Awaken: Seeing Through the Illusion of Self

Everything in this phenomenal universe — anything you can be aware of as an object — is a vibration of energy.

Without space, this movement could not occur.

Even at the subatomic level, there is space for movement.

The illusion is simple.

Things are not what they appear to be.

And this should not be surprising — the senses are limited.

There is simply space.

Without it, energy could not vibrate.

Space itself is undisturbed.

Non-dual.

Yet the movement of energy appears dualistic.

And still — there is nothing solid.

There is something extraordinary about the manifest world.

And yet it is almost completely ignored.

Space.

Without which there would be no manifestation.

Awareness itself is space-like.

Without it, not even phenomenal space could arise.

This cannot be understood.

But it can be known.

Now come back to “me”.

What is it, actually?

What remains?

Only thoughts.

Patterns of energy.

Vibrating in opposites:

good / bad

right / wrong

love / hate

me / you

here / there

To be aware of something, there must appear to be separation.

A subject and an object.

Which means:

The object is not the observer.

So what is this “me”?

Nothing more than a pattern of thoughts.

Not created by you.

Not controlled by you.

This can be seen directly — if you are willing to look.

Here is the crucial point:

The personalised pattern of thought says…

“I am aware.”

“I am aware of my thoughts.”

“My body.”

“My feelings.”

“The world.”

And from this assumption…

Suffering begins.

Pain is magnified.

But what you actually are…

is this space-like awareness.

Not the “me”.

Not the pattern.

This is not a belief.

It is a fact.

But it must be recognised directly.

And it is recognised by abiding as presence.

Be that.

In fact…

try not being that.

It is impossible.

This is not something to achieve.

It is simply a shift of attention.

There is only one thing that dissolves the illusion of a separate self:

Presence.

Awareness.

Presence is non-dual.

There is no split in it.

The split appears when the “me” claims it.

All thoughts have nothing to do with you.

They are of little interest compared to what you are.

Your natural state.

There is no doer.

Trying to resolve thought with thoughtis what keeps the illusion alive.

Turn away.

There is something far more beautiful to be seen.

You must be willing to abandon thought completely.

And abide as presence.

It is not an object.

It is pure subjectivity.

Non-conceptual awareness.

And you are That.

What you are searching for…

you already are.

This presence.

This here-ness.

This aliveness.

If it were anything else…

it would only be another concept.

Another idea.

Why is it said:

“What you are seeking, you already are”?

Because there is only this.

Here.

Now.

Nothing else.

The senses — wide open.

Like a child.

Wonder.

Awaken from the dream.

Give no credibility to its content.

I am only gently whispering:

You are dreaming.

And it is time to wake up.
