From the heart, employing silence, there is for this being the motivation to create. Universes exist yet to be explored.

@ Saint Jzearuth ~ Simply stated, if there be an identity, even formless, say as in a oneness void experience, it is not the Self.
We cannot search for or attain Self, already being it. The Self shines forth automatically when identity drops.

There is by the time of the Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra a history of the Buddha claiming that there is no self, & in the Mahaparinirvana Sutra he claimed that that was to abolish pride, but that after even pride has been abolished there is a Buddha self
identity survives on the food source of pride. identity has not utterly dropped until there is no pride

What a question. I think it would have to be answered with more than one thing.
I have my own opinion for me. :)
Hmm, you have all sentient life - then you have us - humans, the crown of creation.
Again, what a question for someone to ponder.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

The recognition of self requires disappearance of identity, which just drops
away of its own accord (identity cannot by itself drop identity).
It is a completion, in that nothing need be done, we are, as we are, in our
pristine element, as luminous awareness in a bliss that is peace.

Wow. Well said.

Thank you, Miss H!
So what’s next? Nisargadatta Maharaj says somewhere in his epic book, ‘I Am That’ … having realised Self, we next need to hold this recognition of Self, which we are, in active awareness, 24x7 or words to that effect.
Master KH said something similar in his treatise on the human aura or perhaps in another book.

Have found this thread very interesting indeed, but the opening line is that of becoming no thing, to me the answer is that I am already no thing and have been eternally so, what I am presented here as is some-thing, and now this some thing seems to be trying to be no thing, by doing things like meditation when all I need is to be the SELF which in NO THING.
regards michael.
