With no self

Posted on by philipdodson

With no self, there is nothing to fear, there is no calamity, no worry, no pain.

Self is a creation of the mind and is not from our soul. It is a collection of mental forms, labels, memories wrapped in fragile tissue paper in our mind, it’s what we falsely identify as ourselves.

It is a delicate thing easily injured or hurt and if we identify with our self, then we suffer the hurt and injury both mentally and physically.

It is self that causes suffering within and without. The collective suffering is the collective self.

The state of pure conscious being is free from self. Our essence is not driven by a story of ‘me’.

Our soul is hidden from us by identifying with self.

With no self comes liberation, freedom, life, joy, love and the power of creation and the universe.

Amazing

It’s amazing how much we don’t do in our life that deep within we instinctively want to do.

It’s simply because we identify with the mind-created self-image, the stories and roles that represent our ego, and therefore the mind decides that things don’t fit our story or image. Perhaps the mind decides we’re too superior for that or often not good enough.

Imagine if we stayed conscious and stopped listening to the story, just allowing the instinct from within our essence to guide us. Just the simple joy of doing and not thinking if it’s ok with our ‘story’.
