Inquire towards the selfless conscious awareness

All are selfless.

The mind stuff, is selfless. 

The thinking faculty, or the function of the conscious perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind, is selfless.

The modification of the mind, or the thought process/activity, is selfless.

All the different selfless mechanisms that enabling the selfless thinking faculty, or the selfless mind to be existing and functioning as what it is, that consists of the conscious awareness, the senses and the organs of the senses, the perception, the cognition/the accumulated knowledge/the memory storage, the intellect/the reasoning/the discrimination/the understanding, the feelings and emotions, the sensations, the thinking, and the conscious/semi-conscious/unconscious desires/urges/actions and reactions, including the idea of 'I' (the ego), or the self awareness/acknowledgement, as well as the selfless supportive energy and elements that enables all cells/organs/systems/functions/mechanisms to be functioning as what they are, are all selfless.

The presence and absence of conscious awareness that enables the mind to be aware (conscious) or semi-aware (semi-conscious) or unaware (unconscious) of the objects of awareness, or the existence and function of itself, the modification of the mind, the physical structure, and the surrounding environment, is also selfless. It can be present or absent, or it comes and goes, depending on the different states of consciousness that is impermanent.

The selfless universal consciousness that is always there as it is, that doesn't come or go, that doesn't change, that pervades all and everything within and without, that gives rise to the different impermanent states of consciousness/awareness to the selfless minds - Complete absence of consciousness/awareness (state of unconscious/deep sleep/coma), partial absence/presence of consciousness/awareness (state of semi-conscious/semi-sleep/semi-awake/dreaming), and complete presence of consciousness/awareness (state of fully conscious/aware/awake), is also selfless.

The selfless mind stuff, or the different selfless mechanisms of the mind (the different tools that are needed to be making the movies, the movies projector, and the projector screen for screening/reflecting/hosting the movies) and the selfless states/modifications/thought activities of the mind (the movies), is neither pure nor impure, while the contents of the modification of the mind, or the thought process/activities in the many different minds (the different contents of the many different movies produced by the many different movies makers), that consists of many different way of thinking, belief/disbelief, values, practices, thoughts, ideas, sensations, feelings and emotions, desires, actions and reactions, even though they are just what they are, neither pure nor impure, but they can be conditioning and influencing the selfless mechanisms of perception, cognition, intellect, reasoning, understanding, aspiration, behavior, action, and reaction in certain way or not in certain way, that appeared to be destructive or constructive, that can give rise to destructive or constructive consequences unto oneself, others, and the surrounding environment.

Just like the selfless universal consciousness is untouched, unchanged, undetermined, undamaged, or uncontaminated by the selfless impermanent manifestations of all kinds of names and forms manifesting under different qualities/conditions/time, space, and causation/impermanent changes upon itself, the selfless conscious awareness is also untouched, unchanged, undetermined, undamaged, or uncontaminated by the objects of awareness.

There might be pure or impure/pleasant or unpleasant/positive or negative/constructive or destructive thoughts, ideas, beliefs, values, practices, desires, aspirations, sensations, feelings and emotions, behaviors, actions and reactions, ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away in the selfless modifications of the mind governed by the nature's law of cause and effect, but the selfless impermanent conscious awareness that can be presence or absence depending on the different states of consciousness, is untouched, unchanged, undetermined, undamaged, or uncontaminated by all that.

The mind might be in a state of purity (clarity) or impurity (murky), happiness or unhappiness, positiveness or negativeness, constructiveness or destructiveness, but the selfless conscious awareness doesn't become pure or impure, happy or unhappy, positive or negative, constructive or destructive.

The practice of concentration and/or meditation is about strengthening and sharpening the power of awareness by gathering the dissipated wavering awareness to be focusing at one particular point of focus or at one particular object of awareness (particularly focusing within towards what is happening in the body and mind in NOW, towards the breathing, or sensations, or thoughts, or feelings and emotions, that enables the mind to see the truth of impermanence and selflessness directly as it is), devoid of the idea of 'I' and egoism of attachment, identification, association, craving, aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation.

During and after the prolonged process of the practice of gathering the dissipated awareness at one single object of awareness, or keeping the attention or the focus at one point of focus, the strength and sharpness of the conscious awareness will increase, just as the power or efficiency of the eyesight or hearing, or the power of intellectual learning, reasoning, and understanding, or the power of memory, can be declining or improving under different influential condition.

The strengthened and sharpened conscious awareness can even maintain fully presence during the semi-conscious state, or the sleep state, or the dream state, or even in the unconscious/deep sleep/coma state. Such as, certain minds can be aware of and remember clearly towards the dreams (vivid dreams) or even the unconscious perception of names and forms (the unconscious autonomous thought process/perception of names and forms) during the state of unconsciousness, or deep sleep, or coma.

The mind that was in the state of unconsciousness/deep sleep/complete resting/coma wasn't consciously aware of itself and the surrounding environment during the state of complete absence of conscious awareness, being unaware of itself (the absence of the idea of 'I' (the ego), or self acknowledgement/awareness - the reflection of Selflessness) and its selfless impermanent autonomous modification of the mind, or the different autonomous bodily functions, or the surrounding environment, however, there are some minds don't even consciously know/aware of what was happening during the state of unconsciousness under the absence of conscious awareness, and they don't know why, but they come back into the state of consciousness (waking up) remembering partially/mostly/fully not only the accumulated conscious memory/imprints of before they went into the state of sleep/dream/deep sleep (the self acknowledgement/awareness of a particular self identity under a specific accumulated memory/imprints), but also the ceaseless autonomous memory/imprints of the ceaseless unconscious autonomous physical and mental activities during the state of unconsciousness/deep sleep/coma, due to the selfless universal consciousness (the timeless changeless silent witness) that pervades all and everything, is always there as it is, beyond the three states of consciousness in all minds, that doesn't come and go, even though the conscious awareness can be presence or absence depending on the different states of consciousness, that is highly important and inevitable for all kinds of sentient and non-sentient living organisms to be interchanging between conscious activities and complete rest from conscious activities even though there are still some essential continuous autonomous physical/mental activities ceaselessly happening for life maintenance under the momentary state of unconsciousness/deep sleep/coma.

Similarly, there are minds that have very little or even no awareness towards themselves, of what is going on in the body and mind, or towards the surrounding environment, even under the state of wakefulness. Or, when the mind is fully focusing on reading a book, or watching a movie, or it goes into a deep contemplation (state of meditation), it has no awareness towards certain bodily sensations or certain noise/sound/smell/talking/movement/activity in the surrounding environment (being momentarily cut-off from the conscious perception of names and forms via the senses and sense organs, even though the unconscious autonomous imprints of everything is still there as it is).

All these are neither good nor bad. The most important thing is about the absence of grasping, or attachment/association/identification/craving/aversion/comparison/judgment/expectation under the presence of conscious awareness towards anything and everything (the selfless impermanent modifications/states/thought activities of the mind, or the objects of awareness/perception/knowing/experience).

All kinds of physical and mental yoga and/or buddhism practices are merely about the thinning-out of the degrees of grasping that leads to the complete annihilation of grasping (the thinning-out of the idea of 'I' and egoism, that also lead to the thinning-out of impurities and restlessness).

The prolonged practice of concentration and meditation under the presence of non-grasping (the absence of grasping), will eventually lead towards the process of self-inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of things as it is, where the mind perceives the perceived names and forms as they are, or is aware of the objects of awareness as they are, under the absence of the subjective thinking/reasoning/judgment under the influence of any particular worldly passionate egoistic impure desires/ideas/beliefs/values/practices (under a one pointed quiet thoughtless desireless peaceful state of mind).

The minds that have no correct understanding towards the selfless modification of the mind, are unwittingly or ignorantly being the slave of all that, where there is the idea of 'I (the ego) and egoism of grasping, or attachment, identification, association, craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation being generated towards all those selfless manifestations of perceived names and forms/thoughts/sensations/feelings/emotions/memories/imaginations/dreams/urges/inspirations/aspirations, that lead to ceaseless and restless ideas/desires/actions/reactions/behaviors (the presence of restlessness and all kinds of impurities - The formation of the veil of ignorance).

The minds that have correct understanding towards all that, they are resting upon the unchanging timeless attributeless selfless universal consciousness, having the selfless conscious awareness being aware of all that, while being undetermined or undisturbed by all that - devoid of the idea of 'I' (the ego), or egoism of grasping, or attachment, identification, association, craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation, allowing all the selfless manifestations of perceived names and forms, thoughts, dreams, memories, imaginations, ideas, desires, sensations, feelings, and emotions, being there as they are, allowing them to be arising, changing, and passing away, governed by the nature's law of cause and effect, without being influenced or determined by all that to be acting or reacting that are unnecessary, apart from attending the inevitable essential needs/activities for life maintenance.

The minds that are practicing yoga and/or buddhism and meditation, is all about non-grasping, or the absence of grasping, where the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind that is being conscious towards the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of itself and the selfless impermanent modification of the mind under the presence of the selfless impermanent conscious awareness, is aware of all those selfless manifestations of names and forms or the thought process/activities/ideas/sensations/feelings/emotions/memories/imaginations, but devoid of the idea of 'I' and egoism of attachment/grasping, identification, association, craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation towards all that.

Non-grasping doesn't exist or is invalid in oneness/non-duality/non-separateness, upon the selfless mind attains direct self realization towards the truth of selflessness.

Non-grasping/non-attachment/non-identification/non-craving/non-aversion/non-comparison/non-judgment/non-expectation don't exist in the timeless attributeless selfless universal consciousness, or upon the mind attains direct self realization towards the truth of selflessness (the absence of the idea of 'I'/the ego).

Meanwhile, the selfless mechanisms of the mind is not the contents of the selfless modifications of the mind.

The conscious mind awareness is merely existing and being what it is along with the selfless existence and function of the different selfless mechanisms of the body and mind.

Under the presence of conscious awareness, the conscious mind is aware of the objects of awareness, or the knower knows the knowledge, or the perceiver perceives the perception of names and forms via the selfless function of the senses and the sense organs that are existing and functioning under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements.

The conscious mind (the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty of the physical body) under the presence of conscious awareness, is not the objects of awareness, and vice versa, the objects of awareness is not the awareness, including what the mind perceives/acknowledges/understands/identifies as 'this is I/me/myself' (thoughts/ideas) is also not the conscious awareness.

The presence of conscious awareness is merely the 'connecting bridge' that allows the selfless mind to be aware of the selfless existence and function of the mind itself and all kinds of perceived names and forms in the surrounding environment, that are all selfless and impermanent (there is no permanent independent infinite immortal individual self existence that exists in the body and mind, or in all kinds of names and forms).

Just as the presence of light (the 'connecting bridge') that enables the perceptive mind to perceive sights via the sense of seeing to see the objects of seeing through the organ of eyes. Under the absence of light, the mind doesn't perceive sights even if the different mechanisms of the mind and the sense and organ of eyes are existing and functioning perfectly as they are.

The presence/availability of light is selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional (can be strong or weak/brighter or dimmer/complete or partial presence and absence), so as the presence of conscious awareness that exists along with the selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary existence and function of the mortal body and mind.

Without the selfless support of the selfless energy and different selfless elements that come together to form the selfless impermanent existence and function of the limited and conditional mortal body and mind, what is the selfless impermanent existence and function of the conscious perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty/mind of the selfless impermanent mortal physical structure?

Without the selfless impermanent existence and function of the conscious perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty/mechanism/mind of the selfless impermanent physical structure, what is the restless modification of the mind or the worldly life existence of enjoyment and suffering?

Without the selfless universal consciousness, what is conscious awareness?

Without the conscious awareness, what is the objects of awareness?

Without the selfless existence and function of the different selfless mechanisms of the mind, what is good and bad, right and wrong, positive and negative, purity and impurity, happiness and unhappiness, meaningfulness and meaninglessness, appropriateness and disappropriateness, deserving and non-deserving, enjoyment and suffering?

And hence, non-grasping is valid and possible, as long as there is still the restless modification of the mind manifesting under the selfless impermanent existence and function of the different selfless mechanisms of the selfless mind under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, under the presence of the selfless conscious awareness, that gives rise to duality or separateness (subject and object, 'I' and 'not I').

Non-grasping (the yoga and/or buddhism practice, or meditation/self-inquiry/conscious mind evolution to eliminate the veil of ignorance and to transcend suffering), or non-grasping towards the objects of awareness, or the conscious mind perception/experience of dualities/separateness/subject and object, or enjoyment and suffering, doesn't exist or is invalid, upon Silence, or the stillness/annihilation of the restless modification of the mind.

That is why, it really doesn't matter if the mind still hasn't understand (completely) towards all these, even if the mind might still keep hurting itself and others and the surrounding environment either intentionally or unintentionally, due to unwittingly and ignorantly functioning under the influence of ignorance and the consequences of ignorance.

Because at least, the mind might stop harming/hurting itself and/or others and the surrounding environment during the time when it is being occupied by all kinds of ongoing physical and mental yoga and/or buddhism practices during its momentary selfless and impermanent existence and function. However, there are some minds might still be harming/hurting the body and mind during the process of learning and performing the different yoga and/or buddhism practice under the presence of the habitual ignorant and egoistic ideas, thinking, understanding, attitude, desire, aspiration, action, and reaction.

That's why the highly importance of the initial mind purification process (mental practices) under the help of the observation of renunciation, dispassion, solitude, seclusion, and silence, in order to eliminate the ego and egoism even before the beginning of learning and performing the physical practices.

Such as, occupying the entire life existence into performing ceaseless selfless service or karma yoga for oneself and others, or performing one's duties and responsibilities towards looking after oneself and others and the surrounding environment, without the need of performing any kind of specific yoga asana practice, breathing exercise, chanting, prayer, ritual, concentration and meditation practice under particular name and form, and etc.

It's about perform all kinds of actions without grasping/attachment.

Perform all actions/practices/duties/responsibilities, and let go the fruit of actions/practices/duties/responsibilities, allowing the fruit of actions to be what it is.

The minds that understand this, there is no difference between action and inaction, between worldly duties and all kinds of yoga and/or buddhism physical and mental practices, between different types of yoga/buddhism practice, or between different lineages/paths of yoga/buddhism. Not to say, there is no this type/lineage/path of yoga/buddhism is more superior/inferior than some other type/lineage/path of yoga/buddhism. But the presence of correct understanding towards all that is crucial, as that is influencing whether the mind will be generating behaviors, actions, and reactions that hurt oneself and others, or not, regardless of whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Meanwhile, the direct self realization towards all these, can allow the mind to be resting in peace amidst the chaotic world of ignorance and egoism, and/or to be making full use of the selfless impermanent momentary existence and function of the body and mind with the available existing and accumulating talents, skills, knowledge, understanding, experience, and opportunity, under the absence of ignorance, the idea of 'I' (the ego), egoism, restlessness, and all kinds of impurities (corrupted and destructive ideas, thinking, understanding, beliefs, values, desires, aspirations, actions and reactions, feelings and emotions, self-righteousness, pride, the urge to control everything to be or not to be in certain way, and etc), to be looking after and benefiting oneself, all and everything, and the surrounding environment, selflessly and indiscriminately.

And hence, it is highly important for activating the mind conscious evolution, to eliminate the veil of ignorance, to be resting in unconditional peace upon the selfless universal consciousness, during the momentary existence and function of the selfless impermanent mortal body and mind.

Inquire the truth of everything.
