The Secrets of Existence
I'm not asking you to believe me, investigate, see things for yourself. The
greatest secret of existence is: you're living life with a mistaken identity!!!
You believe that you're a body with a mind, an entity with a unique
personality. You erroneously believe that you were born into an existing world
where you've been moving around, acting by your own will.
That is not a fact.
You need a lot of energy to understand this secret, so go slowly.
The goal of your birth
Try to take advantage of your birth. If you make even a small effort to
understand who you are, that will change your entire life.
Birth is not for merely doing household and worldly duties, engaged in
mechanically repetitive activities. One day you will surely die what will
remain then? Just another wasted life in an endless number of births.
Think of why you were born. Why are you here?
The purpose of your birth is to obtain knowledge by realizing your Self.
Instead, you involve yourself in various things and waste this priceless human
body.
You, for yourself, must discover Truth in order to obtain the ultimate peace.
This is called the goal of a human being.
I urge you to find out who you are and to behave accordingly. You are
all-pervading awareness, without quality, without shape and you are not
entangled in worldly life at all. Realize your Self and be what you are.
Identification with body and mind
Your sense of yourself does not reside in any particular part of your physical
body. Your body is a mass of flesh, bones, and blood a collective assembly of
parts such as hands, nose, liver, etc. All of these parts you call "mine," and
the body is considered "my body."
The sense of yourself is not in the body, neither as a tenant nor as its
owner. The sense of ownership over a body is identification with the body. It
is accepted because it is taken for granted, never investigated.
Once accepted, identification with the physical body creates birth and death
and life's passions: greed, desires, hatred, cravings, and pride
(self-importance), which are natural qualities of bodily expression.
Identification with the physical body is mentality the state of mind or conviction that the sense of yourself possesses
the body, that "you" are related to the physical body.
In truth, the physical body is driven by emotions. Whatever emotions put forth
is carried out by the physical body.
Your entire knowledge of this world is based on comparison "something is like
this" or "something is like that." It is a knowledge of contradictory
thoughts.
The world
This world is like a dream. And in this dream-like world, whatever is
considered to be good or bad, merit or sin, or anything in the realm of
morality, is of no consequence in the process of awakening to the Self.
Humanity has become entangled in the world-illusion from birth and lives in
bondage.
Material objects are only temporary appearances. Become convinced that
objects, comforts, and attachments cannot truly provide happiness then the
apparent reality of the world automatically fades away. The false nature of
material objects must be understood.
Because of the transient nature of things, the fear of dissolution is
inevitable. You are overpowered by the fear of death and constantly strive to
ensure that nothing is taken from you. You take every precaution to save your
money, try hard to stop aging, and struggle to keep your social status and
authority.
Only self-knowledge continues after death and it should be known why you're living. Self-knowledge makes you
fearless, free from self-imposed fears.
"I" sense
The secret of existence is that
the sense of self ("I" sense) is just that: a sense.
Awakening is breaking the identification of that sense with body and mind.
Once you understand that a particular thing is not yours, you become
indifferent to it.
Understand that the body-mind is not "yours," and whatever properties your
body may possess will not affect you. Keep the physical body in mint
condition, treat it as a tool or a vehicle, but understand what it really is.
Separate the "I am" sense from body, emotions, and thoughts. It is only a
thought that binds "I" as a possession of the body and that thought must be
broken first.
Desires, fears, love, hate... you think it is "you." You get stuck talking to
yourself, explaining, hoping but life has no explanations to give. It is an
empty, meaningless flow of events that just go on and on.
Whatever happens has little or no importance. You are born and you live. I
mean: you sleep, eat, shit, fuck, work, and work and work more until you die.
Be aware of your mortality!
You're still young and healthy, so you're not thinking of your mortality.
If you did know the exact date of your death, your life would be quite
different.
What if you were born with the knowledge of the exact date and the way of your
end?
While this is, of course, impossible, it's an interesting hypothetical
scenario with a great influence on you as an individual and on your life in
general.
No matter where you are in the world, your day-to-day life would fundamentally
change as a result of knowing when and how you were due to die. Your life’s
only purpose would be the question of how to spend your limited time on this
Earth. Wonder why this isn’t the case now?
This society drills into your head, day and night people who "made it!" Made
what? Maybe they became rich. So what? They are still, or even more,
frightened and confused. They are puppets, like the rest of this modern
society.
What does it mean, "made it"? Having a lot of money, a big house, and an
expensive car have nothing to do with being a success. Do you call that making
it?
Live life without self-concerns
Answer for yourself. I just want to tell you that you are being cheated your
whole life, living in a world of false beliefs, false preconceptions, having a
personality based on nothing but imagination.
You give a shit and that’s why you are unhappy, stressed, and depressed. You
create, project, and maintain your own image of reality.
Have you seen them? Articles, books, and internet pages about how to get rich,
how to change your habits, how to change yourself from a loser (as you are
now) to a winner (sometime in the near or not-so-near future). Those articles
and books are designed to give you a bad feeling about yourself. Nothing else!
Take this truth about life. Don’t complicate simple words. You are pushed to
believe that you have to succeed in whatever you do. You follow ridiculous
ideals which you will never attain. Stop following lies in the name of truth.
Stop displaying enormous ignorance in the name of knowledge.
Living life without self-concern is the last secret of
existence. It is true bravery to live that kind of life.
Blue Universe is on the other side
Over the years, I had a lot of unusual spiritual experiences. I literally
broke my mind a couple of times. But at one point, in 2008, I had a period of
clarity without thoughts. I did not grasp any truth. There were no
explanations. It was just simple clarity. And then I "saw" or rather I was
dark blue universe.
Stop seeking anything in this world because there is nothing to be found.
What’s important is discovering, without any doubt, that "personality" does
not exist. That’s all.
Enlightenment is not written in the script of daily life, nor is it writable
at all. All that happens in life is to exhaust you of personal self, to break
up your pride.
