  1. The trap of the so-called neo-Advaita “no self” or "no others" is like mistaking the map for the journey. The idea that there is no “you” is seen, and suddenly a little house is built there, which is safe, empty, cold. But life is not meant to be frozen in a concept. When the false self is gone, what remains is not a void but the fragrance of Being itself. And that fragrance is love. It cannot be caged. It moves without a mover, dances without a dancer, flows into compassion without anyone to give or anyone to receive, not as a duty, but as a song overflowing. To love unconditionally is to know there is no “self” and no “other.” Only the same Being shines through every form. Abide as That. Then love is not an act of “me” toward “you”; it is the reflection of what is, as natural as fragrance to a flower, as light to the sun. Even when it is seen clearly that self and duality are illusions, the play of form continues. Speaking happens, walking happens, touching happens. Not because there is a doer, but because life lives. Awareness or Being does not reject form / body; it embraces it, because, it is already it's own expression. The body is not an enemy, it is a doorway. Through it, tenderness touches, care moves, sharing blooms. Therefore, denying duality is the another mind activity. The body and the world are but forms appearing within the Self; they are not separate from it and therefore never opposed or rejected. To abide as the Self is to abide as Love itself, beyond all duality, beyond all concept. Without this flowering into the living world, “no self” or "no others" becomes only another disguise of the mind, another wall or belief against love. But when there is no “self” and no “other,” love simply radiates, without direction, without effort, without name. The natural perfume of What has always been.
  2. Where was that one conscious entity and Solipsism entity before physical birth? Sound like, Your god is above the clouds only a man with long mustache 😊
  3. That's exactly what I am pointing out on thread. You don't even read and write for no reason. To say “duality and the Absolute are the same” still grants duality some kind of reality, even if you try to merge it with the Absolute. Duality and non-duality are appear and disappear in the Absolute. Whether imagined or not imagined, the Self remains as it is unchanged, untouched, complete.” In the direct seeing of the Being, duality is not transformed or united. No more talking with you. Just love. Much love.
  4. What must happen will happen, whatever you do to prevent it. What must not happen will not happen, whatever you do to make it happen. The best course is to remain still.
  5. At-Talaq, 65:3 “And whoever relies upon Allah then He is sufficient for him.” This verse highlights that Allah is the best arranger of affairs, and true trust (tawakkul / complete surrendering / non attachment/ complete letting go) is turning to Him. Trust is essential in matters of destiny and provision. Quran.
  6. All this, every form, every breath, every movement arises within the Being, from the Being, as the Being itself. Nothing stands apart from That. Nothing ever could. When a wave rises in the ocean, does the ocean reject it? Does it say, this one is welcome, that one is not? No. The ocean allows everything, without preference, without resistance. Such is the nature of Being. If You ask, Why love? Because, Being is unconditional love, which is not emotion, not effort, not sentiment, but a deep, effortless allowing. A seeing that all is already That. There is nothing to correct, nothing to defend, nothing to exclude. So why judge? Why resist? What you resist is only a shadow, a thought. You are not the wave. You are the ocean. Even resistance is just another ripple in You. If You say, “But anger comes, fear comes, or sadness comes”. Even that arises in You, the vast sky of awareness. What is there to do but let it be seen, not clung to, not indulged, just noticed, and left untouched in stillness. Before the body appeared, there was no disturbance. No identity, no separation. Only silence, whole and complete. Now that the body has come, why imagine that truth has changed? This world, this form is the movement of That which never moves. It is silence expressing itself as sound, form arising in formlessness. To love unconditionally means to let all things arise and dissolve without grasping or pushing. It means not insisting on how life should be, but bowing to how it is. This is not weakness. This is the supreme strength. You do not need to learn love. You only need to stop imagining yourself apart from it. Stop pretending to be what You are not. Be still. Do not become anything. Rest in what You already are, which the pure Presence in which all appears. There, love is not practiced. It simply is. Disappearance happens not through effort, but through Love so total that nothing remains to hold on to, not even the idea of “you.” This is the highest service. To love unconditionally is to know there is no other. See the Being / You in all. Abide as That. Then love is not an action, it is the reflection of your very Being / You. Best Regards,
  7. 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.
  8. İt is actually not. Look the body, it has billions of molecules, working perfectly. You are not on control how heart, liver, blood etc... works. Therefore, just flowing with the moment more easier. We are not control on the body, just aware of it.
  9. You can do all these without attachment, thinking or overcoming from anything. Just flowing with moment. Let the body do it's job. That's it 😊
  10. So why do you even write? Smile 😊 And to whom you write? 😊 That's how sneaky is the ego is, which is making another identification. You should read the thread till that no self dissolves into ocean of Love. ❤️ This is exactly what I am talking about. Aren't you writing with the fingers through the body? 😊 This denying the duality. 😊 Meanwhile while body is still breathing 😊 This is exactly mind says. Because attachment to word "empty and means nothing" belong to mind. Because, it is an attachment 😊 Moreover, It has no separate meaning, because it is only the Being, and the Being is beyond meaning and meaninglessness. 😊
  11. What I mean by “false self” is the "belief" that something is separate, when in truth it is and has always been the very Absolute itself. According to the “self” (the mind identified perspective), there appears to be separation “me” and “you,” “here” and “there.” According to the Self (pure awareness), there is only the Absolute; the appearance of separation is just that an appearance within itself.
  12. Thoughts arise, weaving stories of past and future, restless shadows cast by memory and desire. They circle endlessly, trying to protect a fragile self built on fear, sadness, anger, and judgment. Even the “I” that believes it watches is but another thought, a whisper among whispers. But insight comes differently. It bursts forth in the present moment, silent and immediate as a thunderclap from the depths beyond mind. It is not you writing, but the moment expressing itself through. Fingers move with the freedom of love, untouched by thought’s need to control. Thought is the old guard, bound by time and protection. Insight is the rebel, timeless and liberating. In the stillness where thought dissolves, the Self reveals itself, beyond names, beyond “you,” pure and radiant. Be with this difference without grasping, for to name it is to bind it again. Let the wine pour without holding the cup. The heart hears the call of the Being, and in that hearing, there is peace beyond all understanding. This is the living truth whispered by the Beloved / Being, the silent word spoken before all words. The eternal light shining within, guiding beyond fear, beyond thought, into the vastness of love itself. Best Regards,
  13. Yes, "system" is accurate too, like matrix 😊 Mind is thought that appear in consciousness or Truth, however, when closely observed, there is actually no thought therefore no mind. Yes.
  14. Good for you 😊 and don't worry end will come soon and won't go forever 😊
  15. Of course. No self speaks through insight that arises in the moment. But when you say “no one is here” or “oops, no one to wake up,” that becomes the greatest mind trap. Because even then, no self is still speaking through the body, and that is duality. And when you reject duality, you remain trapped within the mind. The “no one here” notion is still a thought, an expression of the ego trying to dissolve itself. To reject duality mentally is still to cling to the mind. True realization is beyond both duality and its rejection.
  16. So, to "whom", "you" are writing to? 😊 See, but you know what duality is. İt is a dream, as these so called words. Otherwise, it will be impossible to connect these words 😊 body is doing right? Hands? 😊 According to "who"? 😊 body is doing right? Hands? 😊
  17. So, if there is no one there to wake up or no one here, why do you even bother to write? 😊 you are just stuck in nothing and rejecting duality. That's mistake of neo adviata. Moreover, "I know, therefore I am" is the mind claiming authority on Truth, and that's the biggest illusion. Truth / You beyond the knowing.
  18. Words are not the thing itself. They are merely pointers toward the Truth. The Truth remains unchanged and beyond words. The mistake is to confuse the pointer with what it points to. True wisdom is to see beyond words to the Truth they indicate.
  19. The “therefore” implies a cause and effect relationship that your existence depends on something else, such as a thought or knowledge. But the true Self simply is, without cause or condition. Existence does not arise because of knowing or thinking; it is prior to all that. To believe “Therefore I am” is to mistake the transient mind for the eternal Self. The “person” you speak of is indeed the mind’s creation, thought, knowledge, and the “I” arise together. The statement “I know, therefore I am” is a mind made idea, not the Truth of your Being. When the sense of “I” surrenders and falls away, there is no separate “you” left behind. What remains is the Self, which is pure awareness beyond all concepts, beyond knowledge, beyond the thinker and the known. Spiritual jargon can confuse and trap the mind, but Truth is simple and direct. It is the ending of all such divisions. Attachment to knowledge divides and confines the mind, creating separation. ( As saying, therefore I Am) Non-attachment frees "you", which is an another attachment. And revealing the oneness that is always now, beyond all distinctions, therefore knowledge.
