He:

“It seems u see things very clear without doubt. Did this all came out of the (non) realisation or also from reading? Reason i ask is because there is a feeling that it has to come from own experience.

Also read some of ur reaction to someone talking about soul etc after birth. I have such fear that we have a soul. Don t ask me why lol i don t know. A lot of irrational fears. Believing we are one, kind of makes me feel at rest. But still there is doubt what is really truth.”

Me:

“Realization is instant and that means we realize EVERYTHING – instantly. Dressing this truth in words may take a while though. If you try to. Of course its impossible to dress the truth in lies. Some “people” never try to communicate the impossibility of communication – to verbally communicate the impossibility of verbal communication… They may be the ones that is most grounded in the absolute, but not necessarily, since no conclusions is ever possible to draw. Only a person, an individual believing in his own existence, draws conclusions.

We draw conclusions with our conditioned mind. We project. If we are still believing individuals, continuously becoming our conditioned mind.

Our projections is always the outcome of a conditioned (narrrow) MINDED perspective. When trapped in that illusionary state, we can not see anything BUT our “own” made up truth.

Its nothing wrong with being a dreamer, if we like our dream. But its a dream. Or, lets say, its just One of an infinity of possible dreams. And this infinity of dreams, of possible realities, if seen simultaneously, leaves you with no certainty of anything. Actually you see that you are nothing except for this seeing, which has no limit, so you are everything without an end or beginning.

It feels similar to being in awe. But there is noone beeing anything but what IT is. Its the beeing itself. The beeing beeing the beeing.

Thats all.

So, here I am talking. It seems. But I am not. Not really. Talking happens through this spot in everything which used to believe in his own existence. It sound as a perfect excuse. As a made up and undefeatable argument. But noone here believes in arguments. So its not really a discussion. Its “what is” manifesting as a human beeing without a mind.

Thats all.

And this is what “what is” does. Thats all. Apparently.

So keeping quiet or talking is not important. And noone can tell from that, if its “what is” talking or “what is” keeping quiet. “What is” never talks or keep quiet.

It just happens. It just IS what it is. Thats what “what is” does. It is the beeing in itself. It IS the doing. With emphasis in IS. It is Issing the Issnes. Thats all. Thats the only happening taking place.

We humans interpret it as something else, that we recognize. We assume stuff. Thats what minds do.

Assume stuff based on assumptions, based on assumptions.

There is a soul – to answer your question. For those believing in a soul, there is a soul.

For those not believing in a soul, there is no soul.

I too would be scared shitless, if I was a person, and believed in a soul.

Most people want to believe in a soul, and they will have their soul, again and again.

It doesnt remember stuff, and it isnt guided by guides and stuff, unless it believes in guides. Then it will be. But its a dream.

If you believe in Jesus, you will meet jesus, and if you believe in, and fear hell, you will go to hell. But its just a dream. And its not for eternity. But it may feel like it.

Whatever you believe will come true. Thats all. Thats a fact. That applies to this life too. Whatever you expect or fear WILL BE your experience. For good and for worse. So dont paint the devil on the door. Celebrate the good things. Do nothing else. Be greatful. That way you will see the good things and create good things. In reality it doesnt matter. We dont have a choise. And we learn in the speed that we do learn. When having a negative experience, embrace the learning, and the actuallity of it all. Dont resist. Be sad when sad. Totally sad. Then you can go on, when sadness is dealt with. Not reinforced by resistence to it.

When the made up soul have learned that there is no soul, it wont believe in a soul anymore. And then there is no soul. Thats the end.

But if we believe in a soul, even the slightest, then there is a soul. It will appear again on earth. As a worm, a snail, a wasp or a buddha.

I think I am still a believer. I think deep inside me there is someone that believes in something. Or I dont think so, but I am open to the possibility. I dont know. I dont know anything. It seems reasonable that there is some belief hidden inside me. Somewhere. And if there is, I will continue to exist. To suffer death and illness and loss and trauma.

I am not scared of suffering, but like jesus, hanging on the cross, we may see when faced with the reality of intensed suffering, that we cant stand it.

Doubt is belief.

Believing is doubting.

“What is” just is what it is.

Happy new instant everyone!

Dont forget to see the eternal now, every now and again. And again.

Its all there is.

When one have seen “what is”…

When one have seen “what is”… there is no doubt about it. Dont let anyone make you believe anything else. There are people out there who make have an agenda, hidden even from them self. They may have been through the process of enlightenment or whatever one may want to call it. Its just a word for the undescribable.

To see “what is”, means to see that you are allready “that”. But obviously you havent seen that properly before.

You allways were that. But you was in illusion of beeing someone. This illusion is not a problem for those who dont feel trapped by it. But this identification with mind actually creates suffering all around you. You are allready “that”. There is nothing to become.

When seeing this, one no longer is persistent in an argument. One does not have an opinion founded on words spoken or written. One does not believe in ones own words. So, consequenttly, there is no one to listen to or to trust.

You can only trust in your own experience once you have had it. And if you have had it, you no longer ask questions. If you ask questions after “seeing What is” you no longer ask questions in order to know.

“seeing what is” means the end of the need to know, or the end to have affirmation.

If you need affirmation, you are not free.

If you still have questions you are not free.

To the player, I want to say, Its a game, I know, but remember, you are just a card, and that by choise.

All the best. Avaloki/John doe/ seeingwhatis/joakim

How to be free – an answer to Ajay

“Me”:

Tell Me why you want this. (to bee free, liberated, enlightened)

Ajay:

2 reasons if i am honest with myself :

1) I guess would be related to insecurity – mainly financial. Not that I am not secure at the moment, but would it remain forever ? That fear is there. And does enlightenment give this security ?. “NO” – from what I have understood so far. But if “liberation”/ Enlightenment gives you the Right prespective, removes the FEAR, then why cling to “one insecurity” or the “other” and thus get caught in this circle of insecurities ( DEATH being another!) – why not live FREELY and be happy in whatever circumstances.
This reason I have mentioned, because I don’t know if I were to be gauranteed a financial security would I still be after “liberation”. I don’t know. But I do know that I am fairly secure at the moment (house,parents,kids,money etc) everything is going fine, and yet there is a feeling of something missing….

2) that all the non-duality stuff I have been reading ( for about a decade now),for example the one written by you(or an apparant you), it seems so TRUE to me – and that too without any logic. It just seems to be right. But then doesn’t matter how much you read or how much you meditate, ultimately “ones own TRUTH” is alone that would “liberate one” and that can only come when THAT TRUTH dawns on the so called individual.
Intellactually i seem to know the answers for most of the questions but again as mentioned it doesn’t help and it is better to ‘Shut up’ than to preach somebody your theory(which only seems TRUE to you without the Actual Experience to back it up).
So What do I have to validate the things people (like you) have been trying hard to drill home the point. Will it always remain a theory to people (like me), it is not possible for THAT GRACE to fall upon me as well …..

 

 

“Me”:

 

An additional question. How desperate are you?
Do yo want to add confidece to your self, or do you want to loose your pain at any cost? To the cost of loosing your self? Please answer this here and now.

Ajay:

I TRUELY want IT …whatever we mean by “IT” and don’t mind at all if the DROP is to loose its identity and be ONE with the OCEAN.
How Desperate ? I don’t know, I have my fears no doubt. But at the same time this ‘i’ is prepared to be ‘zero’. As i mentioned, being fairly secure ‘materially’ I might not be as Desperate as you were (unfortunately), but then I am prepared to just finish off ‘this’ identity. Atleast this is what intellectual understanding has given me.

As for confidence, I am fairly confident and ( if this may not sound egoistic), it seems I do happen to radiate Laughter,confidence and joy in whichever company placed. But deep down I want to know ‘This Mystery’ be a part of it – knowingly.

If I want to loose my pain at any cost ? well,honestly, the regular pain/fears associated with ‘Samsara’, I take it in my stride and change my outlook towards them. Not that they don’t hurt, but by changing my attitude towards these the pain is felt less or for less period.So just wanted to highlight that I am not in “that pain” at the moment, BUT I DON’T WANT to be IN PAIN in order to TURN TOWARDS HER/Intelligence/Energy/GOD whatever. I WANT HER before ‘THE PAIN” pushes me to SEEK HER.
I MISS HER AND FEEL INCOMPLETE !!

To the cost of Loosing myself – Absolutely yes !

“Me”:

So, no great fears or traumas then? In what Way Do you grek incomplete. And why ( do you think) haven’t you been able to drop yourself allready. What is the reoccurring hindrence?

Ajay:

Fears – yes, many of them. The chief among them financial long term security and that too for children- I myself don’t have many wants or desires. I fear that what would happen to them if I would loose job. Fear, that my parents should possess Good health till there last breath – they should not be dependent physically in this old age. Fear of loosing them.
I have no idea what is the hindrence, despite I not being too ambitious, don’t consider myself to be creative, being very satisfied with whatever nature has provided me so far and am very very grateful to HER , because I as a personality am not worth for what has been provided. I remain Grateful.
But I also want this veil of ignorance to go, just want to be One with THAT – whatever it means !
(yesterday, I read one of your posts, and I could feel the intense pain in the heart – as if it had taken away my heart. I did comment on that, but don’t remember which one it was)

“Me”:

Ok.

Here is what you tell your self through me:

Ajay… 🙂 You want this for the right reasons. It is a joy to read your wordings. There is a foundation in you that is very trustworthy.

I will begin by telling you (me) that many people interpret my written reactions as hard or unkind. I am not polite. I am not humble. I tell the truth as good as I can through words, and sometimes it hurts. Those who lies, who is not or honest or does not know but pretend, them we feel gratitude towards. I dont exist as anything else than a mirror, and have no interests at all as I know of. So I am not interested in gratitude. If you met the body whom in which this mirror resides, then you would be calm, then you would see noone with an agenda and no one wanting anything. I am quite handsome as well LOL.

So, if you feel threatened by my words, listen to that voice, and inquire what it means. Maybe it is correct. I say this to tell you now, once and for all that the responsibility is yours.

This is important.

We search for answers, for peace of mind, and think we will find it outside. That someone is going to give it to us.

You have to look inside. The intuition is a helpful tool to make decisions without using your mind. So… trust your gut. Dont put your gut feeling on a test over and over. Doing that may give you lots of experiences, just in order to let you see clearly that your gut feeling knows better than “You”.

Intuition is part of “what is”.

So…

I went for a trip today and driving across Sweden for eight hours, from east to west. Doing that I saw this:

You say you want to be complete…

That you say.

I have to tell you, you are already complete.

So, why cant yo see this?

Well, its not strange at all.

Getting enlightened is the easiest thing in the world. It is not a mystery. It is reality. Totally possible for everyone.

The place and the time to get enlightened is always here and now. So now, or now, or now… But never tomorrow.

“He who search will find” jesus said. Well If you dont find it immediately, after start searching, is because of doubt and love and fear.

You believe that it is possible to be free, but belief requires some doubt (does it not!?)

So there is doubt/belief.

This doubt/belief wants you to get enlightened tomorrow. But there is no tomorrow. Tomorrow is just a concept, an idea. Also tomorrow is always an image, and a replica of the past.

By putting our attention on a limited part of the past, we create an image in the Present, which shapes our image of tomorrow. So in the now, we create history and future. This future is always related to the past. So if you were anxious for money or not enlightend in the past – you will be it tomorrow as well.

Also, this future (which is just an image) works as an insurance. You dont have to deal with it today. The same way as trust in help works. If you need anyone for you to feel good, then you make your self vulnerable. But you are not vulnerable. Nothing can actually hurt you if you dont let it. You are hurting your self. But ego… ego can not live without fear…. so ego wants you to be afraid. If you feel safe, ego will try to make you scared.

This sounds like a fairy tail, I know, but you will soon see this for your self. The ego is an entity. It is like artificial intelligence, and it has taken your true self hostage. (wow, I know it sounds… too extreme, but that is the case)

Do this for me: ask your self this question (that will follow) and then just shut your eyes for ten seconds without reading further.

“What is the meaning of life?”

(dont read further)

When doing this, you probably dont get an answer immediately. The gap, until your mind starts making noice… this is your true consciousness. Not knowing… And it feels good 🙂

All problems and fears comes out of a false assumption. Made up by the mind.

So… the mind believes in itself and wants to find an answer to the false assumptions. These answers never lasts. They need correction. Over and over.

The truth is that the problems were never there. So, all solutions to the problems just reinforce the belief in the problems – until you loose track of the first question. That is how we start believing we exist, at an early age (my son…. I saw when it happened… he was six months)

You tell me about your fears… they are based upon illusions.

Thsi may sound hard, and I dont want you to accept it. You should inquire by yourself, but this is how it is:

You are afraid of financial problems. That will affect your children and parents in a negative way you say.

But, those who have ears better listen, as jesus said 🙂 … but… You dont know that.

You dont know it will affect your children or parents in a negative way. We know nothing about what will come.

Are you sure about this conclusions of yours? If not… then they are just mental images made up by your mind (that is not really you).

If I have a mortal decease, which I do, can you be sure I will die before you? No… You may get run over by a car tomorrow. So, why should you pity me? Only if you have a mental image of yourself living on for ever, or until the median age of 80, then you will pity me.

This is insane and have nothing to do with “what is”.

Our children is not ours. They will not love us for ever. Not in the same way. Or may not. And that is also ok. They dont have to. Everything passes. That is for certain. That is all we ever know. Nothing lasts.

So… when we know that, we truly appreciate the moment. Every moment.

Death is not a few steps away. It is like rain on our skin, it is closer than that.

But since we are actually one with everything, that is nothing to fear. It is reality.

What is fear? Fear is based upon fear of LOSS.

Without fear of loss we will never be afraid.

I you were about to diem MAYBE you would fear loosing your body, the time you invested in your life in form of studies and hard work. It has to pay off, we may think.

But we are not the body. Cut of a finger and you will see. YOU are still there.

If I never get to see my son again, if I loose custody for ever. Is this a bad thing? Who knows? I may e the best thing for him. We assume things, but never know.

If I loose ny home and my job also?

Well. Lots of people live in poverty. They may be happier and more sane than me. It is not about wealth.

It is about being alive. About seeing “what is”.

And appreciating it.

Fear makes us project into the future (or the past) and we are never really hear.

“Dont be afraid” jesus said.

I couldnt agree moore.

🙂

So. Ajay.

Here is my advice for today to you.

Take a walk.

When you feel your feet meeting the ground… then fully realise that this ground is the actual universe. Feel it.

You are walking on the universe.

It may be the center. I may be in the periphery. There is no beginning and no end so that is not important,

Accept that you dont really know anything.

Accept that you cant change anything.

See that your agenda is just one of countless agendas. Not the absolute. The absolute begins with your sight, of what is.

This is all we can ever do.

We can know, in a way… know or see… know-see… that all we can know is this.

We can see – that which is. Wihout concept, judgement or words attached to it.

You are walking on it. And all you see is part of it.

Actually, everyone you see, is the universe, experiencing itself (you in this case) through the eyes of another living thing.

There is no end to the beauty of this.

Also ask yourself, who percieves the one inside you that sees this.

That – is God.

If you see this –  dont doubt it. It can only happen Now, and it is soo easy.

Then just do this: dont believe your next thought. Forever… As a life long meditation, or at least for one day, or one hour. 🙂 Dont – believe – your next – thought. Any thought. No thought, good or bad.

I am sorry if this got very long. And I am aware of the shortcomings of my language skills since my native thounge is Swedish.

I want to thank you for having the faith and courage to ask for my advice. But – and this is not a play with words – you are doing the talking, through me.

Write back and tell me in a week or so how you are doing.

Love you.

About the illusion of being an illusion. Egos most treasured argument.

I come across this argument all the time… and its an obstacle on the no-path from illusion. My question to you is: since you dont know anything, why do you pretend to know. No-one is ever going to verify your guessing game, and you create suffering non-stop around you, performing this act. Is that your intention?

This is the egos last life line. Let all life lines go, before telling others anything. Keep quiet until you have seen the truth on first hand. Thats my advice.

The persons who like this argument appears to be very intelligent. But intelligence under the total influence of the ego is really nothing more than a very relative ability to sort things out in the total chaos of thoughts and beliefs that is the essence of a mind tortured “individual.”

The argument may sound like this:

There is no this or that, because they are both illusions .

The hen wasnt there before the egg because they are both illusions.

There are no enlightenment, because the talk about there beeing an illusion is also an illusion.

To begin with, I must say this, without inquiring further into it:

There is something called enlightenment, but that is just a phase. It will pass. The fact that you were trapped in illusion, and just left this illusion – verifies the statement that the enlightenment didnt really happen. Illusion just stopped happening. So the enlightenment is a non-event. A concept… and therefore also an illusion-  if seen as an event.

But people are eager to put their nose into this “debate” even though they dont know what the premiss is. They dont know anything. There is no debate. There is no room for opinions. There is only one premiss, and, either you know this premiss or not.

There can never be any discussion. Just false assumptions. To know the premiss you HAVE TO have experienced this answer. All other kind of knowledge is based upon assumptions. No one ever knew something beeing true before experiencing this first handed. First when a truth is experienced we know that we know. Right!?

So. Illusion… what is illusion? It is… something not being what it appears to be. It is not a thing. Not matter. Not life. Nothing. It is not even nothing. It is only a false assumption. Nothing to give life to.

By saying that this and that, is illusion, many people will belive that the illusion is something.  Its not.

There is only “what is”. And all else is illusion.

You may say “that what is” or “this, what is” or “all which is and isnt.” It doesnt matter.

What matters is that you see that there is “something” which what you tend to call “you” are and are surrounded by and in fact united with.

Then there is thoughts. Thoughts have the same importance as ripples on the ocean, on wind passing through the trees. They are… but we give them huge importance and create our whole perception of the universe out of them. Thats a mistake. Thats “the” mistake.

The mind can not see ” what is”.

Mind assumes, based on an assumption, based on assumption, in all eternity…

And says that we are an illusion of an illusion of an illusion…. in all eternity…

Mind can not see “what is”. Without labeling, or seeing the concepts that we, as humans have learned.

The only thing that can ever happen (regarding “enlightenment”) is that you see through your own beliefs and assumptions and conceptual images that you project on everything.

You see that this “is not” (we would say its an illusion). It IS NOT.

Then you see and accept “what is”.

You accept the fact you dont know anything.

Then you see “what is”. And then you know this. And ONLY this. What you see… without words, concepts or even a feeling.

No bliss. Nothing.

This “what you know” now, has no limits. So you see/know everything.

So, you who does not know the premiss, please keep quiet. You are doing harm on “all there is”, including the ones you believe yourself to love. Really, before seeing what is, the only act you can perform is exploitation.

Regards – Avaloki

 

 

 

 

 

The lack of lack.

“It may sound very inappropriate on this occasion to say that in order to be in your natural state, all that man has thought and felt before you must be swept aside and must be brushed aside. And that means the culture in which you are brought up must go down the drain or out of the window. Is it possible? It is possible.”

Quote by U.G Krishnamurti in his first and last speech.

Its interesting this subject. At one with everything, there is not even possible to remember anything. Like dreams they fade away. Why do dreams fade away. Because there is no mind present, no thoughts. Its just something you see and sometimes there may be a vague recall of the dream, that when mind woke up in the dream. If the dream is lucid, you have total recall. Then your mind is in between you and the experience of dreaming. There may be an exception from this. One exception.

For weeks I had this lucid dream about nothingness. There were something present, but the “something” can only be described as the obvious lack of the essential parts of perception.

There were the obvious lack of visual. It wasnt black or bright, It was nothing, like the blind spot of the eye.

There were the obvious lack of sound which reminds of a copper bell that rings with a tensed tone. But the tone, the sound wasnt there, there were only the obvious lack of a tone.

There were also the lack of dream visuals, and lack of thought, lack of joy, and lack of peace. Still, the only words that comes to mind (mind) is peace. The lack of nothingness. All there is. The experience lacked nothing. It was full. It was rich. It was: “The lack of lack.”

No communication is ever possible, the thought comes in between the experienced and the experiencer. There is naturally no distance in between these two. They are the same. That is how everythings works. Thats why were are said to be One. But thoughts comes in between these two in order to create an experience.

There is no such thing as an experience. That is just a story. A fairy tail. Not true. But nothing less then an untrue fairy tail. Just that, what it is.

But the fairy tail is not the most rich thing to take part of, to be at one with.

To have any effect on a flow you have to be in that flow.

To be in the flow you have to throw your self over board.

If there is the slightest sense of self, you are not “that”, the most primary consciousness.

The forms the consciousness takes may be charming and beautiful, but dont be charmed, dont say “I love everything, I think it´s so beautiful” etc. These perceptions is  something separated by the thought, from what it really is. These perceptions is futile.

The only way you can eat the cookie, is to throw it away.

There can be no eater of the cookie, nor any eating, as an act. The eating will happen spontaniously, but then it will just be a happening. And this happening is all that possibly can take place.

There still will be eating of the cookie, and you will see it happen, see the taste of it, see the whole process clearly. But you wont remember it. That is all that can ever happen when eating cookies.

Communication is not possible between two human beings.  There is only self reflections going on. If two “non dual persons” meet, then  the inner dialog becomes obvious. There is a joy in this kind of meetings. The other “person” may remind you of other aspects of existence. The non reacting attitude towards these phenomena you share, so there is really only One speaking through two.

When a “liberated person” meets someone caught up in mind, there is only the “mind captured” person doing all the speaking. From the liberated one there is no agenda or will or urge to speak about anything.

So really, the liberated one just reflects the caught up one. This seems to not be totally clear for any searcher. But it is a good clue. Listen to the conversation. That is you speaking. Sometimes stupid, sometimes wise.

The real and only guru is within…

It can only happen without you.

So belief in meaning makes you become separate from it.

You can only change the flow of which you are a “part”.

When you become what you really are, things that matters are affected by you,

but really, you are no longer, and that is what  is letting things flower around “you”.

You are the space that allows. But this is just a pointer with words. You are not, and not the space, and you are not allowing anything. You are really only not. And therefore “part” of all, without being a part. You are what is.

Enlightenment was just a phase. Still separate. A happening. Something. You are no longer that.

You experience nothing. Laughter and bliss happens sometimes, but it is no longer constant. It happens, and also, sometimes you scratch your nose, but not all the time. You are not scratching your nose. It itches and scratching happens.

There is nothing wrong. You may believe that it is gone now, when bliss is gone. But bliss was a carrot. It was something. And now it is no more. There are no states.

This can not go away. Because, what this is, is nothing. It isnt. How could “what isnt” go away? What isnt and what is, is the same. The beginning and the end, A and O…  (Aoum… some say, but really, its OumAOumA…) This is how you are everything, how you can embrace everything, but embracing totally nothing at all.

Look inside. Not outside.

So for you, to whom this seems to have happened. You can never believe in things anymore. And it happened through this insight. That this is it. You saw it, and then it happened by itself. You didnt make it happen. Actually all you did, was to stop doing anything. And then… what is real immediately appeared.

You could not see it before.

Now you may think there is a meaning with this. That you could save the world, now when you see everything totally clear and undistorted.

You can not do anything. You didnt do it. You left and it appeared. The beliefe in any meaning with this will take you away from it. All you do will be apart from it and without any truth in it. You will become a creator again. You will create and all created has bad consequences. It will look like you are doing good, holding satsangs and looking calm and shining and full of bliss and with empty eyes. But you will create suffering.

Even, if a guru accepts donations, why is he or she doing this? He believes that he needs a place to live, that he needs food, that it matters if he lives. It doesnt. This guru is creating suffering, through his grace.

It may be tempting to benefit from this. And very easy.

When you know the truth, everyone will understand that you are part of it. Your words will be true. You can conquer the spiritual world. Easily.

But then you trade the diamond for wordly pleasures. You will be caught in samsara, as some call it.

You will exploit those who trust in you.

Tell them to leave. And let them stay. If someone give you something, you can accept it if it feels like the obvious, , but dont ask for it.

You have no purpose and no free will. There are no questions. If you think there is, be glad that you can see them, because then you can easily see through these last illusions.

Breath out

breath in

and out again

keep on doing this.

Try to feel the point where the breathing turns…

from out…  to in…

what is there?

Tell me. What do you feel?

Focus intensely on this point.

You are not there.

You are weightless there.

And now… what is there in a point 50 cm in front of your chest heart?

Merge these two points. It is the same point

There it is.

Surrender to what ever is there.

What is there?

Something real.

Dont you want to be free like this for ever. Every moment.

Its possible.

You can leave the prison of the mind for good.

Be sure of this.

Its the truth.

I am telling you, it is the truth…

There are no miracles.

Because they are real.

Do it! Dont believe me! Do it now! Dont think! Just do it! Have trust, have fait! I will happen if you let it, and dont doubt it!

Do not believe your next thought.

And feel this point.

Do not belive your next thought.

And breath.

Dont focus your eyes. Let all things blur…

Dont believe any thought.

And breath.

My awakening…

It wasn´t really mine.

I begin with saying this because it isn´t obvious to most people. People tend to believe that someone can awaken, but the awakening isn´t even happening to the “what is”.

There is knowing on a conceptual level. Seeing doesnt need that.

There is seeing, which is not intelligent in the sense we usually think of intelligence. Its unlimited and sees only the truest image of the ungraspable. But it doesn´t label or judge or even feel.

There is “what is” which is everything (and nothing) in universe (in what is).

There is mind. (You as you believe yourself to be)

There is knowing (which is stupidity), often referred to as “Intelligence”.

So, my awakening didnt happen to me as the mind. The mind lost the battle and can take no credit even if the mind would like nothing more.

It didnt happen to the ever present “what is”.

It didnt happen to the intelligence which is nothing but an insufficiently working computer, with the same powers as a calculator.

Did it happen to the seeing then?

Well, the seeing was wordlessly trapped in the hands of the mind. Seeing saw through the lies of the mind and the lame arguments founded on evidence relating to other evidence in all eternity – this provided by the calculator – the intelligence.

The seeing didnt suffer and didnt interfere.

Then Mind got too clever and self-destructed.

Mind saw that it could not change what other people thought – in personally important matters. It was impossible.

Mind had to realize that every mind was relative to that particular minds experiences and that all minds was entitled to their own perception. There were no substance in mind. No truth. Nothing. Just a bundle of stories that carried each other.

So mind gave up and said, ok, I understand, Its ok with me.

Mind surrendered. It was defeated and didnt even realize the magnitude of this event.

Seeing was freed.

Seeing had no empathy for or, affection towards anything, so judgement, feelings, anger exclusive love, depression, resentment, laziness, procrastination, urge, desire, memory, dreams and thoughts… had to go. It fell away. It burned in a fire that lasted for 50 days and 50 nights.

Fear of death burned. All fears burned.

During this period there were no difference between being awake or asleep. Lucid dreaming of nothingness that looked like an absence of all one could never ever imagine accompanied by the soundless sound that lay as a unhearable tone over all that wasnt there. And this was something. It was real. Nothing the former “me” had ever seen was ever so totally clear or real.

Pure bliss for 50 days.  Every concept were brought into daylight and looked upon once again. And then… nothing.

The concepts never returned.

Mind never returned.

Memory or stories was gone.

Will, striving, desire or dreams was gone and still are.

I can not get angry anymore.

I have no friends. But I see everyone equally. I allow them fully to be. The meaning of this allowing can not be overestimated. It may sound futile but is more profound then love. Many call it love, I call it allowing.

People walk through my body in a remote distance and the effect is visible but hard to describe. What happens nowadays is that created stuff in vanishing through the non reacting space that we may call “me”. I am not but that is rare.

I have seen that I can not give this to anyone.

I have also seen that there is no meaning, that needs anyone to believe in it.

When I saw clearly the dysfunction in the human mind, It was easy believe that this easily could and should change.

Its ok as it is. It shouldnt be any other way.

People are not good or kind. Quite the opposite if there were such. The finest of people think only of them self.

All I know think only of them selves without even a short pause.

Everyone I ever met.

Thats the way it should be. Thats ok.

But the beeings hold hostage and dwelling inside them are pure and beautiful.

It is to them I am adressing this message:

You are not your mind!

You are what you are. Without your thoughts. And only this.

To the mind I want to say:

You are such a good fighter. You never loose. You never give up. I know things are tough sometimes but still you never give up. You can acchieve everything. You can probably acchieve enlightenment and become a new prophet. You fight for your family and for your friends. You can do everything!
Everything you can accomplish.

Everything except this:

“You can never surrender” That you can not do. You are inadequate, and insufficient. A mind with limits. A limited mind.

You can never win, you can never do this, you can never give up.

You are not made to do that you know.

Well… are you? Can you?

Can you give up, if only for a second.

For a second let go of yourself?

Or are you afraid you will vanish?

So ask yourself this question:

by what is the perceiver of all things percieved. Who sees the one who sees. Look inside…

I can´t pass this diamond on…

I cant give you the diamond…

but I can tell you how it looks, so that you recognize it when you see it.

First impression, its totally ordinary.

I can tell you to treasure it, its wort all there is.

I can tell you to not trade it away for recognition or fame or money or friends or status or short lived fun.

I can tell you to hold on to it for a while.

That is all I can do.

I started this blog in order to pass this insight on. There were still a hope that that could be done. Now there is no hope.

It cant be done by me. It has to be done by you.

But if there is any confusion once onto it, then please let me know.

The confusion can be severe, and may scare you away from the diamond. Be brave. Do not doubt what you see, when you see there is no me.

I have only five followers on this blog up to date, and maybe 5-20 readers a day. Please comment on my posts, it will be worth it. I will not be kind but totally honest. That is not the worst thing. You can probably take it.

Please send a request for a subject, I would gladly write about any of the facets of this jewel called “it”.

This is it.

Look.

Around you.

The universe begins behind at your feet.

But you are not your body, so where does it begin.

You are it.

What you see is it.

What you see is what is.

And that is all there is, end ever was.

Now is the only moment there ever was.

Now, answer this:

Who are you who can see your self.

To see your self you have to be separated from your self.

So, who sees what.

Please answer this. That is the gateway to nirvana. The end of all searching.

Who are you who sees your self.

Answer this.
