Taking responsibility towards the action, reaction, desire, and behavior of oneself

The very basic yoga practice or teachings of yoga that the students of yoga learn in the yoga class even before trying to learn about some basic yoga exercise or yoga asana and pranayama practice, is about taking full responsibility towards oneself, towards all the different impermanent states of mind, of the thinking, understanding, feelings, emotions, ideas, belief and values, likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, desires and don't desires, behaviors, actions, and reactions being generated through the body and mind, towards looking after oneself physically, mentally and/or emotionally, as well as towards making decision to be performing certain action/inaction, and to be active or take rest physically and/or mentally, in the present moment NOW accordingly, under the respective internal physical/mental and external environmental condition/situation/ability/disability/limitation/possibility/impossibility in the present moment NOW, that is impermanent, that is constantly changing.

Even though there is no infinite immortal individual self existence of 'I' existing in the selfless impermanent limited and conditional body and mind, but the selfless body and mind is indeed the one that is wittingly and/or unwittingly generating different countless cause after cause that give rise to respective different effects, deriving from certain behavior/action/reaction that are being generated under specific conscious desire/choice intentionally and/or under instinctive urge non-intentionally.

There is no infinite immortal individual self existence of 'I' that exists in the selfless body and mind to be responsible towards all the causes being generated by the selfless body and mind, while the selfless body and mind is responsible towards all the causes and effects that are being generated either wittingly (consciously by conscious choice and desire) or unwittingly (non-by choice unconsciously/instinctively/autonomously).

Regardless of whether wittingly or unwittingly, consciously or instinctively, intentionally or unintentionally, the body and mind is still the one that is responsible towards all its actions/reactions/behaviors being generated under conscious desires or instinctive urges of autonomous physical and mental activities being over-powered or conditioned by internal genetic inheritance or by external influential conditions.

There is sickness, or injury, or painful/unpleasant sensations in this body and mind, and this body and mind is undergoing this sickness, or injury, or painful/unpleasant sensations, while all the other bodies and minds are not undergoing all THAT, that is only happening in this particular body and mind, being perceived under the presence of the selfless conscious mind awareness of this particular mind.

Even when the mother can commiserate towards the painful physical and mental suffering that her child is suffering, and she herself is also being in a state of painful suffering upon seeing her child being in a state of physical and mental suffering, but she cannot replace the child or swap place with the child, to be the one who suffers the painful physical and mental suffering that the child is undergoing or suffering. She cannot take the medicine and receive the treatment, for her child to be recovering and become better. Her child has to take the medicine and receive the treatment to be recovering and become better.

It is the responsibility of the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind towards how it behaves, acts and reacts towards all and everything that it perceives/experiences/comes in contact with or doesn't come in contact with, as well as towards the consequences of all its behaviors, actions and reactions.

The minds that think and believe that there is completely no conscious freewill by choice to choose how to behave, act, and react under conscious awareness, where they think and believe that all behaviors, actions, and reactions are 'instinctively/autonomously/under the absence of conscious freewill' being influenced by the existing internal and/or external specific cause that leads to specific effect (that they think and believe as fixed, or non-modifiable), it is because they haven't attained direct self realization towards the truth of Thyself, or the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind, the mind stuff, the ego and egoism, the veil of ignorance, the selfless universal consciousness, the conscious mind awareness, the conscious mind evolution or the path of self inquiry and self realization, Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, Non-self, Non-grasping, Silence, and Transcend, even if they have been accumulating all kinds of knowledge and information about all that coming from someone and somewhere, or under the help of innovative tools under advanced science and technology.

The mind that understands this, it is free, as it is.

It knows that its selfless impermanent states of mind, of happiness and unhappiness, peacefulness or peacelessness, doesn't need to be determined by whatever it perceives/experiences or doesn't perceive/experience internally and/or externally, regardless of whether the internal and/or external experiences/non-experiences/conditions/situations are pleasant or unpleasant, agreeable or disagreeable, desirable or undesirable, enjoyable or non-enjoyable.

The selfless impermanent restless modifications/states of mind, of all kinds of random thinking/thoughts/ideas/feelings/emotions that ceaselessly arising and passing away/coming and going, also cannot determine the ignorance free thinking and acting mind that knows what is non-grasping/non-attachment/non-identification/non-craving/non-aversion/non-comparison/non-judgment/non-expectation to be what it is, to be existing and functioning, to be performing action/inaction, without being determined by the selfless impermanent modifications/states of mind/mind stuff that is non-self, that doesn't belong to the selfless thinking and acting mind, not to say, all kinds of mind perception of names and forms being perceived through the senses via the sense organs, internally and/or externally.

It respects and doesn't restrict the freedom of thinking or not thinking, belief or disbelief, understanding or non-understanding, desire or don't desire, and the different types of behavior, action, and reaction of all the other minds being what they are, as they are, but all that and all kinds of pleasant or unpleasant, agreeable or disagreeable treatments coming from others unto itself, cannot determine itself to be happy and peaceful, or not.

Under the presence of conscious awareness on top of the presence of correct understanding, the ignorance free thinking and acting mind can choose how it behaves, acts, and reacts towards all and everything.

It doesn't need to control anything. It doesn't need to defy the nature's law of cause and effect being what it is. It doesn't need to defy or deny the natural process of decay and disintegration, or death. But it has the conscious awareness and correct understanding to be influencing the selfless impermanent changes in certain way in NOW, even if the body and mind is existing and functioning under certain inevitable restriction or limitation.

It doesn't need to stay there not moving away from any kind of natural disasters/hazards/dangers/risks/man made difficult and hurtful condition and situation, or ill treatments from others.

It doesn't need to argue with or fight against the ignorance of others.

It doesn't need to change or convince and convert others to be thinking, believing, understanding, desiring, behaving, acting, and reacting in certain way or not in certain way.

It may or may not do its best to help all the others to be free from the influence of ignorance, if there is the opportunity and possibility, without any obligation, and without egoism of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation, allowing and respecting all and everyone to be what they are and what they are not, as they are, and to take their own pace under their own cause and effect, to be changing in certain way or not in certain way, or not.

That is what mental and emotional independence is about.

That is what the basic yoga and/or buddhism practice is about.

The mind that doesn't understand this, it thinks and believes that, "It is because of you and how you treat me, it is because of them and how they treat me, it is because of everyone and everything that had happened and that is happening to me, that is why I behave, act, and react like this and not like that, that is why I feel disturbed or pleased, meaningful or meaningless, that is why I am happy or unhappy, peaceful or not peaceful, and that is why I do this and not doing that, that is why I behave like this and not behaving like that." And more so, "It is because of my genes, that is why I am thinking, believing, reasoning, understanding, desiring, behaving, acting, and reacting like this and not like that," or even, "It's not my fault. Don't blame me for my bad behavior and ignorance. It's the responsibility of my bad genes inheritance from my bad parental lineage."

It is true that a mango seed (the original cause) gives rise to a mango tree that gives mango flowers and fruits of mangoes, and it doesn't give rise to all other kinds of trees, flowers, and fruits that are not mango, however, the selfless impermanent changes from the seed being planted, to being nurtured, to be growing into a full blown matured tree that give rise to flowers and fruits, or not, are conditional, are not fixed. It depends on the availability and non-availability of certain environmental conditions, as well as the planter of seed/tree under the presence or absence of conscious awareness and understanding and effort that can influence the entire process of planting and nurturing that mango seed/tree/flowers/fruits.

The seed, the tree, the flowers, the fruits, the planter, or the environmental conditions, are all selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self. It doesn't mean that under the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self, there are no conscious by choice activities deriving from the selfless thinking and acting minds, that have the organs of actions to be performing all kinds of intentional and non-intentional activities in this world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, that are impacting and influencing all and everything in certain way, selflessly, regardless of constructively or destructively.

If the mind has only one single opportunity for one single timing to be learning yoga and/or buddhism during its entire selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence and function, is to be learning about taking full responsibility towards its selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function that is non-self, that doesn't even belong to itself.

If the mind truly knows how to take full responsibility towards itself, towards its selfless impermanent modification/state of mind, of all kinds of selfless impermanent conscious or autonomous instinctive thought activities, ideas, thinking, feelings, emotions, understanding, desire, behavior, action, and reaction, regardless of whether it is being conditioned by genetic inheritance condition, or being influenced by some external influential conditions and situations, this mind will have peace, unconditional peace, not being determined or disturbed by all kinds of pleasant or unpleasant/agreeable or disagreeable/desirable or undesirable/enjoyable or non-enjoyable experiences/happenings/conditions/situations/impermanent changes, that are happening internally or externally.

The more the mind has peace, the more the mind can understand this and that clearly, as it is.

If the mind wants to be happy, none and nothing can make the mind unhappy.

If the mind wants to be unhappy, anyone and anything also cannot make the mind happy. 

And it's okay, if the mind doesn't understand something or many things.

Keep practicing.

Never give up. 

Inquire the truth of everything.

Purify. Meditate. Inquiry. Realize. 

The timeless freedom under the presence of correct understanding or wisdom and compassion

This timeless freedom doesn't mean that there is completely no limitation, or no restriction, or no self control in all our thinking, action, and speech or expression, or we have completely no restriction (that is nothing to do with the creation and existence of the many unnecessary man made egoistic non-universal rules and regulations) to be existing, functioning, and living in this world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, in an infinite space of existence that is being shared momentarily among the many diverse objects and living organisms, individually and communally.

All and everyone and everything are limited and conditional, inevitably being limited by certain limitations and conditions, as well as selfless impermanent changes internally and externally, governed under the nature's law of cause and effect.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence of the mortal body and mind consisting of all kinds of individual and collective experiences, affairs, happenings, relationships, interactions, and activities are not necessarily the way that the different minds would like it to be, or the way that the different minds perceive as pleasant, desirable, agreeable, or enjoyable.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of all and everyone and everything are inevitably inter-connected to one another, inter-supporting and inter-impacting one another.

It is inevitable that there are certain limitation and condition while being existing and functioning selflessly and momentarily in and sharing this space of existence that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, especially under the existence of the many different minds that are functioning under the presence of ignorance, that generate many ideas/desires/beliefs/values/practices/behaviors/actions/reactions/aspirations/ambitions that are impacting oneself, others, and the surrounding environment in certain way.

There are certain limitation existing in the body and the mind, where the body and mind cannot do certain things, or the mind cannot understand or doesn't know how to do certain things. And it's okay.

There are certain limitation and condition existing in the surrounding environment, where all and everyone and everything cannot completely be free/unlimited/unrestricted/unconditioned to be what all and everyone desire to be and not to be. And it's okay.

The moment there is attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation arising and coming from the selfless thinking and acting faculty being generated towards the possibilities and impossibilities in the body and mind and the surrounding environment, in NOW, there arise the perception or notion of "I am not free."

Upon the absence of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation in the mind, while there is respect and acceptance coming from the selfless thinking and acting faculty towards the body and mind and the surrounding environment being what it is, inevitably being limited by certain limitation and condition, where the body and mind cannot understand or do certain things, in NOW, where the selfless thinking and acting faculty doesn't force the body and mind beyond its limitation to be doing something that the body and mind cannot understand and cannot do, that is not possible, in NOW, there is no perception or notion of "I am not free."

Under the presence of correct understanding, or wisdom and compassion, where the mind understand that there are many things are limited by certain limitation and condition, as well as there are many minds are being limited by certain limitation, condition, and non-understanding, where certain things are not necessarily available in accordance to one's desire and don't desire, as well as certain minds are not necessarily thinking/understanding/behaving/acting/reacting in the way that is in accordance to one's agreements and disagreements, or that is unselfish, or non-possessive, or reasonable, or logical, or constructive, or beneficial for all and everyone unconditionally and indiscriminately, where the mind doesn't need to be determined or disturbed by the non-availability of certain things under certain inevitable limitation and condition, as well as the existing of certain unreasonable thinking/understanding/behavior/action/reaction of certain minds under the presence of certain inevitable limitation, condition, and non-understanding, but respecting and accepting all and everyone and everything being what they are and what they are not, as they are, there is no perception or notion of "I am not free."

This timeless freedom is always there as it is, where there is absence of the perception or notion of, "I am not free," even if the mind that is functioning under the presence of correct understanding, or wisdom and compassion, decides and chooses to not doing, or not saying, or not expressing something that is non-conducive or non-constructive for maintaining the peace and harmony in oneself and in the surrounding environment, and choosing not to be doing, not to be saying, or not to be expressing something that will be empowering the non-understanding, or the ignorance and the by-products of ignorance in the many minds in this world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, but choosing to perform certain action, to be doing, or saying, or expressing, or disseminating something that will be conducive, constructive, and beneficial for all and everyone and everything in this world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, to have more peace and harmony under the absence of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, a.k.a. the presence of correct understanding, or wisdom and compassion.

It is insanity, but there were, and there are many minds would think and believe that it is 'easier' or 'more efficient' to control all the other minds to behave or not behaving in certain way, by keeping all minds as ignorant as possible, to be not knowing many things as they are, while to be fed with many untruthful manipulative story telling, to not questioning towards anything, especially towards the 'authorized' authority/authorization/head/leader/mystical superior powerful figure or entity, but to be conditioned to think and believe in certain way and to behave/act/react and desire in certain way, being conditioned under certain belief/values/practice, to be completely submissive and fearful towards the 'easily be offended and violent' prideful possessive ambitious authority/authorization/head/leader/mystical superior powerful figure or entity, within a family/tribe/community/organization/country/world/belief, to be threatened, oppressed, restricted, manipulated, and controlled under the many man made rules and regulations along with the painful disciplinary punishment upon the rules and regulations are being offended.

Many of these minds that are thinking and believing in such way, and there will be more and more minds would be thinking and believing in such way, it is not because they are what they are, or they are being born to think and believe and behave in such way, it is because they are and have been continuously being impacted, hammered, disappointed, threatened, disturbed, confused, frustrated, and exhausted by the existence of all kinds of untruthfulness/hypocrisy/discrimination and evitable man made suffering in the surrounding environment in the world, deriving from ignorant human's affairs/activities/behaviors arising under the influence of ignorance and its by-products.

The more the minds are thinking and believing and supporting ignorant practices in such way, the more frustration, desperation, suffering, and disturbance will be arising in the world that will impact all and everyone, including they themselves who support such way of thinking, beliefs, ideas, values, desires, aspirations, and practices.

That is why it is so extremely important and precious to be having the conscious mind awareness to be aware of and to be doubting/inquiring/investigating towards what is happening internally in the body and mind, and externally in the surrounding environment in the world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, as well as the opportunity and possibility of conscious mind evolution, even if all and everyone and everything are selfless and impermanent, to attain direct self realization towards the truth of all and everything. It is not easy and it is challenging, but it is possible for the selfless self-aware minds that have intense yearning towards knowledge, liberation, freedom, and peace, to be free from all that madness that are being fed by ignorance, and that are feeding ignorance, of a loop that seems to be infinite and unbreakable, but it is POSSIBLE for each individual selfless mind to be free from that via self initiation and self effort.

There is no infinite existence of an immortal 'I' that exists in the selfless body and mind, that needs to be liberated, or needs to be free, or has the freewill for anything, however, the selfless impermanent limited and conditional thinking and acting faculty of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional physical structure, that is functioning under the influence of ignorance, that perceives all kinds of suffering and disturbance, that is in need of liberation, that needs to be free, that has the 'limited and conditional' conscious freewill to be deciding and choosing what and how it wants or doesn't want to do with the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty via the selfless organs of action of the selfless physical structure, that is non-self, that doesn't even belong to the body and mind itself.

 

Even though there is the existence of certain limitation and condition, or restriction, or self control, or self filtering towards all one's physical and mental actions, speech, and expression under the presence of correct understanding, or wisdom and compassion in oneself, where oneself understands that there are certain minds don't have the correct understanding, or wisdom and compassion, where the many minds are functioning under the presence of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, where the thinking/understanding/reasoning/behavior/action/reaction/desire of the many minds are not necessarily reasonable and constructive and beneficial for all and everyone and everything unconditionally and indiscriminately, where the many minds are thinking/understanding/reasoning/behaving/acting/reacting/desiring in the way that are selfish, possessive, discontent, greedy, impatient, disrespecting, intolerant, non-accommodating, disturbing, discriminating, violent, hurtful, and destructive unto all and everyone and everything, and hence, one decides and chooses to be doing and not doing something respectively in accordance to what is constructive and beneficial for all and everyone and everything, and vice versa, universally, unconditionally, and indiscriminately.

It is one's freedom of choice (not being forced, or threatened, or restricted, or oppressed by some others, under the existence of many unnecessary man made rules and regulations), of choosing what one wants to do or doesn't want to do, while respecting and accepting the possibility and impossibility of what can or cannot be done physically and/or mentally in NOW, beyond the existence of certain inevitable limitation and condition in oneself, and in others and the surrounding environment.

This is the 'limited and conditional' freewill that exist under the presence of conscious mind awareness devoid of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, as there is the existence of inevitable limitation to be choosing (conscious self control) what type of action, speech, and expression, being limited by the existence of certain inevitable existing condition.

The presence of conscious self control under the presence of correct understanding to be filtering and choosing what type of action/reaction, speech, and expression, to help the world of ignorance and egoism to have more peace and wisdom, is indeed the highly precious 'limited and conditional' freewill, not being determined or disturbed by all kinds of ignorance in this world to also become ignorant, or behaving/acting/reacting ignorantly like all the others that are functioning under the influence of ignorance. 

Even if it is 'limited and conditional' freewill, but it is highly precious and essential that can be promoting more peace and harmony, while less unnecessary evitable disturb and suffering in oneself, and in this world of diversity that is selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional, that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

The presence of the correct understanding towards, "Even when there is none having any intention to be generating any action, speech, or expression that meant to be deliberately disturbing, offending, disrespecting, humiliating, belittling, or hurting anyone or anything, but there are many minds that are functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance, that don't have the correct understanding, that are lack of wisdom and compassion, where many of these unrest disturbed impure egoistic minds would perceive and react towards many things that they dislike and disagree with under their own particular thinking, belief, values, desires, and practices as something disturbing, offensive, disrespectful, humiliating, belittling, or hurting towards them, either individually and/or collectively, due to the presence of the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness in themselves," is freedom.

"I don't want to do, or say, or express anything that will hurt myself, and others, and the surrounding environment, intentionally, even if it is possible for me to do, or say, or express whatever and whenever." That is one's own freedom of thinking/understanding/desire/choice.

"I want to do, or say, or express something that will be conducive and beneficial for myself, and others, and the surrounding environment, if it's possible. I don't have to do, or say, or express anything if it is not possible for me to do, or say, or express anything, in NOW, that is impermanent." That is also one's own freedom of thinking/understanding/desire/choice.

The mind chooses to move away from the non-conducive, hurtful, violent, and destructive family, relationship, community, environment, or area and space, to be looking after the physical and mental well being of this body and mind, is also it's own freedom of thinking/understanding/desire/choice.

Regardless of what the body and mind do or don't/can't do, what the body and mind say or don't/can't say, what the body and mind express or don't/can't express, where the body and mind go or don't/can't go, where the body and mind is and is not, and what the body and mind can be and cannot be, regardless of under the presence of certain limitation and condition in oneself and/or in the surrounding environment, the mind is always at peace as it is. The mind is not being determined or disturbed by all that. Because it understands. Because it understands that there are many other minds don't understand, that gives rise to many kinds of unnecessary limitation and condition that are inconvenient, unpleasant, or hurtful unto oneself and all the others and the surrounding environment.

It is one's freedom of choice, action, thinking, and understanding to be free and peaceful as one is, no matter what, being undetermined or undisturbed by any existing limitation and condition or impossibility, in NOW, that is impermanent.

It is one's freedom of choice, action, desire, thinking, and understanding, whether one wants to do something to be free from ignorance, and to have correct understanding, or not.

The minds that have correct understanding, that is functioning under the presence of wisdom and compassion, they won't be determined or disturbed by anyone or anything, not to say, to react and feel being offended, disrespected, humiliated, belittled, intimidated, threatened, oppressed, discriminated, or hurt by anyone or anything, even if some minds are deliberately generating action, speech, or expression that are meant to be deliberately offending, disrespecting, humiliating, belittling, intimidating, threatening, oppressing, discriminating, or hurting the others under certain intentions or desires, deriving from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

They won't waste any energy or effort a.k.a the non-self precious life existence and function into all kinds of ignorance and the consequences of ignorance in this world of human beings that are mostly functioning under the veil of ignorance, that direct their entire momentary life existence to be focusing on empowering deeper ignorance in themselves and in others.

That is freedom, even under the presence of certain inevitable limitation and condition of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary life existence and function of the finite mortal body and mind that is non-self, that doesn't even belong to the finite mortal body and mind itself, being momentarily existing and functioning in this world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, where there are many things that the body and mind don't do or cannot do, or don't know and can't understand, physically and/or mentally, that are impermanent.

The timeless freedom that is always there, as it is, in all and everyone, that never appear or disappear, that never increase or decrease, that is unlimited and unconditional, that is unveiled upon the absence of ignorance, or upon the presence of correct understanding, or wisdom and compassion.

Inquire the truth of everything. 

The world of many diversities doesn't belong to anyone or anything

Neither the world of many diversities and communities nor the planet earth nor anything in this infinite space belong to anyone or anything.

All land and space, the nature and natural resources, and all and everything in anywhere in the universe don't belong to anyone or anything.

All and everyone and everything are merely existing momentarily and sharing this infinite space that doesn't belong to anyone and anything. 

'Discrimination', 'separateness', 'borders', 'documentation', 'emigration', 'immigration', 'nationality', 'citizenship', 'legalization', 'criminalization', 'authorization', or 'legal and illegal immigrants' don't exist, as well as all and everyone are free to be existing, living, surviving, moving, and travelling everywhere in the world that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, until different communities claimed possession, ownership, and authorization towards the land and space, the nature and natural resources, and all and everything in this world on planet earth that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, while create lots of story telling and justification (all kinds of beliefs and values) to justify and validate all that (all those egoistic practices that go against nature or the truth of everything as it is).

Unfortunately, even under the era of higher advanced science and technology, of higher education and development, most human beings are being brought up, educated, and empowered under certain beliefs and values to have strong attachment and identification, possessiveness and the sense of belonging, pride and patriotism, and the sense of separateness and discrimination towards what they were being conditioned to think and believe towards 'That is the way of the world', 'That is how things should be done', 'That is who they are', 'That is what belongs to them', 'That is where they belong to', 'That they need to be patriotic to protect what they belong to and what belongs to them', 'That they need approval and recognition and authorization to be who they are and for all and everything (to be born, to be alive, to be existing, to be what they are and not to be what they are not, to think or don't think, to believe or don't believe, to feel or don't feel, to behave or don't behave, to express or don't express, to be living, and to be stop living or to die)', 'That they are different from and more superior than all the others that are not one of them', 'That they have the rights or more rights to be existing, living, surviving, moving, and travelling in certain area of land and space', and 'All the others that are not one of them don't have the rights or have less rights to be existing, living, surviving, moving, and travelling in certain area of land and space that they think and believe that belong to them'.

How ridiculous is that, the authorities, the law makers, the armies, and the soldiers have 'the rights' to hurt and kill all and everyone and destroy all and everything, causing all kinds of unnecessary difficulties and painful suffering unto many innocent lives in the world that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, while all and everyone doesn't even have the rights or freedom to die at one's own wish, that it is illegal and criminalized and punishable for want to stop living due to the existence of all kinds of unnecessary difficulties and painful suffering that exist because of the existence of all kinds of man made greed, selfishness, possessiveness, discrimination, separateness, bullying, cruelty, violence, and madness deriving from ignorance, or because people appreciate and respect all lives and everything, and they don't want to be forced to be engaging in violence to hurt and kill and destroy all and everyone and everything? How ridiculous is that many kind people wish to stop living because they are being forced to become armies and soldiers that hurt and kill others and cause hurtful destruction unto all and everything, and they will be criticized, condemned, and punished for don't want to hurt and kill others?

The many different leaders/authorities/law makers says, "We are here to protect our people and our world," while they are doing many things to hurt the people and the world that don't belong to anyone or anything as much as possible, either intentionally (wittingly) or unintentionally (unwittingly).

The children also don't belong to the parents, not to say, the diverse communities don't belong to anyone or anything.

Certain ambitious leaders/authorities misused the meanings of oneness, non-separateness, non-discrimination, and non-borders, or 'all are one', or 'we are one big family', via the practice of unification/non-diversity/non-individualism/non-independence through manipulation/force/threat/intimidation/oppression/suppression/invasion, by disallowing and criminalizing and destroying diversities and all kinds of freedom, while being ambitious to claim possession/ownership and authorization/control over the entire world of many diversities and communities as well as land, space, and natural resources that doesn't belong to anyone or anything to be governed/controlled under their own particular leadership or authority, to be materializing, supporting, and empowering their particular ambitious vision of an unify non-diverse world under their particular way of thinking and belief, values and desires.

Complete madness. 

The world doesn't have to be like this.

Inquire the truth of everything.

May all be free, be happy, be peaceful.

Inquire towards reincarnation

Inquire the truth of everything, including all kinds of teachings coming from anyone and anywhere, including all that is here.

The main teachings and practice of Buddhism and/or Yoga, is about performing self-inquiry to be inquiring towards "Who am 'I', or more precisely, what is the 'I' that the thinking in the mind thinks and believes, or acknowledges and identifies as 'I'?

The mind needs to be engaging in diligent and persevered mind purification process to eliminate the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, that enables the mind to perform self inquiry and attain self realization towards the truth of "Who am I?", or what is the self identity of 'I' that exists in all selfless minds, without the influence of worldly egoistic ideas, attachments, identifications, beliefs, values, desires, aspirations, ambitions, visions, and practices, that also leads to the inquiry and direct realization towards the truth of all and everything that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

The annihilation of the ego, or the absence of the idea of an illusive finite 'I' from the selfless modification of the mind, will also lead the minds towards the direct self realization towards the truth of Selflessness, that there is NO immortal infinite existence of any particular permanent independent unchanging individual identity of an unique infinite I existing in all kinds of names and forms, including all kinds of sentient and non-sentient living organisms or beings, not to say, in all other kinds of non-living objects. Upon the realization towards the truth of Selflessness, who or what is there that is infinite and immortal to be undergoing 'the endless loop of ceaseless births and deaths or reincarnations'?

The direct self realization towards the truth of Selflessness, will also lead to the realization towards Impermanence, which will also lead to the realization towards the truth of Timelessness, where time doesn't exist. There is only the illusive idea of time that is merely the reflection of ceaseless impermanent changes of forming/growing/changing/decaying/disintegrating/passing away/movements/activities in all kinds of names and forms in NOW, where all kinds of selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence of all kinds of names and forms is only and can only be in NOW, it is never beyond NOW, or it is not before and after NOW. Where certain names and forms had ceased existing and decomposed in NOW, while certain names and forms are forming and arising in NOW, while certain names and forms that are existing are undergoing ceaseless impermanent changes of growth/ceased growing/decay/malfunctioning/disintegration in NOW, while certain names and forms are in the process of passing away or decomposing or ceased existing in NOW. There is neither past nor future in NOW. Whatever that are happening in NOW, are the consequences/effects of the existing impactful actions/causes. This realization will allow the minds to choose or decide what type of impactful action/cause that is being generated in NOW, diligently, under the presence of correct understanding, or wisdom, devoid of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

Upon the realization of Timelessness, what is 'The endless loop of ceaseless births and deaths of countless reincarnations of beginningless past lives, momentary present life, and endless future lives of any particular infinite immortal individual identity transitioning in different realms/spheres'?

The basic and essential teachings and practice of both yoga and buddhism, is about non-grasping, or non-attachment and non-identification towards all kinds of names and forms, as well as letting go all kinds of existing multiple individual and group identifications with the many different qualities of names and forms, of family and community lineage and heritage, ties and connections, genetic traits, tribes, castes, gender, duty and responsibility, spiritual/cultural/religious beliefs, values, practices, desires, visions, inspirations, aspirations, ideas, feelings, emotions, knowledge, intellect, talents, efforts and the fruit of efforts, happy or unhappy and desirable or undesirable relationships/interactions/affairs/experiences/memories/imaginations/anticipations, the physical body and the thinking mind regardless of the impermanent good or bad and perfect or imperfect condition/state and the efficiency or inefficiency of the different physical and mental functions/mechanisms, the ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, titles, professions, sense of belonging, sense of self-esteem and self-worth, birth place, place of living, nationality, citizenship, possessiveness towards lands and space or buildings and objects, relationships and/or friendships accumulation, qualifications and certifications, recognition, acknowledgement, achievements, contributions, as well as all kinds of pleasurable enjoyments and/or painful sufferings, that are non-self, that don't belong to 'I', that are not 'I', and there is no permanent independent infinite immortal self existence or self identity of 'I' existing to be undergoing selfless impermanent changes of the body and mind, or to be identifying as this and that, as well as what many minds believed as ceaseless reincarnations of a permanent independent infinite immortal self existence of 'I' undergoing ceaseless reincarnations to be reincarnating into countless different life existences under different qualities of names and forms, transitioning in different realms or spheres in accordance to the endless and boundless past accumulated 'karma'.

Upon the direct self realization towards the truth of Selflessness in all and everything, one will realize towards the truth of "ceaseless reincarnations reincarnating into different qualities of names and forms transitioning in different realms" that exists in particular worldly egoistic cultural/spiritual/religious belief, values, practice, and understanding, where there is not any permanent independent infinite self existence or self identity of 'I' existing in the body and mind, to be undergoing impermanent changes, not to say, to be undergoing what many minds believed as "ceaseless reincarnations under countless different life existences of different names and forms in different realms" under particular belief, values, practice, and understanding that come with specific reason/intention/aspiration/vision, under the presence of certain intense physical, mental, and emotional attachment and identification towards certain names and forms.

The realization towards the truth of Impermanence, of ceaseless selfless impermanent changes in all and everything, enables the mind to realize timelessness, where there's neither past nor future, there is only NOW, and everything in NOW is constantly changing, where time is merely the reflection of ceaseless selfless impermanent changes/growth/decay/disintegration/activities/movements that are non-self, where there is not a continuous permanent unchanging independent self existence of an infinite immortal 'I' that exists in any kind of names and forms, to be in control of all and everything to be or not to be in certain way, where all and everyone and everything are existing/happening, changing, and ceased existing under the nature's law of cause and effect (generated by the selfless actions and consequences of actions being generated by each selfless mind and all selfless minds that had been existing and had ceased existing, as well as that are still existing, in NOW.)

There is no permanent unchanging independent self existence of an infinite immortal 'I' to be influencing or to be in control of all and everything to be or not to be in certain way, or to be responsible for the cause and effect deriving from the ceaseless selfless actions and consequences of actions being generated by the selfless body and mind, it doesn't mean that the selfless body and mind is not responsible towards all its ceaseless selfless actions and consequences of actions, that gives rise to ceaseless cause and effect. The selfless body and mind is indeed the one that is responsible for the cause and effect deriving from its ceaseless selfless actions and consequences of actions, that are influencing all and everything to be or not to be in certain way, up to certain extend, under the selfless support of the selfless energy and selfless elements for everything to be happening and changing as they are.

"All actions/activities generated by all and everyone are selfless actions/activities, regardless of wholesome or unwholesome actions or activities." Selfless actions/activities doesn't mean unselfish and wholesome actions or activities. Selflessness is completely unrelated to selfishness or unselfishness, kindness or unkindness, compassion or non-compassion, wholesomeness or unwholesomeness, constructive or destructive, hurtful or non-hurtful, good or evil, and etc. Selflessness is merely the truth of all and everyone and everything, where there is no permanent unchanging independent self existence/identity of 'I' in all and everything that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self. All selfless body and mind are performing selfless actions/activities under the presence of wisdom a.k.a. the absence of ignorance, or under the presence of ignorance a.k.a. the absence of wisdom (correct understanding), that can be constructive or destructive. - The minds need to attain direct self realization towards Selflessness to truly understand this.

"You are such a selfless person, and representing selflessness, because you did so much good and kind actions and activities for benefiting and comforting so many others who are in painful suffering in the world," is incorrect statement, even though there is nothing wrong and very good to be complimenting someone who is unselfish and has been performing many good and kind actions and activities that promote unselfishness, kindness, non-violence, peace, wisdom, and compassion in this world of many suffering minds.

All and everyone and everything are selfless, including all sentient living beings and non-living object, and even the most selfish, violent, cruel, ignorant, hurtful, destructive, and evil people in the world, are also selfless beings.

The selfless body and mind under the presence of correct understanding devoid of ignorance, can be choosing what type of action and inaction that will give rise to what type of cause and effect, that is influencing the selfless body and mind, and the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, to be or not to be in certain way, to be more or less healthy or unhealthy, to be more or less peaceful or peaceless, that would be beneficial or harmful for all and everyone and everything that are all selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

Who or what is undergoing "ceaseless reincarnations" to be reincarnated into another existence under different names and forms, or under different physical bodies and minds, or under different life existences, before and after this particular life existence in NOW?

Only upon the mind attains direct self realization towards Selflessness, or knowing Thyself, or knowing "Who am 'I' or What is 'I'?", or knowing what is the thinking mind and the restless modification of the mind, will allow the mind to know what is "The ceaseless reincarnations transforming into many different names and forms transitioning in between different realms/spheres in NOW in this selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self life existence of a momentary mortal body and mind", that is nothing to do with "A permanent independent infinite immortal individual self existence/identity of 'I' that has been undergoing endless 'reincarnation' of ceaselessly reincarnating into countless different impermanent momentary life forms/existences/names and forms, undergoing endless loop of countless births and deaths of countless different life forms/existences/names and forms, transitioning in different realms/spheres under the influence of boundless and endless past accumulated good, or bad, or neither good nor bad, or both good and bad 'karma', or even by self 'organizing' of choosing the next body and mind to be reincarnating into," that exists in certain worldly egoistic cultural/spiritual/religious ideas, beliefs, values, intentions, desires, visions, and practices.

That is neither right nor wrong, neither good nor bad.

As the thinking and belief in the selfless mind is so powerful, where it influences the mind to be or not to be in certain way (the different impermanent states of mind), where the selfless mind is indeed the one that is responsible for creating its own particular reality/realm/sphere to be in, in NOW, not in another different life forms/existences/names and forms before and after NOW.

For the many minds that believe in the existence of an immortal and infinite pure individual soul under certain belief, values, and practice, where they believe in the individual soul is permanent, independent, pure, immortal, and infinite, that is who they really are, that is the one who is undergoing ceaseless births and deaths of ceaseless reincarnations reincarnating into ceaseless and countless different life existences transitioning in different realms, unwittingly, either in accordance to the past accumulated karma (that is completely nothing to do with the pure soul that is immortal and infinite, but have been generated by the impure mind under the impure body that is finite, momentary, mortal, limited, and conditional), or being judged under the judgment of a superior entity, upon death of the impure mortal body and mind. That is the freedom of thinking and belief of all minds. There is neither right nor wrong, neither good nor bad in all kinds of different thinking and beliefs. They have their own reasons to be existing as what they are.

Siddhartha Gautama Buddha 'deliberately' didn't comment or mention anything about 'the soul' that exists in many different beliefs, whether it exists or doesn't exist, whether it is something true or untrue, which that itself (non-commenting about that) alone, initiates and enables the minds to be inquiring and attaining the truth of Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self in all kinds of names and forms, all by oneself, via one's own effort and inquiry and realization.

There is no doubt that, "The truth is always what it is, or the dhamma cannot be contaminated by anything," however, Siddhartha Gautama Buddha knew that the teachings or the dhamma that are being documented and conserved under certain names and forms, and which will be studied, propagated, interpreted, or translated by the minds that are not free from ignorance, egoism, impurities, and restlessness, will definitely be contaminated/misinterpreted/mistranslated/manipulated by the minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, as well as under certain impure intentions/aspirations/ambitions/visions, and hence, he emphasized on not having the teachings/the dhamma to be conserved/documented under any form, but only giving certain guidelines/observations for activating the mind purification and silencing process, where all and everyone must perform self inquiry to attain direct self realization towards the truth of all kinds of names and forms, or the dhamma, under a purified and calmed mind.

Buddhism is not at all about building and empowering leadership to be leading a group of followers or admirers.

Do not follow, admire, or glorify anyone and anything, not to say, do not blind-believe, blind-follow, blind-agree/disagree, blind-practice, blind-glorify, and blind-propagate anyone and anything.

All must learn how to purify and quiet the restless impure egoistic mind stuff, and to perform self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of all and everything, including all kinds of 'buddhism' teachings under certain names and forms coming from anywhere and anyone. And hence, the highly importance of, "Thus as I heard" in front of all kinds of Buddhism teachings from anywhere and anyone.

During the first hand direct teachings coming from Siddhartha Gautama Buddha himself unto anyone, he taught all and everyone to inquire the truth of all and everything under a purified and calmed mind, including all and everything that came directly from him, not to say, all kinds of documented/translated/interpreted teachings that are most probably contaminated by worldly egoistic ideas, beliefs, values, practices, desires, ambitions, and intentions, in order to attain direct self realization towards the truth of everything (the dhamma), all by oneself, via one's own effort, inquiry, and realization, including everything that he taught to the people during his momentary life existence. He didn't and never claimed and taught to the people, "I have realized the truth. This is the truth. You must believe that this is the truth. If you don't believe in this truth, and if you have any doubt or questioning towards this truth, then it is disrespectful and insulting towards the truth and the teachers, which is really bad karma, and you will be punished, and you will suffer."

The truth of things is not a belief. The truth is still what it is, it doesn't change into something else, it is timeless, it cannot be contaminated, or altered, or damaged, or hurt, or insulted, and it never increase or decrease, regardless of the different minds thinking and reasoning under different beliefs about whether they know or don't know, agree or disagree, believe or disbelieve, practice or don't practice towards this or that about all and everything.

The teachings and practice of Buddhism and Yoga, is about engaging in the mind purification process of annihilating the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness (the veil of ignorance) to be contemplating upon and inquiring towards Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self in all kinds of names and forms, to attain direct self realization towards the teachings or the dhamma.

There is not any infinite immortal self identity that is permanent and independent existing in all kinds of selfless sentient living beings or non-living objects to be undergoing selfless impermanent changes, not to say, to be undergoing "ceaseless reincarnations" of the one same permanent independent infinite individual identity to be reincarnating into another life form or life existence, or into many different life forms or life existences under different names and forms, transitioning in different realms or spheres.

However, there is neither right nor wrong with the specific beliefs and values in particular community that gives rise to 'the traditional practice' of ceaseless intentional 'organized' reincarnations of an important 'specific individual identity of a highly important and influential leader' under specific reason/intention/aspiration/vision, where there will be repeatedly 'a chosen one' that 'has been chosen' by the existing particular leader before the end of this mortal momentary life existence, as well as that 'will be found and identified' by the committee members of the community after the death of that particular leader, to be carrying the highly important duty and responsibility of upholding the influential power of leadership under the one same individual identity, that gives certain degrees of continuous power of leadership, guidance, comfort, and encouragement to that community that had and has been undergoing certain ongoing difficulties physically, mentally, and emotionally for a prolonged extended period, after the death or ceased existence of each and every limited and conditional mortal life existence of 'the one same identity of that particular influential leader', that keeps coming back in another life existence to be continuously leading, guiding, comforting, and encouraging the majority of the community that are 'non-independent', that are highly dependent on a leader, that always 'need to have a leader' to be there, to lead, to guide, to comfort, and to encourage them, and to keep reminding them about non-violence, calmness, and compassion.

Obviously, this practice is not perfect. Because the community were never being taught to be independent, that they always 'not only need a leader or any leader', but even more so, they need to depend on 'that specific leader of one particular identity' to 'keep coming back in another life existence', to continuously leading and guiding the community for endless generations.

It didn't and doesn't help the community to be free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance. 

It didn't and doesn't stop the presence of fear, anger and hatred, or insecurity, bitterness and resentment towards certain individual/people/community/authority, in the majority of the community that are not free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

It didn't and doesn't help the community to be practicing the teachings of Buddhism as it is, to work diligently towards the attainment of direct self realization towards the dhamma, to be free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, which is all about to be free from all kinds of worldly egoistic individual and group attachments and identifications that attaching towards and identifying with the many different kinds of qualities of names and forms that are non-self, that are not 'I' or 'mine', that are not 'us' or 'ours', that are not who or what they are, as well as to be letting go the past affairs/events/happenings/experiences, including all that are pleasant, desirable, and agreeable, not to say, especially the ones that are being perceived as undeserving, unpleasant, painful, fearful, sorrowful, hurtful, traumatic, undesirable, and disagreeable. But instead, this practice has been either intentionally or unintentionally empowering egoistic attachment and identification towards all kinds of names and forms that the community have been identifying with as who and what they are, as well as where they belong to and what belongs to them, and what had happened, or has been happening, or is happening unto their community.

Even so, there is neither right nor wrong in this particular practice, as there are many minds that need to be dependent on a 'wise and compassionate' leader to lead and comfort them in this selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence that has so much unnecessary evitable suffering deriving from ignorance, on top of the existence of certain inevitable suffering just by being existing momentarily, selflessly, impermanently, limitedly, and conditionally, that is non-self, and that needs constant maintenance.

There is always the sense of fear, anger and hatred, or insecurity, bitterness and resentment, in all and everyone in the community that are still not free from the influence of ignorance, regardless of older or younger generations, that are directing towards specific individual or community and authority, which only will be empowering the ignorance and the by-products of ignorance in both parties.

Instead, they all can be free to be what they are and wherever they are, by developing correct understanding or wisdom that lead to unconditional peace in themselves, where they are free from egoistic attachment and identification towards any qualities of names and forms, as well as what is happening in NOW, not to say, whatever that had happened in the past, not being determined or disturbed by the ignorance and the consequences of ignorance of others, and they will no longer need to have a leader to lead them, guide them, comfort them, and encourage them, not to say, the need to have one particular leader that had already ceased existing, but had no choice to 'keep organizing' ceaseless reincarnations of its 'specific identity' in order for the non-independent community to always have a 'wise and compassionate' leader for them to be following, to be guided, to be comforted, and to be encouraged.

The chosen one, regardless of who it is (as it really doesn't matter), upon attaining certain degrees of correct understanding towards the importance of non-violence, calmness, and compassion under the teachings of Buddhism, after practicing the teachings of buddhism from young diligently, as well as learning all and everything about that specific individual identity and the highly important duty and responsibility that was given to him, which he is carrying on his shoulders since the moment of being identified as 'the chosen one', he can only teach, guide, and advice the community as much as possible, about non-violence, calmness, and compassion, to keep away from the engagement in activity or interaction that involved violence, under any conditions and situations, no matter what had happened and what is happening. And it is up to the community whether they understand, or not, and whether they can let go, or not.

If the community can understand and can let go, and move on independently, be free from all kinds of attachments and identifications, regardless of what had happened and what is happening, then there is needless of the 'repeating' existence of 'the chosen one' that has to be one of them (because of the intense egoistic attachment and identification, 'the chosen one' has to be someone from within their own particular community, or else, the community under the influence of ignorance will not have the same faith towards 'the chosen one' that is not one of them), to continue carrying that specific identity, duty, and responsibility of leading, guiding, comforting, and encouraging the majority of the community that are under the influence of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

If the majority of the community cannot understand and cannot let go, and are not free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, where they perceived the suffering of being the victims of constant bullying, oppression, intimidation, and violence, where the majority of the community continuously need to have not only a leader or any leader, but that specific influential 'wise and compassionate' leader of that specific identity that 'has been reincarnated' many times in different life existences within that particular community, to be there continuously to lead them, guide them, comfort them, and encourage them, to constantly and continuously reminding them about non-violence, calmness, and compassion, to avoid or minimize the engagement in activity or interaction that involved violence as much as possible, then there is neither right nor wrong for continuing that 'traditional practice' of intentional 'organized' ceaseless reincarnations of a 'specific individual identity carrying a huge duty and responsibility' that has certain influential power over the community, even if it didn't, and doesn't help the community to be free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

The minds that truly practice and understand towards the teachings of Buddhism or the dhamma, they are independent and are resting in unconditional peace, being undetermined or undisturbed by the ignorance and the consequences of ignorance of others, devoid of disturbs, hurts, painful sorrow, fear, anger, hatred, insecurity, bitterness, resentment, or violence, under any conditions and situations, being free from egoistic attachment, identification, craving and aversion, judgment, or expectation. They don't need to have a leader or any leader to lead them, guide them, comfort them, or encourage them.

Not being determined or disturbed by the ignorance and the consequences of ignorance of others, or under the presence of wisdom and compassion or non-violence, or the practice of non-grasping/non-attachment/non-identification/non-craving/non-aversion/non-judgment/non-expectation, it doesn't mean that one doesn't or shouldn't move away from any abusive ill treatments of others, or one should receive all kinds of abusive ill treatments in silence, or one shouldn't or doesn't perform selfless actions that will free oneself and maybe some others from continuously be treated with abusive ill treatments by those who are under the influence of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

Inquire the truth of everything, including all that is here.

Focus and live in NOW

Both the teachings of yoga and buddhism emphasized on be present and focus in NOW, or living in the present moment, by letting go of the past and the future, focusing at what is here in the present moment, without attachment/identification/association or grasping, without craving or aversion, and without judgment or expectation.

Upon the mind realizes and understands towards the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self in all kinds of names and forms, or attains direct realization towards the one same universal consciousness that is timeless, changeless, beginningless, endless, attributeless, nameless, and formless beyond all kinds of names and forms, then naturally and effortlessly, this mind will be living in NOW, resting upon the selfless universal consciousness, being aware of all these while not being determined or disturbed by all these, where it is free from being determined or disturbed by the past pleasant and unpleasant experiences, towards its own imperfection/limitation and/or other's imperfection/limitation, even if it's something existing/happening in the present moment NOW, not to say, something that existed/happened in the last moment, or in the last few seconds/minutes/hours/days/weeks/months/years ago, and free from fear and worry towards the unknown or uncertainty, or the future that doesn't exist in NOW.

This mind is devoid of craving and aversion towards what it is experiencing in the present moment NOW, without attachment towards the existing pleasant and unpleasant experiences.

It is devoid of craving towards the past pleasant experiences that are not existing or don't exist in the present moment.

It is devoid of aversion towards the past unpleasant experiences that are not existing or don't exist in the present moment.

It is devoid of craving towards experiencing pleasant experiences that are not existing or don't exist in the present moment.

It is devoid of aversion towards experiencing unpleasant experiences that are not existing or don't exist in the present moment.

The past (experiences/happenings/events/affairs) cannot be undone.

The future is merely some imaginations/anticipations, that doesn't and cannot exist in NOW. 

It is always NOW. There is only NOW. And it is changing.

The mind that understands this, it will know that there is no 'previous life' and 'next life', or 'past many lives' and 'future many lives' of a permanent independent infinite individual self existence that doesn't exist.

There is only this selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary life existence of this selfless impermanent body and mind that is undergoing ceaseless changes, that also gives rise to ceaseless new beginning of a new life of this selfless impermanent body and mind, new opportunity, and new possibility in every moment, allowing the selfless mind to be learning/inquiring/understanding towards all these selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self manifestation, in NOW.

The countless lives of ceaseless births and deaths transitioning/reincarnating in different realms are merely the reflection of the impermanent changes of the impermanent condition of the body and the impermanent state of the mind in NOW, of countless selfless cells forming, growing, ceased growing, regenerating, new cells replacing old cells, and then decaying and disintegrating, until the entire selfless bodily structure ceased functioning and existing, where there is a continuous stream of the idea of 'I' ceaselessly arising and passing away (existence and ceased existence/birth and death of every single idea/thought/feeling/emotion, and ceaselessly changing in between arising and passing away/birth and death) in the modification of the mind, under different shapes/names/forms/conditions/qualities, transitioning under different states of mind (different realms within the selfless impermanent limited and conditional modification of the mind).

Reincarnations and realms are not something that exist outside this life, this body, and this mind, or something that exist somewhere else before the beginning of this life and after the end of this life, or in some other time and space and causation, or in some other existence in some other sphere/world/universe.

Ceaseless births and deaths of countless selfless cells and ceaseless reincarnations of the countless idea of 'I' transitioning in different realms exist in NOW, in this selfless body, in this selfless mind, that is constantly changing under different conditions and states.

The life of this selfless body and mind, is only in NOW, being maintaining in NOW, constantly changing in NOW, and decaying in NOW, until it ceased functioning and existing in NOW.

That is also why this momentary life existence under the presence of conscious mind awareness that enables conscious mind evolution, is extremely precious, even though it is selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, non-self, momentary, and extremely fragile. Because it can cause constructive or destructive behavior. It can contribute peace or unrest into the surrounding environment.

What the mind thinks, acknowledges, recognizes, and identifies as what and who am 'I', or the idea of 'I' identifying as this and not that, only exists in NOW, it doesn't exist beyond NOW, or before and after NOW, and there is a continuous stream of countless idea of 'I' constantly arising, changing, and passing away - impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

A happy and calmed and contented 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An unhappy and agitated and discontented 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An angry violent suffering disturbed 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A peaceful and joyful 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A kind and generous and unselfish 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An evil and stingy and selfish 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A prideful jealous 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A shameful inferior low self-worth 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An arrogant superior 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A grieving sorrowful 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A hurtful destructive 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A helpful constructive 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An offensive and defensive 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. And so on.

Endless idea of 'I' under different condition/quality/state/shape/name/form arising, changing, and passing away transitioning/inter-changing in different realms in NOW, between the realms or states of peaceful heaven (calmness and kindness/wisdom and compassion), sphere of aggressive violent Asura (violence, cruelty, jealousy, anger, and hatred), sphere of hungry ghost (discontentment, greed, possessiveness, selfishness, fear, and endless desire and craving), sphere of humanity (engagement in higher conscious evolution transcending basic survival instinct), sphere of animal (engagement in lower conscious evolution functioning under basic survival instinct), or painful suffering hell (ignorance and consequences of ignorance). All states are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, non-self, and momentary.

All kinds of reincarnations in different realms are ceaselessly manifesting/inter-changing in the selfless restless impure modification of the mind, until the annihilation of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, or complete Silence of the modification of the mind, takes place.

There is neither past continuous nor future continuous permanent independent infinite self existence of 'I'. 

There are only ceaseless momentary limited and conditional ideas of 'I' that keeps arising, changing, and passing away, that only exists in the form of thinking, or thought, or idea, in the selfless modification of the mind in NOW.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional body doesn't belong to this idea of 'I', and vice versa.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional mind doesn't belong to this idea of 'I', and vice versa.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence of this body and mind doesn't belong to this idea of 'I', and vice versa.

Non-self.

If it is 'I', 'I' should be able to have full control over 'I' (the thinking/the body/the mind/the life existence) to be exactly as how 'I' desire 'I' to be, but none of these is 'I', and none of these belong to 'I', as there is no permanent independent infinite individual self existence of 'I' in all these names and forms.

There is only the selfless timeless universal consciousness beyond all kinds of names and forms, that is undetermined, undisturbed, uncontaminated, unaffected, undamaged, or unhurt by the impermanent changes in all kinds of names and forms that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, non-self, and momentary. 

All and everything in NOW is constantly changing under ceaseless activities or movements as well as under the function of memory (remembering the past) and imagination (projecting the future), generates the false impression of time, as well as the past (memories/younger/better or worst) and the future (imaginations/older/better or worst).

Live in NOW.

There is no fear and worry.

There is no anger and hatred.

There is no hurt and resentment.

There are only countless new beginnings, new opportunities, and new possibilities following each thought/feeling/emotion/understanding/experience or state of mind arising, changing, and passing away, for this selfless impermanent body and mind to be learning/inquiring/understanding/independent, or not, to be wise or ignorant, to be doing something constructive or destructive, that give rise to respective consequences of actions.

Make good use of this selfless impermanent life existence to benefit all and everyone, when the body and mind is still existing and functioning, when the conscious selfless awareness, conscious selfless evolution, and conscious selfless actions are still available and possible.

The mind will realize all these, upon the annihilation of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, or upon Silence of the restless mind, takes place.

Purify. Meditate. Inquire. Realize.

Inquire the truth of everything. Attain direct self realization.

Do not blind-believe, blind-follow, blind-practice, or blind propagating anything from anyone, from anywhere and everywhere, including all that is here.

The selfless impermanent mind and the selfless attributeless timeless universal consciousness

All selfless minds are uniquely different from one another under the different qualities of names and forms, genetic traits, personalities, conditions, abilities, disabilities, limitations, experiences, internal and external elements conditioning influences, ways of thinking, reasoning, understanding, ideas, beliefs, values, desires, intentions, inspirations, aspirations, behaviors, actions, reactions, energy level, states of mind, and conscious/unconscious evolution or selfless impermanent changes, that are limited, conditional, and non-self.

Meanwhile, 

The selfless

attributeless (without qualities)

nameless and formless (untouched by time, space, and causation)

timeless (permanent, infinite, and changeless)

universal consciousness

that enables all the different selfless minds to be existing and functioning as what they are, to be conscious or aware of all these in NOW, regardless of the many diverse differences,

is the ONE same consciousness in all and everyone and everything.

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x 

The selfless minds might be consciously and intentionally thinking, behaving, acting, and reacting ignorantly and hurtfully or wisely and kindly under the selfless conscious awareness deriving from the selfless universal consciousness.

The selfless universal consciousness is neither ignorant nor wise, neither hurtful nor kind.

The selfless minds might be calmed or agitated, pure or impure, prideful or shameful, peaceful or restless, enjoying or suffering.

The selfless universal consciousness is neither calm nor agitated, neither pure nor impure, neither prideful nor shameful, neither peaceful nor restless, neither enjoying nor suffering.

 

The limited and conditional existence and function of the selfless body and mind is undergoing inevitable selfless impermanent changes and are perishable, can be damaged, hurt, and destroyed, and will disintegrate and ceased functioning and existing, under a limited and conditional duration of existence, under the influence of cause and effect.

The selfless minds are having different personalities and behavior patterns, and its selfless modification/function/mechanism can be corrupted or non-corrupted.

The selfless minds desire to control all and everything.

Meanwhile, 

The selfless universal consciousness is attributeless, changeless, timeless, beginningless, endless, infinite, limitless, unconditional, or untouched by cause and effect/births and deaths/existence and non-existence/impermanent changes/qualities.

It pervades all and everything (conscious/non-conscious living organisms and non-living objects), while it doesn't belong to anyone or anything, and neither do all and everything belong to it. Just as the child is coming from the parents, but the child doesn't belong to the parents, and vice versa.

It is undetermined, uninfluenced, unaffected, uncontaminated, undamaged, unhurt, or indestructible by anything.

It doesn't control anything. 

The minds ceaselessly behave/act/react under the different non-conscious autonomous instinctive urges, as well as under the different states of mind, of different conscious ideas, understanding, reasoning, knowledge, intelligence, experiences, conditions, situations, intentions, inspirations, aspirations, and desires that give rise to the consequences of behaviors/actions/reactions, and hence, being limited, conditioned, or bound by cause and effect. Each and every single mind is indeed has its own cause and effect to be what it is, and is responsible for all its actions and the consequences of its actions during its momentary selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function.

Meanwhile, 

The selfless universal consciousness, or the selfless silent witness of all kinds of selfless manifestations, is thoughtless, actionless, intentionless, desireless, or attributeless, and is unlimited, unconditioned, or untouched by cause and effect, and is undetermined, unaffected, uncontaminated, or unhurt by the selfless manifestation of all kinds of names and forms that come and go in this unlimited infinite space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything. Just as all thoughts/feelings/emotions are existing under the existence and function of the mind powered by the selfless energy and elements, but the thoughts/feelings/emotions don't belong to the mind and/or the selfless energy or elements, and vice versa.

 

The mind is not 'I'. The body is not 'I'. All kinds of qualities, traits, personalities, conditions, abilities, disabilities, limitations, experiences, elements, influences, ideas, thinking, beliefs, values, behaviors, actions, reactions, ignorance, realization, and evolution or impermanent changes, are not 'I'.

There is no permanent independent infinite self existence of 'I' existing in all kinds of names and forms to be identifying with anything.

Even though there is no permanent independent infinite self existence of 'I' that exists in the body and mind to be the performer of actions, or to be responsible for the actions and consequences of actions, but the selfless thinking and acting mind that exists and functions under the selfless physical body is indeed the one that is responsible for all its ceaseless actions/reactions consciously or unconsciously, wittingly or unwittingly, that give rise to the ceaseless consequences of actions/reactions, where the selfless body and mind is the one that is responsible for all its actions and the fruit of its actions.

Meanwhile, the selfless universal consciousness that pervades the selfless body and mind, that enables the mind to be conscious/aware of its actions and the fruit of its actions, is undetermined, unaffected, uncontaminated, unhurt, undamaged, or unchanged by the actions and the fruit of actions (the cause and effect) of the selfless body and mind.

Just as the body is suffering from food poisoning, as this body has eaten something that gives rise to food poisoning (the cause), and the body and mind is in painful suffering (the effect), however, there is no existence of a permanent independent infinite self existence in the body and mind that is undergoing that cause and effect. The selfless universal consciousness that enables the mind to be consciously aware of the painful suffering that exists due to the food poisoning, is untouched, unaffected, or unhurt by the food poisoning (the cause) or the painful suffering (the effect) that the body and mind is going through.

There is no permanent independent infinite self existence/identity of 'I' existing in all kinds of names and forms to be identifying with anything.

It is not even "I am the selfless universal consciousness" or "The selfless universal consciousness is the infinite I, or who and what I really am," because the mind (the idea/thinking/perception/recognition/acknowledgement of I/me/myself) is not the selfless universal consciousness that gives rise to the conscious awareness for the mind to be conscious/aware, to consciously think/perceive/recognize/acknowledge, and vice versa. Such as, the child is deriving from the parents, but the child is not the parents, and vice versa. The child cannot identify itself as, "I am my parents. My parents is I." Similarly, The parents cannot identify themselves as, "I am my child. My child is I."

There is not any idea or thought/thinking, not to say, the idea of 'I' existing in the selfless universal consciousness to be identifying with itself as "I am the selfless universal consciousness."

Such as a 'table' or a 'plant' doesn't identify itself as "I am a table," or "I am a plant," even though it has the existence and function as a 'table' or a 'plant'. Or, a 'dog' or a 'bird' doesn't identify itself as "I am a dog," or "I am a bird," even though it is existing and functioning under certain qualities of names and forms as what it is. However, under the influence of ignorance, the idea of 'I', and egoism, the minds in the human beings that are 'supposedly' highly intelligent and knowledgeable and civilized, are identifying themselves not only as 'human beings', but also with many kinds of identifications/names and forms/qualities/achievements/possessions as "I am this and that."

The one that thinks and identifies with this or not with that as "this is I" and "that is not I", that believes or disbelieves in this or that, that desires/behaves/acts/reacts in certain way or not in certain way, that is undergoing selfless impermanent changes of ceaseless births and deaths (ceaseless thoughts of different forms that ceaselessly arising and passing away) transitioning in different realms (impermanent states of mind), that is functioning under the presence or absence of ignorance, that is peaceful or peaceless, that is pure or impure, that is positive or negative, that is kind or unkind, that is selfish or unselfish, that is enjoying or suffering, that feels appreciated/satisfied/pleased/high self-esteem or hurt/offended/disturbed/low self-esteem, that perceives loneliness or meaninglessness, that perceives joyfulness and meaningfulness, that feels happy or unhappy, that feels superior or inferior, that performs good or evil action, and that receives the fruit of good or evil action, and etc, is merely the selfless thinking and acting faculty functioning under the selfless existence and function of the selfless physical body, where there is an idea of 'I' that has no real solid existence, but only exists in a continuous stream of ceaseless ideas or thoughts in the selfless modification of the mind, or the limited conditional mind stuff, powered by the selfless energy and elements.

 

Without the selfless energy and elements, what is the life existence of a body and mind? What is the modification/function/state of the mind? What is the limited and conditional life existence under ceaseless life maintenance? What is thinking, feelings, emotions, desires, actions, reactions? What is sights, sounds, smells, tastes, sensations? What is 'I'? What is the mind perception of a worldly life existence that is momentary, impermanent, non-self, limited, and conditional? What is pleasurable enjoyment and painful suffering? What is father, mother, brother, sister, friend, partner, children, community, country, race, tribe, gender, belief, values, good or evil, right or wrong, healthy or unhealthy, vegetarian or non-vegetarian, and all kinds of names and forms under different qualities?

Under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, all that are existing, and being what they are, or functioning as what they are, but if without the selfless conscious awareness, enabling the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting minds to be conscious/aware of all that, what is all that?

Without the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, there is nothing, not to say, a life existence and function of the body and mind.

Without the selfless conscious awareness, there is no conscious perception/experience of perceiving/experiencing a worldly life existence of names and forms, even if there might be some non-conscious autonomous instinctive activities or selfless impermanent changes/decay/disintegration happening in all kinds of physical structures or names and forms without the conscious mind awareness towards their selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary existence and function, and the surrounding environment.

 

The one who is consciously thinking/perceiving/experiencing/reasoning/inquiring/knowing/understanding/sensing/feeling/desiring/acting/reacting/remembering/imagining/peaceful/restless/attentive/non-attentive, and etc, that is consciously aware of its selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary existence and function or modification, as well as the surrounding environment, that is either knowing or being ignorant towards the truth of Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self, that perceives or experiences this or that, goodness or badness, happiness or unhappiness, satisfaction or dissatisfaction, enjoying or suffering, via the senses and the organs of the senses, that performs actions/reactions via the organs of actions/speech/expression, and that is searching for its 'original', 'real', and 'infinite' self identity, is merely the thought or the idea of 'I', that only exists in the form of thought/thinking/idea, that is limited, conditional, impermanent, and non-self, that doesn't and cannot exist, if without the existence and function of the mind under a body that is formed and powered by selfless energy and all kinds of elements.

And all those mind stuff don't exist or function as what they are, or the mind perception of a selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary worldly life existence doesn't exist as what it is, if without the selfless universal consciousness that enables the selfless mechanism of the mind to be conscious or aware, while existing and functioning under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements.

Even if there are some serious damages in the hardware of the selfless mechanism of the physical structure of the body and mind, where the body and mind is out of consciousness, or being unconscious, devoid of conscious awareness to be functioning consciously as what it is, and upon the body and mind completely ceased functioning and existing, the selfless universal consciousness is still there as it is, unchanged, never increase or decrease, never come or go.

Even the selfless energy and elements that enable all kinds of names and forms to be forming, changing, and disintegrating, are also limited, conditional, impermanent, and non-self.

The perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind, or the restless existence/function/mechanism/modification of the mind is merely a momentary existence and function of the limited and conditional names and forms, or a limited adjunct, it is not the selfless universal consciousness, and vice versa. The mind cannot identifies itself as, "I am the selfless universal consciousness" or "The selfless universal consciousness is I", or "I am That."

The selfless universal consciousness is not the names and forms, or the selfless universal consciousness is not the physical bodily structure, or the perceptive thinking mind, or the idea of 'I', or the thoughts/feelings/emotions, or the modification of the mind/the mind stuff, that are subject to existence and ceased existence, as well as ceaseless impermanent changes and maintenance in between existence and ceased existence, of restless births and deaths in different forms or conditions, in NOW.

The selfless body and mind and its selfless modification/function cannot and doesn't exist and function, if without countless individual selfless atoms/cells/neurons/neutrons/protons/electrons/systems/organs/senses/muscles/spinal column/skull/bones/joints/ligaments/tendons/fats/connective tissues/nerves/blood/blood vessels/glands/hormones/secretions/skin/hair/mouth/teeth/throat/stomach/liver/kidneys/spleen/pancreas/bladder/intestines/rectum/anus/reproductive organ/limbs/hands/feet/fingers/toes/nails/eyes/ears/nose/tongue, and etc, that work together to support the selfless existence and function of each other selflessly, under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, that are also impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

The selfless minds that realized this, they are resting (taking refuge) upon the selfless attributeless timeless universal consciousness during their momentary existence and function as what they are.

It is not the responsibility of the selfless universal consciousness towards all and everything being what they are, as they are, regardless of goodness or evilness, purity or impurity, constructive or destructive, peace or unrest, hurtfulness or kindness, wholesomeness or unwholesomeness, pleasurable enjoyment or painful suffering, the presence of ignorance or the absence of ignorance, and etc.

Just as the selfless body and mind is existing and functioning under the selfless support of the selfless energy and all kinds of elements, but the selfless body and mind is fully responsible towards looking after its own life maintenance and over-all well-being, not only under the ceaseless selfless function of the autonomous bodily systems (the heart is ceaselessly beating pumping blood throughout the body, the lungs are ceaselessly breathing extracting oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide, all cells are ceaselessly regenerating and repairing, and etc, selflessly and intentionlessly, even without the mind being conscious or aware of all that), but more so, under the conscious awareness and its conscious ceaseless learning/experiencing/reasoning and the accumulated knowledge or understanding, to minimize or stay away from injury, illness, danger, or harmful condition and situation, to optimize good health condition and life span, and be responsible towards all its actions/reactions and the fruit/consequences of its actions/reactions.

The selfless intentionless energy and elements are not responsible for how the selfless mind of a selfless body wants to do with its selfless impermanent life existence and function that cannot exist or function without the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements. The body and mind requires and uses the energy to be existing (living) and performing all kinds of actions that will give rise to the fruit/consequences of actions, it is not the responsibility of the energy towards what type of actions are being generated by the body and mind under certain desire or intention. The desire or intention and the type of actions/reactions is coming from the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind, not from the selfless intentionless energy. It is a very simple understanding.

Annihilate the idea of 'I' and egoism.

Silent the restless modification of the mind.

Negate all and everything of all kinds of selfless impermanent limited and conditional qualities of names and forms that are not 'I', and there is no 'I' existing in all kinds of names and forms to be identifying as 'this' or 'not that'.

What cannot be negated, that doesn't change, that doesn't pass away, that is always here, that never increase or decrease, that doesn't appear or disappear, that is unlimited and unconditional, even when all and everything are ceaselessly arising, changing, resting, and passing away or ceased existing in this infinite space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, is the selfless attributeless timeless universal consciousness.

Just as the infinite timeless space cannot be measured, so as the all pervading infinite selfless timeless universal consciousness.

Do not blind-believe, blind-follow, blind-practice, blind-agree/disagree, or blind-propagate. 

Inquire the truth of all and everything.

Attain direct self realization. 

The highly importance of solitude and seclusion or aloneness, under one's self-initiative, freewill, and desire

"Why the observation of solitude and seclusion or aloneness is highly important?"

That is because, during that few precious moments of being in the space of solitude, seclusion, or aloneness, under the absence of any other minds or beings, or the entire world, without physical/mental/emotional communication and interaction with any other minds (devoid of family/parents/siblings/relatives/friends/partner/children/communities/colleague/employer/employee/authority/rules and regulations/cultural and spiritual influences/worldly social ethical influences), one can be completely relaxed, opened, free, honest, and truthful, being what oneself is, allowing the selfless impermanent thoughts, feelings, and emotions being what they are, as they are, ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away, under the absence of association, attachment, identification, craving, aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation, under the absence of threats or punishments, devoid of unnecessary physical/mental/emotional tension, fear, limitation, restriction, dishonesty, untruthfulness, hypocrisy, pretentiousness, superiority or inferiority, pride or shame, good or bad, right or wrong, positive or negative, appropriateness or inappropriateness, meaningfulness or meaninglessness, selfishness or unselfishness, should or shouldn't, offensiveness or defensiveness, and etc.

That is highly essential for the selfless conscious and unconscious evolution to be evolving towards constructive evolution, where the selfless thinking and acting mind can have a few moments of tension-free, or judgment-free, or expectation-free, or undisturbed, or quiet, or peaceful state of mind, to attain direct self realization towards knowing Thyself, of knowing the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self in itself, in its selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function/modification/state of the mind, and in all kinds of names and forms and qualities, and hence, be free from ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, and the consequences of all that, of all kinds of painful mental and/or emotional disturbance or suffering, where there is absence of mental and/or physical activities/behaviors/actions/reactions that hurt oneself and others and the surrounding environment.

However, all that has to be initiated or happening under one's own self-initiative, out of one's own conscious freewill/desire/choice, and not by being forced/controlled/restricted/oppressed/punished/abandoned/outcast/discriminated by some others to be in a space of solitude, seclusion, or aloneness (confinement/imprisonment by forced), unwittingly and reluctantly, that go against one's conscious freewill/desire/choice, which only will agitate the mind even more violently, empowering impurities and restlessness, a.k.a. empowering the veil of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x 

Even though there is no other minds or beings and affairs that involved some others in that space of aloneness that will allow the mind to be free, to just be what it is, to think or don't think, to feel or don't feel, to do what it desires to do and not doing anything that it doesn't desire to do, devoid of comparison, judgment, expectation, control, interference, oppression, restriction, or punishment coming from some others impose unto oneself, the mind will still be unwittingly and continuously generating unnecessary tension.

Even though, in the space of aloneness, the mind doesn't need to please anyone or prove to anyone about anything, because there is none other but oneself. But then the mind thinks, "I don't need to please anyone or prove to anyone about anything, but I can, and I need to please myself and prove to myself that I can do this and that, I can achieve this and that, and I can be this or that."

Similarly, there is no other minds or beings and affairs that involved some others in that space of aloneness, for the mind to generate likes or dislikes, agreements or disagreements, or desires of craving or aversion towards other minds or beings and affairs that involved some others. But then the mind thinks, "There is no other minds or beings and affairs involved some others for me to generate likes or dislikes, agreements or disagreements, and desires or don't desires, but I can like or dislike, agree or disagree with, and desire or don't desire towards myself, my mind, my body, and the surrounding environment (that is without anyone else but myself) being in certain way or not in certain way."

Even though there is no presence of anyone else and there is not any disagreeable undesirable unpleasant affairs or disturbing hurtful behaviors of others in the surrounding environment of the space of aloneness that appeared to be the reason for the mind to think and believe and feel, "It is because of you all and all your behaviors and all the affairs that are bad, wrong, disturbing, and hurtful, that's why I am disturbed, unhappy, dissatisfied, upset, angry, restless, hurt, and suffering."

Then the mind thinks, "Even though there is nothing happening and there is no one here now that is bad, wrong, disturbing, and hurtful, that will make me feel disturbed, unhappy, dissatisfied, upset, angry, restless, hurt, or suffering, but how come I am still in a disturbed, unhappy, dissatisfied, upset, angry, restless, hurt, and suffering state of mind, when I remember and think about all those past experiences and the images of some others that had made me feel disturbed, unhappy, dissatisfied, upset, angry, restless, hurt, and suffering in the last few seconds/minutes/hours, or yesterday, or last week, or last month, or last year, or many years ago?"

That will initiate the mind to inquire and understand about what is going on in itself, or in the selfless impermanent restless modification of the mind.

It is not the others, or the happenings, or the experiences, in the present moment or in the past, that are making the mind feel disturbed, unhappy, dissatisfied, upset, angry, restless, hurt, or suffering, but it is how the mind reacts in this present moment now towards all and everything that it perceives/experiences in the present moment, as well as how it reacts in this present moment now towards what it remembers and thinks about what it has been perceiving/experiencing, or what it perceived/experienced, that it doesn't like, that it doesn't agree with, that it doesn't desire, that it recognized as something bad and wrong, unpleasant and hurtful, or disturbing and undeserving.

The self realization deriving from performing self inquiry to be inquiring towards what is going on in the mind by the mind itself, will allow the mind to take full responsibility towards all its thinking, feelings, emotions, desires, behaviors, actions, and reactions, and the consequences of all that.

If I do this, this is the consequences. Maybe pleasant and constructive. Maybe unpleasant and destructive.

If I don't do this, this is the consequences. Maybe pleasant and constructive. Maybe unpleasant and destructive.

This is something painful, harmful, and destructive, that I don't, and I won't inflict unto myself and/or others and the surrounding environment.

It is my own responsibility towards what I do and don't do, and towards the consequences of what I do and don't do.

It is my own responsibility towards how I feel or don't feel, and how I react or don't react towards all and everything that I perceive/experience and what I don't get to perceive/experience, that I like or dislike, that I agree or disagree with, and that I desire or don't desire.

All minds have the freedom to be what they are, and what all minds are (what and how they think, believe, feel, desire, behave, act, and react, or not) cannot determine this mind being what it is.

All and everyone and everything are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

A healthy, peaceful, and harmonious personal physical and mental well-being, family, relationship, community, or society begins with the minds under the presence of such universal understanding or common sense.

It is not about controlling all and everyone to behave or don't behave in certain way under the control with threats/temptations of judgment and punishment/reward.

It is about allowing all and everyone, regardless of the small children, or young people, or adults, or elders, to be open to inquire towards the truth of everything, and attain direct correct understanding.

Allow and guide all the young people and children to be open, to be self initiative, to be independent (not just physically or financially, but also mentally and emotionally), to doubt, to agree and disagree, to desire or don't desire, to question, to inquire, to make mistake out of ignorance (without being judged and punished), to learn from their own mistake, to develop reasoning power and have correct understanding, that lead to constructive behavior in oneself and in the diverse communities, effortlessly.

Respect the small children and young people, ask their opinion and permission, about everything, such as -

What do they think and feel or understand about themselves, their family, their parents, their siblings, their teachers, their classmates and schoolmates, their daily activities, their life, and the surrounding environment or the world that they perceive or experience?

Whether they want to do this and that, or not doing anything?

Whether they want to go here or there, or not going anywhere?

Whether they are hungry or thirsty, whether they want or don't want to eat or drink, and what or when they would like to eat or drink? Explain to them about the consequences of the different choices of food and drinks, while let them decide for themselves, and learn about responsibility and self independence.

Whether they are okay and happy, or not?

Whether they feel comfortable, safe, and at peace, or not?

Whether they are being disturbed or upset by something, or not?

And, if they are not okay and not happy, regardless of whether they understand or don't understand why they think and feel that they are not okay and not happy, ask their opinion and permission, about -

Whether they would like to be okay and be happy?

Whether they would like to have peace and peaceful happy relationship/interaction with all and everyone?

Whether they want to learn and know about something or anything, and if they want, what they would like to know or learn about?

Whether they want to be alone and have some privacy, to not communicate or interact with anyone for the time being? 

And, whether they want other people around them to be okay and be happy as well?

Allow them to express their thoughts, thinking, feelings and emotions, understanding and non-understanding, likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, or desires and don't desires, as they are, directly and honestly, without the tension of fear towards being judged, being criticized, being scolded, being punished, or being belittled/teased for being what they are, for non-understanding, for being ignorant, for making mistakes, for being direct and honest about expressing their thoughts or thinking, their feelings and emotions, their understanding and non-understanding/likes and dislikes/agreements and disagreements, and what they desire and don't desire.

Allow them to cry, to laugh, to be quiet, or to be active, to express themselves as they are. Let them learn how to allow the feelings and emotions being what they are, that there is neither right nor wrong, and understand that all are impermanent.

Allow them to recognize and understand about the impermanent level of low energy or high energy in their body and mind, and whether to take rest or to be active accordingly. Let them learn and understand about impermanence and non-self. Let them learn how to channel their excessive energy constructively.

Allow them to be open, to experience, to make mistake and learn from their own mistake, to doubt, to question, to inquire, and to understand towards what is going on in their mind, and whatever they perceive in the surrounding environment, and they don't have to blind-believe, blind-follow, blind-practice, blind-propagate anything from anyone, even if it's coming from their parents/elders/best friends/teachers, but to reason all and everything.

Allow them to learn how to become independent physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Allow them to develop physical/mental/emotional strength and flexibility, of patience, forbearance, perseverance, determination, adaptation, adjustment, accommodation, acceptance, letting go, non-attachment, non-identification, non-craving, non-aversion, non-clinging, non-comparison, non-judgment, and non-expectation, at their own pace, without forcing, out of their own freewill.

Allow them to be what they want to be, and not forcing them to be what they don't want to be.

Without fictional story telling, fairy tales, lies, untruthfulness, hypocrisy, politics, empty promises, fear sowing, threats, painful punishment, temptations, magic, miracle, or superstition. Let them see the world as it is, and develop reasoning power and right discrimination, without fear.

Without comparison, judgment, or expectation.

Without empowering egoistic ideas, attachment, and identification.

That they don't need to be somebody that possesses specific quality/condition/ability/achievement/pride to be happy and peaceful, or to be what they are, or to live life meaningfully.

That they don't need to please anyone or prove to anyone about anything, in order to attain love, attention, agreement, acknowledgement, approval, recognition, praise and compliment, or encouragement, to be what they are, to be happy and peaceful, or to live life meaningfully.  

That they don't need to rely on receiving love, attention, agreement, acknowledgement, approval, recognition, praise and compliment, or encouragement from some others or all the others, to be what they want to be, or to do what they want to do, or to live life as it is.

That they themselves have the freedom to be what they are, and what they want to be, to have their own way of thinking, belief/disbelief, values, practices, desires and don't desires, likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, understanding and don't understanding, behaviors, actions, and reactions, at their own responsibility, while allowing and respecting all the others also to be free to be what they are and what they want to be, to have their own way of thinking, belief/disbelief, values, practices, desires and don't desires, likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, understanding and don't understanding, behaviors, actions, and reactions, at their own responsibility.

But they don't need to be determined by the many different types of thinking, belief/disbelief, values, practices, desires and don't desires, likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, understanding and don't understanding, behaviors, actions, and reactions of all the others.

That they don't have to say yes to everything, and they can say no to something that they don't desire and disagree with.

That they can just do their best on what they can do and what they like to do, and do what is possible, without forcing or hurting themselves and/or others, and allowing the fruit of action to be what it is, that they are not being determined by the action and the fruit of action. It is okay that if they can't do something, or if it is not possible to do something, or if they didn't achieve what they wanted to achieve.

That they have the freedom to be what they are, to make their own choices, and to have their own desires and don't desires, and they are also being responsible towards the freedom of being what they are, their choice making, and their desires and don't desires, and be responsible towards the consequences of all that.

Allow them to learn how to look after themselves, and when they know how to look after themselves, they will also know how to look after all the others and the surrounding environment, naturally and efficiently.

Allow them to learn how to balance between activity and rest, to understand and respect the impermanent condition of the body and mind in the present moment now, to develop self management.

Once they know how to accept, respect, and be kind to themselves as they are, and have peace and happiness in themselves, under the presence of correct understanding or the absence of the idea of 'I' and egoism, not being determined or disturbed by all kinds of madness or ignorance in this world, then naturally, they will also know how to accept, respect, and be kind towards all the others, regardless of what and how all the others think, feel, behave, act, and react, or not.

Such minds won't hurt themselves, or others, or the surrounding environment, out of their own freewill and understanding, universal common sense, or conscience. Without obligation. Not because they have to. Not because they are being forced/threatened to behave or not behaving in certain way. Not because they need to please all and everyone and not offend or upset anyone.

Such children and young people will grow up into responsible understanding adults, friends, siblings, partners, lovers, parents, teachers, students, colleagues, members and/or leaders of the community or the world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

Inquire the truth of everything.
