Upon the direct realization towards selflessness, that also simultaneously gives rise to the realization towards timelessness, as well as spontaneously without any intention to know or understand this or that, the mind transcends all kinds of worldly egoistic beliefs, values, and practices created and practiced by the minds that were/are functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance.
The realization towards selflessness, where there is no permanent independent infinite immortal self existence of an individual consciousness/soul/spirit/'I' existing in any living organisms, not to say, in any non-living objects, to be undergoing the ceaseless selfless impermanent limited and conditional changes (formation/decay/disintegration) of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of the body and mind, that is non-self, that doesn't even belong to the body and mind itself.
The realization towards timelessness, where time is merely the reflection of ceaseless selfless impermanent changes in NOW, of the ceaseless conscious and unconscious physical and mental activities during the different states of consciousness, of the ceaseless process of decaying and disintegrating in between coming into existence and ceased existence in NOW, where there is neither past nor future, upon Silence, or the annihilation/subjugation of the restless modification of the mind, where the notion/idea of past and future arise upon the selfless perceptive mind under the presence of conscious/semi-conscious awareness is being aware of the selfless impermanent restless thought activities of perceiving, knowing, thinking, reasoning, recognizing, understanding, sensing, feeling, desiring, acting, reacting, remembering, and imagining/anticipating/scheduling/planning this or that, as well as sleeping and dreaming, in NOW.
Under the absence of conscious/semi-conscious awareness in the state of unconsciousness/deep sleep, there is no idea of 'I' or self acknowledgement, not to say, acknowledgment towards the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of the body and mind, the state of unconsciousness, and the surrounding environment, even though there are ceaseless autonomous selfless bodily activities for life maintenance/impermanent changes/decaying process/rehabilitation process/inputs processing that ceaselessly happening throughout the different states of consciousness, in NOW.
The selfless impermanent autonomous growing/ceased growing/aging/decaying process and the autonomous rehabilitation/regeneration or deterioration process of the existing damage, wound, illness, or injury is also happening ceaselessly throughout the different states of consciousness in NOW, where the damage, wound, illness, or injury are getting better or worse, regardless of under the presence or absence of conscious awareness, in NOW.
Even though the natural process of the ceaseless selfless impermanent changes of growth/rehabilitation/regeneration/deterioration/decay/aging/disintegration is an autonomous process that is happening throughout the different states of consciousness, but the conscious activities of knowledge learning and accumulating/actions taking/problems solving/habits changing during the state of consciousness under the presence of conscious awareness on top of the presence of clarity of thinking and correct understanding, as well as under the accessibility, availability, and possibility of essential healthy living environment/condition, proper nourishment, proper health and fitness activity, and specific medical treatment, or under the absence of all that, it can influence the selfless impermanent changes in certain way up to a certain extend (either slow down or speed up the selfless impermanent changes constructively or destructively) throughout the different states of consciousness, even though such conscious interference doesn't change the truth of decay and disintegration, or mortality, or ceased function and ceased existence in all kinds of names and forms (living organisms and non-living objects).
One can maintain the best condition of everything as much as possible, and extend the life span and functionality of everything as much as possible, but all and everything will eventually and naturally ceased functioning and ceased existing. No matter how good or bad is anyone or anything, and no matter how intelligent, creative, talented, skillful, successful, accomplished, wealthy, healthy, happy, fit, and strong is anyone, all and everyone and everything will come to an end of function and existence. For most minds that are functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance, this ultimate truth is something negative and meaningless for them, but for the minds that are free from the influence of ignorance, this is nether positive nor negative, neither meaningful nor meaningless, but they can make use of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary function and existence of the body and mind to be performing conscious activities/actions to benefit all and everyone indiscriminately and unconditionally, without grasping.
Similarly, short-lived and mortality (finite momentary existence) is something inauspicious, bad, negative, painful sorrow, or suffering, while longevity or immortality (infinite endless existence) is something auspicious, good, positive, joyful, or pleasurable enjoyment for the minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance. But, it isn't so for the minds that are devoid of ignorance.
Under the absence of conscious awareness or acknowledgement, under the state of unconsciousness, it doesn't mean that there is no ceaseless conscious and unconscious inputs/impacts/influences/imprints of the ceaseless conscious and unconscious activities/impermanent changes/causes and effects throughout the different states of consciousness. Most of the time, the mind has no awareness/acknowledgment towards many kinds of internal and external activities/impermanent changes/causes and effects that are ceaselessly happening under the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness, not to say, under the absence of conscious awareness/acknowledgement in the state of unconsciousness, but the ceaseless inputs/impacts/influences/imprints of everything are still there as they are, even if all these are also impermanent.
That is how extremely restless the thought current is (The natural formation of the veil of ignorance in all minds).
That is why the highly importance of the inevitable renunciation and the observation of silence (mauna) in solitude and seclusion, for a prolonged duration of at least 5 - 6 years and maybe longer for certain extremely restless minds, to cut off unnecessary worldly passionate egoistic ties and connections, contacts, communications, interactions, affairs, activities, actions, and reactions, to withdraw the senses from the objects of the senses, to turn the outgoing tendency of the mind inward, to refrain from news/magazines/TV programs/movies/books/novels/stories/musics/songs/theater performances/social medias/political, commercial, spiritual, religious, or cultural related inputs/activities watching/reading/hearing/engaging, as well as specific food/fuel/energy consumption that stimulate or agitate the states of mind, to refrain from worldly egoistic habits of socializing/chit-chatting/commenting/discussing/debating/arguing/gossiping/vain talking/boasting/glorifying/admiring/criticizing/condemning/back-biting/slandering/justifying/story making and telling/lying/day dreaming/aspiring and etc, to practically reduce and restraint the restlessness of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional modification of the mind throughout the different states of consciousness, in order to quiet the restless thought current effectively.
Upon the annihilation of the veil of ignorance or the restless impure egoistic modification of the mind, or upon the presence of clarity of thinking and correct understanding, the mind can live and mix freely among the worldly minds, without being determined or influenced by all kinds of worldly egoistic inputs and outputs, to be performing selfless service to serve the world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, selflessly, indiscriminately, and unconditionally.
This direct realization towards selflessness and timelessness, brings along the absolute knowledge/understanding towards the truth of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary finite existence of all kinds of names and forms, that are ceaselessly changing governed by the nature's law of cause and effect that is also impermanent, limited, and conditional, that is influencing or directing the impermanent changes (causes turning into effects) being what they are, ceaselessly changing under the existing causes that turn into effects that have countless possibilities, under the presence/influence of the existing impermanent limitations and conditions in NOW, where the effects/changes are not fixed, even if the causes are fixed, being what they are, as they are.
This realization/knowledge towards selflessness, timelessness, and the nature's law of cause and effect also gives rise to the knowledge of there is not an infinite loop of good/bad/neutral/neither good nor bad karma that powers the infinite wheel of ceaseless reincarnation, of endless cycles of births and deaths of a permanent independent infinite immortal self existence of an individual consciousness/soul/spirit (that is non-existing, that doesn't exist) undergoing countless separate different existences under different timing, ceaselessly reincarnating from the beginningless past (previous beginningless countless existences) into NOW (this specific existence) that will be continuously reincarnating into the endless future (endless existences after this specific existence in NOW) in accordance to certain worldly cultural/spiritual/religious beliefs, values, and practices.
The existence of all kinds of names and forms that had ceased existing/are existing in NOW under different qualities and impermanent changes, were/are merely a selfless impermanent limited and conditional dot ( . ) that keeps changing (selfless impermanent changes governed by the existing causes that turn into effects of countless possibilities under the influence of the existing impermanent limitations and conditions in NOW), and it is not even a finite line ( - or l or s) that begins from a dot and that will come to an end of the line, not to say, there is not an infinite beginningless and endless continuous line, or a stream of multiple dots that form a continuous line that turns into an infinite loop that is beginningless and endless, or a wheel that has no beginning or ending ( O ).
Meanwhile, this selfless impermanent limited and conditional dot (any kind of names and forms - living organisms or non-living objects) that is existing in NOW, has a beginning of existence (coming into existence under an existing cause) and has an end of existence (the end of impermanent changes), and is ceaselessly changing/decaying/disintegrating during its selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary existence under the influence of the existing internal and external causes that are turning into effects under the influence of the existing impermanent limitations and conditions, in NOW.
Most of the causes and effects might be inter-related to one another, where one cause gives rise to another cause that also gives rise to another cause, and so on, especially if the mind keeps reacting wittingly and unwittingly in certain way being conditioned by the specific conditional thinking and behavior pattern under the absence of correct understanding, or under the influence of the veil of ignorance. - Never ending of "I hurt you and you hurt me back, or vice versa, and repeat," under the absence of correct understanding.
The different causes and effects don't necessary related to one another, upon the mind performs effortless actions in accordance to the existing limitations and conditions (possibility and impossibility) that are impermanent, under the presence of correct understanding, or under the absence of the veil of ignorance, without the idea of 'I', without grasping, or without egoism of attachment, identification, craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation. - "You hurt me (under the influence of ignorance), I can but I don't necessarily have to hurt you back, or vice versa, even if there are inevitable consequences of actions that are what they are, or there are inevitable damages that cannot be undone, and there is respective responsibility or accountability, regardless of intentional or unintentional activities/actions/reactions," under the presence of correct understanding.
There is conscious/semi-conscious freewill under the presence of conscious/semi-conscious awareness and cognition, to choose what type of activities/actions/reactions to be generated, under the presence of correct understanding.
It is up to the dot, that comes with the organs of perception and organs of action under the presence of conscious awareness, to consciously generate what kind of causes/actions that are being nurtured under what type of impermanent limitations and conditions, that influence the effects/consequences of actions being in certain way or not in certain way, in NOW.
Live in NOW, without attachment, or grasping, or clinging unto NOW regardless of pleasant or unpleasant/desirable or undesirable/agreeable or disagreeable, that is always changing, that is limited and conditional, but also comes with unlimited possibilities simultaneously.
There is no fear in such mind under the presence of absolute knowledge.
Inquire the truth of everything, including all that is here.
