This is good work ❤ Keep looking into these held beliefs such as: yourself; god; truth. What are these?

The appearance or physical reality doesn't change. It's recognizing that the meaning purpose and value placed over top of reality by the illusory individual sets up a dream story which is ultimately unreal. ❤

It doesn't matter whether seeking occurs or not because there is no goal or end result that needs to occur. When the body dies, there won't be a memory of the suffering or the bliss that was experienced. There won't even be the slightest remembrance of existence. It simply can't be done right or wrong, because right & wrong are conditioned concepts ultimately lacking in reality. ❤

Like ? ❤

When the word TRUTH is used here, it sounds like there is an expectation to find something solid, concrete, unchanging, something that will always be true, something permanent. THIS is impermanence, unknowable, fluid like, constantly changing, instability, never to be grasped or caught and hung on a nail, it cannot be pinned down labeled and checked off as understood like the mind wants to do to it. Its neither real or unreal. Can a thought even grasp the implications of infinity? The word TRUTH is a thought created concept and futile attempt to squeeze the unsqeezable into a box. Truth = Infinite = Unknowable Unknowing = Truth ❤

The ego is YOU. It's the fictional character experienced within the body comprised of accumulated knowledge, experience, ideas, beliefs, concepts, dogmas, parameters, emotions, conditioned thoughts, ....all identified with as 'ME'. But it's an illusion or misidentification if you will. Sometimes this illusory sense of self is seen through and seems to collapse( Awakening) ❤

There is no purpose for anything. The illusory sense of self places an overlay of meaning purpose and value over top of reality and operates from that belief. This is essentially what creates the dream story. An unreal individual operating from an unreal perspective...❤

Empty the glass and through it out ?

What is "I"? What does "I" consist of? Where is "I" located? Can you put your finger on it? Or Is "I" a mere concept or assumption of thought? "I" or "ME" is an illusion. A misidentification with conditioned thinking. So the Seeker starts out on a journey from a skewed perception to begin with. Sort of like starting on a quest with a map of the wrong territory. I never finds what it's seeking because I isn't real. Needless to say it's quite funny when it's recognized ❤

There is no "MY" journey or "MY" enlightenment, that's literally what is revealed. And how can that possibly be described? ❤

Who is asking?

Yep we place an overlay of what we think we understand on top of reality and operate from that perspective. In truth its truly unknowable ❤

There isn't a better point to reach, that's just more illusion. It's not about finding something, it's the collapse of that which thought something was missing. ❤

If you were born in Afghanistan, you would be a completely different ME, with different beliefs, ideas, thoughts, and concepts. If you were born in Alaska, you would be a completely different ME, with different beliefs, ideas, thoughts, and concepts. If you were born in Japan, you would be a completely different ME, with different beliefs, ideas, thoughts, and concepts. When this is clearly understood, its recognized there isn't actually a real YOU!! There is only a socially conditioned idea of who you think you are. If you take away the conditioned idea of who you think you are, What IS Left? Don't think! Look and see! ❤

And whether it was an enjoyable stay or not, it's all you will ever experience. Let that sink in! When the body dies, there won't even be the slightest remembrance of existence. And this is the last thing the sense of self wants to hear...but regardless, it is the case ❤

Yep, Nothing needs to happen or not happen. Its doesn't matter because there is no ultimate goal for anything. This literally can't be done wrong...Or right ❤

?

Yep, There is no one which could find something called grace and no one which could be deluded. There isn't a better position for ME. Because Me isn't real. ❤

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

It seemed to start with an unquenchable thirst for truth. The months and months of meditation seemed to disrupt the habitual ways of thinking and looking at things. At some point It just became obvious that the 'ME' or 'sense of self' was just an accumulation of conditioned thoughts and assumptions rather than a real entity. The closer it was looked at, the more obvious it became. It was so obvious, it felt shocking and ordinary simultaneously. A radical shift in perspective is one way to describe it, but it's the end of individual perspective and experience.... because the individual is recognized to have never been real. There is literally nothing behind the eyes looking out at apparent reality. There's nothing or no one behind the eyes. ❤

The end of the need for anything to be other than what it is.

A non-happening or no thing.

No one wakes up, the dreamer is just simply recognized to have never been. And nothing recognizes this, so recognizing it, is also part of the dream story, which never actually occurred.

I is a product of the conditioning and seeks because it feels incomplete or separate.
