The Illusion Of Self | Light Of The Spirit

in #life5 years ago (edited)

The era we live in looks like the most advanced one until now, but we've never been farther away from reality.

We are witnessing global depression higher than ever whilst many so called experts (depressed themselves) are guiding masses to acquire benefits.

Experts coming from sciences based on wrong roots, becoming so associated with what they learned that it made them fell even deeper in the rabbit hole.

Now they watch the whole world through their pair of glasses...

Session with psychologist won't help you. Psychology only focuses on the mind, and mind is the number 1 reason of depression. It might make you feel temporary better, but in the long run it will push you deeper in illusion.

The bombardment of the mind is so strong since we were children that everyone identify with their thoughts automatically and majority can't even handle the idea of not being a thought, nor body.

I think, therefore I am was the biggest possible misdirection for Spirituality of Western cultures. It's the clearest representation of reality today and you can thank Rene Descartes for that.

As a matter of fact, Rene himself was trying meditation out but reached a point where he was too afraid to go deeper. To afraid to go to the place where thoughts don't exist... Therefore, he concluded that was a demon and never ever went deeper. What happened here simply put was, Rene lost a battle against his mind, 1 more time. One more and last time his mind convinced him it was him. And here we are...

In the I think therefore I am era... Look around yourself. Look inside yourself. Are you really embracing this life for what it really is? Are you the pilot of your destiny or is your life simply a set of coincidences?

Be careful about it, cause less present you are, more you'll allow outer factors to determine the quality of your life. And faster will timer go... Timer that's limited. Yet many of us take it for granted, like it will count forever.

Spending our time here on variety of illusions, searching for pleasure in outer sources which are temporary and non existent.

As Hermetists simply stated: A strong and wise man rules his stars, but a negative, weak person is ruled by them.

And that's how it is. But the strength doesn't determine how much you can lift on a bench press. The true strength is how many times you can get out of illusion of the mind and be present in the now. Here and now, the only thing that is real. Reality...

You see, reality is always real. It always was, it always will be. There is a single imminent reality directly experienced by everyone, which is simultaneously the source, the substance and the real nature of everything that exists.

The real self, or real I (eye) is contrary to perceptible experience, not an experience of individuality but a non personal all inclusive awareness. It is not to be confused with the individual self which is essentially non existent. Being a fabrication of the mind which obscures the true experience of real self. The real self is always present and always experienced, but mind is always pushing itself to be first. The EGO or call it however you want, fabrication of what you think you are... All the traumas, experiences, wounds, patterns, triggers and everything you collected while being associated with it. It's a whole lot of trash... Trash that won't let you embrace this life for what is truly is.

You are always here, when you sleep, dream or in the wakened state. All of these are just states, but you always are. It's just, the sleeping state and dreaming one are short so everyone figured wakened one is real. But it isn't, it's pretty much like dreaming state just much more realistic.

Deep sleep is the place where there is no EGO, and that's the thing everyone are actually craving for. Have you ever heard anyone say I need more bad sleep? I don't think so. Everyone want to have the best quality sleep, and it's that easy - that's what we want. Liberation. Our pure essence is liberation, so everyone wants to get liberated in some kind of way. It's just, many search for it in wrong places, being convinced it comes from outer factors 1 more time... But it doesn't, true liberation comes from the depth of your very self. Perfect peace and joy that always is. When you touch it for the first time you shall realize, you don't need anything from this physical matrix to be fulfilled. That's the catch here, you see, cause many are trying to get fulfilled by focusing on external factors... that kind of fulfillment empties faster than it took to get it full. But real self always was and always is, perfect peace and joy, your very nature...

Try to recognize what is real and what is not. Give more of your time to real and try to ignore the illusion... You will feel GOOD.

Mother I feel you under my feet, mother I hear your heartbeat

Mother I hear you in the river song, eternal waters flowing on and on

Father I see you when the eagle flies, light of the Spirit is gonna take us higher.......

Is that how people define ego, as subconscious memories, collections, thoughts, feelings, etc? I believe in the soul that can be observing what we collect in life. So, I think I agree with you. Resteemed. Upvoted.

Nope, not really. That's how I define it... Haha

Soul or the real self, call it how you want :P

Are you making a contrast between what some people say the ego is and what you say it is? I want to know the difference between the two.
