Enlightenment: Beyond God-Consciousness and the Infinite

[James123]

Enlightenment Beyond God Consciousness and the Infinite: The Vanishing of the Becomer and Experiencer:

Find out who become or experience the Infinite or God consciousness, and that one will vanish.

The very idea of becoming or experiencing presumes that you are not already That. And this assumption is the root illusion.

Truth is not found through becoming or experiencing. It is revealed only when becoming and experiencing ends.

As long as there is effort, time, or movement toward something, the ego survives in subtle form.

Enlightenment is not an experience.

All experiences have a beginning and an end. They arise and pass away.

But the Self, pure Being is changeless, formless, beyond all experience.

Yes, many may touch the Infinite or god consciousness, in deep meditation, in psychedelics, in love, in moments of ego death, in ecstasy.

These are glimpses, profound and transformative.

But they return.

The experiencer or becomer reemerges and comes back.

Enlightenment is when you don’t come back.

Not because you go somewhere else, but because the one who was experiencing and becoming, the one who would return, is no longer there.

What remains is the Self. Effortless, whole. Not a state. Not an achievement.

Just what is, when all illusion falls away.

The notion of becoming or experiencing is rooted in ignorance.

The Self is ever present, and realization is not about attaining something new, but about removing the false idea that you are separate from it.

Becoming or experiencing implies separation and time, which are unreal.

The Self is ever present, eternal, and formless, beyond all change.

Experiences or becoming arise and pass; they belong to the mind, not to the Self.

Realization is not the acquisition of experience or becoming, but the removal of ignorance, the false sense of being separate.

Enlightenment is abiding as the Self, without a returner. The “one who experience and becomes” is the ego, which vanishes upon enlightenment.

After enlightenment, there is no "you", no idea of enlightenment nor "enlightenment".

Only That remains: pure Being, the Self, You, or simply, What Is.
