“PURE LOVE WITHOUT THE INTERVENTION OF THE ‘DOER’”

“Love” that is free from the intervention of the “doer”—that construct of thought (the false self) at the center of which “I” believe myself to be—is pure, unconditional love in the truest sense.

It is the manifestation of an infinite capacity for acceptance known as openness; it is the form of an impersonal essence—a love that is centerless and accompanied by the infinite vastness of permanence.

It is something that “I” can never grasp through imagination or thinking; rather, it is always absence of the “I”, accompanied by a direct realization that transcends “I”—a seamless, living connection and a sense of undividedness that is neither conceptual, intellectual, nor a product of delusion.

On the other hand, things like sarcasm, criticism, and control are unconscious self-defense mechanisms intended to protect the “I.” Although the “I” unknowingly believe them to be a form of love with unexamined—methods deeply ingrained during one’s upbringing—they are in reality a type of attachment characterized by a dualistic and inherently relative sense of exclusion; it is the “I” as its own sole guardian bestows upon “myself.”

This is by no means a discussion about how the latter is “bad” and should be stopped, or how it is “wrong.”

Rather, the first thing we need in order to be simply “IS” as Pure Beingness (Enlightenment, the Self) is to detach from that sense of false self—the “doer” that seeks to control one’s words and (re)actions based on such judgments.

One approach is to cultivate the habit of questioning each of one’s own words and (re)actions.

For instance, ask yourself: “Will this lead essence toward the truth of the unknown (the Self)—toward a realm that far transcends ‘I’? Or is it merely for the sake of the known—for ‘I,’ for my loved ones, or for humanity, as limited beings?”

In doing so, it is crucial not to interject judgments of good or evil—that is, not to expose to criticism born of the thought-based construct of “I.”

Thoughts arise and vanish one after another.

Do not become absorbed in them; instead, recognize them.

Rest as the awareness that perceives all of them. The more you become able to let thoughts to simply arise and pass away within awareness without getting caught up in them, the more self-observation and self-inquiry—through the clarity of innermost stillness—will naturally and effortlessly become.

Through this, insight will naturally sharpen.

Furthermore, awareness will, sooner or later, come to realize a sure sense, that requires absolutely no effort and no doer, as The Self as an unwavering, pure, impersonal presence.(OM 🙏)
