Physically, I Do Exist, Psychologically, I Do Not

**Note: Truth does not always sound pleasant. If the mind is not really peaceful now, it might not be a perfect moment to listen to this podcast, one has to be aware of the emotions or reactions that can block one from listening attentively and with humility.

This talk is a meditation practice. What one needs to do is listen attentively, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, not agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

Psychologically,

There is no past at all.

Where there is a past psychologically,

There is a future.

The mind based on the past through today creates a future to imagine,

To escape into.

My past is horrible.

My future will be better.

Can we see this dilemma?

The self creating the past also creating the future.

The future are also the thoughts.

The future is only a modified version of the past.

It is still in the same process of the self-deception,

Self-worship.

And such a life has no connection with this moment.

It keeps missing this moment.

What a pity,

Isn't it?

To live a life beautifully,

Simply,

Reasonably,

Thinly,

One has to see the mischief,

The havoc created by the self,

The me,

That negate the me totally,

Immediately.

Physically,

I do exist.

Psychologically,

I don't.

Until then,

When the self is totally absent,

Thoughts can stay in the right place.

Everything becomes simple.

The energy is no longer visited on the thoughts,

Ruminations.

When all these energies are saved,

When the mind are living moment by moment.

This energy is your passion for life,

Your compassion for everybody.

And such a passion and compassion shows in every gesture,

Every thought,

Every word,

And such a life,

Which is not only peaceful,

But also joyful,

Because it is full of beauty.

Passion is to awaken,

To have this clarity for the existence.

It's to root out the self,

Which is the only source for all mental challenges,

For all the human issues on this planet.

From the climate change,

Pollution,

War,

All kinds of daily issues.

They are all the consequence of the self,

The ego,

This perpetual confusion created by the self itself.
