How can such a life be lived?

A number of people have questioned me about living a life that is a negation of the self. They want to know how it is possible to live a life that is without the self? How does one live without making choices and arriving at conclusions that seem necessary for day to day living? It is simple, first of all you will only ask these questions if you have not realized. Because the mind is seeking to know, to have an understanding that is the result of the projection of memory as cause and effect, one is caught in the duality of having or not having something. It has its origin deep within ones conditioned consciousness. Consciousness that is seeking results within the logic of thought. It may seem that one is really avoiding the question. But it must be realized that to seek out a defined systematic approach to understanding is to avoid the reality of what is. The reality is that the self continues as it always has. The self does not change. Nothing replaces the self, there is no secret formula. There is only the passion to realize an understanding that transcends the self. That understanding is a creation process. It is the simultaneous death and birth of the true self from moment to moment. That is, one has understanding that is not of time, it is not a movement, but rather an illumination that is an entirely new direction. A direction that is not born of conditioned thought, but that which is the outcome of the unconditioned which is not a repetition of the known. It is the never before and the never will be again.

So one uses the self, which is the mechanism of thought that is the result of our survival instinct, as a natural process of life. It is not something to be overcome it is simply something to be understood. When that understanding is on the very deepest level of human consciousness then something quite amazing happens. One transcends the duality of that very consciousness. Then every moment reveals the true self, that which is beyond thought as time/space. All attachment and identity falls away. One is experiencing freedom the outcome of which is clarity and insight into the moment. Ones action is then totally out of character because it is not the result of what has gone on before. It is totally new and only in the moment. One is timelessly aware from moment to moment. It is the meditation of the selfless.

A question requires a formulated answer. As long as one questions one is escaping the truth of the moment. The formulated only creates more questions. Have the realization that there are no answers, there is only the self that is seeking attachment and identity. The question and the answer are one in the same...the self that is seeking the image of self.
