From the Nameless/God, Through Life, to the Nameless/God

Before birth, there was no you. No image, no name, no thought, no experience. There was not even the one who says, ‘I am.’ There was only the vast, unconditioned, the nameless, unmeasured, unknowable. That's what real God, Being is. And that is what You truly are. Therefore, God can not be realized, because it is already You. Therefore, God / You only Be. Not the accumulation of memory, not the story of experience, not the image shaped by society. You are not the movement of becoming, but the stillness before it began. The body was born, yes, but the Being behind the body was never born. It has no history. It cannot die, for it was never defined. But what is born, the body, the mind, the structure of thought accumulates. It collects pleasure and pain, memories and conclusions. It becomes the “me” the known, the describable, the limited. And death, whether of the body or the mind is the ending of this accumulation. A surrendering of everything you’ve ever gathered, ever identified with. "To die before you die" is the greatest freedom. Then you live without fear. Without holding. Without grasping. Enjoy this life, not as a clinging. But as an unfolding moment. The sky, the laughter, the sorrow, the light touching a leaf, see it all, without the burden of becoming. For it is the first and the last moment, always. And when death comes, as it will, you return to that Being, God or unnamable, which is untouched by name or memory. So live now, not as one who owns life, but as one who is free from it. There, in that freedom, is joy. Best Regards,
