Just as the paths/lineages of yoga and buddhism are many and different, but the self inquiry and self realization is one and same, similarly, there had been, and there are many different individual selfless physical structures (all sentient living organisms, not just limited to human beings) with their own respective individual selfless modification of the mind, that had been or are existing and functioning under many different conditions, qualities, traits, personalities, states, desires, behaviors, actions and reactions, manifested under different time (timing), space (location), and causation (cause and effect), are many and uniquely different from one another, but the selfless consciousness that gives rise to different states of consciousness and conscious awareness to all the countless different individual minds that had ceased existing/functioning and/or are existing/functioning, in NOW, is the one same timeless attributeless selfless consciousness.
There had been, and there are countless individual minds existing and functioning under each of the countless individual physical structures ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away at their own respective cause and pace under different time, space, and causation, while the timeless selfless consciousness that pervades all and everything within and without throughout the infinite space, doesn't come and go, or change.
The selfless existence and function of the many different individual selfless minds are non-independent (depending on the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements to be existing and functioning), impermanent (ceaselessly changing), limited, and conditional.
They are non-self (their impermanent dependent limited and conditional existence and function doesn't even belong to themselves, not to say, all and everything that the minds think and believe that belong to them).
They have a beginning of existence and an end of existence, they are limited and conditioned by time, space, and causation, and it is limited and conditioned by discriminative and assertive or subjective functions/modifications of the limited and conditional perception/cognition/memory/intellect/thinking/feeling/emotion/action and reaction/desire/self-identification or self-acknowledgement (the idea of 'I' or the ego, that gives rise to separateness and egoism, that give rise to all kinds of impurities and restlessness - The veil of ignorance).
The selfless universal consciousness is independent, changeless, unlimited, and unconditional. It is beginningless and endless (unlimited by time or impermanent changes and activities), it is all pervading (unlimited by the limitation of space that exists in all kinds of names and forms), and it is unborn (non-manifested), nameless, formless, attributeless, or substanceless (unlimited by causation - cause and effect).
Just like the infinite space is timeless, attributeless, and unborn/non-manifested, the selfless universal consciousness is infinite, timeless, attributeless, and unborn/non-manifested.
Everything that are manifested in the infinite space under specific qualities of names and forms (matters/molecules/cells/atoms/protons/neutrons/neurons/electrons/elements/light/heat/gas/energy/air/water/minerals/living organisms/objects/planets/stars/suns/galaxies/universe/world/atmospheres/environments/conditions) are all limited and conditioned by time, space, and causation. But the infinite space is untouched, uncontaminated, undamaged, unhurt, or undetermined by all kinds of manifestations that come and go. The space doesn't increase or decrease regardless of all kinds of names and forms arising and passing away.
The selfless universal consciousness is the timeless selfless silent witness towards (the indiscriminate/non-judgmental/non-interfering imprint of) all kinds of selfless manifestations. It is untouched, uncontaminated, undamaged, unhurt, or undetermined by the selfless manifestations of all kinds of names and forms that are limited and conditioned by time, space, and causation, that existed/exist, ceaselessly changing, and had/will be ceased existing, in NOW.
Just as the function of memory itself is uncontaminated or undetermined by the contents of memory, and it is indiscriminate/non-judgmental/non-interference towards the contents of the memory.
The countless different individual selfless minds of the countless different individual physical structures functioning under the many different impermanent qualities/conditions/states/limitations might be pure or impure, might be kind or unkind, might be good or evil, might be constructive or destructive, might be intelligent or non-intelligent, might be knowledgeable or non-knowledgeable, might be enjoying or suffering, and so on, and ceaselessly changing, but the selfless universal consciousness that pervades all kinds of names and forms and gives rise to the different states of consciousness in all minds to be unconscious (complete resting/deep sleep/coma), semi-conscious, and fully conscious towards themselves and the surrounding environment, enabling all the countless different individual minds to perceive/experience/know/think/reason/understand/remember/desire/behave/act/react in their own particular way at their own particular cause and effect (unconsciously/semi-consciously/consciously), is untouched, undetermined, uncontaminated, undamaged, unhurt, or unchanged by all that.
All the countless different individual selfless minds have their own each and particular personal imprint (limited and conditional individual memory storage) of their own particular personal and collective existence/function/impermanent changes/causes and effects/experiences during their limited and conditional momentary existence and function under different time, space, and causation, while the timeless selfless universal consciousness that pervades all and everyone and everything, is the timeless selfless silent witness towards the all time manifestations of all kinds of names and forms ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away, or the all time endless sum total imprints of the all time momentary existence/function/impermanent changes/causes and effects/experiences of all and everyone and everything (all kinds of sentient/non-sentient living beings and non-living objects) in the infinite space.
The selfless universal consciousness is selfless, neither self nor non-self.
It doesn't belong to anyone or anything.
It's not 'my consciousness', 'your consciousness', 'our consciousness', 'their consciousness', 'its consciousness'.
The body is not 'I'. The 'I' is not the body.
The mind is not 'I'. The 'I' is not the mind.
All and everything that are manifesting in the body and mind, are not 'I'.
There is no 'I' in anything (All and everything are selfless).
The 'I' (the ego) is merely an idea or thought that manifests in the mind in a continuous stream of ceaseless ideas/thoughts of 'I' or self acknowledgement/conscious self awareness, ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away, manifesting/transitioning under different states.
The momentary selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of the body and mind and the ideas/thoughts/modifications/the ego/the intellect/the cognition/the memory of the mind, are not 'I'.
All are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, that only existing and functioning/manifesting while ceaselessly changing/decaying/disintegrating under the selfless support/influence of the selfless energy and elements for a momentary limited duration.
The minds are not the selfless universal consciousness. The selfless universal consciousness is not the minds.
Regardless of what or who the minds think and identify as they are and are not, regardless of what the minds think or don't think, believe or disbelieve, behave or don't behave, understand or don't understand, all and everything will change and pass away.
The selfless universal consciousness that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, is always there as it is.
Just by reading or knowing this knowledge doesn't liberate the mind from ignorance and the consequences of ignorance.
Quiet the mind.
Eliminate the idea of 'I' and egoism.
Purify. Meditate.
Inquire the truth of everything.
Attain direct self realization, and be free.
