Many seekers of enlightenment expect a supreme spiritual experience that will eventually lead them to it and do not take responsibility for their own emancipation or liberation. This search for a final liberating experience only leads to unbridled spiritual consumerism in which many go from one teacher to another or from one technique to another, from one course to another without realizing the essence of the practice itself. spiritual thinking that perhaps enlightenment is like going to a store to buy clothes or food being fooled by an idea about how it should be the same. And although yes, many people have very beautiful spiritual experiences (including myself) because in many cases these experiences do not lead to enlightenment.
Many on this path are often confused and deceived by the power of an attractive personality or false feelings of security that lead to further heightened ego awareness as they talk about how awake they are and how their experience was so much more true and revealing. than another, but this alone is usually one more illusion of the mind and ego, of the desire to feel special. The ego, our ego is fascinated by the blows of self-esteem, feeling that it is the next prophet or Buddha getting a particular idea of it.

As it turns out, freedom doesn't necessarily have to be a magical or exciting experience, it's just free. In fact, very calm and quiet. Of course, at times it can be full of amazement or joy but also sadness and even annoyance, but in most cases it is not what we imagine, it is not what you imagine. Most of the time we can only become spiritual loving beings, but do we want to be truly free? Do you want to be truly free? To be free we have to want from the bottom of our heart to know the truth even much more than we want to feel good because if we set a goal to feel good as soon as we achieve that, the interest in the truth will disappear, although this does not mean that Feeling happy and experiencing love is bad but it turns out that the truth, the true is found in everything, even in what is not perceived as happiness.
Simply, if our desire to feel good is much greater than the desire to know the true, then this desire will always be found hiding or clouding the perception of the real, corrupting our inside.
Many of us want to know the truth until we realize that it will strip us of our deepest ideas and beliefs, of our goals, of our dreams. And this does not mean that we stop pursuing them, but without a doubt it does change the perception of them and the intention by which we lead ourselves towards them, because they are no longer a goal to reach to bring us happiness, they no longer have importance in themselves. themselves because it is indifferent to reach them or not but to enjoy the journey. Many of us are not prepared for it, many are not prepared for it. The freedom that enlightenment offers you is usually much more than the experience of love and union with everything, it means discovering something that will turn your life around and this for those who are not prepared can be terrifying. And my intention is not to scare but when are you really ready? When you want to be totally consumed, consumed by endless space.

So do you want to know the truth or continue to be a self-righteous ego? He who is prepared is willing to open up the grace and purity of humility, in reality enlightenment does not make you special, if you feel special you will only be trapped in one of the extremes of the ego. In my experience the path to enlightenment has allowed me to discover my nobodyness, opening the door to my awakening as a conscious being.
In reality, the path to awakening is not special, instead of making yourself special you will realize that it places you in the right place and on a par with any other human being, making you less special or just as special as others. But now, in my experience, the beginning of this path led me to understand and experience the idea about the ego and consciousness and if you are interested in traveling through it, you will surely ask yourself: What is the ego?
Well, the ego is the movement of the mind towards objects, things, people expressed as attachment or rejection, that is the ego, right? That idea of attachment or rejection is what gives the idea of separation from others, fundamentally it is offered by the mind and it develops more or less after 2 years of age because when we are born we are not able to distinguish between what we observe and us, between our mother and us and that is why babies are the purest example of innocence and egolessness.

Well, it is that feeling of separation that surrounds our consciousness in continuous suffering and the search for identification. Who suffers? The self suffers! The idea of me separated from everything else suffers, that is what suffers and we suffer constantly in life and we constantly feel miserable because life is hard.
But, this is nothing more than a sensation, because the I, the I of the mind doesn't exist. But it is important to perceive it because it is what leads us to our awakening, it is our guide on this path and it is essential for this life, for human life. Therefore, let's not try to change it, let's not make an effort to want to wake up from the ego's dream because that only leads us to suffer more, the essential thing is to accept it, accept that it is so, feel it and live it. Look at the dream, be aware of it and be much more interested in being aware of the dream than in the dream itself, do not take it seriously. What is that? What is that consciousness? Be the consciousness of the dream.

This path implies the end of identifying ourselves with the ego and its dream, that does not mean that it will disappear because as long as we live it will exist but our identification with it will disappear and we will begin to play with it, experiment with it and live a full life. of joy, because we will know that everything that our mind tells us is a lie, it is a game.
Non-duality means that our interior and what we express externally is one, they are one and the same thing and with this consciousness we can experience it. Non-duality implies that our mind no longer leads us but our deepest inner being and understanding this is the essence. When you understand it, you even stop calling yourself a "spiritual being" because you know that it is limiting yourself and non-duality implies infinity, without limitation. To be everything and nothing at the same time.
With the arrival of this consciousness, an impersonal love and wisdom are born that does not pay attention to people's experience, awakening from it is deep and transformative, it is a path that never ends but constantly dances in the void.

Thank you, dear!
I have come across a few people who are always looking for someone to heal them, and never get there because the healing has to come from within. It is hard work and it is painful, but it is so liberating once you surrender to who you are and embrace it all. Thank you for sharing your very wise words with us @gabrielaflores xxx
