Stop Believing You’re Human
What you are is beyond language. Beyond conception. Beyond grasping.
Most people, deep down, are too broken to truly follow the highway to enlightenment. In my case, sometimes it feels like what I’m really concerned with is simply healing.
I’ve taken course after course and sought therapists and teachers, to no avail. It always felt like I was chasing conditioned solutions to conditioned problems. To put it simply, chasing samsara to heal samsara.
But one day it occurred to me: what if there was an ultimate solution? All my miseries would evaporate.
Like realizing it’s been a dream all along — that it was a dream right from the beginning.
This solution has been easy to wield throughout history as a ‘spiritual bypass.’ Plenty of people right now cling to the idea that they’re already enlightened and blissed out in unconditional love. Meanwhile, they’re too chicken sh*t to face the suffering in the world enough to actually be of help.
But for the rare seekers who actually put in the work, long term, to truly be able to wield ultimate truth teachings, it pays off multitudes more than any Band-aid solution. Because it fixes the root of the entire ordeal.
