Selflessness vs egolessness, or the absence of the idea of 'I'

Selflessness - There is no infinite immortal permanent independent individual self existence of 'I' existing in all kinds of names and forms, regardless of sentient and non-sentient living organisms or non-living objects

Egolessness - The absence of the idea of 'I', or 'I'lessness in the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting minds that are selfless

The ego, is merely a selfless idea or thought of 'I', or the non-self, impermanent, limited, and conditional existence of an illusive self identity/self acknowledgement under the idea of 'I' in the form of thinking/thought/idea, existing in the selfless modification of the mind under the presence of the selfless consciousness/awareness, where the selfless mind awareness is being aware of the selfless mind stuff, that gives rise to a self acknowledgement/self identity, acknowledging and identifying with the selfless existence and function of a selfless physical structure that comes with a selfless mechanism of a selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty (the selfless mind stuff), that is selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, as 'I', or 'me', or 'my self'.

 

One doesn't become selfless. All are selfless.

All selfless minds can be functioning under the presence or absence of the ego, or the idea of 'I', and hence, the selfless mind can be egoistic (the presence of 'I'-ness and mine-ness) or non-egoistic (the absence of 'I'-ness and mine-ness).

The selfless mind that is egoistic, as it is functioning under the influence of the presence of the idea of 'I', can eliminate the idea of 'I', or be free from the ego, where the selfless egoistic mind can evolve from egoistic to become non-egoistic by eliminating the idea of 'I' and egoism.

In selflessness, there is no permanent independent infinite immortal I existing in anything or anyone to be eliminated or need to be liberated from suffering or limitation, as it doesn't exist at all. There is no existence of I that can be hurt and limitated.

In egolessness, there is the absence of the idea of 'I' in the mind, where there is the existence of an idea of 'I' that can be and need to be eliminated from the selfless modification of the mind. The ego can be hurt and limited, that need to be liberated from suffering or limitation.

Selflessness, is the truth of all and everything, where there is not a permanent independent infinite immortal individual self existence or self identity (the infinite immortal existence of I) existing in the momentary mortal existence and function of all kinds of impermanent limited and conditional names and forms that are Non-self, that don't belong to anyone or anything, that don't even belong to the names and forms themselves,

is different from 

Egolessness, the absence of a finite, impermanent, limited, and conditional existence of the ego (the finite fleeting idea of 'I') in the selfless modification of the mind, that is not the selfless body, not the selfless mind, not the selfless consciousness, not any of the selfless elements, not the selfless energy, and so on, that is merely part of the selfless thinking, or selfless thought activities, or selfless mind stuff that ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away in the selfless modification of the mind as what it is, under the selfless manifestation of countless impermanent non-independent finite fleeting ideas/thoughts of 'I' that don't even belong to each idea/thought of 'I' itself, that appears to be the seemingly ONE same continuous self identity/self acknowledgement that ONLY exists in the form of a continuous stream of ceaseless thoughts/ideas/thinking being perceived and validated by the selfless thinking and acting faculty of the selfless physical body under the presence of consciousness/awareness,

where there is the selfless conscious awareness in the selfless thinking and acting faculty being aware of a continuous stream of countless thoughts/ideas of 'I', of self acknowledgement manifesting under different impermanent forms, or qualities, or conditions, ceaselessly arising (birth), changing (impermanence), and passing away (death) under the different impermanent states/modifications of mind (manifesting/undergoing/changing/transitioning/arising and passing away in different realms/states of mind that are impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self that is all happening in the mind) in NOW, that is powered and sustained by the availability of the selfless support of the selfless energy and all kinds of selfless elements (limited, conditional, and non-self),

that gives rise to and fed by egoism, of the endless accumulation of multiple egoistic attachments and identifications towards family ties and connections and relationships, duties and responsibilities, possessions and belongings, learning, knowledge, understanding, skills, interests, belief/disbelief, values, practices, comparisons, judgments, and expectations, agreements and disagreements, likes and dislikes, desires and don't desires, pleasant and unpleasant experiences and interactions, and all kinds of actions/reactions/sensations/feelings/emotions/consequences of actions and reactions, that give rise to all kinds of impurities and restlessness, that empowers the veil of ignorance,

where all that are existing and can only be possible under the selfless existence and function of memory and memory storage for the selfless thinking faculty to be remembering/recollecting all that, being part of the different selfless functions/mechanisms of the thinking faculty and the restless mind stuff/modifications of the mind/thought activities that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self,

that cannot or doesn't exist if without the selfless support of the selfless energy and the many different kinds of selfless elements/systems/components that all work together and inter-supporting one another to be forming and enabling the momentary impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of all kinds of names and forms to be what they are, as they are, ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away upon the selfless universal consciousness that pervades the infinite space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, not even belong to the all pervading selfless universal consciousness.

Out of ignorance, the continuous stream of countless thoughts/ideas of 'I', or the ego, that can only exist in NOW in the form of thinking in the selfless modification of the selfless mind, identifies itself with the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of the selfless body and mind that doesn't even belong to the selfless body and mind itself as 'I', as well as claims possession/ownership towards the selfless body and mind that doesn't belong to anyone or anything as 'my body' and 'my mind', as well as claim possession towards all and everything that don't belong to anyone or anything as 'my energy', 'my thinking', 'my belief', 'my values', 'my feelings', 'my emotions', 'my life existence', 'my knowledge', 'my intellect', 'my memory', 'my desires', 'my effort', 'my fruit of effort', 'my ancestors', 'my family', 'my relationship', 'my community', 'my birth place', 'my land', 'my space', 'my country', 'my culture', 'my spirituality', 'my purpose and contribution', 'my abilities and disabilities', 'my qualifications and experiences', 'my achievement and accomplishment', 'my pride', 'my regrets', 'my shame', 'my good', 'my bad', and so on.

Under the influence of the idea of 'I' and egoism in the modification of the mind, the selfless impermanent limited and conditional perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty that is conscious/aware of this and that, and remembers/recollects towards this and that under the selfless function/mechanism of the memory and memory storage proudly identifies itself as, "I am the body and mind. The body and mind is I," and also claims possession/ownership towards, "The body and mind belongs to I. The body and mind is mine," as well as under the sense of belonging, "I belong to this family, this culture, this spirituality, this belief, this community, this country, this land, and this space," as well as claims possession/ownership towards, "All these belong to I. These are my family, my culture, my spirituality, my belief, my community, my country, my land, and my space."

Where in truth, none and nothing belong to anyone or anything, and vice versa.

If without the availability of the selfless support from the selfless energy and the different selfless elements that work together and inter-supporting one another that enables and sustains the selfless manifestation of the selfless existence and function of all the countless different selfless cells/atoms/neurons/neutrons/protons that all work together and inter-supporting one another that enables and sustains the different selfless existences/functions/mechanisms/systems/components of the selfless body and mind that all work together and inter-supporting one another to be existing and functioning as what they are, and if without the selfless universal consciousness that enabling the mind to be conscious/aware of this and that, to be consciously perceiving, experiencing, knowing, learning, and remembering this and that, what are all those mind stuff, of thinking, self acknowledgement, perceptions, experiences, intelligence, knowledge, feelings, emotions, attachments, identifications, desires, possessions, and the sense of belonging/ownership towards all those names and forms?

 

All are selfless, where there is no infinite I in all and everything (sentient and non-sentient/conscious and unconscious living organisms or non-living objects), while there is only the finite illusive ego, or the impermanent fleeting idea of 'I', or 'self identity', or 'self acknowledgement' in the form of thinking/thought/idea, that ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away in the selfless impermanent limited and conditional modification of the mind that is existing and functioning selflessly and impermanently under the different selfless functions/mechanisms of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty of the selfless impermanent physical structure of the sentient conscious living organisms.

All are selfless, however, the selfless minds can be functioning under the presence or the absence of the ego, or the idea of 'I', that is impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, that gives rise to and fed by egoism of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation, that give rise to and fed by all kinds of impurities, qualities, and dualities, that give rise to and fed by restlessness of thought activities/thought current that manifesting the different realms/states of mind, that give rise to and fed by ignorance, that gives rise to and fed by the ego, or the idea of 'I' - The seemingly infinite loop of chain of the veil of ignorance (endless restlessness, or impurities, or ideas of 'I', or contamination, or corruption) that hinders the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting conscious mind to perceive/know/see all and everything of all kinds of names and forms, of the objects of awareness/perception/knowing/the senses, as they are.

 

Ignorance is merely part of the selfless natural manifestations that are impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self of the selfless impermanent mind stuff manifesting in the selfless impermanent restless modification of the mind, that is powered and supported by the selfless energy and the many different selfless elements/systems/components that enabling the selfless existence and function of all and everything to be what they are.

Ignorance is neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong, even if it brings along many by-products that bring along many unnecessary hurtful destructive consequences or evitable suffering unto the selfless mind itself and other minds and the surrounding environment.

The good news is that, like all and everything in this world of selfless impermanent names and forms that are limited, conditional, and non-self, ignorance is also impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

It is not infinite.

It is not permanent. 

It doesn't stay unchanged.

It doesn't belong to the selfless impermanent limited and conditional mind stuff, even if it exists because of the mind stuff, or it comes from the selfless mind stuff, or it is part of the selfless mind stuff.

Without the restless mind stuff, there is no ignorance.

Ignorance can be weakened, thinned-out, and even be eliminated completely, if persisted under great determination and perseverance, under correct attitude and method.

Ignorance didn't and doesn't come from 'Initial sin', or 'Initial downfall', or 'The boundless and endless bad karma accumulated from countless previous different life existences/forms' as many minds would believe and propagate in such way.

The moment the selfless mind stuff is being activated in the selfless physical structure upon coming into a selfless existence and function as what it is, or upon the beginning of thinking, or thought process, or thought activities that exist being part of the selfless manifestations deriving from the selfless mechanisms of the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty under the presence of selfless consciousness/awareness, the veil of ignorance manifests as it is, naturally, where there is the natural manifestation of an illusive self identity or self acknowledgement of the idea of 'I', that gives rise to and fed by egoism, that gives rise to and fed by all kinds of desires and impurities, that empowers and powered by restlessness or restless thought activities, that gives rise to the veil of ignorance, that hinders the mind to perceive/see/know/reason/understand all and everything as they are, that also empowers the illusive existence of a 'permanent individual self existence that doesn't exist' under the presence of the idea of 'I' that ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away (Ceaseless births and deaths of countless ideas of 'I' manifesting one after another under different forms, or qualities, or conditions, transitioning in different realms/states of mind in NOW, within the selfless impermanent restless modification of the mind), that keeps empowering egoism and impurities and restlessness, that keeps empowering ignorance, that keeps empowering the idea of 'I', in a seemingly beginningless and endless infinite loop.

Upon the annihilation of the idea of 'I', upon Silence of the selfless mind stuff or thought activities, who or what is undergoing "Ceaseless and endless wheel of births and deaths, or the infinite loop of reincarnations, to be reincarnating into ceaseless and countless past/present/future life existences under different forms/qualities/conditions transitioning in different realms or spheres in accordance to the past accumulated boundless 'good/bad/neither good nor bad/both good and bad' karma"?

Upon the annihilation of the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind may or may not make good use of the selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self momentary worldly life existence of a selfless body and mind, to be benefiting all and everyone, unconditionally and indiscriminately, under the absence of the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, under the presence of clarity, or peace, or wisdom, or correct understanding.

Inquire towards the truth of everything.

Attain direct self realization towards the truth of everything.

"Annihilate the restless mind stuff. Silent the restless thought current. Purify. Meditate. Inquire. Realize. The endless loop of the wheel of ceaseless births and deaths ceased existing and the world of manifestation doesn't exist in STILLNESS." - The teachings from all gurus and buddhas
