Just Ask 'Who Am I?'

Unless you know yourself well, how can you know another? And when you know yourself, you are the other. (429) Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj from I Am That === You have never moved. You have always surrounded and projected yourself creatively into a self-generated mandala or world of experience made of consciousness itself. Look around, everything seen and sensed is pure self-generated consciousness. There are no other "things" or "beings" outside this consciousness. This is true for everyone. We are only seeing ourselves in all that we see, but "our self" is what everything is. Jackson Peterson

there is a certain kind of light that only comes from having been through a certain kind of darkness.

It is your show.

It is your universe.

There is no one else here, just you, and nothing is being withheld from you.

You are completely on your own.

Everything is available for direct knowing.

No one else has anything you need.

No one else can lead you, pull you, push you or carry you.

The Ashtavakra Gita is a classic advaita text that presents the dialogue between the sage Ashtavakra and King Janaka. Stating that you are the pure witnessing presence (Atman). Everything else — including the physical body, the mind's thoughts, and the identity of the ego — are objects that you observe. Unlike other scriptures, this is direct and radical. It doesn’t focus on rituals, discipline, or gradual progress. Instead, it points straight to this truth: ~ You are already free. 

~ You are already complete. It does not mention any morality or duties, and therefore is seen by commentators as free from concepts. It also dismisses names and forms as unreal and a sign of ignorance.

Awareness vs. Consciousness

Awareness is the absolute, primordial, and changeless state of being, while consciousness is the relative, changeable "I am" presence that appears with the body. Awareness is the witness of consciousness, which requires an object to exist (like a screen to a movie), whereas awareness requires nothing.

The path into the light seems dark,

the path forward seems to go back,

the direct path seems long,

true power seems weak,

true purity seems tarnished,

true steadfastness seems changeable,

true clarity seems obscure,

the greatest art seems unsophisticated,

the greatest love seems indifferent,

the greatest wisdom seems childish.

There is nothing to practice. To know yourself, be yourself. To be yourself, stop imagining yourself to be this or that. Just be. Let your true nature emerge. Don’t disturb your mind with seeking.
