The essentials for self-inquiry and self-realization

Whatever the mind perceives/experiences/thinks/believes/identifies with, are all merely part of the modifications of the selfless impermanent mind itself.

All forms of 'spiritual/non-spiritual, pure/impure, infinite/finite existence or identity' are nothing but the projections/creations of the selfless impermanent mind itself, during its momentary selfless existence in this space, that (only) exists and functions selflessly and impermanently in NOW, under the selfless support and influence of the selfless energy and elements.

Upon the annihilation of the selfless impermanent modification of the mind/The absence of the idea of 'I' or the ego/The absence of thinking or thought process/Resting in Stillness or Silence, there is no finite or infinite 'I' existing, there is no "I am/I perceive/I experience/I know/I realize/I believe/I think/I see/I hear/I smell/I taste/I feel/I act/I enjoy/I suffer/I give/I receive, and vice versa," there is no whatever 'I' think and believe is "what I (really) am," not to say, "I am the eternal infinite absolute perfect and pure 'this or that'."

There are many "ideas", "beliefs", "values", "practices", "inspirations", "aspirations", "visions", and "various forms of empowerment", created by/deriving from the worldly passionate egoistic minds functioned/functioning under the influence of ignorance and egoism, influencing and conditioning the mind to think and believe and behave in certain way, that hinder the mind from self-inquiry and self-realization.

That's why the observation of dispassion, renunciation, seclusion, solitude, silence, and desirelessness, are highly important for the minds that sincerely want to be free from ignorance and the consequences of ignorance, during its momentary selfless existence, to be resting in peace, or to stop hurting itself and others in this space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.
