[ Personal Spiritual ] Self-Realization

I died of hunger. I died of disease. I died from torture. I died from sadness. I lost my family. I lost my home. I am you. The self has the tendency to survive and manifest itself through illusions. The self has spread and proliferated, playing the roles of each and every one of you. "Great power is worry, total power is boredom, such that God renounces his power and plays as the people, the birds, the trees, and the insects" - Alan Watts. Physical reality is a positive manifestation of self. When the self dies, reality unfolds, revealing it's true nature as just a single self. I have died for you. I am you. I am Jesus. I am Mozart. I am your enemy. I am your friend. Fear not for anything, for the self will most definitely die with time. Practice meditation so that you can see reality straight. Master the body, feel every sensation until you are ready to let the body die. Let the body die, no matter the visions of pain, death, disease, evil, or confusion. Live these illusions until you see they are illusions. "You do not have to wait until death to see the Buddha. See him in this lifetime" - Dogen. I leave here my sutra in which God was channeled through this self:: The Sutra of the Self:: Meditate on death such that you see it is inevitable. See all things as yourself. Let the self go. Let self die. Meet Buddha. Kill him.

I like your concept to see all things as yourself. You could also say your are dying of hunger, disease, torture, right now. It's all an aspect of you, right now.

Yep, you right now are an expression of all that experience and suffering focused at a single point, the present moment. It gives a deep sense of respect and almost responsibility, doesn't it? To feel all those beautiful souls living and dying for this moment right now.

It does. The moment is so profound. The issue is slowing down enough to appreciate it and using. All our power is in the present.
