The ego is always seeking an identity. This incessant identity seeking activity can manifest as ‘needs’ at the most subtle level, which gives it its identity.

Even in the highest of meditative states, where there is only the natural state of the ‘here and beyond’ together, the mind slips easily into the ‘knowing’ of its own awareness, suddenly raising its hood of ego-centricity. The pride of ‘knowing’ swells up, even as the subtlest sense of unending bliss, the one without start or finish, the one without beginning or ending, becomes an awareness as a ‘recognition’, thereby separating the soul from its highest SELF.

Of course, the separation itself is a blessing, for it is the very reason the power and intelligence to recognise the SELF arises. The journey is about how aware we become, that truly, the universe is one, energy is one, happening is one, occurrence is one, the ego itself, is also ONE, across the separation — and therein, it melts away, the identification that separates, drops. Then, there only ‘IS’, without the knowing, without the need to know, least of all the need or control.

KNOWING the truth, may seem wow. But it is truly, the melting away of the KNOWER, with it, the KNOWING as well, that the absolute truth emerges, standing on its own, without any dependence – sovereign, true, solemn, divine, simplest SELF or whatever you may want to call it!

HOW does one arrive into this…. HOW? And then, once we do, THEN WHAT?

HOW?

Well, as many manifestations, those many unique pathways. Chantings, Yoga, meditations, or any others that resonate. Each one, can take you into a centeredness! A state of beyond body, mind, and beyond spirit as well. Every energy has a different pathway. You can ask for guidance — https://tat-tvam-asi.com.au/services/ (Many don’t want to, because everyone is so used to ‘buying’ a short-cut quick-fix, everlasting, effortless solution).

THEN, WHAT?

Well, if its a degree one wants to certify “I KNOW IT” — then one experience is enough. You know it. Now, go the way you wish.

If you want it as a lifelong permanence — then, SIMPLY, continue as it takes you. Become the flow. The ocean can be noisy at the surface. Its the depth, the deepest self, where the noise has disappeared…and then deeper still, where even the ocean doesn’t know itself! It is SIMPLY! How, how long you want to stay there, is up to you. What, staying ‘there’ means, is another question, altogether. Peace and Joy.

In surrender,
