.

There are no concepts.

There are no intellectual interpretations.

There are no opinions, nor any judgments, such as good or evil.

It transcends all of that; it is simply “That” itself.

It is always a perfect immediacy.

In other words, it is the complete absence of the “I.”

In fact, Awareness needs to directly see through the fact that the “eternal constancy” that recognizes the entirety of “impermanence” is the very Self as itself, as this purity or this simplicity of immediacy, and also to abide in Pure Beingness itself without opinion or judgment.

Meanwhile, the Ego, that is, the “I” which is a false self constructed by thought and repetitively identified with that narrative, keeps surviving through its own imagined separation by keeping its attention directed outward. (OM 🙏)
