The road to freedom: "Inner Architecture" is going to be my personal book that I'm starting to write. Before it goes anywhere else I'm going to share it here with you beautiful people :). This is the RAW and unrefined version, no edits no BS.

The original name was going to be the road to Enlightenment but honestly, Enlightenment is not much different that freedom.

This first release will be an overview, after this article I'm starting off with chapter 1 part 1 and so on until completion, nobody knows where this will lead or how many chapters it will have so we can see together how this goes.

So without further due, let us dive in.

Overview

“These are the three stages of enlightenment, the three glimpses of satori.

1. The first stage enlightenment:
   A Glimpse of the Whole

The first stage of enlightenment is short glimpse from faraway of the whole. It is a short glimpse of being.
The first stage of enlightenment is when, for the first time, for a single moment the mind is not functioning. The ordinary ego is still present at the first stage of enlightenment, but you experience for a short while that there is something beyond the ego.
There is a gap, a silence and emptiness, where there is not thought between you and existence.
You and existence meet and merge for a moment.
And for the first time the seed, the thirst and longing, for enlightenment, the meeting between you and existence, will grow in your heart.

1. The second stage of enlightenment:
   Silence, Relaxation, Togetherness, Inner Being

The second stage of enlightenment is a new order, a harmony, from within, which comes from the inner being. It is the quality of freedom.
The inner chaos has disappeared and a new silence, relaxation and togetherness has arisen.
Your own wisdom from within has arisen.
A subtle ego is still present in the second stage of enlightenment.
The Hindus has three names for the ego:

1. Ahamkar, which is the ordinary ego.

2. Asmita, which is the quality of Am-ness, of no ego. It is a very silent ego, not aggreessive, but it is still a subtle ego.

3. Atma, the third word is Atma, when the Am-ness is also lost. This is what Buddha callas no-self, pure being.
   In the second stage of enlightenment you become capable of being in the inner being, in the gap, in the meditative quality within, in the silence and emptiness.
   For hours, for days, you can remain in the gap, in utter aloneness, in God.
   Still you need effort to remain in the gap, and if you drop the effort, the gap will disappear.
   Love, meditation and prayer becomes the way to increase the effort in the search for God.
   Then the second stage becomes a more conscious effort. Now you know the way, you now the direction.

4. The third stage of enlightenment:
   Ocean, Wholeness, No-self, Pure being

At the third stage of enlightenment, at the third step of Satori, our individual river flowing silently, suddenly reaches to the Ocean and becomes one with the Ocean.
At the third Satori, the ego is lost, and there is Atma, pure being. You are, but without any boundaries. The river has become the Ocean, the Whole.
It has become a vast emptiness, just like the pure sky.
The third stage of enlightenment happens when you have become capable of finding the inner being, the meditative quality within, the gap, the inner silence and emptiness, so that it becomes a natural quality.
You can find the gap whenever you want.
This is what tantra callas Mahamudra, the great orgasm, what Buddha calls Nirvana, what Lao Tzu calls Tao and what Jesus calls the kingdom of God.
You have found the door to God.
You have come home.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten

There is no such thing as a painless lesson in life, without pain to push us we would never see the means needed to push our consciousness further. It does not take a quantum physicists to take right decisions, for within our decisions lies the one small spark that holds within itself the the one pure essence of the notion, the essence named "Hope". Hope is not for the weak it is for the ones that want to move forward, it is for the ones that seek to be better at being themselves. It is for the strong and independent, for they need to place "Hope" only to see it as a marker of guidance.

The inner structure/architecture of a man defines the outer expression of his being, it is that structure which turns and shifts the world around us and not the other way around. To master life one first needs to master himself. It is through pain, suffering and sacrifice that we may truly see our worth, knowing that we can withstand something refines the spirit and sheds a new light of motivation that goes beyond the patterns of a "Well Structured" life.

Let us turn our attention to the way we live life here. We speak of "Hell" as if it was a place where man is sent to suffer and have his free will restricted. Well if that was the case why do I see hell everywhere I turn my head to? Born to be everything else but not that which we truly want to be, ourselves, the version of us that lie dormant and places "Hope's" like a machine gun, getting bashed by hammers in the "Void" of silence.

As there is "Hell" there is "Heaven", but it takes a fool to go to "Hell", it takes no effort for you are already there, it takes a "Hero" to stand up and crawl towards "Heaven", leaving tears of hope as he crawls through the flames and watches his brother's and sister's, being enslaved by their own illusion of happiness.

This book is for the heroes that seek to crawl.

There is no such thing as a painless lesson.

Pain is an illusion made by the lack of freedom.
