Dissolving Into Awareness: Beyond the 'I' on the Spiritual Path

Send us a text The spiritual journey's greatest obstacle is our own identification with a separate self that's seeking enlightenment.

The spiritual journey's greatest obstacle is our own identification with a separate self that's seeking enlightenment. True seeking means recognizing that what we're looking for is already within us - there has only ever been the Self.
• The journey is circular, bringing us back to what was always present but overlooked
• Self-realization isn't something to be attained but the understanding that only the Self exists
• Body, mind, name and form are merely narratives playing out within awareness
• Happiness arises naturally when we dissolve our identification with a separate self
• Living as the formless means operating from the understanding that you are not the doer
• Even the desire for enlightenment can delay the recognition of what you already are
• True surrender isn't an action but a relaxation into what is already present
• The humility of considering oneself a perpetual seeker remains vital even after profound realizations
• Pure consciousness wouldn't declare itself "enlightened" - that comes from the separate self
• By dissolving all concepts and identifications, we discover our natural state of bliss and contentment
