Self-realization is realizing that 'you' are pure consciousness. However, it is still the same 'you' experiencing this as such! What is being discovered in self-realization is simply the impersonal side of awareness. Awareness without content. As if you suddenly discovered that you also have an invisible back! In fact, no special discovery at all. Impersonal awareness is nothing new. Most of the daily waking state is impersonal awareness.
It is part of everyday reality. 'I am' forgets itself thousands of times a day. It is more often ignorant of itself than it is knowing. The awareness of presence cannot sustain itself permanently. That takes too much energy. "I am" seemingly turns on and off like light from a lighthouse. This is quite normal, but it is hardly noticed because 'I am' is only enlivened when attention on an apparent presence detects itself. "I am" is the ghost of the opera.
A chimera. Presence is imagination!
The nullity of the brain has no boarder.
Nobody is asleep. Nobody wakes up. There is nothing wrong with anything. There is no right and wrong. There is no answer to the question "Who am I ?!" There is nobody! Nothing is bound. Nothing is broken. Life is free fall from the moment it breaks out of the egg. From the moment a body rolls out of its sheath, it flies around freely in the bright light. Without past and future. Like a free bird with no destination. Inviolable and invincible. Singing of herself. There is all the freedom that doesn't have to be sought and found! Paradise is already all that appears. Nothing excepted. Nobody is born, nobody dies. Death is illusory.
Death does not happen to anyone. There is nobody! There is no death before and after life. Life propagates from the joy of Being.
Liberation is the seeming end of a nonexistent presence. Liberation is the death of the illusion of being someone. Liberation is the absolute end of seeking. In that end nothing has been found, nothing has been realized and nobody has awakened to a higher, better or an immortal consciousness. There is no higher or lower consciousness. Not a conscious entity. No center. No limit. None here and none there. Nowhere to go. Nowhere to arrive. There is no 'you' that is already there or already is what it is. No 'you' that precedes all that appears and rests as an eternal witness. Not an absolute and pure consciousness that is the truth. There is simply no one to be anything that's out there. Not now or immediately! Because that is also the dream. Everything is the dream. There is nothing else! People are nothing more or less than a dream. Imagination in the cerebral cortex. Effortlessly nonexistent. Nowhere present. Neither absolutely nor relative.
What seems to be alive is pure vibrancy. Without center. Without Borders. There is no way out of it and there is no way in. That there should be a way out and an entrance is the dream. There is no one in the dream who needs to get out or in somewhere.
The everyday is what apparently happens. Eyelid film.
Spontaneously without cause and effect. Reality is not a story. It's without beginning and end, seamless, effortless no-thing .....
