Being Real Through Natural Awareness Without the Self

Life is natural. To be a real is to be natural like water, formless as if without the Self. Naturally, you are awareness the phenomenon of knowing arising due to natural constituent cause and conditions. You are neither the Self nor the inner self.

In your natural richness, you are fully aware, knowing correctly in the right context as it is and reflecting to become self-aware without the Self. You are real when fully aware and self-aware without the Self.

You are Natural Phenomenon of Awareness

Naturally, you are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing arising due to your natural constituent cause and conditions including but not limited to processes of life, your actions and effect of your tangible and intangible actions.

Naturally aware, without associating with the known and unknown, you are neither the Self nor the independent inner Self.

Awareness is natural phenomenon of knowing arising due to processes of life just like brightness is phenomenon of illumination due to dispersion of light. Like all phenomenon, you are ephemeral and empty without your constituent cause and conditions.

For you to be real, you need clear seamless awareness, the phenomenon of knowing correctly in the right context as it is. As clear seamless phenomenon of awareness, you can detach from known or unknown and reflect to become self-aware without the Self.

By becoming self-aware without the Self, you can remain aware of being aware and, recognize through intuitive insight the forgotten truth of your nature beyond the Self.

You are not the Self that arises due to your association with the known and unknown. You are neither the Self through association with ideas nor the inner Self through association with experiences.

The Self in any form is self-ignorance because the Self is artificially created through association with known and unknown ideas or experiences. Self-consciousness is nothing but stress created due to association with known and known. Self-consciousness is unhealthy just like unhealthy knee makes you conscious of it. The Self and the feeling of being inner self is unhealthy.

By being real through awareness and self-awareness without the Self, you can know correctly in the right context and live an authentic intense life with restrain and balance.

Genuine Life by Being Real as Awareness Without the Self

You are real when you are naturally aware without the Self. By being real, you live genuinely. Living genuinely means to know and live life as it is without illusions or hallucinations of the Self and the world.

Being Real You are Not Dual

Being real and fully aware without Self, you do not associate, you know correctly in the right context as it is without getting eclipsed by the Self and you can take right action without becoming inner doer. There is no duality in you in form of inner doer, inner feeler, inner knower, inner experiencer, inner self etc.

Connected to Reality

By being real you are connected to reality. Being real through seamlessly clear awareness without Self, you know experiences as they are and your response to the known and unknown is elicited spontaneously according to reality of cause and conditions and not according to the Self.

For example, when you know you are thirsty you drink water as human and not as high caste person choosy about who offers you the water. When someone hits at you, you run away or defend yourself as natural human and not suffer in silence because you are a servant or woman or fight to death for silly reason of hurt Self-image.

Self-Knowledge

By knowing the truth of your nature through spiritual enlightenment, you become real.

Being real, you are self-aware without the Self or Self-consciousness, and you are aware of your strengths, weakness, what you value in what order of priority and your principles. By being real and self-aware, you know why you are the way you are and what potential you hold.

Neither Narcissism nor Self-consciousness

Being real and self-aware without the Self, you are at ease without any Self-consciousness or narcissism. You neither have inferiority complex nor superiority complex.

To be real is to be fully aware as result of the richness of your constituent cause and conditions. It is deeper state of natural fulfilment and peace in which you feel secure in your source.

Being real through natural self-awareness without the Self, you are relaxed and stress free. You feel naturally confident, and you are naturally righteous due to freedom from subliminal stress of the Self and its negativities.

Living Skillfully by Being Real Through Awareness Without Self

You can either live and act by knowing the reality correctly in the right context through full natural awareness without the Self OR you can live and act according to the Self regardless of reality of cause and conditions.

Being real through natural awareness without Self, you are fluid, flexible, well adjusted, well adapted, resourceful through available situations and at advantage through available assets by knowing correctly in the right context. Naturally aware without the Self, you fit in harmoniously without losing yourself into reality.

As artificial Self, you are rigid, poorly adjusted, contriving, less resourceful, at conflict with reality and feel insecure due to association with known and unknown. As the Self, you may be difficult to fit in harmoniously with the reality.

As artificial Self, you react according to Self, whereas, by being real as natural awareness, your response is elicited according to the reality of cause and conditions.

Being real and naturally aware without Self, you live with the great natural flow of life, you act promptly without striving through right cause and conditions. You leave the right effect and impact of your actions harmonious with the reality. Fully aware you can take, as classically said, “actionless action”.

Being real without Self, you acknowledge the reality of ephemeral life without imposing religious wishful beliefs of afterlife or next birth. Being real as natural awareness, the phenomenon of knowing due to ephemeral constituent cause and conditions, you live the one and only opportunity of life as best as you can because you do not live Self-ignorantly as if you have afterlife, eternal life or next birth.

Being real as ephemeral awareness, the idea of supreme creator becomes irrelevant because you will no longer continue for getting judged after life.

By being real, you live here and now in the present as best as you can, creating a better future before you die, decay, disintegrate, disperse to get endlessly recycled.

Spiritual Understanding of Ephemeral Life Without Inner Self

Spirit is a phenomenon emerging like a pattern from dynamic interaction of constituent cause and conditions. Spirit is not independent of its constituent cause and conditions.

Spirit is naturally rich phenomenon arising spontaneously from dynamic interaction of harmoniously integrated constituent cause and conditions. Spirit emerges from the improved constituent cause and conditions. For example, a well-played game is said to have played with the right spirit. Great action is said to have great spirit.

Spirit is attributed to everything animate and inanimate on account of it’s constituent cause and conditions that give it special qualities and characteristics. Cause and conditions give rise to spirit but spirit does not give rise to cause and conditions just like milk becomes curd, but curd does not become milk. Hence cause and conditions has to be good for the spirit to be healthy.

Right practice of deep meditation benefits by improving the cause and conditions of life to kindle in you the spirit of seamlessly clear detached awareness reflecting to make you self-awareness without inner Self.

You are an Ephemeral Spirit of Life.

You are awareness, the spiritual phenomenon arising naturally like a pattern from dynamic interaction of your harmoniously integrated cause and conditions including but not limited to processes of life, action and effect of actions that constitute you.

As seamlessly clear awareness, you are the spiritual phenomenon of knowing correctly in the right context as it is without getting controlled by the known or known. When seamlessly clear awareness reflects and gets detached from the known and unknown, you become self-aware without the inner-self. Self-aware without inner self, you feel spiritually awakened.

Detached self-awareness through deep meditation is a spiritual phenomenon, arising like a pattern due to dynamic interactions of its constituent cause and conditions.

Spirit is ephemeral and cannot exist independent of it’s constituent cause and conditions. There is nothing eternal in life that can remain intact after life beyond disintegration of it’s constituent cause and conditions.

You are Due to Casuse and Conditions of Life.

You are an ephemeral phenomenon of life arising due to dynamic interaction of your indispensable constituent cause and conditions. You do not exist without or independent of your indispensable constituent cause and conditions.

As you know for example, you exist as effect of the actions of your ancestors and you are due to conditions of your life-processes, your actions and effect of those actions. Though your are an ephemeral phenomenon of life, you continue in the effects of your intentional actions, for example, your children and your contribution to society and environment.

You are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing, arising due to dynamic interaction of your indispensable constituent cause and conditions. You are a phenomenon, just like rainbow, horizon or brightness only appear to exist but does not really exist independent of constituent cause and conditions.

You are not the inner knower independent of your constituent cause and conditions. You are neither eternal nor immortal in any way. Hence you must live this opportunity of life as best as you can by improving the cause and conditions of life for authentic intense living.

Since independent eternal immortal inner Self or inner being is hallucination, you do not exist without your indispensable constituent cause and conditions including parents, body, process of life, actions and effects of actions just like brightness cannot exist without lamp, fuel, wick, light and dispersion of light.

All forms and phenomenon are due to harmoniously coming together of its indispensable constituent cause and conditions. Everything beyond constituent cause and conditions, for example patterns and phenomenon, arises due to dynamic interaction of constituent conditions, disintegrate with the disintegration of constituent conditions and gets recycled.

Spirit Ends with Life

There is no eternal or immortal inner Self or spirit inside you or in any life form to continue intact after life. Life is rare and impermanent. Hence, nonattachment is the key to happiness in impermanent life.

Experiences beyond life, for example past life memory or out-of-body experiences, are due to psychological and physiological conditions shaped by early life or past impressions formed and forgotten unknowingly.

There is neither past birth nor next birth because there is nothing eternal or immortal about life that is independent of its constituent cause and conditions.

Change and impermanence is a universal constant that disintegrates, disperses and recycles everything without exception. Hence, living without getting attached to the impermanent life is the right attitude while living and acting in life.

Since, you continue in the effect of your intentional actions, you should act ethically and leave a benevolent effect of your action. The effect of your actions will find it’s place just like water, air, earth, heat finds it’s space in the cycle of nature and life.

Spiritual Enlightenment is Dispelling Self-Ignorance and Being Natural.

Enlightenment is to recognize the truth and dispel ignorance. Enlightenment feels like great relief and peace due to dispelling of ignorance.

Enlightenment is recognizing your naturally rich state when you felt secure and peaceful since the beginning of your life but forgot in the hustle and bustle of life in society. By recognizing and remembering the state, you begin to restore order and peace in your life synchronously with the greater schemes of life.

Enlightenment happens when you recognize the state in which you are at peace, relaxed and stress free in the depth of meditation. After enlightenment, you can remember the state and fall back to it during any situation of life.

Spiritual enlightenment is to recognize the truth of your nature, otherwise concealed due to self-ignorance arising from self-conceptions, hallucinations and hypnosis as a result of wrong upbringings and wrong way of life.

Spiritual enlightenment is caused by recognizing the truth of your nature in state of deep peace and is not conditional or does not depend on conditions. It is simple recognition of the state of peace without any stress. After recognizing correctly, you can remember it and go back to it in the hustle and bustle of life.

You arise from nature. You are not an artificially defined imaginary idea of eternal inner soul related to supreme creator and controller. This world and life is neither solely created by one supreme factor nor can be solely controlled by any one supreme factor.

You exist as phenomenon of knowing arising due to processes of life and you involuntarily become your actions. Idea of inner self or inner being independent of your indispensable constituent conditions is a hallucination due to self-ignorance.

You are the knower but not the inner knower independent of your constituent conditions. You are the phenomenon of knowing arising due to your indispensable constituent conditions. You are aggregate result of your indispensable constituent cause and conditions.

Feeling of being inner self is hallucination created due to activities in the mind and subliminal physiological stress. Hallucination of being inner self is strengthened by hypnosis due to artificial self-image based on artificial ideas and beliefs regarding oneself.

During deep meditation when your mind is calm, body is relaxed, and energies are balanced, then your psychological personality disappears, and you are fully aware of being aware without feeling of being inner self and without hypnosis by self-image.

Without the hallucination of being inner-self and hypnosis by the Self, you are natural and effortlessly aware of being aware in between two consecutive thoughts and you experience everything without getting drawn or lost into known and unknown.

As clear seamless awareness of being aware detached from experiences, you are the phenomenon of knowing without inner knower. Like all phenomenon, as awareness, you are empty void without your indispensable constituent conditions. This recognition of the truth of your nature in state of relaxation, peace and stress relief is enlightenment resulting due to dispelling of self-ignorance.

Such natural state of awareness detached and reflecting from it’s constituent conditions, is a matured phenomenon of knowing correctly in the right context and can be recognized through intuitive insight as truth of your nature distinct from experiences. This recognition is enlightenment resulting due to dispelling of self-ignorance.

Life After Spiritual Enlightenment

Spiritual enlightenment is to be completely natural in the present moment as a result of recognizing the truth of your nature. Nothing changes in the life due to enlightenment except your ability to stay calm, stress free and at peace even in the chaos of life.

Spiritual enlightenment is a recognition of the truth of your nature as it was since the beginning of your life when you were at peace, secure and stress free with a loving mother before the formation of the Self. It is to become whole by recovering and recognizing that natural state as if never corrupted throughout your rich natural growth, maturity and development.

Spiritual enlightenment dispels self-ignorance including the hallucination of being inner self and hypnosis by self-image. After spiritual enlightenment, due to absence of hypnotic self-ignorance, you disappear psychologically just like a dream disappears when you wake up fully.

Spiritual enlightenment is like waking out of a dream or realizing that you have been enacting the self-conception and self-image due to hypnosis in the play and drama of life.

After spiritual enlightenment you are fully naturally aware without getting drawn or lost into experiences, and you live in present with the great natural flow of life without getting influenced by personal likes(cravings) or dislikes(aversions) arising from self-image.

Full awareness is unrestricted and feels like infinite deathlessness, however the feeling is simply due to harmony in the conditions of life-processes. Feeling of deathlessness is just like no notion of self during early stages of infancy.

Free from the Self, you are naturally aware and instinctively upright thus living through right thoughts, philosophies and ideas for the right reason, for right values and right principles to shape the long haul of life meaningfully.

Enlightened, you are effortlessly at peace, feeling secure and in order. It is result of recognizing yourself in naturally rich state of security, peace and order due to relief from stress due to your maturity and freedom from ignorance.

True Self-Knowledge: Detached Self-Awareness Without Self

circle of Zen EnzoDetached self-awareness dissociated from known and unknown is true self-knowledge without the Self. Detached self-awareness is reflecting awareness dissociated from the known and unknown, without the Self or feeling of being inner self.

Self-Awareness Without the Self is Self-Knowledge

You are awareness, the ephemeral natural phenomenon of knowing, arising due to dynamic interaction of your indispensable constituent cause and conditions including but not limited to processes of life, actions and effects of your actions.

As conditions of life mature and improve, awareness reflects and seems detached from known and unknown thus making you self-aware. Self-awareness is phenomenon of reflecting awareness detached from the known and unknown because there is no natural Self in reality.

Detached awareness which may also seem like awareness of being aware results into self-knowledge in form of self-awareness without the Self.

Through detached self-awareness due to true self knowledge, you can know correctly in the right context without getting influenced by the known or unknown. Awareness is natural phenomenon of knowing whereas the Self due to self-conception, self-ideation, feeling of being inner self due to association with artificial ideas like name, gender, relations, subliminal stress, class, caste, religion, nationality etc..

No Self

Like horizon, rainbow or brightness of light, all phenomena are impermanent and empty without constituent cause and conditions. This can be naturally known, verified, validated, proven, applied, demonstrated, and experienced by everyone.

The fact that you are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing due to your indispensable constituent cause and conditions, is as self-evident as the natural truth of pain, disease, old age and death. Whereas the idea of being independent inner eternal self that is judged by supreme creator & controller in the afterlife are poetic imaginations and big lies.

Life can neither be independent of it’s constituent conditions nor exist beyond disintegration of it’s constituent conditions. Life is ephemeral and empty. You cannot exist in any way without your indispensable constituent cause and conditions.

There is no eternal immortal independent inner self independent of it’s constituent cause and conditions. There is no real Self based on self-conception, self-ideation or self-identification in form of name, relation, race, class, caste, religion, gender, nationality etc.. Due to the Self and belief in eternal inner-self, you may live and act self-ignorantly.

As the Self, you may live rigidly according to self-conception, self-identification or self-ideation disharmoniously and at odds with the reality of cause and conditions. As eternal inner self, you may not value life and waste this life in anticipation of after life.

Self and feeling of being inner self is due to association with known and unknown, whereas detached self-awareness is due to harmoniously integrated processes of life, knowing correctly in the right context, without feeling of being inner-self due to dissociation from known and unknown

Cause of Self-Ignorance is Hypnosis

Ignorance is not knowing correctly in the right context. Self-ignorance is due to the Self. Self is subliminal stress due to hypnosis through association with the unknown and unknown due to various reasons like survival, adaptation etc.. Maya is ancient Pali word also used for hypnosis.

Self is a means of survival in the face of threat. When you feel insecure, knowingly or unknowingly, the Self arise and you feel self-conscious. Self in any form, without any threat to survival, is illness.

You Get Hypnotized Due to Association

Hypnosis and de-hypnosis is natural part of growth and maturity just like bonding and weaning. Hypnosis is captivation of attention voluntarily and involuntarily or knowingly and unknowingly due to association with the known or unknown.

You get hypnotized due to association with known and unknown due to some reason, for example, needs, adaptation, desires, fears, aversions, attachments etc.. For example, you get hypnotized by your carers during infancy or you may get hypnotized by some ideology due to association with that ideology out of some kind of self-interest.

You may associate with known and unknown, get hypnotized and may not know correctly in the right context. You may forget that you have been hypnotized, especially if you get hypnotized prematurely at an early age. Due to hypnosis, you may experience and hallucinate what is not there. For example, you may get hypnotized by the pomp and drama of society and give undue importance to it.

Hypnosis can make you ignorant and influence how you live, act and effect.

Self-Ignorance Due to Hypnosis

Due to hypnosis, you lose self-awareness and get hypnotized due to association with the Self and become self-ignorant.

Hypnotized by pomp and drama of society, you may hallucinate unreal ideas and believe them to be true. For example, you may get hypnotized by ideas and believe yourself to be of some religion, class, caste, race, gender, nationality etc., giving rise to the Self and self-ignorance. Due to such hypnosis and self-ignorance, you may deviate from your natural human nature to live and act according to artificially conceived Self.

Hypnotized by the Self, you suffer from stress in form of inner-self. Due to hypnosis and self-ignorance, you may believe and hallucinate that you are eternal immortal inner self with past birth, next birth or after life independent of cause and conditions.

You may forget your infancy before formation of mind and Self. Forgetfulness increases due to immaturity and stress. Due to forgetfulness, you may not remember that you got hypnotized in the process of adapting with society.

Due to forgetfulness, you may not get dehypnotized and continue to live and act ignorantly under hypnosis. Due to ignorance, you may not know correctly in the right context what is real from unreal, right from wrong, good from bad etc.

Right Meditation for True Self-Knowledge

Self-knowledge is one of the benefits of meditation.

Hypnosis and de-hypnosis is part of growth, maturity and development just like bonding and weaning is milestone in growth of infant. However, due to wrong growth, upbringing and lifestyle, you may never get dehypnotized and remain self-ignorant. You suffer due to ignorance.

You can truly know yourself through right meditation. Meditation dissociates you from known and unknown, relieves stress of association with known and unknown thus dispelling the Self. Without the Self, you are no longer hypnotized by objects of self-interest.

Without hypnosis you are not self-ignorant, and you know yourself correctly in the right context. Free from self-ignorance, you become self-aware. Self-aware without the Self is true self-knowledge.

Self-aware, you are aware and detached from known and unknown. Aware and detached from known and unknown, you are not controlled by the effect of the known or unknown.

Meditation is practice of dehypnotizing yourself by withdrawing attention, calming the mind, relaxing the body and maintaining seamlessly clear detached self-awareness.

Continuity After Death in the Effect of Intentional Actions

You are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing arising due to constituent cause and conditions, you become your actions and you continue after death in the effect of your intentional actions. This is naturally self-evident like pain, disease, old age or death.

You are effect of your own actions, whether tangible or intangible. For your own good, you should live in a right manner, act in a right manner and leave the right effect through your actions. However, due to self-ignorance, you may live in a wrong manner, you may perform wrong actions, and you may produce wrong effect through your actions.

Wrong Effect of Intentional Actions Due to Ignorance

Due to self-ignorance, you may believe yourself to be eternal immortal inner independent of cause and conditions. As inner self, you may believe in next birth or after life.

Eternal immortal reality of inner self or inner being independent of constituent cause and conditions is your hallucination and has no real existence except in your fantasy due to self-ignorance. The effects of your intentional actions are your continuity after life. You are born in the effect of your intentional actions.

Due to self-ignorance, you may live and act according to self-conception in the guise of self-ideation or self-identity which is not only artificial but may also be unreal.

Eternal immortal Inner-self independent of cause and conditions is self-ignorance and a misleading belief. Your life and actions based on self-ignorance can create a deceptive environment for yourself internally and externally.

Believing that you are eternally independent of cause and conditions will put in conflict with life and your environment. The effect of your conflicting life and actions will be your continuity.

Whereas, living with a detached disinterested awareness without inner-self, you will be cautious, sensitive and harmonious with the cause and conditions of life, knowing correctly in the right context.

You Continue in Your Effect

You are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing arising due to your indispensable constituent cause and conditions including processes of life. You become your action, and you attract the effect of your intentional action just like, as classically said, “calf attracted to its mother”. You create your environment through your actions and it’s effect.

For example, if you create a weapon for a wrong reason, it is more likely to end up in battlefield and get destroyed; however, if you plant a fruit tree for right reason, it is more likely to attract life. Right motives and right actions give rise to right effect and a right ecosystem.

You become your actions and you continue in the effect of your intentional actions in form of your children and your contribution to society, nature and universe.

The effects of your action will find its destiny just as water, air, earth, and heat find their destiny in the endless recycling of nature and universe. The way you live and act in the present will determine the future of the effects of your actions.

The way you live, act and effect, has to be right for you and for others. You have a choice to make regarding how to live, what actions to take and what effects to leave.

Impermanence Through Endless Recycling

But even the effect of actions is neither eternal nor permanent. Nothing is permanent. Everything dies or changes, disintegrates and gets endlessly recycled through the law of impermanence.

Just like a wave of water settles but its matter energy and process can continue as its effect into different new waves, so also you are continuation after death as the effect of different actions, and you will continue in the different effects of your actions. Nothing continues intact and nothing is permanent in the endless recycling of life, society, nature and universe.

Hence you should be detached to be happy in impermanence, act ethically and effect benevolently.

Individual actions and effect of those actions stay in the ecosystem of which they are a part. Hence society should encourage ethical life and actions.
