Deep dives

The Illusion of Self

Enlightenment is about recognizing the illusion of self, the belief that the entity experiencing life is real. This illusion is the root cause of neuroses, fears, frustrations, and problems in relationships. The objective of spiritual alignment is to undertake an empirical investigation, using firsthand experience to discover the truth that there is no self. This truth is not a philosophy, theory, or belief, but an experiential reality that can be accessed only by being present in the moment and allowing oneself to exist without attachment to possessions, social roles, emotions, thoughts, or beliefs.
