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. -

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. -

Of course, that's all the point. Knowing is the biggest illusion. There is no "I" nor "this". Words can only point. -
James123 replied to Chadders's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
All knowledge is literally entire veil that hides the true Self. When you drop or surrender you / self, what remains is Pure Being which is You. -

İf the thinker is the biggest illusion? İf you realize nobody knows jack, what is "you" and "realization"? -
James123 replied to ExploringReality's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Imagine every thought triggering another, forming a vast network. For example, by thinking we have a body and a brain, and believing it. That's how we create our so called reality. Each thought sparks the next. As I said before, the mind is a context. But when you go deeper, you see that the mind, the universe, context, enlightenment, and every word are all just thoughts. And when one simply observes these thoughts, one clearly sees that truly there is nothing there. -

I am sorry to interrupt, but what about: Genuinely, genuinely "Not Knowing"? It is actually unnamable (because any knowledge belongs to mind), but the closest word can maybe be "Being". -

@Princess Arabia my brother and sister, there is truly no one left to defend and no one to offend. Life is too short to dislike someone. I am everything. And Love you both. -

Anytime my brother. Yes, The mind is a context. -
James123 replied to ExploringReality's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Words and context are fleeting and limited. They arise and disappear in the mind. But the essence behind all words, the love, which is reflection of pure being that connects is the Self / Being itself. True understanding transcends language and is the direct awareness of the reason behind the creation of words. -

There is nothing left / there, no name, gender, culture, experience, belief or ideas etc... That's what We really are. Unknown and unnameable, because knowledge belongs to so called mind / self / duality. -

Sure. Tell to mind this: Google translate, voice recording, translate Turkish to English, copy and paste. 😊 -

Mr. Nobody 😊 What bothers you so much? 😊 Tell the mind to decide that I am writing from a book or copying from online author or using chat gpt? 😊 Brother, do not trust the mind / you. Even when it sees the truth, it judges it as now. It tries to escape by finding excuses. But when death comes, there is nowhere left to run. Surrender before it is too late. -
James123 replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I thought it was chat gpt, now is book? 😊 Love you, man. Forget who wrote it, focus only on what is written. Then, let even what is written go. 😊 -

Hugging, crying and loving without a word spoken. -
James123 replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Thank you. However, even if you do or don't, I love you. -

Hey brother. Check this out, -

In fact, the body and brain do not create experiences or thoughts. To cling to thought is to cling to the idea that you possess a body and brain. Attachment to thoughts and words, and speaking from that attachment comes from the ego. However, True speech and action arise naturally from the Self /Being when there is no clinging to the ego or its mental constructs. Thus, speaking without attachment reflects abiding as the Self. The source beyond body, mind, and ego. -

If we dismiss the absolute, then the implications or meaning of “context” become fluid. Shifting endlessly with perception and understanding, both of which belong to the mind. What I’m aiming to address here is not the variable meanings that context can take, but rather what “context” is in its absolute sense, independent of interpretation. -
James123 replied to ExploringReality's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I just answered your question above 😊 When one realizes that everything is Divine, all distinctions dissolve. No more contexts, no more lasagna, no separations at all. There is only the Divine itself, and its reflection: love. This understanding weaves all words and context (including meaning of context) together, connects our conversations, and even binds the taste of lasagna into the same sacred thread. -

It is not nothing. It is genuinely, genuinely Not Knowing. -

I’d say cheese, tomatoes, pasta and 😊 But, the real magic is the part you can’t name, which is the part that makes it taste like heaven. -
James123 replied to ExploringReality's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Thought. Imagination. Literally, there is nothing there. -

The moment you see / know there is no "other," you drop the idea of knowing. There is only the One without a second. No teacher, no student, just the silence of the heart. That’s why I call it wisdom, not knowledge. From all these all writings, you are just stick / stuck with one sentence? 😊 The mind will want to understand; the heart simply melts. Just love man just love. That melting is the Truth. -
1. Set Your Intention Begin with this heartfelt intention: O Allah/God/Om/Being, make me a witness to Your presence in all that I do. Let this intention ground your practice, inviting awake, loving presence. 2. Anchor in Divine Remembrance (Dhikr/Mantra) Choose a sacred phrase to silently repeat in rhythm with your breath: Allāh, Lā ilāha illā Allāh, Hu (He), So’ham (I am That). Inhale calmly, exhale gently saying your mantra once or twice. Let this flow beneath your actions like a steady river. 3. Witness All That Arises Without Control When thoughts, emotions, or sensations appear, gently pause the mantra and ask: “Who is aware of this?”, Rest as the silent witness, seeing everything exactly as it is, without trying to control, change, or judge. 4. Live Love in Action Allow the body to move, speak, and serve naturally while keeping the heart centered in remembrance. See all beings as expressions of the Divine and silently bless them: "May you be safe, may you be at peace.” Let love and humility guide every act. 5.Use Breath as Your Anchor to Presence With each breath: Inhale presence and calm. Exhale your dhikr/mantra silently. This anchors you in the eternal Now, the timeless moment of witness. 6. Micro Practices Throughout the Day Pause regularly to: Feel your feet grounded. Take three deep breaths with your mantra. Send silent blessings to anyone and everyone. These moments refresh your awareness and loving presence. 7. Surrender Completely to the Flow and Trust the Being That Is Always Now Let go of all control or resistance. Rest as the pure witness, allowing life and all its experiences to unfold as they are. Trust in the Being that is always Now, The timeless presence that underlies all. 8. Keep Dhikr / Mantra Alive During Speech Maintain silent dhikr / mantra in your heart even when talking. Speak divine phrases aloud naturally and sincerely, such as: Bismillah, Alhamdulillah, Insha’Allah, when appropriate. 9. Allow the Body to Act Freely The body moves and behaves naturally do not try to control it. Be aware, but do not interfere. Let awareness observe the flow without attachment. 10. Close the Day with Gratitude and Remembrance Before sleep: Repeat your dhikr/mantra slowly as much as. Reflect gently on moments you were awake and loving, and moments you forgot. Express heartfelt gratitude to Allah or your chosen Divine Name for the gift of awareness. Key points: Awareness without effort or judgment, Living in the Now, The futility of control and resistance, Integration of inner silence and outer action. Important Points: To not hold onto any technique as a belief, idea, crutch or fixed path, but to remain open the flow of itself. That truth is a pathless land. Therefore no method or teacher (if turned into a belief or idea, instead of letting go or surrendering those ideas or beliefs) can replace your own clear perception and freedom from conditioning. Best Regards,
