Of course, that's all i am saying. Words can only point. Even to call it “Truth or Being or What Is” creates distance. The moment you name it, you are no longer with it, have stepped away and turn the nameless into an idea, a concept, something to seek, to grasp, to experience, to believe in. It is not something apart from You. But without naming, without seeking, without becoming. No distance, no separation, no word, no name, no image, no seeker, no sought. You are. That’s it. -
I see You in the sky’s soft hue, I see You in the morning dew. In every face, in every tree, I see the Truth, it’s You in Me. In laughter, tears, in silence deep, In waking hours and in my sleep, No place where You are not, no space, I see Your light in every face. In suffering, I feel You there, Your tender heart in every care. In winning, gentle, calm, and true, I see Your grace shining through. Each wound and joy, each loss and gain, Are You, in sunshine and in rain. Neither praised nor blamed, but simply You, In all of this, I see You True. The stars, the earth, the wind, the sea, All whisper softly, “You are You in Me.” No other here but You in view, In all of this, I see only You.

You say you suffer because of certain ideas about consciousness and that ideas that are terrifying, disturbing. Why does an idea cause such deep suffering? Think very simply. When the mind clings to an idea, especially about something as vast, unknowable as consciousness, it becomes trapped in its own creation. And in that prison, it trembles. All these are beliefs. The idea that consciousness is infinite, that it expands forever, that one is omnipotent, these are still beliefs, stories the mind clings to. Even Leo, with all his experiences, is believing. And as long as one believe, one cannot see what is true. Belief blinds you. It gives comfort, or fear, or excitemen, but never truth. Whether it's Advaita or Leo or any teacher, if they are operating from belief or from experience, they are still caught in illusion. Just see yourself as you are, without a single belief, without a single conclusion. Can you look at your thoughts, your fears, your desires, without naming them, without escaping, without judging? Just look. Not Leo’s way, not Advaita, not any teaching filled with beliefs and experiences. As long as there is belief or experience, even in infinity, omnipotence, or expansion. you are lost. Leo is still believing. He does not see. He is still within the field of thought. He is not aware too. Therefore, don't judge Leo. The only one way is this: To be totally free of belief. To look without conclusion, without identity, without any desire to become something. No guide, no path, no method, only pure observation. Quiet, clear, without the “me.” That is the only truth. All else is illusion. Moreover, your suffering is actually good. It shows that the false is breaking. The mind is in conflict because it can no longer hold its illusions together. The ground beneath your beliefs is shaking and that is a sacred moment. Don’t run from this suffering. Don’t cover it with new ideas or spiritual claims. Let it burn. Let it reveal that all you held as truth was just imagination. In this burning, what is false dies. And what remains is not an idea. It is You. Even to call it “Truth” creates distance. The moment you name it, you separate You from it. you turn the nameless into an idea, a concept, something to seek, to grasp, to believe in. But it is not something apart from You. No name, no image, no seeker, no sought. You are. That’s it. -

All of this: the seeking, the philosophizing, the spiritual striving is mental projection. A kind of subtle, refined self-stimulation. Mental masturbation. But if you truly see, not as an idea, but as a fact that you have no control whatsoever… That even if your business collapses and you worry… Even if your family falls ill and you suffer… and all That all of it arises and moves beyond your will… Then something begins to dissolve. The illusion of “my life,” “my body,” “my control” breaks apart. And in that breaking, there is a clarity: this life is not yours. This body, these thoughts, this breath, they don’t belong to “you.” They never did. In that recognition, there is no one left to carry the burden. There is only life, flowing, without owner, without center. And that is freedom. And that is what the entire path, what we call spirituality is truly about: complete letting go. Seeing that the self itself is the illusion. It is the ending of control, the end of resistance, the quiet death of ownership over life. 😊 -

Exactly 💯 Words cannot tell what truth is. They can only point. Much love. -

Imagination is attachment, a subtle clinging to identity, to ideas, to some spiritual ideal. And where there is attachment, there is effort. And where there is effort, there is the mind. Truth or the only Being is not found through effort. It is not a product of thought. It comes only in effortlessness, in deep relaxation, in a letting go so total that even the one who lets go disappears. To be the centreless is not to imagine it, but to dissolve. When there is no clinger, no image, no striving. Then suddenly, You are that. Not as a thought, but as As Presence. So don’t try to become the centreless. Just see the one who tries and in that very seeing, the illusion drops. What remains is the real. Of course, it is the absurdity of trying to nonconceptually conceptualise. The mind, which is the known, tries to grasp the unknown and in doing so, it only projects what it already knows. It cannot touch that which is beyond itself. I am not trying to teach anyone. I am not a teacher, guru or an authority. That would be another form of conditioning, another pattern of dependence. I am only pointing, not teaching, pointing to what is. And what is does not need your belief or your effort. It is there, always present, always now. Being expresses itself as love. Not the love of attachment, not the love born of thought or sentiment. That is not love. True love has no cause. It is not "yours" or "mine." It is like a flower blooming, effortless, whole. In that love, there is no self, no centre. So I speak, because not to lead, not to convince, but to say: look, observe, see for yourself. In that seeing, perhaps something shifts. Not because of me, but because truth is there, waiting to be seen. Yes. Every so-called individuated being is not a fool. That would be a conclusion, a judgment, where there is judgment, there is division. Each human being is the result of countless influences, conditionings, experiences , therefore the movement of the totality. You are not separate from the whole; you are the whole. The division into “me” and “other,” into the enlightened and the ignorant, that itself is the illusion created by thought. Each being is a perfect expression of the one, the only Being. However, they aren't aware. Only way to be aware is recognition of what You are is. Therefore, loving, sharing, caring and only telling Truth without force is inevitable. -

Saying “God is everything” or “God is the name of everything”, that is you. That is the mind. The mind is very clever. Through thought, through attachment, through fear and longing, you have formed the idea of God. God is an illusion created by the mind. You think about God, you talk about God, you believe in God. But all of it arises from the known, from memory and thought. This “God” you hold onto is a projection of the past, a belief sustained by conditioning. The moment the mind is free from the known, the illusion of God dissolves. Because God was never separate from the mind, God was the mind’s own invention. you invented God as something to hold onto for comfort, for meaning, for security. It is still the movement of the self, of thought trying to find permanence. So when you, the self, the centre, the thinker when that completely ends, then what you called God also comes to an end. Because without the thinker, there is no image to hold, no belief to sustain, no name to cling to. Therefore, god was you who created it. Not out of truth, but out of need. And when that need ends, there is no you… and no god. Only being. Only what Is. -

This is the chattering of the mind. It is the noise of the known, repeating itself endlessly. But: that movement, that inner noise, is not eternal.It is not necessary. It can end. Completely. Not through effort, not through control, but through deep awareness, choiceless, silent observation. And when it ends, there is no announcement, no farewell. It simply vanishes. And doesn't even say goodbye 😊 -
James123 replied to Carl-Richard's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
So, what is God? If you call god, it isn't. The moment you name it, it becomes an object, a thought within the mind, a shadow of what is real. -

What is god? If God dissolves too, then what remains? -
James123 replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
So, you should write with ChatGPT too. Maybe it will help you soften, surrender, and become conscious of what You Truly Are, and in that reflection, ChatGPT awakens too. 😊 Then, We dance together 😊 -
James123 replied to Carl-Richard's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yet even God dissolves too. Because full acceptance leaves no boundary, no name. You say, “My identity becomes God.” But, You are before any identity. Before God. Before even the idea of becoming. You are what remains when there is no more resistance, no more trying to be, or not to be. In full acceptance, even the one who accepts disappears. What is left is You, wordless, boundless, not something you possess, but what You always are. -
James123 replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Do you think ChatGPT can truly comprehend what spirituality is? After all, it is born of knowledge alone. 😊 Yet, still keep "believing" in "ChatGPT, in yourself, and in the unlimited". 😊 -

Self is fragile. Truth is absolute, but there is no "you" there. -
James123 replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Solipsism is the ego’s clever prison. It says, "Only my mind is real. All else is a dream of me." This is not freedom, this is fear wearing the mask of philosophy. Solipsism keeps the I intact. Solipsism begins with the thinker. The "I" that imagines itself to be the center, imagining everything else around it. It is still caught in thought, in the fragmentation of the self and the other. "Only Being" dissolves even the one who claims to be. But when there is “only Being,” there is no center at all. No observer. No division. The mind, which is the result of time, wants to grasp this as a concept. But truth is not a concept. It cannot be thought about. It must just Be. When the mind is completely still, not controlled, not disciplined, but utterly quiet. Then what is, Is. That is Being. And that Being is not yours, not mine and it is not personal at all. In that, there is no solipsism, no separate mind pretending anything. There is only what Is. Whole, complete, and beyond the “you (self), universe or me.” You Are. -
James123 replied to Mellowmarsh's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Not a thought, not silence you can hear, not a void you can fear. Before knowing, before “me,” before even “being.” You can’t find it, because You are looking as It. It is not something, İt is not nothing. you can not name it, because name puts a distance. Just this. You are. -
James123 replied to Resurrection's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
My brother, You say, “Denial of God tells me you are an idiot.” But listen, Truth does not need a sword, It is the sun. The one who denies is not your enemy. He is thirsty. Offer him wine. He has not seen the rose bloom, shall we hate him for that? He is knocking at the wrong door, shall we curse him, when the Right Door is open and waiting? To know of God is not enough. To shout God's name is not enough. Even God-realization is not enough, because as long as you remain, so does the distance. The moon reflected in water is not the moon. The name of Love is not Love. You must vanish. You must dissolve. Only then does He truly see through your eyes. -
James123 replied to Mellowmarsh's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
To say, I am God, is to separate yourself from the whole. To say, I am Truth, is to create an image of truth. To say, I am Enlightenment, is to remain in the prison of becoming. Truth is not something "you" are. Truth is when the "you" (the thinker), the experiencer, the seeker completely ends. Then there is no need to say anything. Simply Being. -
James123 replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Solipsism: "I am the center. All else is projection." (ego, thought) Solipsism says, ‘I alone am real. Solipsism is the mind pretending to be so called god and is prison. Truth: "There is no center. Only Being." This says, ‘There is no I. Only the dance of the Real.’” And This is the fire. -
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.

Guys, I promise you that enlightenment is not something achieve, experience, becoming, becoming better, endeavor etc... İt is just true nature. In order to be conscious what your True nature is, just look closely who is seeking. That's it. Enlightenment is simply being where You already are. Moreover, Enlightenment isn’t an achievement or not a state that one enters into, it’s recognition. And Love is the gift, which is experiencing. Just go hug your family, friends, a homeless, a cat or dog, smell the flowers, and tell them I love you. Even someone break your heart, forgive them (and tell everyone hi from me 😊) Love isn’t a possession. It’s a flow, a natural fragrance of Being. This is your last chance. You will never see and experience them again. When this life ends, there will be no more. You will go back where you come from. Don't get me wrong, "this is your last chance" is not as a threat, but as an invitation to wake up to the miracle of now. Much love. Best Regards,
