What makes up this I character? If that body was born in Russia it would have a completely different set of beliefs and outlooks. I is a product of external cultural conditioning which includes the way your parents or guardians helped raise that body from a young age. You were told you are a separate unique individual with free will and choice yet given all the ingredients to be that individual. It can be seen clearly that this I character is just a concept. When this is seen clearly the I construct can become loose and unstable like a house of cards. This can be difficult because the I construct wants something solid to hang onto and identify as. This I construct does not like instability and it will paint a doomsday picture. Its unreality needs to simply be seen clearly. ❤

Its freedom from identification as the individual that believes it needs to find something or get somewhere. A disentangling from the socially conditioned matrix of mind known as ME.

There isn't a core Self that's the same illusion. ❤

There isn't an imaginary self(lower self) and then a real self(higher self). They are both the same illusion. ❤

He he yeah you can't get closer or further away from everything. There's nothing that needs to happen or not happen. Liberation is freedom from should and should not.

The word truth implies that there is something false. There is nothing false, only misunderstandings. The experience that you are a separate individual that can one day find something within everything called truth is a misunderstanding. There is only everything without separation. Love it or hate it.....It's the only show in town ❤

? Like throwing out the baby with the bathwater, smashing the bathtub, burning the house down and then realizing the house was never real ?

The map the territory the apparent disagreements all the words and all the emotional experiences are all THIS. It's not somewhere else it's already THIS. ❤

? Yes, the root cause of suffering is identification as the individual desperately seeking for a better experience in the future. The individual is like a self-centered ball of judgment. When things go according to the individuals agenda they are called good. When they go against the individuals agenda they cause conflict/suffering because it's resisted. This individual is not real although it seems to be and in that sense calling it an illusion seems to fit well. Nice inquiry ❤

@nistake ? thx for the share!

Who is asking?

There isn't a limitless conscious Self that's a fairy tale produced by the ego which thinks it's important. There's no separation because there isn't a separate self period. Not a higher or a lower self, no self at all in any term whatsoever.

❤ ?

Yeah bro, the bliss is the full acceptance of what is. It's the underlying recognition that it's all well. ❤

Be aware that Enlightenment has nothing to do with happiness. It's simply freedom from the individual that judges apparent happenings as good or bad. So it's the transcendence of happiness or sadness if you will. Freedom for No One ❤

?

It's the acceptance that whichever way it goes, It's what's happening.

The Big Bang is just a theory of how THIS came to be. It's just a theory. Scientists say it's important to know and understand how existence came to be. Some people enjoy trying to understand how the cookie came to be. Either way the cookie is always being eaten.

It doesn't matter in the sense that whatever concept of Truth you place on top of reality has no real effect.... now granted it seems to, but ultimately that perspective experience is illusory. This is exactly why it's called Awakening. It simply cannot be grasped from the dualistic paradigm.... you will just keep spinning in circles. The first illusion of being a separate individual that can one day find the truth has to be seen through. So in essence the first misunderstanding leads to infinite misunderstandings on the journey..... which also doesn't matter at all. ❤

Everyone wants a better version or perspective of reality. Reality must feel so insulted ?

Great video ? Yes, infinite different perspectives about the nature of physical reality and or the standpoint that it's unknowable or ungraspable, does not constitute it as being a complete illusion either. (Jim Newman calls it real & unreal) Some gurus are pointing to a bigger picture understanding that the nature of reality is impermanence and therefore dreamlike or ultimately unreal.... for example: The rock will eventually break down into smaller rocks and the smaller rocks into sand and the sand into dust and so on. The body that is temporarily perceiving reality will eventually die and decompose and so on. Obviously this big picture understanding gives a different feel to the meaning of the word reality. If everything is temporary then is there anything that's ultimately real? ❤
