Experience Enlightenment
When the void has formed, everything pass into the past. As events pass into the past in quanta, their potential is released – but in the past, their essence is lost. When the Void is there, everything – events, thoughts, mental constructs, etc are in the past.
Thus there is no future. What is there is the present is the physical body or in other words, the present is the physical body.
If the present moment is God, then this physical body is God.
There are two entities. One, the awareness and two, the physical body. I am the awareness. What I address as “I” is the awareness.
After my enlightenment, I was afraid. If I am only the “awareness” of my own emptiness – then the question comes “Who is afraid?”. I could not answer this question for a long time until today.
Today I realized that this awareness is personified and it is a revolution. It has an “I”. But this awareness is not the physical body.
The awareness is personified but not a person.
I, the awareness, is/was afraid of its own emptiness – of the emptiness and not of another “mass” as the awareness is massless.
I am the “awareness”. I have become aware of my own emptiness. But I am not the physical body. I know that I am empty, devoid of mass, and hence I am afraid.
The “I” (the awareness) is expressing itself through the physical body. My physical body and actions are an expression of the “I”.
The physical body is a tool or the “I” (awareness). The awareness interacts with the world with the help of the physical body. The awareness gets is plan accomplished with the help of the physical body.
I am aware of the “I”, I know I am the “I”, but others see me as the physical body. They do not know the “I”.
So, what I think of myself as, and what others think of me are very different.
I have become aware that I am empty, massless. I have realized that I am just empty – not an empty container, but infinitely empty – there is no end to the emptiness.
Self realization is the realization that one is empty.
I have become aware that I do no longer have a body – it has been set aside leaving me empty.
I have realized that I am alone. Since I am alone & no one in my rescue, I am afraid.
Because I am afraid, I questioned – Who is afraid if the physical body has been set aside? There must be someone who is afraid
I realized that the awareness is personified – otherwise who is afraid?
The “I” is the awareness.
But If I am alone – without a second, who am I scared of, there is nobody.
Since I am alone, who is there to scare me? There is no one to scare me.
My “being afraid” is false – it is assuming that someone is there. But it is only the emptiness. I am afraid of not people, but of no-people.
I am afraid of the emptiness and not of another.
Whatever is, is non-physical and an observed phenomenon. Nothing in me touches the physical body iit has been set aside. The awareness has become alone by setting aside the physical body.
The physical body is needed because the awareness “I” (who knows that there is nobody) expresses itself through the physical body or is reflected through the physical body.
The “I” is not the physical body. Even to utter that “I” to express the personification , the physical body is needed – hence the body.
The physical body is a tool available to the awareness.
But the “I” is only the knowledge that there is nobody.
Just like the leaf, the physical body expresses the “awareness” – The physical body is not aware of its own nature.
What I think of myself and what you see me as are both very different.
I do not know which one to consider.
