Awakening cannot be taught or explained by words or concepts. As soon as the mind attempts to rationalize, conceptualize, quantify or qualify the experience of awakening, the contemplative mind takes back everything it has affirmed. This is because the mind is inherently dualistic, and the real within in us just “is”. It isn’t this or that. Dualism ceases to exist. It cannot be explained because it is outside of the parameters of  language, which is at its core dualistic. Language separates certain things from other things in order for the dualistic human mind to understand. This doesn’t mean language is a problem, instead it implies that we need to be aware of the limitations of language and the egoic mind. Elevating to one’s true self isn’t about self hypnosis but simply about seeing past the illusion of our false selves. It involves learning to be, rather than constantly being distracted by our minds. Awakening isn’t about adding something more to yourself, it is about uncovering the illusion of the self. When your consciousness identifies with the mind, or ego construct , it ties you to social conditioning, which you could call the matrix.

Our true self is always here, within us. Waiting for us. Totally forgiving even though we constantly neglect it. No matter what we do, it is patiently waiting. Samadhi is awakening from your character in the game of life.
