Don't bother to verify miracles, miracles don't need verification Question: I have been reading your articles silently for almost a year. As you said, my mental illness has indeed been cured, and I also seem to have turn my perspective 180 degrees. I used to feel healed when reading your articles, but recently I have started to cry often when I think of you. Is the real feeling of gratitude also a dream? Answer: Of course you can cry out of gratitude. Although you may also cry for the departure of a family member or the loss of a personal relationship in the storyline, when you realize that everything is not limited to a personal self, that is, all is infinite SELF, this realization will lead to tears. This kind of crying from realization is different from crying associated with the storyline. This is a crying out of gratitude for being relieved and feeling totally and unconditionally secure. You don't need to regard crying of relief as "dreaming". Reading my articles will not only make you optimistic, but will also greatly surpass the realm of optimism, because feeling ultimate secure can allow you to tolerate a sense of seemingly pessimism. It's okay to feeling pessimistic while in complete relief. For example, you can of course feel sad and cry when a loved one leaves, but at the same time you profoundly know that there is no actual "departure", because everything is your own total energetic vibrations fluxing seemingly. You know deeply that there is no actual arrival and no actual departure either. It is normal to experience a natural emotional outbreak when you realize your own infinite greatness, you can feel like crying when you get to taste your own unconditional security. A deep realization does not necessarily keep you from feeling sad when a loved one leaves. This kind of sadness is subtle, and such feeling of sadness is real, but there is no suffering in the feeling of sadness. Please notice the subtle difference between feeling sad and experiencing suffering. This subtlety cannot be explained by the logical Mind. This subtlety is illogical, as if you are able to feel sad and be totally relieved at the same time, as if you can seemly feel sad but not actually suffer. You should be able to notice that indescribable flavor yourself. Q: Last year, I couldn’t understand your articles at first, but I still wanted to read them. I felt a little confused. At that time, my attention was on every article, and occasionally I was grateful to Mr. BeingIs. But in the past two days, it has been very strange. When I saw some posts on the Internet, I knew intuitively who was saying something similar to my teacher. I got goose bumps and cried, because I always felt that my teacher was you. A: The real teacher is your infinite SELF, not a person named as "BeingIs" or anyone else. Even the energetic impression of a person named as "BeingIs" appears in your own consciousness. Without your own consciousness, how can you have the energetic impression for a person named as "BeingIs"? If there is no magic effect of your own energy, how can you get to read such an article? I do suggest that you keep reading my articles whether you understand or not. Although your Mind cannot understand it, your infinite SELF naturally knows itself. The words I write are actually spoken by your infinite SELF to infinite SELF, not actually by a person named as "BeingIs" spoken to a personal you. Whether you understand it or not, keep reading my articles. At some point, you will have an inexplicable transcendence, as if you suddenly and directly know all of a sudden. It's like putting yourself in a slow cooker and let it cook. It's like 'something' will know directly and automatically although it's not actually a thing. Q: But the energy from this body still moves me to tears. I often think that it is good to have such a holy and perfect existence in the world. I feel courageous, and I am not afraid of various setbacks. I also have the wisdom to distinguish between people who deceive me. I also joked that if one day I have to go to prison and lose my freedom, then I will just print out all your words and carry them with me. A: Feeling touched is an emotion. Such an emotion does not actually come from a certain body. Such an emotion is the energetic effect of Infinite Radiant Energy (that is, your SELF). Even the image of "body" is also the energetic effect of Infinite Radiant Energy itself. All phenomena that you can express are the energetic effect of Infinite Radiant Energy, e.g., SELF. It is not that there will be such a perfect and holy existence in this "world". On the contrary, it is the perfect SELF that seems to appear as the seemingly "imperfect world" and appear to mistake itself as imperfection. In fact, there is not actually such thing as "imperfection" or "world", these concepts are all assumed to establish by the Mind only. Just like the plotline of last night's dream also seemed imperfect and seemed to be a "world" in there. Where is that "world" now and where goes that "imperfection" in the dream now? No, you don't need the so-called courage. You just need to understand what you are. When you deeply discover that no matter what seems to happen, it is nothing more than your own energetic impression, then, you realize the unconditional safety. Even when the terrible death comes, you will know that the so-called "death" is nothing more than an energetic impression, not an actual "death". If you know yourself to this extent, what courage do you need? There is no hostile force at all. All is your SELF. Who needs courage? In fact, unconditional peace of mind transcends the need for "courage". As long as there is a little bit of worry, then "courage" is needed, because the logical basis of "courage" is "fear". When you think about "courage", you detect a hidden fear lurking in your Mind. Maybe others will praise that you are getting more and more courageous. Haha, actually, you know that you have nothing to do with courage because all is your SELF. There is nothing other than your SELF. What harm can SELF do to SELF? You have already discovered unconditional security and the idea of "courage" becomes meaningless. Such unconditional security and the sense of complete relief infinitely surpasses the power of "courage". When there is no fear at all, miracles happens immediately. To give an inappropriate example, when you profoundly discover that everything is the infinite SELF, then even if you jump from a tall building, your body will be as intact as a rubber doll. I don't recommend you to verify this miracle, because the psychology of verifying miracles is precisely reflecting the hidden and unconscious fear and insecurity. Then, if there is even the slightest sense of insecurity, your body will be crushed to pieces when you jump down. Why? Because whatever you see immediately reflects the interpretation and conclusion assumed to be true by the Mind. Ironically, the seeming scene for "crushed to pieces" is a miracle by itself because this is not actually a body and there is nothing that can be actually crushed. Miracles cannot be verified deliberately. Miracles are spontaneous and automatic. You, e.g., SELF, is the ultimate miracle. You don't need to verify anything, just directly know it. Those who strive to verify will never get to know directly and profoundly. Because their motivation for verification precisely reflects the insecurity and hidden fear of the Mind. Don't play games with the Mind. The Mind has played all the games you can ever think of. The effect of the Mind is an old hand at playing games that fool itself. You can't beat the cunning of the Mind. Just ignore the narration of the mind, don't take the Mind's narrative seriously. I have mentioned the example of being imprisoned before. Although it seems that being imprisoned is a bad thing, such experience does not keep you from noticing and tasting your own energetic effect or textures. When you look at the prison wall, you will start to wonder, how can this be a prison? This seemingly image for a prison is precisely the energetic manifestation of SELF. Although it seems to be a prison, it's actually not a prison, but the perfect SELF all along. When you deeply appreciate the fact that even "being imprisoned" is not a loss, what else can be a loss? I also gave the example of being thrown into a Nazi gas chamber. When you are unfortunately thrown into a gas chamber, it seems that there are screams and cries all around you. At this time, you suddenly realize that everything is your SELF. screams and cries are not actually screams and cries, but your own energy vibrating and humming, What harm can SELF do to SELF? You are immediately and completely relieved. At the moment of complete relief, sacred white light will engulf you. The seemingly terrifying scene that was vivid a few moments ago is nowhere to be found. You are shocked. However, you should not verify such a miracle. The motivation for verification is implicit lack of confidence. Then, with a small hint of insecurity, the gas chamber will seem to be a real gas chamber, and death will seem to be a real death for the doubting Mind. Everything is an immediate reflection of the implicit narrative of the Mind. Don't play such games with the Mind.

Even "not taking it seriously" isn't a realm you need to establish. "Achievement" is an illusory hallucination of effect of the Mind Reader: It's not what is expressed, nor is it. Sir, you spoke of non-conception, and I add a phrase: non-non-conception. For example, profoundly realizing that the thought narrative I am entangled in has a flavor, a feeling of indifference toward the thought narrative will naturally arise on its own — this is the flavor of that indifference, a resolute non-fixation on thought, a resolute that is not thought. Understanding on the level of thought cannot give rise to this indifference. Yet this resolute indifference is merely one flavor among many flavors. It cannot serve as a standard; experience is profound, subtle, and exceedingly fine... BEINGIS: Yes, "indifference" is still a conceptual fixation arising from thought. Any situation that can be expressed — for instance, the feeling of "resolute indifference" you expressed above — is still a conceptual fixation derived from interpretation of the effect of Mind. There's no need to take such conceptual fixations seriously either; that's what I mean by "not even taking 'not taking it seriously' seriously". Don't think that achieving "not taking it seriously" is some kind of accomplishment. For your SELF regarding your own SELF, there is no such thing as "accomplishment", because absolute perfection, in relation to absolute perfection itself, renders any conceptual fixation meaningless — including the realm of "taking it seriously" and the realm of "not taking it seriously", including "achievement" and "non-achievement". None of these conceptual fixations hold meaning. For absolute perfection, i.e., unconditional completeness itself, there is no need to establish any realms; establishing a realm like "I am now not taking it seriously" is meaningless. Since it is already unconditionally complete from the outset, what more do you need to establish? What more do you need to achieve? If you see yourself as a character in a story, such a view is an illusion. Then, within that illusion, thoughts and logic like "I must establish some noble realm" may arise, along with desires like "I must achieve something". Yes, the more you take noticing, the more acutely you will notice all sorts of subtle interpretations from the Mind. Noticing them is equivalent to transcending them; nothing else needs to be done, just keep noticing... Key discovery: I am is unconditional perfection. I don't need to wait for tomorrow to be perfect. I am perfect right now without any conditions. Just see it as your unwavering fact and realize that you don't need to do anything.

Your sensitivity has gone far beyond Reader: A friend who practices spiritualism told me about a friend she knew who witnessed her mother committing suicide when she was a child. Now, through practicing spiritualism, she has walked out of the shadow and regained a new life. She advised me to take this as an example and let go of my dissatisfaction with my parents. She said that only in this way can I really practice well. After listening to her, a few words suddenly jumped out of my mind: How can a person walk out of the shadow? This story of walking out of the shadow through practice is itself empty, it only seems to happen, how can one walk out of the shadow when there is not a way to determine there is actually "a one" and there is actually a "shadow"? Thinking of my own parents and the fact that I have always wanted to heal the harm caused by my family through hard practice, I suddenly found it very amusing. At that moment, I suddenly realized that my parents did not actually exist, they just seemed to exist and seemed to cause harm to a character called "me" in a dream. Even if I really let go of the harm through practice, it is just another version of the story of emptiness. In fact, it was a big drama directed and performed by THAT itself. I just start to laugh and watch it go. BEINGIS: Great, your sensitivity has far surpassed your spiritual practitioner friend. That’s why you would find her story amusing. Okay, please continue to savor your own infinite energy. There’s no need to let go for a certain purpose, but to savor your own taste of your own infinite energy, and come to realize directly that all is your SELF, nothing else. Although the image of your parents seems to be in front of you, you know directly that it is not actually “external parents” that the Mind is telling you, but your own intimate energetic impression. After such a discovery, what else do you need to let go? Everything is your own patterns of intimate energy, whether you let it go or not, it’s still your SELF, and you laughed out loud at such discovery. Please note that it’s not that “parents don’t exist”, but that the “parents” you regard as parents are not actually parents, just like the “parents” in last night’s dream are not actually parents, they are all intimate energetic impressions of your SELF, and none of them are a problem. Then, when the seemingly “parents” seem to have something to ask of you in experience, you still respond and take care of them. You realize that you are not responding to others, nor taking care of others, but responding or taking care of SELF. Is the response and care in the dream really directed to others? No, there is no one in the dream at all, it’s all your own energetic impression. The present moment is completely the same. The seemingly powerful universe is your own energetic impression just like seemingly parents are. SELF is the only substantiality; all energetic impressions of SELF have no substance. In other words, SELF is the only substance, but all energetic effects or energetic impressions, such as the effect of the Mind, and the seeming phenomena of space & time and the universes are all non-substantial. If you know directly that all your energetic impressions are not substantial, then it becomes simple, you don’t have to reject energetic effects or impressions that are not substantial. You can enjoy infinitely diverse energetic impressions no matter what they may look, just like watching infinite movies. No matter how thrilling the content of the movie seems, they are all empty and do not affect you at all. It is not just that impressions for "parents" have no substance, impressions for "enemies" have no substance either. When the so-called "enemy" is chasing you and attacking you, you can escape freely, and even fight back, because the seemingly escape is not actually an escape. Seemingly attacking is not actually attacking. Is the escape in the dream actually an escape? Is the pursuit in the dream actually a pursuit? Not really! Now you come to realize that none of them are actually what the Mind thinks they are, so you will find it amusing. How the body specifically handles what happens in the experience is not important. What is important is whether you can relax in the process of seemingly handling things. For the same action of a seemingly running away, you can run away in fear, or you can run away in the comfort and relaxation of knowing that all is SELF. And as SELF, you are unconditionally secure. When you handle things in comfort and relaxation, the more comfortable and relaxed you are, the more efficient you will become in handling things. Miracles will appear naturally, and things that seem impossible may become possible. All is your SELF, every event is your SELF, so how can there be absolutely impossible things and events? It depends on how comfortable and how at ease you are with your own energy. However, when you really regard the seemingly difficult things and events as the hostile forces outside of you trying to harass you, then, because of your restlessness and insecurity, the seemingly "hostile forces" may become more and more powerful. They are not really powerful, but taking the Mind's narratives for granted seemingly endows a fake powerfulness. There is a convenient way to observe. Whenever the emotion of fear rises, most people will flow with the emotion of fear and never notice it. However, you are now much more sensitive than most people. You can immediately perceive the emotion of fear from outside of emotion of fear. This perceiving is very powerful. Perceiving it is equivalent to transcending these emotions instantaneously. Then, there will be a strange feeling, as if you are both afraid and not afraid simultaneously. This is a wonderful feeling! Enjoy this strange feeling. You are starting to savor unprecedented subtlety. Miracles will slowly manifest by itself naturally. I am not saying that you must immediately stop your usual "spiritual practice activities". Please continue to practice them as you have always been doing. You are free to meditate, worship, chant, give alms, etc. These activities, just like other activities, have no substance at all, but there is no need to stop them deliberately. Instead, through doing these seemingly activities, you would have opportunities to slowly appreciate that they are all without substance. If you deliberately stop all activities, ha-ha, such deliberateness actually implies that you take these activities too seriously. You should have a playful attitude. Infinite energy is infinitely playful. If you are serious, you will take empty playfulness as false "reality".

Once you've found it, there's no need to search anymore Reader: Here's an interesting discovery — there's a parcel locker downstairs. You enter a verification code to retrieve your package. Just now, someone was picking up theirs, and the sound of pressing the keys on the locker was very loud: "234~." Clearly, the person had finished pressing the keys, but the sound of "234~" kept echoing in my mind over and over. Suddenly, I froze for a moment — where exactly was that sound coming from? Was it something my mind conjured up? But if no one had pressed the keys, I wouldn't have this sound at all. So, where is the head? Or rather, there is no head. BEINGIS: Very good noticing! The seemingly human form, the seemingly heard sound, the seemingly felt geographical location — upstairs, downstairs — even the assumed "head" and "brain" in the Mind — all of these are manifestations of your own Infinitely Radiant Energy. In truth, these things do not actually exist, yet that doesn't prevent them from being felt as if they were real. The feeling itself is the energetic effect and does not transcend the felt manifestation effect. In other words, the feeling and the felt are one and the same Infinite Radiant Energy's effect. It is the Mind that separates feeling from the felt, assigning the feeling side as "I" and the felt side as "external world." This conceptual separation is an illusion; such conceptual separation seemingly creates an illusory positioning centered on "I." Only your own Self (SELF) infinitely transcends all energetic effects. That is to say, only your own Self (SELF) infinitely transcends the seemingly existent phenomena, the seeming feelings, the seeming analyses in Mind. You can view all these "phenomena, feelings, analyses" uniformly as energetic effects of your own Infinite Radiant Energy. All the "phenomena, feelings, analyses" manifested by your own energetic effects are completely empty in nature — do not take them as real and seriously. To perceive their emptiness is equivalent to your own SELF discovering your own SELF; perception and discovery happen in one seamless step, not in the two separate steps you might think: first perceive, then discover. Conversely, if you go searching for some assumed target (object) called "your own Self," you will never find it. Only when you suddenly realize that everything findable is an energetic effect of Infinite Radiant Energy, completely empty in nature — these very energetic effects are precisely your own Self (SELF), and there is no "SELF" or "THAT" as a separate target (object) beyond the energetic effects — only then do you relax, having found it, with no need to search anymore.

RT @Being_Is_IT: More subtle than you think BEINGIS: I'm an efficiency freak. Listening to you vent about the troubles in your life — if…

SELF is not an object. SELF is ultra intelligence. The world you are seeing is not an actual world You cannot seek SELF or determine what SELF is because it's not an object. SELF is ultra-intelligence. Only an object has a concept of inside and outside. Being an ultra-intelligence, SELF has no concept of inside or outside, here or there. Funnily, the urge of seeking itself is an energetic effect of SELF. The Mind visualizes SELF as an identifiable object and therefore seeks it. This assumption is like an illusion of self-chasing-self, ending up in nothing. People are talking about Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). No matter how advanced the technologies develop, no matter how smart the ASI may appear to be, it's just a phenomenon in your own experience. In other words, no matter what appears in your own experience, they are energetic manifestations of your own SELF, i.e., your own ultra intelligence. All apparent intelligence within your experience is just a projection of your own ultra-intelligence, no intelligence goes beyond your own ultra intelligence. All seemingly others' wills are your own will, regardless what the Mind prefers or not. You can't feel sorry for 'your life' because this is exactly an energetic projection of your own SELF automatically. No matter how vast the universe appears to be, it's no more than an image projected by your own ultra-intelligence. No matter how foolish people may seem to be, they are not more your own projection of your own ultra-intelligence. No matter how long the history seems to be, as soon as your own awareness is not present here, they are nowhere to be found as if the entire "history" hasn't even happened at all. When you fall into sleep, even just for a slip second, the entire world is non-existent. As soon as your awareness comes into being, the entire world is instantaneously spawned from nowhere. The so-called "world" didn't get tucked into somewhere waiting for you to wake up. They are simply projected energetic images in your own effect of awareness, a.k.a. a seeming projection from your own ultra intelligence. Everything you are seeing is only an energetic image or texture pattern maintained by the effect of seeing. As soon as the effect of seeing is not present, the thing that is being seen is nowhere to be found. Please notice carefully, the thing you are seeing is not actually a thing at all, but an energetic image projected by the effect of seeing itself. Please let me stress it one more time, the seeing and the seen are one and the same. What can we say about the world we are seeing? There is not actually a world out there, it's an energetic projection from your own effect of seeing alone. That's why I say, the "world" is not actually a world. And you are not looking at an actual world; you are looking at your own SELF alone! I often use dreaming as a metaphor. In a dream, you are not actually seeing an actual world, but your own energetic projection. Likewise, right here and right now, you are not actually seeing a world or a life, you are seeing your own energetic projection. There is never actually a world or universe anywhere. There is never a "me" living a "a life". Even the property of space and time is a pure assumption interpreted by the Mind.

Don't seek SELF, don't try to determine what SELF is Reader: Without the sense of "me," how could I know back then that SELF was there? Now the feeling of "I" and "being" are inseparably intertwined. Perhaps without "me," it's a pure "being." Who is there? I don't know, can't confirm it. When I was in a coma, I knew nothing at all, self was still there, whether self was there or not, I don't know. BEINGIS: You ask: Without the sense of "me," how could I know back then that SELF was there? That's exactly the point — there's no need to seek, there is no "who" to seek with, and it's impossible to seek. Even if you did seek, what you'd find would just be an impression of energetic emptiness. Don't seek SELF; instead, realize that you yourself are SELF already. Once you get that, it's enough. Then the conceptual thought of "SELF" dissolves too, such conceptual target becomes meaningless, and you're at peace — no more seeking. On the flip side, the moment the desire to "seek" or "confirm" arises, such desire immediately splits the indivisible SELF into the seeker and the sought, creating the illusion of an emptiness-seeking-emptiness loop. That illusory loop is endless. If you still don't get it, think about this: Can an eyeball see itself? Isn't that idea a joke? Reader: But an intense longing for another form of consciousness to manifest has completely taken over me. BEINGIS: All desires are projections cast by the effect of the Mind. This is a great opportunity for noticing. All desires are seeking something "missing," like the Mind's imagined "another form of consciousness" as if the current form of consciousness is not satisfying enough. The Mind always interprets the perfect SELF into unsatisfying form of manifestation. The Mind will never be satisfied. Even if the texture of experiential quality shifts into what seems like a "different form of consciousness", apparently satisfying the Mind for a short while, then, dissatisfaction rises again, then seeking continues..., what's the real difference? It's still the same energetic effect of your own being. As long as the Mind keeps seeking, it will seem to conjure endless different forms to seemingly fulfill that pursuit, and the seeking itself never ends. The seeking/longing itself causes unnecessary suffering.

The eye cannot see itself, but can see all its effects Reader: I've been suffering in this logical illusion, taking this infinite uncertainty and spontaneous automatic energy effect very seriously, and spontaneously and automatically desiring to change this energy effect so that it connects with this apparent me, producing a fuller response. This desire has been troubling me constantly, and the pain of seeking but not obtaining is excruciating. I've been savoring that he is THAT, yet I'm still tormented by this desire, unable to let go of it. Teacher BeingIs, what should I do? I seek your help. BEINGIS: What you need to notice is not THAT, but that intense desire. You cannot find THAT; the very desire of "finding THAT" is precisely the energetic effect of THAT. This energetic effect is as empty as the dream from last night. Once you notice that all sorts of desires are similarly empty like a dream, that is equivalent to seeing THAT, equivalent to seeing your own SELF. There is no other THAT or SELF apart from THAT or SELF's energetic effects -- the desires. As a metaphor, it's very much like the eye cannot see eye itself, but can see all the effect of seeing. Seeing the effect of seeing is equivalent to seeing eyeballs. Reader: Sir, what you describe — detecting the emptiness of the desire of "finding THAT" — is tantamount to actually seeing THAT; in other words, to recognize the illusion is to transcend it, and to transcend the illusion is to awaken. In my daily life, I frequently practice this awareness in accordance with your guidance. Everything is merely a hallucinatory manifestation of THAT — this is not a hollow platitude, but a truth to be experienced directly through the senses and the mind. This applies most notably to the individual "I": when you attempt to seek it out, this "I" appears merely as a nebulous, formless field —something that simply cannot be found. BEINGIS: Yes, you cannot find THAT; yet, at every moment, you can effortlessly detect energetic effects of THAT, for example, effect of the Mind, and effect of awareness. Even the sense of "feeling of I" is an energetic effect of THAT — indeed, everything is an energetic effect of THAT. It is akin to the principle that the eye cannot see itself, yet it can see the energetic effects it generates. To see all the energetic effects of THAT is, in essence, to see THAT itself. Reader: What is seen is not truly seen; what is heard is not truly heard — all are merely stories conjured by the Mind itself. When one ceases to take any of this as real, true relaxation naturally ensues. Even if a sense of tension occasionally arises again, one immediately perceives that the area of ​​tension is, in reality, nothing more than a cluster of energy — energy that cannot truly be defined as "tension." BEINGIS: Well said! Yes — "seeing" is not actually the act of seeing; "hearing" is not actually the act of hearing; "thinking" is not actually the act of thinking; "perceiving" is not actually the act of perceiving. Nothing is what you take it to be — that is to say, nothing is what the Mind interprets it to be. To "not take things seriously" does not merely mean refraining from taking a specific event or object seriously; rather, it entails not taking all energetic patterning or texture seriously — across the board.

Do Not Pursue the State of "Enlightenment" Reader: Sir, you understand enlightenment, right? All these experiences remain unchanged; the only change is no longer seeing anything as problematic? BEINGIS: Do not speculate on what it's supposedly like after "enlightenment." These speculations are all just the Mind's stories, meaningless. Even the state of "enlightenment" itself cannot be pinned down — how could one possibly define "enlightenment"? Of course, relaxation is real, but labeling "relaxation" as "enlightenment" is still just circling around in conceptual traps, pointless. Forget all that — pay attention to your own energetic textures. You (SELF) have no distinction between "enlightened" and "unenlightened"; you yourself are THAT, already naturally perfect and complete, right here and now as it is, without needing to reach some desired state of "enlightenment" speculated from the Mind. Yes, it seems like everything is changing, yet nothing is actually changing at all. How could you yourself (that is, THAT) undergo any actual change? Your own energetic form appears to shift in a thousand and a million ways, but that doesn't mean you yourself (that is, THAT) are actually undergoing any change. In other words, the apparent moment-to-moment flux is equivalent to nothing changing at all; the apparent shifts in energetic patterns are all empty in nature. You don't need to reach some supposed "enlightenment" tomorrow — you can notice right now, in this very moment, that the apparent myriad changes amount to nothing changing, meaning these "changes" are illusory, empty. You don't have to wait for tomorrow; in the next second, you can savor this subtlety — and that's enough. Do not fantasize about attaining some "enlightenment" state in the future. If you fall into such a desire, you'll always be striving for tomorrow's, the day after's, next year's, or the year after's "enlightenment" state — how then can you immediately taste the sweetness that's already here and now? This sweetness requires no effort; it's free, a natural completeness that's simply present. When you follow the Mind's logic in expecting tomorrow's bliss, you become like someone blind with eyes wide open, unable to notice the perfection that's already here and now. It's as if you're longing all day for riches, unaware that true wealth is already right under your feet, already there — and like a blind person, you can't see it. As I said before, there was a king who took a portion of forgetfulness drug and walked the streets outside his palace, fully convinced he was a penniless beggar, completely immersed in the role. In the end, he was shocked to realize he'd fallen into the illusion of being a "beggar." Aren't you right now just as deluded by the illusion of "I am a person"? Reader: Once realized, there can still be apparent "changes" happening on the level of experience, as long as they're not taken as actual or taken seriously. For example, in experience, I have nearsightedness and might want to get surgery to correct it, while knowing that the surgery itself is empty in nature. There's also no actual "I" that can decide to do it or not — even if it seems like my choice, it's actually the doing of THAT. Is that how it is? Because in this article, you say it's okay to allow apparent changes to occur; as long as you don't take them as real, it's fine. BEINGIS: Yes, that's how it is. The apparent illness is empty; the apparent treatment is empty. The apparent decision coming from "me" is empty; the apparent sense of "me" is empty. Since all of it is empty, there's no need to eliminate these apparent situations — just allow them to unfold in their empty, apparent way. Don't take them as real or as seriously, and relaxation follows.

Awareness or Consciousness is like icing on a cake Reader: The self-feedback loop: the more I worry... the more I fear..., the more I self-fulfill the feared scenario. So, the "I" here must refer to me as a person, right? it seems that it's a way to control what to happen by me as a person. BEINGIS: Yes, for most people, the feeling of "I" is based on a subtle assumption that "I am a person". When you identify the feeling of "I" to be a personal I, the feeling of control is naturally being felt as if everything can be controlled by "me". Of course, this is an illusion. With more noticing, the feeling of "I" may expand to encompass all experiential patterning. Eventually, even the feeling of "I" is like a dream feeling, not important. It can be transcended. Please note, transcending the feeling of "I" does not mean to suppress this feeling, but take such feeling less and less seriously. You (SELF) require no feeling of "I" to be felt. Just like you don't rely on a dream to be experienced. What I am actually saying is that 'awareness' or 'consciousness' is like icing on a cake, they are insubstantial energetic effect of SELF and not required, just like you are not required to dream a dream. Awareness or consciousness comes and goes, it's repeating every day and night. You don't need to be nearing a death bed to experience that. Well, it is no way to accurately define what is meant by "no awareness". In order to evaluate a state of "no awareness", you need awareness to be there in the first place! So, it's a logical dilemma. What does this logical dilemma suggest? Even the idea of 'awareness' is purely an abstract construct from the Mind. In other words, the stuff you think is 'awareness' is entirely not actually awareness. What is it anyway? No way to define! see! we don't even know what 'awareness' is, let alone pinpoint the dividing line between 'having awareness' and 'no awareness'. So, don't waste time trying to figure it out, just like you don't waste time trying to figure out what a dream is.

You don't have the choice of standing in the wrong position; such a choice is an illusion Reader: Sir, I find that everything you've been saying is THAT doing it, and it has nothing to do with you —including not taking it seriously, not caring — it's all said from the position of THAT. This "you" can easily be misunderstood as the individual "I." Only when returning to the position of oneness can one truly experience the flavor of not taking it seriously. An individual "I" won't not take it seriously; even if it doesn't take it seriously, it will still implicitly take it seriously. So, you often say that standing in the right position is very important. BEINGIS: It's not really that there are two positions to choose from — one being the position of THAT, the other being the position of "you this person" — but rather, there has never actually been a position of "you this person," so you yourself are always in the position of THAT, because you are THAT, with no choice. If the Mind thinks there is a choice, it's like a choice in a dream — empty in nature, merely a felt sense of choice, but actually none exists. However, you yourself seem to be experiencing experiences, and it doesn't deny that from the perspective of experiential experience, there appears to be a position of "me this person." This very experiential feeling is precisely the projective effect of the Mind, a projection effect of your own energy (THAT), or what could be called the sacred effect of Manifestation. Notice it for a moment — see if this seemingly real position of "me this person" is actual? Or is it more like the empty feeling like that in a dream? This is sensitivity training. Although it seems you're experiencing the feeling of "you this person's position," it in no way affects the fact that you yourself have always been THAT, with no change at all. No matter how experiences and sensations vary endlessly, they do not affect you yourself at all. Experiential experiences come and go, flickering and changing in an instant; this very feeling of "coming and going and flickering change" is precisely you yourself, that is, the natural energetic effect of THAT, or what could be called the natural energetic PATTERN of THAT. Although they are not really the situations interpreted by the Mind, they are still you yourself. Train your own energy sensitivity — don't take the "positions" or "situations" that seem to appear in experiential experiences as actual; they are all completely empty energetic effects.

There is no opposition between “personal will” and the will of THAT; the “entire world” is none other than yourself (SELF) Reader: Suddenly, I feel that I can boldly express the “self’s” will, can boldly follow the self’s will in acting, with no need to suppress it at all, while at the same time reminding myself and seeing that this is the will of THAT, and there is no truly individual will, no “my” entity as a recipient — reminding myself that this too is an illusion. BEINGIS: Yes, when you deeply realize that all the energy effects of THAT are equivalent to THAT itself, then the apparent “personal will” is equivalent to the spontaneous, automatic will of THAT, with no separation. Yes, all the energy effects of THAT are exactly equal to THAT itself, so there is no real existence of something called “personal will.” The subtlety is, if you still believe there is an opposition between “my will” and the will of THAT, and take such logic as true, this is an invisible illusory assumption. It is also subtle that when the Mind’s effects strongly suggest there is “me as a person” here, and there is a THAT existing outside of “me as a person,” if you take such interpretations of the Mind as true, then apparent separation arises, then apparent misalignment of wills arises, then apparent suffering comes into being accordingly. Because you have imagined “me” and THAT as separate, subtly creating a dividing line between "me" and THAT. Note that these senses of “separation,” “misalignment,” and “suffering” are all merely seeming, not actual. Because no matter how the effects of the Mind interpret it, there does not actually exist a “personal will”; all actions, all thoughts, all intentions are nothing but the vibrational energy of the same THAT. In other words, when a thought of “I want to do this” arises, this thought does not truly come from “me as a person,” but is the spontaneous, automatic arising of Infinite Radiant Energy itself, requiring no reason, with no distinction of right or wrong. In other words, when the body performs a certain action or behavior, such action or behavior does not truly come from the will of “me as a person,” but is the spontaneous, automatic arising of Infinite Radiant Energy itself. When you pour tea, it is THAT pouring tea; when you walk, it is THAT walking; when you stumble, it is THAT stumbling; when you laugh, it is THAT laughing— there is no real separation. In summary, when you see everything as an opposition between “me” and the “world,” then in feeling, you will sense separation, yet there is no real separation — it is merely an illusory sense of “separation” in feeling alone. For example, when you see your boyfriend as another independent individual “he” who is separate from “me as a person,” then, in order to gain his attention or response, “me as a person” will suffer greatly, as if the happiness of “me as a person” is built on the foundation of “his as a person” attention. But when you suddenly realize that there is no actual existence of “him as a person,” nor an actual existence of “me as a person,” and that everything is the same Infinite Radiant Energy vibrating, flowing, breathing, then the demand of “me as a person” for “him as a person” weakens and disappears, because you realize that such mental craving is actually fabricated. Hehe, what’s interesting is that once you no longer fall into the dead loop of “I need him,” this realization immediately reflects onto Infinite Radiant total energy; Infinite Radiant Energy immediately relaxes, and miracles happen instead, because the so-called “he” is the same Infinite Radiant Energy that is yourself (SELF) — where is there really a “he”? Just like that, the so-called “he” immediately senses this subtle shift, and the miracle occurs. Conversely, when you take as true the desire that “I” strongly needs “him” in order to be happy, and fall into such mental logic all day long, the so-called “he” will drift further and further away — this is the interesting self-suggestion and self-feedback loop: the more you worry about something, the more it self-fulfills what you worry about; the more you fear losing, the more you self-fulfill the feared “loss”; the more you are afraid, the more you self-fulfill the feared scenario. When you let go of the worry and fear, then the entire world will bow at your feet, because the so-called “entire world” is nothing but the manifest effect of your own Infinite Radiant Energy, and there is no actual “entire world” — only yourself (SELF).

You haven't realized that this very moment is already the ultimate sacred manifestation, yet you still chase after the "manifestation" that the mind hopes for Reader: I’ll definitely savor this article carefully — one slip, and I’ll truly get tangled up in it. When I’m not relaxed, I know I’m caught in that entanglement. I’m still wrestling with whether or not to do this so-called manifestation, because BEINGIS never encourages us to change the dream experience. But then I think, actually, the mind’s will is also that spontaneous automatic unfolding. The apparent manifestation and change are spontaneous automatic too. Directly stepping into possession in the now is no problem, and there’s no need to take non-possession as real and reject or change it. BEINGIS: As long as you don’t take it as real, you can do anything — or not do anything — there are no taboos. In last night’s dream, was there a difference between “doing” or “not doing”? Did it matter? Not at all. Every act of doing is THAT’s spontaneous automatic unfolding; every act of not doing is also THAT’s spontaneous automatic unfolding. It has nothing to do with “you.” If suddenly you could “manifest,” it wouldn’t be “your” achievement — it’s THAT’s spontaneous automation. If you can’t “manifest,” it’s not “your” failure either — it’s just THAT’s natural appearance, not a problem. What is “manifestation” anyway? I think you are not clear. The way things are right now, like the sense of “space & time,” like “sunlight,” the “people” you see, the “scenery” you see, the air the body breaths — aren’t they already manifestations of Infinite Radiant Energy? Don’t you find that thrilling enough? — do you need something more exciting? Like the Mind craving the miracle of “suddenly gaining some treasure no one else has,” or the Mind craving the miracle of “suddenly striking it rich,” or the Mind craving the miracle of “suddenly gaining social status, rising to the top of society, basking in wealth and glory,” or for example... [and so on]. The Mind is forever dissatisfied. Actually, Infinite Radiant Energy is endlessly manifesting miracles right here and now. Isn’t that basic sense of “I” already THAT’s manifestation? Isn’t that basic sense of “time passing” already a magical manifestation? You can “see” — isn’t this very effect of “seeing” already a miraculous manifestation of Infinite Radiant Energy? Isn’t this the grand miracle of your own (SELF)? Isn’t that most basic sense of “being” already the greatest miraculous manifestation?! But the Mind thinks it’s too ordinary, too mundane — the Mind wants special experiences, experiences no one else has. That’s the Mind’s desire, and you need to keenly notice all these varieties of mind-desires. As long as the Mind has desires, there will be people in society offering classes to satisfy those mind-desires. Where there’s demand, there’s supply — that’s taking the story of emptiness as real and taking it seriously, like a blind person who can’t see the great miracle of this very presence. This seemingly ordinary presence is precisely THAT’s ultimate, great miracle spontaneously and automatically revealing itself, yet the Mind dismisses it and chases after the “manifestation” in its imagination, falling into this Mind's logic loop — how could it not lead to suffering?

Are these all-prearranged fixed endings? Reader: I have a slight confusion. You said: "Everything is the spontaneous automation of Infinite Radiant total energy itself, already arranged long ago." So, are all the experiences we're going through right now truly pointing toward a fixed ending? Or in other words, did the development of these experiences come with a predetermined script from the very beginning? BEINGIS: I didn't say "arranged." I only said that everything is the spontaneous automation of the total energy, not "arranged" in advance. I only pointed out that the Mind's will does not necessarily align with the spontaneous automation of the total energy. I also didn't say "fixed ending." These notions of "prearranged" and "fixed ending" are illusory assumptions of the Mind's logic. Infinite Radiant Energy itself does not "prearrange" things, nor does it have any concept of an "ending." These are all fabricated conceptual assumptions seen through the effects of the Mind. Please note that from the mind's perspective, everything seems to have cause-and-effect relationships, and from the illusory logic of those cause-and-effect illusions, such illusory assumptions as "prearrangement" and "fixed outcomes" arise. But you yourself (SELF) — that is, Infinite Radiant Energy —have absolutely none of these concepts. Take an example: last night in a dream, the "I" in the dream was pondering, "Is all of this a prearranged fate?" The character "I" in the dream continued to think, "Is my ending already fixed? Do I still need to strive to change the status quo?" The character in the dream was just like the "you" right now, pondering these questions. When you realize that the entire dream is an empty dream story, you can't find any trace of "prearrangement," nor can you find a "fixed ending." You discover that the entire chain of cause and effect comes entirely from the Mind's illusory assumptions, with no real basis whatsoever, and you simply laugh off the whole dream story. To put it another way, from the Mind's perspective, everything seems like "one thing after another," but that's not what's actually happening — everything is the patterning or qualitative texture of Infinite Radiant Energy, not really "one thing after another." From the Mind's perspective, everything seems "arranged," either arranged by "me," or by "God," or anyway, all "arranged" — that's the logic of cause-and-effect relationships. No, there's absolutely no such thing as "arrangement." Instead, it's Infinite Radiant Energy in spontaneous automation, just like how your body's muscles sometimes suddenly twitch on their own — not meaning that this sudden twitch was "prearranged." You can only say that all of this is your own total energy in spontaneous automation, without cause and without ending. But from the Mind's perspective, everything leads to some kind of "ending," whether a "good ending" or a "bad ending." These examples all show you how the Mind gets trapped in dialectical speculation, making countless conceptual assumptions and taking them as real — originally free of trouble, yet creating trouble for itself. What should you do? You can anytime notice these worries about "endings," worries about the development of "events," worries about "fate." Noticing these is equivalent to noticing the operation of the Mind, equivalent to transcending the operation of the Mind. There's no need to try to change the content of the experience. If the body wants to live a good life, then allow it — changes in the form of experience aren't the issue. But when you interpret changes in the form of experience into heavy conceptual burdens like "fate, arrangement, ending," originally free of trouble, you create trouble for yourself. If in the experience there's an apparent opportunity to live a good life, why not allow it? It's all fine, as long as you don't take it as real, as long as it's not taken seriously. If in the experience there's no opportunity to live a good life, then let it be as it is —nothing to complain about. After all, this story is like last night's dream; it's all fine, no gain and no loss, just don't take it seriously.

No need to eradicate the "desire to change for the better" Reader: It's true, it's already emerged, and I'm savoring the desire for emptiness, the painful desire for a response from a boyfriend that goes unfulfilled — it's the spontaneous, automatic, indeterminate emptiness, the great sameness, the divine energy flow. I'm savoring it. But the teacher says that desire to change for the better is taking it as seriously, yet the desire to change does exist. Can I directly assume and step into the frequency where I've already received his full response, releasing this desire to change for the better? The desire to change is actually a kind of hindrance. BEINGIS: No, the desire for "change" itself isn't the problem — as long as you don't take such a desire seriously, that's fine. Let the desire rise by itself, let the so-called "changes" happen by themselves. If another desire arises, like "I must eradicate the desire to change" and you notice it, that's already enough; noticing it means you've keenly noticed both the desire and the counter-desire. That's sufficient. But suppose you start taking this counter-desire seriously — seriously believing the desire to eradicate the "desire to change for the better" is a better choice — hoping to wipe out the "desire to change". Well, that would be equivalent to taking it seriously all over again. See how subtle that is? The "desire to change" is no issue — why can't uncomfortable situations be allowed to change? While permitting changes, you don't take the "desire to change" seriously; it's no big deal, just let it change. Do you really think that if you disallow change, the energetic PATTERN won't shift on its own? Of course, not — Infinitely Radiant Energy flows spontaneously and automatically, uncontrolled by the Mind's intentions. Of course, staying unchanged is fine too. In other words, whether there's a "desire to change" in your experience or not, or whether "change" occurs or not, it's all irrelevant. It's not about using a "desire not to change" to counterattack the "desire to change" nor using "unchanging" to fight back against "changing." If you fall into that kind of Mind's judgmental loop, that's taking it seriously. In the question above, you hope to release the "desire to change". NO, there's nothing that needs releasing —everything is just your own energy effect. There's no "negative" situation that requires release; you don't need to release any desire. Just let all sorts of logic of the Mind, all sorts of Mind's dialectics, flow through you like gusts of wind. You can allow change to occur, you can allow no-changes, you can allow both change and remain unchanged — whatever form the experience takes, it doesn't actually affect you. Savor the taste of how, no matter how experiential patterns shift and vary in form, they are completely unable to touch your own essence. And it's not about picking sides, choosing "unchanging" to oppose "change," or choosing "change" to counter "unchanging," nor letting some "X mind set" battle some "Y mind set." Such desires to pick sides are exactly what it means to take it seriously.

The "I" in the dream is impossible to emerge from the dream, it's the dreaming effect itself. You (SELF) is infinitely beyond the "I" in the storyline - Dialogue with the Reader Reader: I've been pondering this topic all day today. Clearly, in last night's dream, everything operates and changes on its own— the body does what it does, the story unfolds as it does. Yet during the day, with insufficient clarity, there's still this delusion that "I" am the one deciding the day's arrangements, like whether to pick up the stray animal today or how to plan its future... 😮‍💨 This creates entanglement. I probably still need to keep seeing through the illusion that there's no author at all — the body just does what it does on its own. BEINGIS: Look at this story in front of you — vivid and lifelike. It seems to have animals, seems to have needs, seems to have the animal's future life. But all of this is no different from the dream story you had last night: it all appears real, but it's actually completely empty, just a story of pure suchness. Now look again at this story —it's full of worries, worries that without your help, the animal's future will be miserable. These are all the interpretations of the Mind and conclusions assumed within the storyline. Know this: the entire logic of the story is as empty as last night's dream. Such worries and such a story are equally empty — they seem to happen, but nothing actually happens. Not only should you not take the plot of the story as real, but don't take the logic of the Mind that analyzes the plot as real either. Even without "your" help, because everything has always been energetic projections from Infinite Radiant Energy itself, it's already arranged perfectly — no real need for "you the person" to help. Even the plotline of "you the person" is a completely spontaneous, automatic flow of energetic patterning, needing no help at all. This is the profound meaning of "no-doer". Even if the apparent "you" makes so-called "help," that "help" is still the spontaneous automatic vibrations of Infinite Radiant Energy, not really coming from "you the person". So, you can apparently go and help, or apparently not help — it's all the same total energy spontaneously automating, without right or wrong. Reader: I keep having moments of insight followed by confusion — even seeing that I'm just creating my own troubles, seeing the inertial thinking chasing its own tail like a snake — but it's like I can't achieve complete clarity. When I encounter an animal in distress, I rescue it based on my own cognition, then neuter it based on my own thinking, only to fall into mental entanglement over whether to release it or take it home. Releasing it means letting it keep wandering, and I'm worried about its fate; taking it home feels like my dualistic cognition is just self-inflicted trouble, arrogantly depriving the infinite awareness of its infinite qualitative experience. BEINGIS: Don't assume the state of "I am confused" to be actual — how could you possibly measure the scale of "confusion" versus "clarity"? It's completely impossible; there's no reference point to distinguish "confusion" from "clarity." Don't pursue so-called "clarity" either because this goal is a target imagined by the Mind. How would you measure the degree of "clarity"? You can't, so such a goal is also an illusory story plot — the entire assessment of the status quo is completely illusory story logic. The Mind illusorily assumes there's currently an "I this person in confusion" —that's not the case! Right now, is simply THAT, pure you yourself (SELF), which is to say, pure Infinite Radiant Energy itself — how could it be "I this person in confusion"? Have you noticed? This whole class of conceptual assumptions is precisely the root cause of suffering. It's not that there's actually some suffering right now — this apparent suffering is entirely based on the Mind's illusory assumptions. In summary: the moment you notice the Mind narrating "I am in confusion," you've already noticed the Mind's illusion. This noticing means you've already transcended the Mind's narration. Every time you notice the Mind narrating "I haven't yet attained clarity," you've noticed the Mind's trickery. Reader: On one hand, I clearly know that the screen-like existence experiencing everything is unchanging and thus, everything is just the current focused awareness experience — simply infinite awareness. But in actual situations, I still get entangled, as if I'm always seeking some choice that will completely reassure me. BEINGIS: You complain: "But in actual situations, I still get entangled." You see this situation as negative, something that needs to stop. Is it really negative? Why the complaint? Because the one complaining isn't you yourself as Infinite Radiant Energy — it's precisely the cunning logic of the Mind complaining; in other words, it's the logic of the Mind within the dream story complaining that the story plot is negative and needs improvement. Have you noticed? These complaints are precisely the illusory story plot itself — not able to transcend the story plot itself. You yourself aren't really in the story plot at al — so just let the Mind continue to complain; what does it have to do with you yourself? If you feel uncomfortable, that's the Mind interpreting out the idea of "uncomfortable," and it's unrelated to you yourself (SELF). When you see these complaints, when you notice this idea of "uncomfortable," just laugh it off— don't own the "complaint," don't own the "uncomfortable." They're as irrelevant to you as the events that seemed to happen in last night's dream! Reader: I know full well that I'm taking it seriously, creating my own troubles, but this inertial thinking is so hard to brake — it loves telling stories, spinning one tragic tale after another of stray animals separated from their young. On one hand, I know roughly what your answer would be, but I still can't help crying. BEINGIS: You're misunderstanding — there's absolutely no need to stop "inertial thinking logic". NO! Simply noticing "inertial thinking logic" is enough; there's no task of making the Mind brake. It's like noticing the dream story apparently continuing, without any task of making the dream story brake. You have no burden of stopping anything! Why concern yourself with how poignant or moving the story plot is? When you discover that all experiential experiences are as completely empty or insubstantial as last night's dream, what importance or meaning does the sadness and emotion in the story hold? Reader: Awareness is indeed awareness, but it's "illusion." Sigh, today I inexplicably feel that the word "illusion" is truly marvelous — turns out just this one word can be savored so deeply. Awareness is indeed awareness; all awareness is indeed all awareness. But all awareness is merely awareness, and it's an insubstantial empty qualitative sense. Visual forms, sounds, smells, tastes, tactile sensations, mental objects — awareness of them; consciousness awareness; time awareness, space awareness, "I feel" — all awareness is merely an awareness effect, so it's illusion... BEINGIS: You're also misunderstanding: "Awareness" is the energetic effect of "awareness", or energetic effect of consciousness — it's the energetic effect of non-individual Infinite Radiant Energy. Such an energetic effect is as actual as SELF itself; the apparently manifesting energetic texture is also actual. However, the effect of awareness is an energetic effect of intrinsic intelligence: it analyzes and interprets the projected energetic texture, or phenomenon, interpreting non-personal, storiless energetic PATTERN as a story about some person — that's the illusion. You can't say that the projected energetic PATTERN is illusion. For example, energetic texture isn't of "form," yet the effect of the Mind interprets it as "form"; energetic texture isn't of "spacetime," yet the effect of the Mind interprets it as "spacetime" and such. Reality isn't illusion — reality is you yourself (SELF). But the logic, stories, definitions that the Mind narrates to you — they're all illusions. Reader: Mr. BEINGIS, I'm still pondering these things today — hope you don't mind my questions seeming basic. Actually, I've also seen that right now, besides various awareness of experiences, nothing is happening— no substantiality at all. The only thing stirring the present is being pulled along by the content narrated by thoughts, taking the content spoken by thoughts as real. Thoughts say, "If you release the stray cat, what about food and shelter?" Thoughts say, "They belong to nature anyway." BEINGIS: Yes, the only thing you have is "awareness," or simply put, "experience" — beyond "experience," there's nothing else. You yourself (SELF), that is, Infinite Radiant Energy, is the only actuality. The energetic effect of "awareness" effect is actual, but all situations that are interpreted by the effect of awareness effect (or effect of the Mind) are illusions. Yes, the concept of "stray cat" is what the Mind narrates to you. Without the Mind's interpretation, you might see the image of a "cat," perhaps hear the sound of "cat's" meow — but these are all energetic textures or patterns, not actually a so-called "cat" in these energetic textures or patterns. These energetic textures are all intimately you yourself (SELF). But once Mind's interpretation starts, suddenly there's an apparent "cat that's not my own," and apparent worry about "the cat's future life" arising. All these worries and definitions are entirely illusory assumptions projected by the effect of awareness effect, or simply said, effect of the Mind. Reader: Actually, today I also figured it out: let things be as they are — whatever happens doesn't seem wrong either. Clearly, even in the dream, I've observed that everything is actually total radiant energy operating on its own. Perhaps I still need to keep infusing, continuously recognizing that the body is "doing" on its own, thoughts are "arising" on their own, my feeling is "experiencing" on its own. BEINGIS: Good — you can start by savoring that everything is spontaneous and automatic. The apparent body's actions seem to come from "my will," but they're completely spontaneous and automatic — even the arising of "will" or "thoughts" is Infinite Radiant Energy spontaneously automating, not really coming from "you this person". Yes, the body acts automatically, not really driven by a person called "you". Actually, the body moves prior to the arising of thought that says that "I moved the body". Since the arising of thought and apparent moving of the body happen seemingly simultaneously, it gives the Mind an illusion that the thought is the driving force of the movement. Reader: Sir, I'm still pondering this today, then went searching your articles by keywords to listen. Hearing certain lines from that piece "How I Transform Erotic Thoughts with Emptiness Wisdom" struck me as so subtle: self doesn't reject this "sense of self" — self is all awareness, that is, the present moment. It's just that before, it was singly focused on some limited dimension, like thoughts and body, but actually, self hadn't recognized that other infinite dimensions are also itself. BEINGIS: Yes, the "sense of self" comes from Mind's interpretation — no need to reject it, just like all sensations in the dream story are the dream story itself — no need to reject. Only when you take the dream story as real do you want to reject situations in the dream story. That's why the desire to "reject" precisely reflects taking it as real. Yes — not only "body and thoughts" are you yourself (SELF); the entire apparent grand "universe" is you yourself (SELF), because these energetic textures are projections of your own energetic effects — is 100% you yourself (SELF). Do you see that in your dream last night, there seems to be a universe as grand as the current universe? Where did that universe in your dream go? Reader: So then, arising thoughts and intentions, all visual, auditory, olfactory sensations — all the other "beings" in the visuals — they're all SELF too. The "present moment" returns to "self," "self" melts into the "present moment" — it feels like seeing oneself anew. All effects arise from SELF, but self isn't a thing — self is the effect of the present moment's infinite dimensions yet can't be defined; self is also moment by moment arising and ceasing, moment by moment freshly presenting, arising and dying in the instant. BEINGIS: Yes, you are right, you savored well. Everything you mentioned above — "arising thoughts and intentions, visuals, beings, spacetime, universe" — they're all the same yourself (SELF), nothing else. "Sense of Self" is still just one kind of your own (SELF's) energetic texture — no need to return, because SELF's energetic texture was already SELF itself — so how could there be a need to return? Yes, it seems like "moment by moment arising and ceasing, moment by moment fresh," but carefully savor and observe, even the situation of "moment by moment arising and ceasing" and "moment by moment fresh" comes from a conceptual assumption of the Mind. You yourself, as Infinite Radiant total energy, have no concepts of "arising-ceasing" or "new-old." Likewise, when you carefully observe you yourself, you'll find that even the "infinite dimensions" are apparent phenomena, conceptual descriptions forcibly added by the Mind —Infinite Radiant Energy has no such thing as "dimensions". That's why the one who truly realizes transcends "birth and death". Don't misunderstand: the meaning of "transcending birth and death" isn't that some person becomes immortal, but that you've discovered you yourself (SELF) have no such thing as "arising-ceasing" or "new-old," no such thing as "spacetime", no such things as "beginning - ending". The apparent "arising-ceasing" is just like dreaming as entertainment — not really having such a thing as "birth and death". Reader: It's pretty subtle — there's a sense of returning. Maybe nothing has changed; it's just that the unspeakable focus has expanded or scattered. Troubles have always been self-troubling itself; planning and scheming are self-planning and scheming; wanting to make money, wanting freedom, wanting health regimens, wanting good food, wanting to rescue animals — it's always self-thinking up or experiencing or presenting these thoughts. Hmm, not sure how to put it— it's a feeling that self and SELF are one. BEINGIS: You can temporarily have a "returning" feeling— no problem. Gradually, you'll discover you yourself have never "left," never moved, never begun, never ceased — so the conceptual assumption of "returning" loses meaning too. No, "troubles" are merely interpretations of the effect of the Mind; you yourself as Infinite Radiant Energy have no such thing as "troubles". For example: it seems you're dreaming, and in the dream you feel troubled. Suddenly, you realize the whole experience is an empty dream. So, though you still feel "troubled," you realize this "feeling of trouble" is also part of the dream story, never goes beyond the dream story — like the dream story itself, completely irrelevant. Then, the apparent "trouble" no longer stings, isn't so troubling anymore — even savorable as a sweet feeling. This is the subtlety of "trouble" being sweetness. In other words, the same experience was used to be viewed as negative, now, you are tasting the flavor of sweetness of it. Reader: Sir, I'm back again — it feels like I just need to break through at one point. These past couple days, I've been deeply investigating this. While you weren't replying to me, I searched your articles by the keyword "thoughts" for content matching mine. Now it feels like this limited "self" positioning is almost bursting at the seams 🤥— images and thoughts can present because the screen naturally has the effect of presenting these "forms." BEINGIS: Very good — just like that, self-savoring, you are doing well, continue... Reader: So all those entanglements I have, those value judgments, those worries about the animal's fate —they're originally just thought-rational effects projected by THAT itself, like in the dream: apparent body, apparent happenings. But the "seeing effect" is always present; "thoughts" still arise — they're all built-in effects of the entire "dream field." Even in the dream, there's illusory positioning, believing all observation comes from the dream person; the dream person can't see that awareness is just awareness, the dream person can't emerge from the dream. BEINGIS: Haha, you've already noticed. You yourself have already noticed — no need for me to explain further. Yes, even in the dream there are "thoughts," seeming to come from that "I" in the dream; even in the dream there are stray cats — the whole situation in the dream is nothing but illusory illusion. Is there any difference right now? None. The "I" right now and the "I" in last night's dream are the same illusory "I-feeling" —not going beyond the storyline itself. So, none of it matters; the "I" in the story doesn't need saving, has no way out — the empty story doesn't need saving. But these energetic phenomena have all been seen — the "seeing" effect is precisely the energetic effect of Infinite Radiant Energy itself. Infinite Radiant Energy does nothing at all yet can apparently experience apparently real story plots — as entertainment is fine. You yourself (SELF) eternally, unconditionally abides in natural perfection. You are correct, the "I" in a story, regardless right now or in last night's dream, never emerge from the storyline, never escape from the storyline, the "I" is an integral part of the storyline itself. So, let it be as is - don't bother with it. Treat it as temporary entertainment. Of course, the "I" can strive for comfort, can avoid dangers, nothing wrong about it. Just don't take the storyline seriously, just like you won't take a story in a movie seriously. You, SELF, is the only actuality. You (SELF) can seemingly project out infinite episodes of stories. That's okay, they are like movies you watch, never actually effect you (SELF) at all. Be happy and feel unconditionally safe, like permanently lying in mother (your SELF)'s cradle.

@illusionaurie Tysm! I'm still a beginner and slightly confused in some areas so just wanted something with a clearer direction and better clarity, I'll check these out🤍

@boredaloo all books are just pointers, don’t hang onto their every word, but the most memorable one is neville, others I like to skim through sometimes are conversations with god, ramana maharshi who am I, untethered soul

me when I was overconsuming like crazy back then, dispenza, neville, buddhism books, eckhart tolle, philosophy books, neuroscience books, everything in ada’s drive, etc all for me to find out, through direct experience, everyone is pointing to the same thing in different words
