The No-Self Experience

               Proof that We are All ONE


"THANK YOU. My life will never be the same. Thank you for clarifying it and distilling it. It's all that was needed to crack open the realization...."
                                                                                                  -Rich


"I was so astonished by what had happened. I'm truly thankful, from the bottom of my being, for what you have taught me. It is so beautiful and simple."
                                                                                                                             -Ken


The No-Self experience does not require you to believe in it for it to be true. IT IS TRUTH. And, once you see the Truth of it, you will have the experience of it.  
  

This is not a joke. It is real. 

 

You will know when you’ve had the experience. There will be no doubt.
 

Some have already experienced this phenomenon and more will follow. Those who have experienced it recognize the term “no-self” (even if they don’t refer to it by that label). There is a major shift occurring. A new paradigm.

 


What’s this going to cost (once I read all of this)?


Everything on this website is free (including the e-Book).  

 

Why are you doing this?


Love for you. You are my brothers and sisters. In fact, you are much more than that.  :) 

   

What’s the point of it?

 

I know what it’s like to experience pain and suffering. I know what it’s like when life drops you to your knees and you cry out for relief.   

There IS a way out of the pain and suffering. Realize though, this experience doesn’t immediately vanquish all pain and suffering. However, it opens a “door” that sets you upon a pathway that can eventually lead you to:

-True Joy
-Unconditional Love
-Peace of mind
-Fulfillment
-The opportunity to overcome fear

-Your unique purpose for being here
  

Remember though, these things are obtained somewhere along YOUR OWN tailor-made pathway. The “door” is just the beginning.  

Direct Experience

The No-Self phenomenon will reveal the Truth of Who You Really Are because you will have DIRECT EXPERIENCE of it.   

It's difficult to deny the Truth of something when you have direct experience of it.  Once the experience “takes hold” of you, you'll have your own verifiable proof. The phrase “takes hold” is used because that’s what it feels like for some. It’s not a physical “taking hold” as much as a mental one.
 

Before it hits you, you’ll start to feel strange and perhaps somewhat tingly. I won’t elaborate further at this point because every person’s experience is different.
 

Before we begin, I know there are a lot of you who might think that this is “crazy” or a "bad joke”. So, to add credibility to what I say, you should know that Jim Carrey (comedian) has had the No-Self experience. 


Here is a YouTube clip describing his experience:

[Note: Again, keep in mind, your experience may not be exactly like Jim’s.] 



Triggering the Experience   (Content Updated 03/2014)


Ok, let’s begin. (You should be alone and probably allow at least 40 minutes to do this) 

 

There will be a series of things for you to do, ponder, or read through. If you really want the experience, you need to take your time and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. Remember, you don’t have to believe anything. However, you do have to follow what is said (especially when you're told to ponder something).

Also, DON'T SKIP AROUND because the power of the words may be lost.

Take your time and read it through to the end. 

[Note: As you read through this material, be aware that your ego may resist somewhat by responding: “This won’t work for me”, “I don’t have time to mess with this”, “Nothing’s happening”, etc.] 

 

First of all, what we’re trying to do is initiate the experience by utilizing several different 'triggers'. Therefore, don't worry if you don't resonate with a particular section provided. 

With that in mind, ask yourself the following question-

         Question:    What is the “YOU” that you think you are?
   


1) “Well, clearly, I consist of my personality traits, my body, my soul, my mind, etc.”  

 

Mirror Exercise 

Imagine that you’re looking into one of your mirrors at home. However, you’ve just taken an “invisibility pill” and you’re completely invisible. Take a look at the mirror and observe the details of the mirror and the wall that the mirror is hanging on. Furthermore, notice the back of the room as it appears in the reflection of the mirror. Again, because you’re completely invisible, you can see the back of the room through the mirror.  

 

Now imagine that your vocal chords have been severed and you can’t speak. So now, you’re completely invisible and you can’t speak. 

 

What happened to your personality traits?  

 

Are “YOU” still out-going, boring, guarded, shy, self-confident, modest, secretive, friendly, vain, immature, courteous, rebellious, generous, lazy, cheap, aloof, etc.? 

 

What happened to “YOU”? You’re the same “YOU” (only now you're invisible and can’t talk).  

 

Your personality is simply a mental construct. It is a phantom. It is an illusion. “YOU” (and parents, society, etc.) have constructed it to define who you think “YOU” are. It’s composed of mere beliefs and judgments about who “YOU” are.


Multiple Personality Disorder 

 

Consider the case of multiple personality disorder. Do two ‘YOU’s exist in a person with two personalities? You may say, “Maybe this person only has one real personality and one fake personality.” Ok, so which one is the real one?  

 

The truth is that BOTH have been constructed with the mind. The difference between us and them is that they’ve mentally constructed TWO personalities and we’ve only constructed ONE.


Consider the following hypothetical situation

Little Susie (5 years old) is in the process of constructing her personality. Her mom tells her that she is a "good" girl. Her dad tells her that she is a "bad" girl. Since her dad is the more powerful influence on her, she takes herself to be a "bad" girl.

Susie's mom tells her that she is smart. Her dad tells her that she's just plain stupid. Again, she is more influenced by her dad because he is more forceful, etc. Thus, she begins to see herself as stupid.

At school, all the other kids think that Susie is extremely funny. All the kids laugh with her. Her dad doesn't think she is funny at all, in fact, he thinks she's dull. She again takes this to be the truth about her.

SO, IS THIS TRUE ABOUT HER?  Is Susie bad, stupid, and dull? Over time, SHE thinks so. Her DAD also thinks so. BUT, IS IT TRUE?

NO, it is simply a mental construct created through conditioning and repetitive programming. They are simply opinions (beliefs). They are illusory. They are not real. Would it matter if Susie thought she was good, smart, and funny?  No, it's still a creation of her mind. It doesn't make it true.

“YOU” are not your personality.  

 
What is the “YOU” that you think you are?   



2) “Ok, fine, I’m my body, my soul, my mind.” 

Yes, “YOU” have a body. However, your body is autonomous. It can function on its own. It doesn’t need a “YOU” to breathe, supply oxygen to the brain, etc. 

 

Besides, is the “YOU” that we’re trying to locate just a 'body'?  

 

 

3) “Ok, fine, I’m my soul and my mind.”  

 

Let’s focus on Soul (or Spirit) first.  

 

So, let's say that God (or Universe, the Source, the Almighty, Consciousness, etc.) created your Soul. But, why would God create both your Soul and a separate "YOU"? 

 

Looking at it logically, “YOU” can’t be both your Soul and "YOU".   

 

Really ponder this.  

 

Just see the logic and look………Look.

We'll come back to the Soul in just a minute.



4) “Ok, I’m a bit confused, but it’s still easy to see that I am my mind (consciousness)."
 

So, if your mind is “YOU”, we should be able to define it. So, what is it and where is it? You might say that your mind is a combination of both your thoughts (the what) and your brain (the where). 

 

Obviously, your brain is part of your body, so we’ll leave that one alone for now. In any case, most people don’t feel like the “YOU” that we’re looking for is merely a 'brain'. 

 

Now, let’s examine thoughts.

Here are some questions for you to consider. So, the “YOU” that we’re looking for is just a collection of thoughts? So, “YOU” are a collection of “evil” thoughts and “good” thoughts?

What about when "YOU" are not thinking any thoughts? Do “YOU” momentarily cease to exist?  

 

What if your thoughts tell you to do something “bad” to someone or even kill them? If it’s really “YOU”, why don’t you listen to “YOU”?

Where do all those crazy thoughts even come from? Are they the “YOU” that you think you are?

 

 

“YOU” are not your thoughts. 

 

What is the “YOU” that you think you are?   

 

 

 

 

TAKE 15 MINUTES and PONDER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

 

 

  • If your Spirit IS “YOU”, why did it create a separate Spirit called “YOU”?

 

  • If YOUR SOUL inhabits your body, why did it have to create “YOU” to inhabit it also?

     

    • If your Consciousness IS “YOU”, why did it create another “YOU” to be Consciousness also?

     

    • If God created YOUR SOUL and put it in your body, why did God create another “YOU” to inhabit your body also? 

     

    •  If your Mind (Consciousness) IS "YOU", why did it create a separate Mind (Consciousness) called "YOU"?  



    What is the “YOU” that you think you are?   There is no "YOU".



    TAKE ANOTHER 10 MINUTES and again PONDER the 5 QUESTIONS above





    There is no “YOU”. Sit with it. Ponder it. No need to meditate on it.

    Don’t force it. Just see it for what it is. Let it settle. Let it simmer.

     

     

    Let it “take hold”. Surrender to it.

     

     

    There is no “YOU”.

     

     

    See it. Look at it. Focus.

     

     

    Just look……….THERE IS NO “YOU”..........

    Look……………See it………………LOOK………..........






    An Equation

     

    It might be useful to look at it like a mathematical equation. You’re saying in essence that there's my Soul and there's "me" (and they both combine to make "me").

    So, the Equation looks like this:     

     

    “YOU”  +  Soul  = “YOU”.   

     

    In mathematics, you CANCEL OUT TWO IDENTICAL TERMS on opposite sides of the equation.  

     

    Therefore, the Equation: 

     

    “YOU”  +  Soul  =  “YOU”
     

    CAN BE REDUCED DOWN by canceling out like terms (both the ‘YOU’s).

    “YOU”  +  Soul  =  “YOU”

    The Equation now becomes simply:     

     Soul


    Here are two more examples:

    EQUATION #1
      

    “YOU”  +  Spirit  = “YOU”
     

    CAN BE REDUCED DOWN by canceling out like terms (both the ‘YOU’s).  

    “YOU”  + Spirit  =  “YOU”

     

    The Equation now becomes simply: 

     

    Spirit 



    EQUATION #2     


    “YOU”  +  Consciousness = “YOU"

    CAN BE REDUCED DOWN by canceling out like terms (both the ‘YOU’s).

     “YOU”  + Consciousness =  “YOU”

     

    The Equation now becomes simply: 

     
    Consciousness


     
    The “YOU” that you thought was "YOU" is an illusion. “YOU” are a mental construct. "YOU" are a figment of your imagination. "YOU" are a fictional EGO-self (the illusory self).

    "YOU" simply don't exist.     A "YOU" is an unnecessary 'extra' in all of these equations. 


    THERE IS NO “YOU”.



    The Mental Construct of  " I "

    If the experience still hasn’t “taken hold”, you may be asking yourself    :      

     

    “I am aware that I am at my computer right now thinking about all this. If there is no “me”, then who is aware of me sitting here and thinking?” 
     

    “I am able to observe everything that is going on around me. If there is no “me”, then who is able to observe everything?”

    "I am conscious of looking at this webpage right now and feeling confused. If there is no "me", then who is conscious of looking at this and feeling confused?"     

     

    ' I ' am aware….. 

    ' I ' am able to observe…..

    ' I ' am conscious......

     

    What is the ' I ' that is being referred to?  

     

    Awareness exists. Observation exists. Consciousness exists. However, they are not "yours". They do not exist separately (in 'you') even though it appears so. 

    Awareness, observation, and consciousness don't require a separate ' I ' to exist. They can exist without the mental construction of ' I '. The mind tries to connect awareness, observation, and consciousness to "something" tangible. So, it creates a separate ' I ' to make sense of things. 


    Brief Exercise     

    If you cease thought, Awareness is what remains. Try the following:

    Take a moment and look out of "your" eyes and observe everything in the room without allowing any thoughts to enter your mind.


    -----------------------------------------------------------

    The Awareness that looks out of 'your' eyes is the exact same Awareness that looks out of 'mine'. The only difference is that of location (or access point).  [Note: I'm not talking about thought. I'm talking about Awareness.]
      

    If you really look, you will not be able to find a separate ' I ' that is behind "your" Awareness. The thing you think of as ' I ' does not exist. In Truth, there is no separate ' I '. 

    In other words:

    There is no "YOU".     

     

    ***Take your time and PONDER the above for several minutes***


    The Thought of "YOU"

    "The experience is still not 'triggering' (after several attempts of pondering all of the above)."
     
    This is likely the sticking point - Your mind logically assumes that since THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, and SENSATIONS exist (This is true), then a separate "YOU" has to also exist because something has to "own" the THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, SENSATIONS, etc. Thus, the first part of the assumption is true while the second part of the assumption (i.e. a separate "YOU") is false. The second part is not true even though it is quite logical.

    It's tricky because it really does FEEL like there's a separate and distinct "YOU". However, it's just a THOUGHT or FEELING or SENSATION. There's nothing other than the THOUGHT, the FEELING, the SENSATION. There is the SENSE of a separate 'self', but no actual, individuated, separate 'self'.


    Questions    :


    The THOUGHT of "YOU" exists. However, if "YOU" are not just a THOUGHT, where is your actual 'self'?


    The FEELING of "YOU" exists. However, if "YOU" are not just a FEELING, where is your actual 'self'?


    The SENSATION of "YOU" exists. However, if "YOU" are not just a SENSATION, where is your actual 'self'?


    The CONCEPT of "YOU" exists. However, if "YOU" are not just a CONCEPT, where is your actual 'self'?


    The IDEA of "YOU" exists. However, if "YOU" are not just an IDEA, where is your actual 'self'?


    ***Contemplate these questions for several minutes***



    Without an actual 'self',     you're left with merely a SENSE, FEELING, THOUGHT, CONCEPT, IDEA, PROJECTION, INKLING, ATTACHMENT of a separate 'self', but nowhere is there an actual, separate "YOU" to be found.
     Question:

    Can you conceive of the POSSIBILITY that there is just a THOUGHT, FEELING, or SENSATION that there is a separate "YOU", but no actual "YOU"? 

    THINK ABOUT IT, in your wildest imagination,     IS IT     POSSIBLE?

    If not, why not?


    ***At a later time, take some time and contemplate this***
     


    The FEELING of Existing

    "I continue to have the feeling that there is a 'me', the feeling that I exist ."
    The FEELING of existing & being alive is real. However, the mind incorrectly interprets WHERE that FEELING comes from. 

    The FEELING of existing & being alive does not originate from a separate "YOU". Amazingly, the FEELING of existing & being alive
    is actually coming from the undivided WHOLE of Consciousness (or Awareness, Source, Life, or whatever label you prefer).

    In other words, that FEELING of existing that you attribute to "YOU" is actually coming from undivided Consciousness. It is the undivided WHOLE of Consciousness. It is the undivided WHOLE of Awareness.

    The greatest falsity in human history all boils down to a misconception made by the mind.

    It's an incredible Paradox - T    he FEELING of existing is not coming from a separate 'self' (even though the mind interprets it that way). That inner FEELING of existing is coming from a unified WHOLE. It is not coming from a separate entity called "YOU".

    In other words:

    THERE IS NO "YOU"

    The Process of Looking

    "The experience didn't 'trigger' for me."

    From this point forward, it is no longer based on pondering, contemplating, or questioning. It's now based on LOOKING (for a "YOU").

    If "YOU" consist of more than just the THOUGHT, FEELING, SENSATION of a separate entity called "YOU", then there must be some EVIDENCE of "something" more.

    You must now LOOK to see where that is.

    The definition of 'Looking' is exactly as the word implies - Look for a separate "YOU" as if you were looking for your reading glasses in your room. Through FOCUSED LOOKING, the experience can be 'triggered'.

    Now, it's time to earnestly LOOK for that EVIDENCE (of "something" more). Try your best to not come up with logical arguments or some way to make sense of everything. In order to have the experience, you have to do the work.
     
    At this point, you have to literally KEEP LOOKING to find that "something" that is the separate 'thing' called "YOU" (other than a THOUGHT, FEELING, SENSATION).  By going through the PROCESS of Looking, the experience can be 'triggered'.


    What is the “YOU” that you think you are?      THERE IS NO "YOU".
