Being Real Through Natural Awareness Without the Self

Life is natural. To be a real is to be natural like water, formless without the Self.

Naturally, you are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing, arising due to natural constituent cause and conditions. Naturally, you are not the Self in association with artificial ideas like race, gender, age, class, caste, nationality, religion, beliefs, eternal self, etc.

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.

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.

Self-aware without the Self, you can recognize through intuitive insight the truth of your nature that is at peace and in order. Recognizing the truth of your nature in state of your natural richness you are enlightened spiritually.

You are not the Self that arises due to your association with the known and unknown. The Self in any form is self-ignorance because the Self is artificially conceived through association with known and unknown ideas or experiences.

The Self is stress created due to association with known and known. The Self and the feeling of being inner self is unhealthy. Self-consciousness is unhealthy just like unhealthy knee makes you conscious of it.

By being real through clear seamless awareness and self-awareness without the Self, you can know correctly in the right context as it is and live an authentic intense life.

Genuine Life by Being Real as Awareness Without the Self

You are real when you are naturally aware and act not according to the artificially conceived 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 and you become your actions without inner doer. There is no duality in you in form of inner doer, inner feeler, inner knower, inner experiencer, inner self etc. Without duality in you, you are not in conflict, and you are in order.

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 but 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, neither do you fight to death for silly reason of hurt Self-image.

Self-Knowledge

By recognizing the truth of your nature, you become naturally rich and you act through the richness of your nature in accordance with the reality.

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.

Your reality of natural richness is a deeper state of natural fulfilment, order and peace in which you feel secure in your source.

Being self-aware without the Self, you are naturally 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

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

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

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

Being real and naturally aware without the Self, you live with the great natural flow of life, you act promptly through right cause and conditions without striving. 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 eternal self or next birth. Being real as natural awareness, 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 natural awareness, the idea of supreme creator becomes irrelevant because you will no longer continue or get judged after you die, disintegrate and get recycled. However, the effects of your intentional tangible and intangible actions will be judged by the society after you.

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 and disperse to get 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. Like all phenomenon, spirit is ephemeral and empty devoid of existence independent of constituent cause and conditions.

Spirit is ephemeral and cannot exist independent of it’s constituent cause and conditions. There is nothing eternal or immortal about spirit in life that can remain intact after life beyond disintegration of it’s 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. Gravity is spirit of planetary system. Electric field is spirit of circulating current. Rainbow is spirit arising due to water droplets and sunrays. Moon in water is spirit arising due to night, calm water and moon.

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.

Cause and conditions has to be good for the spirit to be healthy. Right practice of deep meditation benefits by contributing to improvement of cause and conditions of life to kindle in you the spirit of seamlessly clear detached awareness reflecting to make you self-aware without the Self.

You are an Ephemeral Spirit of Life.

You are awareness, the natural spiritual phenomenon arising 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. Like all phenomenon, you are ephemeral and empty devoid of existence independent of constituent cause and conditions.

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

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 you are an ephemeral phenomenon of life, you continue in the effects of your intentional actions, for example, your children, the ideas you uphold and your contribution to your 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, brightness or moon in water which only appears to exist but does not really exist independent of its 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 Disperses with the End of 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 life should be lived well with peace and happiness. However, 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 are universally constant principles that disintegrates, disperses and recycles everything without exception. Hence, living in the present 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 its space in the cycle of nature and life.

Spiritual Enlightenment is Dispelling Self-Ignorance Through Naturally Rich Innocence.

Enlightenment is to recognize the truth and dispel ignorance. Enlightenment is to recognize the truth that is obvious but forgotten. For example, earth is not flat or authorities are not divine. Enlightenment feels like great relief and peace due to dispelling of ignorance and realization of reality.

Spiritual enlightenment is to recognize the truth of your nature. Spiritual enlightenment is to recognize your forgotten state of peace and pure innocence that is your sublime or meta nature. It is a recognition through intuitive insight because it is obvious but forgotten.

Spiritual enlightenment is recognizing the naturally rich forgotten feeling of security, peace and order since the beginning of your naturally innocent pure life in communion with rich powerful mother, the feeling which you lost under the stress of the Self in the hustle and bustle of society.

After enlightenment, by recognizing and remembering your naturally rich state of deep peace and purity, you begin to restore order and peace in your life synchronously with the greater schemes of life. Through meditation, you can correctly recognize, remember and nurture your state of purity and peace to fall back upon it during any situations of life.

Dispelling Self-Ignorance

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.

You arise from cause and conditions of nature. You are not an artificially defined imaginary idea of eternal inner soul related to supreme creator and controller. There is no supreme creator or controller because there is no fraction or factor commonly constant in creation except impermanence.

Idea of inner self or inner being independent of your indispensable constituent cause and 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.

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 on account of your association or identification with ideas of age, name, gender, class, caste, religion, nationality, race, eternal spirit etc..

As clear seamless reflecting awareness of being aware detached from known or unknown, you are the phenomenon of knowing without independent inner knower. Like all phenomenon, as awareness, you are pure and at peace free from defilements as if just born with a reflex smile without mind and self.

Enlightenment is Obvious Recognition

This recognition of the truth of your nature through intuitive insight in state of peace and pure innocence is enlightenment resulting due to dispelling of self-ignorance. It is intuitive recognition because it is so obvious but forgotten.

Spiritual enlightenment is to be completely natural in the present moment as a result of recognizing the truth of your nature. Natural means harmoniously spontaneous. Nothing changes in the life due to enlightenment except your ability to stay pure, 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 and arise of mind.

It is to become whole by recovering and recognizing that natural state as if never corrupted throughout your rich natural growth, maturity and development.

Life After Spiritual Enlightenment

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 of life and drama of society.

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 through self-conceptions.

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 due to freedom from self just as when there was no notion of self and death during early stages of infancy.

Free from self and it’s negativities or insecurities, you are naturally aware and instinctively upright choosing right thoughts, ideas and philosophies for the right reason, for right values and right principles to shape the long haul of life meaningfully in the right direction. Enlightened, you are seek purity and remain effortlessly at peace, feeling secure and in order.

Spiritual enlightenment is result of recognizing yourself in naturally rich state of peace and purity as if in communion with rich powerful mother.

True Self-Knowledge: Detached Awareness Dispelling Self-Ignorance.

circle of Zen EnzoYou are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing.

Like all phenomenon you arise due to your constituent cause and conditions. Like all phenomenon, you are ephemeral and empty without independent eternal inner self of any kind.

Idea of being eternal self or spirit of any kind is poetic imagination giving rise to self-ignorance. Feeling of being eternal self or spirit of any kind is illusion giving rise to self-ignorance.

Fully aware, you are the spirit of knowing. Fully aware, you know correctly in the right context as it is. Fully aware, you are free from ignorance, including self-ignorance.

Fully aware and detached you are undivided whole, integrated and complete without getting controlled by effects of known and unknown.

Fully aware and detached, you are self-aware or aware of being aware without self. Detached self-awareness without self is reflecting awareness dissociated from the known and unknown.

Detached Awareness Without the Self is Self-Knowledge

You are product of your constituent cause and conditions since there is no supreme creator. You become your tangible and intangible actions since there is no eternal self of any kind. You get recycled to continue in the impact of your intentional actions since there is no next birth.

There is no supreme creator because there is no fraction or factor representing supreme creator with will or wish common to particle of universe except energy; however, energy has no independent will or wish. There is no eternal self because everything disintegrates, disperses and gets recycled.

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 intentional actions.

As conditions of life mature and improve, you as awareness, reflect and seem detached from known and unknown thus making you self-aware. Self-awareness is phenomenon of reflecting awareness of being aware detached from the known and unknown.

Naturally, you do not exist in any way independent of your constituent cause and conditions. In your imagination and hallucination, you may believe yourself to exist as eternal immortal inner self or the Self in association with artificial ideas like name, gender, class, caste, age, nationality, race religion, beliefs, ideas of eternal self, etc.. out of self-ignorance.

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

Through your state of detached awareness due to true self knowledge, you can know correctly in the right context as it is without getting influenced by effect of the known or unknown.

Awareness is natural phenomenon of knowing whereas the Self or feeling of being inner self is due to ignorance, psychological burden, physiological clench and stress.

No Self

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

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 cause and conditions nor exist beyond disintegration of it’s constituent cause and conditions. Life is ephemeral and empty. You cannot exist in any way without your indispensable constituent cause and conditions.

There is no eternal immortal inner self independent of it’s constituent cause and conditions. There is no real natural “the Self” based on self-conception, self-ideation or self-identification through association with artificial ideas like 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 or in conflict with the reality of cause and conditions. As eternal inner self, you may not value present life and waste your present in anticipation of afterlife. Wasted and spoilt present can give rise to spoilt future due to ignorance.

Self and feeling of being inner self is due to association with known and unknown, whereas your state of detached awareness is due to harmoniously integrated processes of your life, due to dissociation from known and unknown without stress or feeling of being inner-self.

Aware and detached you know correctly in the right context as it is.

Cause of Self-Ignorance is Hypnosis

Ignorance is due to not knowing correctly in the right context. Self-ignorance is due to the Self or the feeling of being inner self.

The Self and the feeling of being inner self is hypnosis due to psychological burden and subliminal stress of association with known and unknown acquired due to wrong conditions of your upbringing and lifestyle. Maya is ancient Pali word also used for hypnosis.

Self and the feeling of being inner self is a symptom of stress and psychological burden acquired as means of survival in the face of threat. When you feel insecure, knowingly or unknowingly, the Self arise and you feel stress in the form of feeling of being inner self.

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 or belief systems and give undue importance to them.

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

Self-Ignorance Due to Hypnosis

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 feel stressed 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 dispel self-ignorance through right meditation. Meditation dissociates you from known and unknown, relieves stress of association with known and unknown thus dispelling the Self and relieving the subliminal stress in form of feeling of being inner self. Without the Self, you are no longer hypnotized by objects of self-interest and without the feeling of inner self you are no longer controlled by your feelings or emotions.

Without hypnosis you are not self-ignorant, and you know yourself correctly in the right context. Free from self-ignorance, you can reflect to become self-aware. Self-awareness or awareness of being aware is your state of psychological suppleness and flexibility. Without self you are like water, the highest good and ideal of life to be like.

Meditation is practice of dehypnotizing yourself by withdrawing attention, calming the mind, relaxing the body and maintaining seamlessly clear detached awareness without the Self or feeling of being inner self.

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 self or “I” 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 suffer from constant self-consciousness and act rigidly according to self-conception based on your identification with ideas like age, gender, class, caste, religion, race, nationality etc. in constant conflict with the reality.

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 live with awareness, sensitivity, empathy and harmoniously with the reality of cause and conditions of life.

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 internal and external ecosystem through effect of your intentional actions.

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 and disintegrates into different waves, so also you disintegrate and continue after death as multiple varied effects of your intentional 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 for a benevolent impact.
