Exploring the Concept of Being, Self, and Non-Duality

The pure SHELL, which is also referred to as Pure Awareness, transcends the concept of being. The term being is generally associated with a living organism, specifically a being with a body-mind complex which is confined to a particular existence.

The duality theory was conceived by the Bishops under the pagan Emperor Constantine, reducing humanity from the trinity of body, soul, and spirit to a binary understanding of body and soul. Consequently, the world is perceived through dualities such as hot and cold, but this is a misunderstanding. The world truly embodies a trinity of hot, cold, and warm states.

Self and being are synonymous, which is also synonymous with Brahman, the absolute reality. Existence, being, what-is, is the Self or Brahman. It is simpler to remember that Brahman alone exists, and there is no other.

The concept of being is essentially a form of No-self, which is synonymous with Shunya (void). As long as there are distinctions like 'I', 'ME', and 'MYSELF', a distance exists between the known and the unknown. However, once one jumps into the unknown, they will inevitably reach the other shore, symbolizing the concept of here and now.

Understanding the Difference Between Being and Self

A being is an entity that exists, distinct from a self, which is a mental construct produced by the human brain. The value of this distinction lies not in the answer but in the recognition of the fallacy of attempting to name or label the essential nature of existence.

The significance of this inquiry is not in the resolution but in noticing the mistaken belief that any value lies in finding the "correct" names for the One Reality, Being, Wholeness, The Self, Oneness, and Non-duality. The apparent manifestation, the world, the dream, Maya, illusion, and the apparent individual, the illusory self, the Higher self, the 'little self', the body-mind jiva, etc., are all forms and ficators. True freedom lies in the unknown and unspeakable, not in converging on form and formula labels and doctrines, even paths and scriptures.

Reconciliation and Enlightenment

Reconciling the difference between Being, Self, and Non-duality does not bring one closer to dissolving in Being, Self, and Non-duality. Understanding does not guarantee enlightenment. It is essential to let go of all characterizations and forge your own non-path. Trust only in your own direct experience. Each of us, no-selves, are uniquely experienced. Each of us is an experience of Nothing, Being, Everything, a concept that is just another concept.

Enlightenment truly lies in the dissolution of all forms and fictions, in the freedom to be. Let them all go and just Be.
