Life is very simple, when you sit back and relax and go with the flow. The problem with mankind is that we think we are too special. Afterall, millions had died before us, and millions will die after us. Our ego, our life story is insignificant to everyone but ourselves. And yet, it caused us so much misery, when we define our worth through our achievements, our romance, basically our life story in short. And very soon, our body too will be gone, leaving no trace. But out of ignorance, we choose to spend this little time worrying, hoping, yearning and despairing.
This sense of self is false, for the simple fact that we are born without it. It is an artificial construct, made up of memories, ideas, emotions, hopes, values etc. That is why, when people said I changed, they actually meant that the contents of this false self had changed. This mistaken sense of self caused humans much suffering, for it is very fragile. If you derive your self-worth from your youth and beauty, what happens when you grow old? If you define your life goal is to find "true love", what happens when he leaves you or rejects you?
Remember, when you were a small child, when you do not derive your self worth through other's approval of you, when you do not find meaning in life through finding a bf who truly loves you. Isnt life so much simpler and happier?
Impossible? Understand why you ended up this way in the first place, and you will find the path back to Eden, back to innocence.
Our true self, is the silent witness that illuminates our existence.
It is not what we hears, but the witness to the sound that the ears hear.
It is not what we sees, but the witness to the sight that the eyes see.
It is not what we think, but the witness to the thoughts that the brain thinks.
It is not what we feel, but the witness to the feelings that our heart feels. etc
It is only this silent witness, that had not changed since time eternity. This silent witness is the source of all creation, all illumination of consciousness. To the atheist, he is known as Nothing, known as true space. To those who knows him, he is known as God. Because he is Nothing, he has no beginning nor end. Because he is Nothing, he is infinite and without boundary. Because he is Nothing, he is the source and origin of All creations. Because he is Nothing, he breaths life to Man and all deaths returns to him. We fear him, because Nothing is the cessation of our ego. Yet, only through him, through communion with him that we may find liberation and the ultimate ecstasy that is beyond pleasure and pain. He is the only Truth, for all things, thoughts, ideas, doctrines have a beginning and end. And He is before what all begins and He is what all will be when all ends.
To be in communion with him, only a silent prayer of humility. Only total silence can unite with total silence, only true space can unite with true space. Once in communion, you will understand that, He, true space, God, is liberation, is love, is humility, is worship, is ecstasy, is peace. And upon seeing his true face, you will henceforth drop all fictional ideas and imaginations of the Eternal one.
All I have said are indisputable scientific facts, that True space is Alpha and Omega, is infinite without boundaries, is the origin of all Creations. However, agreeing or disagreeing with me is pointless, for the truth about being in communion with him, God, this true space, is our only liberation, can only be verified when you are in actual communion with him. For me, God has become my existential reality, no longer a belief, a theory, a set of moral values. And thus, your agreement or disagreement hardly bothers me at all. But to those few friends to whom I've given you a glimpse of Him. Seek him with all your being, for it is the only meaningful and worthy thing you can do in your life.
