Beautiful. It is Now, too. Just drop "you", attachments and thinking. Best Regards,

Just imagine: before birth, now, and after death. These moments are identical when there is no attachment to thought. For without attaching to thought, there is no “you,” no universe, no birth or death, no solipsism or infinity. All dissolves into the single reality of Now... Life only appears through attachment to thought. Without clinging, there is no “you,” no universe, no birth or death, no solipsism or infinity. In truth, there is no before or after, no coming or going. This is simply waking from the dream. Yet the dream continues. You are That, the eternal Now / Moment. The body is only an instrument through which That speaks. This is the whole of spirituality. Nothing more. Just Be still. Best Regards,

No-self” does not mean the end of life, but the end of the imagined owner of life. Life continues, breathing, walking, speaking, loving, but without the burden of “me” carrying it. It is simply Being, the eternal Now, moment to moment, without a center. Not the end of life, the beginning of life as it truly is. No-Self Is Being the Moment and Eternal Now. No-Self: The End of the Thinker, the shining of Being. The Body borns and dies. But, Being is always Now, eternal, ever - present.

Spirituality is not a game, not self-improvement, not deeper experiences, not thinking or realizing deeper, not philosophy, not mental gymnastics. It is simply the end / death of the thinker, experiencer, realizer, the end of “you” as a person. If you have to wear a woman dress to decrease "you", wear it. If you have to run naked to decrease "you, run. If you are so shy and con not approach a girl, do it. Whatever that decrease "you", do it. Till "you" die. When the thinker dies, what remains is what has always been. The Absolute, the Self, pure Being. That alone is spirituality. Best Regards,

@Princess Arabia Exactly. Something Truly exist, and it is all.

I don't, but you should.

As I said before,

No. Comptetely the opposite: "Solip” comes from solipsism. The word itself is made from Latin: solus = alone ipse = self. Solipsism says: “Only my mind exists, all else might be an illusion.” It is centered around the individual self (the ego-mind). “There is nothing but Allah” (or Brahman, or the Self in Advaita) says: “Only the Absolute exists; there is no separate self, no second.” It is not the individual mind, but the Source of all. So: Solipsism = ego-centered view - “only I exist.” Tawhid / Advaita = truth-centered view - “only the Absolute exists.” They look similar in words, but are completely opposites : Solipsism inflates the “me.” Realization dissolves the “me.” I don't dream, imagine or think whatsoever. Just the Moment, Now.

Body, death, solipsism, experience, experienced, infinite, universe, etc... So called Arises and falls within Absolute. The Absolute is not aware of multiplicity. Multiplicity is of the mind. For the Absolute, there is no second, only itself. The waves (thoughts, mind, world, even the sense of “I as a person”) rise and fall. The ocean (the Absolute, pure Being) is not concerned with their coming or going. To the waves, there may appear to be individuality and difference. To the ocean, there is only itself, which is vast expanse, unbroken. Absolute is entire ocean... The body is but a messenger, an appearance carried by the current. There is nothing but Allah / Absolute.

I don't think nor imagine whatsoever. Enlightenment is the end of thinking, therefore, the end of the thinker. Therefore even So-called enlightenment itself vanishes, for the thinker never truly existed. So, the so called thinking so called creates the thinker. However, in so called "your" case you / mind is still active. There is no so called arrogant or wise, all is the absolute. Physical death is the end of all pleasure, desire, suffering, etc... At physical death, the thinker, the mind, the “you” must surrender. If not, death is harsh on the “you,” leaving no trace, no ashes of the thinker, no residue of mind, no “you.” Therefore, die before you die: surrender the thinker now. Let the body act on its own; the mind is not in command, no thinker is in. This is true dying before physical death. That's why, die before you die is a say. Because, the body dies it's own. There is no "you" in it. The Absolute, however, is never born, never dies, never changes, never comes or goes. Body lives it's own, there is no you to think or control. Be empty, surrender the thinker/ mind/ you, and Abide as the Absolute always is. It is always Now, Here. (before physical birth, after physical death, and beyond all thought.)

"Who" can point to absolute? Mind says it is absolute, therefore how belief of solipsism arises, which is an attachment/mind. Therefore , inevitably becomes mind and absolute. Absolute is all there is, and there is no "alone". Because, There is no space outside it to be separate, nor to “think” or “claim” aloneness. İt is just is. Whole, complete, unbroken.

There is nothing but Allah. End of the so called conversation and so called solipsism. Best Regards,

When the mind clings to the thought “only Being is real,” it has already created a division. There is the mind that thinks and the Being that is thought of. Separation is born. From this subtle duality arises solipsism, which is the notion that a separate thinker stands apart from Truth, claiming itself as the only reality. But when the false “I” (which is the sense of a separate experiencer) is inquired into and dissolves, who remains to hold the idea? So, when the "I"-thought vanishes, that's when the Being reveals itself, whole, undivided, shining as all and as always present. Therefore, the statement “only Being is real” ceases to be a thought. Direct Reality is beyond belief or concept. One perspective looks through the mind and falls into solipsism, imagining Being as something to be grasped, possessed by “me” or believing “I am the Being.” The other perspective does not look at all. It simply is. In pure Being, there is no observer, no observed, no argument, no conclusion, Only wholeness. When this is abided in, conviction does not arise from logic or persuasion but from direct experience. You simply Be, because it is what you truly are. In this abiding, the mind’s shadow of division vanishes. There is no two, no other. There is only Being, which is Pure Consciousness, undivided, complete, ever-present. Best Regards,

There is nothing, but Allah.

In the presence of love, no “me.” Like a bird, I just fly. Like a selfless prophet walking across the desert, There is no destination, no goal, Only vanishing into love. Like breathing, like flying, The song expresses itself without you. The body moves, dances, and speaks without you. So, what remains of you? Nothing, but the Sky in which all.

Ah James, Oh James, Poor James… He tried so desperately to become, to become good, to become infinite, to become pure, to become enlightened, to become God. He carried the universe on his back, not knowing it was only thought, only dust. Poor James. The infinite became his prison. He clung to illusions of forever, and called it truth. He read scriptures. He tortured himself with effort. He sat in meditation, not to rest, but to achieve, to conquer silence, to capture the sky. But James forgot: You cannot possess the wind. You cannot hold the moon in your fist. And the simple truth is this: Being is already here. And in Being, there is no James to become anything. Poor James. He chased the Divine as if it was elsewhere, not seeing it was his very breath. He longed for Love, never knowing creation was made of it. Poor James. And now he stands before the Truth, Empty-handed. Exhausted. No more words. No more masks. nothing left to hold, nowhere left to go. And in that poverty, in that total collapse of “James,” something shines. Not as James. Not for James. But as What Always Was, Waiting patiently behind the veil. What remained was not James. Not God. Not infinite. Not even silence. Only Being. And Love, the reflection of Being, rose like fire, and burned James alive, while he still breathed. Ah James, Oh James, Poor James… What burned him left no ashes, and what remains is rich beyond measure.

Cry, Cry, Cry, Beloved Love doesn’t belong to words. Because this love is older than language. Older than thought. Older than time. You can’t put it into words, because it was never meant to be spoken. Only felt, only surrendered to, only burned in. You can’t speak it,because when you feel it fully, you are no longer there to speak. There is only the burning. There is only the Beloved, dancing in your chest, lighting the stars again. So let the fire take you. Don’t try to hold it in words. Just be the silence it leaves behind. That’s where it lives. That’s where You live. Cry, Cry, Cry, beloved, Like Nafî breathes through the reed, Each tear a sacred note, A silent prayer of Being’s heart. Let your soul weep with the ney’s song, Falling open, hollowed, Until love and Being burn away all walls. This crying is not sorrow, It is the music of reunion, The fire that frees the universe. So cry, and be found, In the silent embrace of Being, Where love never ends.

After Enlightenment, the mind may does not vanish entirely, but it loses its authority. Thoughts may still appear, but they no longer veil the One. They are like ripples on the surface of a deep, still lake. The One is not concerned whether thoughts come or go for he / she no longer identifies with them. Because there is no longer a “someone” caught in the flow. Moreover, Enlightenment does not end pain. Pain still comes, but it doesn't belong to anyone. One does not become a Superman or infinite or god consciousness 😊 The mind becomes like a burnt rope. It may appear to have form, but it has no strength. There is no inner chatter about the future, the past, success, failure, others, or oneself etc. Only silence remains as the ground of being. But, a silence not created, not practiced, However, revealed as the natural ground of being. All doing happens spontaneously, without the burden of the doer. From that stillness, action may arise, but it happens without weight, without effort, without the burden of a doer. All movement becomes spontaneous, unclaimed, unowned, as natural as wind passing through an open field. One sees now that the past, present, and future are not truly separate entities. They do not exist as fixed, real segments of time. Moreover, They only seem to exist when thought brings them up. When One thinks of five years ago, that image appears in the mind and it feels real, but only now, in this moment of thinking. Then, The moment attention shifts say, to a memory from three years ago, the previous image vanishes. It has no independent existence. Only the current thought holds space. For example, if I think of five years ago, it appears real now. But if I shift and think of three years ago, then five years ago disappears. It’s not there anymore, only what I’m thinking now seems to real. Such as think about Brazil now, see it is real now. When the thought ceases, Brazil is gone. So One sees: time itself is born of thought. Without thought, there is no time. No past to remember, no future to anticipate, only the unbroken Now remains. So actually, time is just happening in the mind. Without thinking, there is no past or future. There’s just now, still. And because, One is no longer investing energy in the stream of thinking, no longer clinging to it for identity or security, the sense of me, the doer, the thinker, the rememberer, is also seen to be false. It was never a real being, only a collage of impressions, a collection of thoughts referring to themselves. Once this is clearly seen, what remains is not a new version of self, but the falling away of all self images. So, After enlightenment, there is no "you", no idea of enlightenment nor "enlightenment". Only That remains: pure Being, the Self, You, or simply, What Is. Not an achievement, but what is always here. Now. Freedom is not escape. Life goes on, but the sense of me or you is gone. Pain may arise, but there is no sufferer. Thoughts come and go, but there is no thinker. Only Now remains, silent, formless, free. One remains in the body, yet untouched by it. Abide as That.

@CoolDreamThanks actually, you are wrong. Silence, james and noise appear and disappear in the Being. There is no need to run or no where to hide, for there is no second place apart from Being. Whatever arises is only in Being, and Being never moves. So, Silence, james and noise are passing appearances. They do not touch the Being. Liberation is to abide as That in which both / all arise and subside. The Being which never changes, never comes, never goes. There is nothing, but Allah / Being.

Whatever "you" think appears as "your reality" (as above). Yet if you inquire into the thinker itself, even this reality dissolves, revealing that You are That which is never other than itself. There is only the Being, shining as all. There is nothing but Allah (LA ilahe illallah). Best Regards,
