There is no separate self. There is no not-self. It is
simply Unshaken, Absolute Self-Condition of Reality Itself,
Self-Existing and Self-Radiant.

You are not separate ego. No matter what
arises—waking, dreaming, or sleeping, no matter what
arises—you are the Witness of it, Prior to it, not
bound, not separate, the Only Condition that is
Self-Evident, that is non-separate and Indivisible. There is
no separate self. And there is no not-self. There is no
not-self to dissociate from by introversion. There is no
separate self to expand by extroversion.

Therefore, experiences are constantly sought in the
vertical planes of experience, above, below, and altogether
beyond, which will release the being from the inherent sense
of separation, vulnerability, fear, obsession, and self
possession. But there is no release until the primal error,
illusion, or lie at the root of the heart is undone.

 

The “world”-mummery of human ego-culture survives via the
perpetration and the perpetuation of three great myths.

The first great myth of human ego-culture is the myth of
separate “self” – which is the humanly-fabricated idea that
the living human “experiential” being is “rooted” in an
independent and definable “subjective” consciousness.

The second great myth of human ego-culture is the myth of
separate “world” -which is the humanly-fabricated idea that
the totality of everything “experienced” by the living human
being is “objectively” existing.

The third great myth of human ego-culture is the myth of
separate “Creator-God” – which is the humanly-fabricated
idea that both “self” and “not-self” are intrinsically
related to and dependent upon an “Absolute Other” that is
neither “self” nor “not-self”, but which is as an “other” to
both the “subjectively” apparent and the “objectively”
apparent conditions of human “experience”, and which is to
be referred to by symbolic “Names”, as well as by
conventional pronouns.

Based upon the humanly-projected coincidence of these
three great myths, human cultures are everywhere
“tribalized”, and, thus, functionally and entirely
subordinated to the ego-based mind that defines and divides
Reality Itself via and into the constructs of “self”,
“not-self”, and “Absolute Other”.

The globally-extended totality of present-day human
cultures is based upon the pervasive enforcement of the
three great human “tribal” myths of “self”, “not-self”, and
“Absolute Other”.

That globally-“tribalized” web of human acculturation has
produced a global collective of ego-cultures-or a complex
“world”-mummery of “self”-deluded, “self”-divided,
“self”-indulgent, “world”-suffering, and “Other”-haunted
ego-culture.

The “tribalization” of the human mind is made and done by
means of the universal enforcement of the three great myths
as “root”-ideas, or as the “root”-constructs of
“tribally”-required consciousness.

Therefore, all human beings are now living as
“tribally”-bound political, social, and cultural “subjects”,
of whom it is required that they actively subscribe to the
three great myths – or universally propagandized false and
all-and-All-limiting ideas-of human ego-culture.

It has happened that, in the difficult course of the
history of human ego-culture, the third of the three great
myths has become vulnerable to human doubt, question, and
testing.

Thus, the traditionally upheld “tribal” myth of the
separate and Absolute “Deity” has, for many human
individuals and collectives, become either totally
unacceptable or ambiguous as a category of “belief” and
“knowledge”.

What I Propose to all-and-All is that all three of the
traditionally upheld “tribal” myths be equally and
simultaneously subjected to human doubt, question, and
testing.

If all three of the great myths of human ego-culture are
equally and simultaneously inspected, not only will all
three of those great myths prove to be intrinsically and
utterly false and illusory, but the globally-extended
“world”-mummery of human ego-culture will, as a totality,
lose its conceptual foundation, its “internal” urge
and necessity, and its ability to captivate and control
humankind – and, as a consequence, the disastrously suffered
“world”-mummery of human ego-culture will disintegrate and
pass away.

In the necessary “world”-event of the disintegration and
the passing away of global human ego-culture, an entirely
new human “world”-culture must emerge.

The new human “world”-culture and human “world”-order –
which must even immediately and now emerge and forever
hereafter perpetuate itself – is the globally-extended human
“world”-culture and human “world”-order of intrinsically
egoless right-life-participation in the Perfectly Subjective
Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality
Itself.

Therefore, the living human “experiential” being is
intrinsically non-separate-or intrinsically, and
dependently, and indivisibly of a prior unity and whole.

As such, the living human “experiential” being is, at
“root”, intrinsically and self-evidently egoless – or
intrinsically and thoroughly without any conditionally
defining “central” “root”-characteristic.

The living human “experiential” being is not “centered”
in an independent “inner self”, “mind”, “psyche”, “soul”,
“embodiment”, “location”, or “point of view”.

The living human “experiential” being is, at “root”,
intrinsically at the “zero-point” of the Perfectly
Subjective Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of
Reality Itself.

The living human “zero-point”-being is a non-separate and
psycho-physically participatory pattern-process within the
total system, or universally-extended unity of
pattern-process, of all-and-All that conditionally
arises.

The universal totality of all-and-All of conditionally
arising appearances, including all “zero-point” human
beings, is intrinsically at and of the One, intrinsically
standing prior to mind itself and standing prior to all
ideas, including “Deity”-myths, ideas of “Absolute Other”,
and all use of “Deity”-referencing pronouns.

The Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of
Reality Itself Is egoless and Intrinsically, Perfectly, and
Self-Evidently Divine.

Reality Itself Is the Perfectly Subjective “Zero-Point”
of all-and-All that conditionally arises.

Right life, thus egolessly and whole bodily
participatory, is the intrinsically non-“tribalized”, and
intrinsically and altogether free basis for the new human
“world”-culture – or the Reality-Based integrated system and
always prior unity of global cooperative order – I Propose
to all of humankind.
