Hello everyone
I share here my feelings, my experience... (translated from French by an automatic translator)
First part :
The purpose of a text like this is to arouse the desire for spiritual realization, for awakening. But also to invite all those who have experienced what can be called "the revelation of a level of themselves that goes beyond them as an individual" (experienced the revelation of the SELF), to continue the path of integration…
When the consciousness of awakening reveals itself, which sometimes happens after a long journey, and sometimes also in a totally unexpected way. We then say to ourselves “I am awake”.
But at this stage the waking consciousness (the SELF) reveals itself to that which is individuality « the non-SELF ».
So at this level of integration there is the SELF (which is revealed) and what could be called "the non-Self", that is to say the structure (the individual) to which it reveals itself. .
Going beyond this level and thus continuing to evolve, can only be done through the acceptance in oneself of what constitutes the individual consciousness, the limitations (of what may seem "small in itself"), and this until that these show their true nature (which ultimately turns out to be nothing but the SELF).
Because the non-acceptance, the refusal to recognize what is present in oneself as a "limit", brings (or maintains) the withdrawal of the individual consciousness on itself (the closure), and thus causes a kind of inner rigidity , a hardness, which maintains the separation between « the SELF » and « the non-SELF ».
This transition which makes it possible to overcome this duality (the SELF and the non-SELF) is managed by the force of the living (by the intelligence of life), and not by the individual structure. All that one can do as an individual (as a limited consciousness) is to "orient oneself towards..." Moreover, this transition can only be done in a progressive way, because it requires an adaptation of the physiological structure, of the nervous system. In other words, physiology must gradually integrate an ever higher degree of purity.
Understanding and above all becoming aware of this last point makes it possible to “not demand”, not to expect anything in terms of results, to remain in “letting go”.
This awareness (which alone can give certainty), can only come for each person from direct experience, that is to say through "contact" with the SELF, hence the importance of allow time for silence (meditation). Because it is the SELF that conveys information, knowledge.
The times of “silence” are in a way “the key”, because it is also the SELF which shows that all that rises in oneself (emotions…) is nothing other than Self. Thus, he loosens the bonds.
For some who have adopted a purely devotional approach, acceptance translates into abandonment to God or to a Master or to a divinity (which amounts to the same thing), which is perhaps an easier path.
Even if we consider ourselves to be “awakened”, and that we have experienced tremendous interior openings, we can easily allow ourselves to be re-enclosed (for a long time) by an individual structure. At this stage too, everything will be a matter of choice. That is, as long as our preference is to maintain the individual structure itself, it will be maintained in most cases.
This, because man has free will.
